Heh, first time I recall hearing any specific figures... but 5x a very big number is an even bigger number. :eek: It does explain why so many people in TF2 servers are newbies again... :D

Um, the confirmation is already out there in the WD press release, Seagate's press release, and statements made by everyone from Dell to Apple. In my opinion, the first physical "confirmation" will be a constant hiking of prices or even some models going out of stock. Having the entire first...

I am surprised at how many boards they cut the memory slots down to four on.... ASUS offers eight slots across their entire range of boards, by comparison.

Hmm, interesting. JJ was talking about his preference for AIDA64's stress tester tool over Prime95 because the tests are optimized specifically for CPUs they run on, and so will utilize newer execution technologies like AVX if they are available.

Thanks for the link Rob! Looks like they are the same stepping, and are still missing VT-d. Might be a better bin, but otherwise it's a fully identical chip then.

I'd still recommend 100GB+ sized SSDs where all possible! The performance is still better and the lifespan of the drive will be much better given there is more area for wear leveling to balance writes / garbage collection across. That is what will lower the write amplification, which in turn...

That's part of the issue. 2600K chips may not OC as well if Intel starts aggressively binning the better silicon to 2700K sku's. Worst case scenario is that future 2600K chips would overclock worse, because the better silicon would instead go towards the 2700K. There is always some degree of...

Granted, it's kinda silly for a mouse profile. But I wouldn't knock cloud computing itself... Gmail counts as cloud computing, and I am not the only person that very much relies on that service. ;) Having Steam's cloud service remember game presets, profiles, and settings across multiple...

At one time or another, they were the most developed, or the most advanced in the world. Greece, Persia, China, Egypt... War and internal strife are usually the culprit, although changing weather patterns that brought famine, or even the imposition or staunch adoption of super rigid religious...

Ugh, you so hit the nail on the head with that statement. :( There's a pile accumulating underneath my monitor... I used to love building multi-story card castles when I was younger, I could almost try that with SSDs now. :p

Oh, another X-men movie is in the works? They've already filled in all the back history, a new one to take what's left of the story and do something with it to be pretty interesting...

Oh no. Oh god no. If that thing has sound effects too..... :(

ZZF has been like this for well over a year now. They are refusing to officially shut down, but it's been apparent as early as two years ago that they were on thin ice. I no longer have anything to do with them simply because even if they did put a site back up, it's a risk to shop at any...

Rob, exactly. This was exceedingly long overdue... Quite a few other good updates with this one too!

Haha, that was in the WSJ... my favorite was the "Beam me up, Scotty" command. What's amusing is even the same question will generate different responses. There already is. ;) It doesn't work as well though from the reports I've seen, but it's close. Siri is pretty damn impressive given...

Waited for this for ages, but had to try and read the reviews in-between flights, oi! I hate to be critical of AMD, but even with my low expectations I was disapointed with this chip. For every bench it did well it then was another bench that its older generation, slower clocked, six-core...

Haha, I asked about those but Gary said there would've been an uproar if they had... was purely a hardware & motherboard event, nothing mobile. ;)

That initial quote had just a little silly after-effect editing from somewhere, as that wasn't quite how it started. In fact Jobs said HP was his idol.. ;) Steve Jobs recounting that tale, in his own words: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtuz5OmOh_M Text version here After watching his...

Optix, I'm really not sure the Synapse is comparable to the built in cache on say, Gigabyte's boards. It's one thing to cache data with 8-20GB of data, but to use a 120GB SSD as a cache drive? There wouldn't even be a comparison. I guess because Intel charges the same price for the 20GB cache...

My problem is the blog didn't answer a single question I had, highly irritating. I would assume because they pointedly mention in the blog that users like to have the ability to disable or revert to prior versions with design elements that they would incorporate that ability, but they don't say...
