    VMware Fusion Gains Ability to Run OS X 10.5-10.7 in a VM

    A patch a few people might not install for a while.... :p I was actually suprised by the apple/microsoft value argument. I just read a day ago about Microsofts 210 billion dollar worth in an article on the new anti trust case. Seems this isnt true. But apple is a hardware company these days...

    Turns out my car is worth more than I thought...

    If you live in a crowded city its an awesome ride for parking. I cant say I am as worried about accidents as most people are. For various reasons of course but I always joke it'll just bounce off into the distance like a soccer ball. I am 6 foot tall and used to drive a 1966 Austin Healey...

    The Stop Online Piracy Act

    Its also pretty easy to overlook. That thing is written out like one of my term papers. Fill it with relevant BS and get your point across for an A+. Microsoft has a pretty good reason to stand with the BSA, along with other companies like adobe and autodesk. Their software is pirated by...

    The Stop Online Piracy Act

    They made a list of everyone who is members with BSA. They did not make a list of companies who said they supported this particular action. They cover there butts in the article by saying "unless they publicly say they don't" and then let hate begin. They created a troll article to enrage...

    Steam Databases Compromised; Password Changes Recommended

    Probably why i didn't get it either. My friend that I informed is the same way and usually 2 days behind me on the news. Oh is my free year of identity theft protection from the PSN deal still ticking or has it been a year yet? I don't think I even completed the sign up sadly.

    THAT = FAIL lol. They did this with the 460 2WIN - http://www.tomshardware.com/news/gtx-460-2win-dual-fermi-gf104,12373.html The 560 Ti Core CAN NOT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM be hardware SLi'd past 2 cores. Its a core design feature and until they start putting out wafers with support for it...

    HDD PRICES ARE SKYROCKETING!!

    Last weeks news, they already speculated on march being the supply recovery date. Makes me want to spend the money on an SSD instead and suck up the lack of space elsewhere. Retail stores didn't take an immediate hit if you need a drive check best buy and other places. They will go up very...

    Sporadic CPU usage

    Interesting. Ive seen similar when a Single thread app was running on my quad core because the thread scheduler moves it around. But for it to show up on HT cores the same way is a bit off.

    Other than having an automatic extinguisher aimed at the pc? I would keep it on a surge protector of course after the fire destroys enough it may trip it up or even stop its own feed. But neither guarantee stopping the fire. You do get what you pay for. If your manufacturer doesn't make...
