I would also be amongst the first to upgrade my OS, but this time around I can't even be bothered to pay $30 for a new copy of Windows 8 Pro. I have spent some time using Windows Server 2012 and although I eventually discovered many of the context-menus still exist (right-clicking the start area...

I still don't fully understand the point of the jump.... Speed of sound is nothing when you realize all the people floating aboard the ISS are traveling at a velocity of 4.8 miles per second. The speed of sound is "only" 0.21 miles per second by comparison. :D haha, I wish I could go...

So how're you guys liking the Xbox 360 Metro interface? Or has that not rolled out just yet? As for the lyrics judgment.... that was a default ruling, meaning the guy didn't even bother to show up and follow the rules of the court proceedings. If he had I suspect it would've turned out in his...

Rob, actually I would say you are right. The "big picture" feature Steam debuted recently is best FOR movies, honestly I don't see any other reason to have it at all. It even feels exactly like Windows Media Center did. Valve has been aggressively persuing new markets of late... everything...

Well, the review I saw stated the AMD Trinity part had around a 5-15% performance loss compared to its nearest Intel priced equivalent, on CPU performance. That's bad, but it is also isn't all doom and gloom. That said... it's cheapest Intel equivalent has no turbo mode and is a cut down i3...

I'm not dismissing them outright. I merely don't see IGP's taking over the gaming market anything within the next few years, to put it mildly. The point about AMD's APU's showing performance increases with faster RAM also goes to my point. Changing from DDR3-1333 to DDR3-1866 RAM gave Llano...

It took some thinking on this... but I do have to agree with Scott's point-of-view here. What this tactic is, is a double-edged sword. The first "wave" of 'reviews' praises the GPU, and so the uninformed public will get a generally positive view of the APU design. Many people won't read...

Rob... IB-E is due next year. I don't have an exact date though... last roadmap I saw says Haswell in Q2 and IB-E in Q3. All I know is that Intel will not want to launch IB-E alongside Haswell, so those launches will be spaced apart. The problem with IB-E is that it's only a tiny...

Make or break time for OCZ... they need someone smart to steer the company over the next two years. Right now OCZ's brand image is significantly tarnished... I mentioned this to Rob when this subject came up. I keep an eye on sites like Fatwallet and Slickdeals.net. Anyone familiar with OCZ...

That's the catch... I am not that knowledgeable about intricacies of the power system, but power is not "generated" and then not used. The power grids are fed in real time and generation plants are cycled on/off or adjusted to maintain a healthy supply, while avoiding a deficit or a huge surplus...

Haha :D

Yeah, it's a good point about the burner.... even if you want to future proof yourself.... who is to say the burner you buy today will support the type of blu-ray discs they will have in a year or two or three from now?

A flat line would be an improvement for the company, honestly. RIM made the mistake of basing the majority of its business upon businesses, major corporations, and governments with its business-centric focus. Which is fine, but they stopped innovating and planning ahead. It gave them plenty...

Which I find to be hilarious, because even my mother has one. She doesn't understand how to use it, but the city she works for has adopted the iphone as their supported phone of choice.

In 2006 that would've been true, but today? 1920x1080 is one of the most common resolutions on 20-24" displays. I am no longer a small subset of gamers. Even cheap 21" sets comes with it. As for such niche gamers ya reference, they have already ugpraded to cheap 27" QHD sets that use 2560x1440...

That goes exactly to my point, however. Why should anyone develop for OpenGL, if 95% of gamers use Windows with DirectX? We have to see DEMAND for OpenGL before more games will consider using it, or consider even using basing their future game on OpenGL so they can market their game across more...

Actually, I fully am serious! The average Joe isn't capable of realizing they need to check what version their OS is when they buy a computer. Many still try to upgrade their RAM past 4GB when the OS can't even use the 4GB they have. I don't see the need for the confusion to be perpetuated...

That is insane. On the other hand, it sounds like a dream game for GPU, SSD, and CPU benchmarking all rolled into one bleeping huge package....

30w less power under load, $20 cheaper, and 5-10% faster on the CPU-side. Pretty good. Can't wait to see some low voltage or CULV versions in laptops! 0.9v at 4Ghz is pretty darn nice already...

It's a good Cherry MX keyboard at a better than average price. Especially with partial LEDs. Equivalent keyboards tend to cost between $20-40 more. I may have bought one of these if they had been launched several weeks earlier. As for the lack of macro keys, those would require drivers to...
