    Coca-Cola Retains Top Spot for Most Valuable Brand in 2011

    I used to think so about five years back... I could not disagree more, though. :) They're driving technology as much as Intel and have a very rock solid business portfolio. They continue to design and develop super computers and service most of the server industry. And in assigned patents, they...

    Time is Running Out Fast to Speak Out Against SOPA

    Wiki and Minecraft didn't go down... you could hit the escape key and Wikipedia would go back to being a normal site ;) I didn't find that out until later, but I was just using the Google cache page instead anyway. Minecraft never went down at all, they only displayed a large message of protest...

    Would it be Worth Moving to a Calendar Where Every Year Was the Same?

    Hahaha... oh man. But that is a very, very good point. :D

    Intel to Make Thunderbolt Available for the PC in April

    Eh, I gotta say it's needed. Hard drives max out USB 2.0, even THUMB drives max out USB 2.0 these days. Any time I make a thumb drive bootable and copy a DVD-sized install package onto it, I do wish I had a USB 3.0 thumb drive... Or every time I back up the 16GB thumb drive itself... Then...

    Intel Demos DX11 Support on Ivy Bridge Ultrabook

    At least for me, the issue was less about the demo being a video, and more about Mooly lying to everyone's face after being caught red-handed about it. The lie stinks worse than the video. I am pretty sure if he replaced "being run from backstage" with "just a video" nobody except a handful of...

    Dr Pepper pissed me off.

    Was surprised when Rob linked me to this thread! This is just horrible. It goes beyond buying out the little guy... all marketing, signs, advertising, etc, is no longer allowed to say "Dublin Dr. Pepper", so people are having to cover up or paint over the Dublin in their advertising. This...

    Healthiest and unhealthiest restaurants in the US

    This probably explains why I liked that red cabbage salmon something or other at the Cheesecake Factory so much. Every bite was bliss. :D Been ages since I've gone back though, was a temporary dish. That's a good point... they're more like convenience stores in the south. People rob them as...

    Lineage II - Hard Drive vs. Solid-State Drive

    That's pretty astonishing the disk alone would be a bottleneck for the game! How about load times and game launch times, were those as appreciably affected as the actual gameplay when you tried out the SSD? Regarding Civ V, the game bogs down from the processor overhead involved from all the...

    G.Skill Releases 64GB Memory Kit Clocked at DDR3-2400

    So Rob... I hear you were looking for someone to start doing memory reviews? :D That's just insane, 64GB at 2400MHz. That's the equivalent of having your cake and eating it too, a la mode with ice cream too.

    Can Mozilla's Firefox Become a Dominant Force Again?

    I don't think it can, honestly. They had the top spot, then squandered it away by adopting this absurd marketing-based release cycle. It's undermined their own base of support and their credibility to boot. There are plenty of other choices out there with stable histories behind them now, and...

    Louis C.K. Cuts Out the Middleman; Sells Latest Show for $5

    I don't think they would ....because Adobe already knows what you think Photoshop is worth. :D

    EVGA Precision 2.1.1 released

    Man, I wish EVGA would quit this. Either build a single program, or keep them separate... now there are three EVGA programs just to control GPU voltages, and two programs to overclock them. :rolleyes:

    k|ngp|n Sets 3DMark 11 Extreme Record with EVGA Hardware

    Really? Five 1200w power supplies?? Not sure that says good things about EVGA power supplies... :p

    Trouble loading webpages and flash

    Thanks Rob. I was wondering about the hardware, Newegg had a few users claiming there are defective NICs on ASRock boards.... The linux distro would be the quickest way to find out.
