Gaming hardware is something that will always be up for sale, even if a catastrophe happens and desktop PCs really do die out for some reason.
Ozone is the one launching a new gaming keyboard this time, one that works with every version of Windows from 98 onwards (Win98SE/Me/2000/XP/VISTA/WIN 7/8).
As seen in the v... |

Only yesterday night, illusionist and endurance artist David Blaine willingly stepped into a man-made electrical storm, planning to spend the following 72 hours surrounded by a million volts of electric current.
It may very well be that this daredevil has a steel chain-mail suit and a metal head cage to protect him... |

The 1987 Montreal Protocol is a piece of legislation that not many are familiar with, but one that will have far-reaching implications for our well-being, and for the health of the planet. Above is an image showing how the hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica evolved over the years.
What the 1987 agreement did ... |

Roccat would prefer that its new mousepad be used to support one of its own mice, but there is no reason why a different brand cannot be used, like Ozone.
Ozone, a European peripheral company, has launched the Xenon, an ambidextrous mouse equipped with the AVAGA sensor, whose sensitivity of up to 3,500 DPI can be ch... |

After the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded on April 20, and sank into the Gulf of Mexico two days later, as much as 1 in every 13 barrels of spilled oil was eventually turned into particles that made their way into the atmosphere, rather than being deposited in the sea.
The conclusion belongs to a new study, whic... |

A new study by researchers in the United States indicates that the sudden release of ozone in the atmosphere – detectable as spikes in the usual concentrations – could be used as an indicator that a large earthquake is imminent.
The group explains that rocks fracturing underground tend to release this t... |

Cosmic collisions and explosions taking place as far away as the other side of the galaxy could pose a significant risk to life here on Earth. This class of events has the potential to trigger the release of unfathomably-large amounts of radiations, which the magnetosphere will not be able to deflect.
Usually, our... |

The famous hole that exists in the ozone layer above Antarctica is apparently influencing the patterns of tropical rainfall, shifting these atmospheric phenomena ever-southwards. The correlation appears especially true in the southern hemisphere. At this point, massive rainfalls are beginning to affect the eastern pa... |

Earth's ozone layer could be utterly destroyed and depleted if a medium-sized asteroid slams into the deep ocean, rather than hitting a landmass. The new work shows the layer would take decades to be restored, during which time the damage to the planet would be substantial. The largest atmospheric effect would b... |

This is a tricky gas: while protecting life on Earth, ozone can be at the same time a slayer.
