    The loss of a Visionary: Steve Jobs Passes

    I don't own any Apple products, and at least for most of them I wouldn't have any real interest in owning. But I do feel Steve Jobs was a visionary... Why? Find any other company as large as Apple that hasn't imploded or become so bureaucratic that it can't design and innovate. Apple has...

    The Steve We've Lost: A Quick Look at His Accomplishments

    The guy not only did what he loved throughout his life but he achieved the goals he set out to do with Apple. Not many people can say the same.

    OCZ Technology Acquires UK Design Team & IP from UK PLX Technology

    It's nothing huge... OCZ already owns Indilinx, has its own well-established products that utilize related technology... all they are doing is binging more of the physical / firmware development in-house and collecting some extra IP rights for new tricks. It's a logical step and will drop...

    Getting dual 6970's for BF3...need a bigger case

    Interesting, I didn't notice they updated the 932 with an advanced model! I would still suggest the HAF-X over it personally, but that's just my prefs... not the least of which being power/reset buttons that can't be tripped by pets, children, or a random touch in the dark. And the LED's in...

    Building PCs for friends pays off!

    Just wow. Maybe you should deactivate all the non-USB ports on his system... :eek: I'm looking at the specs again... if the storage change doesn't fix it, rip out that PSU and get a Corsair 500w or greater unit. I've heard of Thermaltakes having issues before.

    Won Another Motherboard!

    Congrats Eunoia! Interesting they place the BBB logo forefront on the box, and the largest one at that.

    Amazon Launches Four New Kindle Devices

    I'd agree in that I don't believe the device is being positioned as a direct iPad competitor. That's why I made my first post, because the Kindle Fire can be a huge success regardless of whatever the iPad does. The Kindle Fire is being tied into Amazon in quite a few ways, and can turn into...

    Building PCs for friends pays off!

    It's not impossible to plug USB cables into firewire ports, regardless of the types involved. People still confuse the two all the time... Now that laptops + desktops are coming out with combination eSATA + USB ports-in-one, I'm sure it won't help things any. It's real easy to plug USB ports...

    Amazon Launches Four New Kindle Devices

    These definitely look promising, I think Amazon will be able to go places with these.

    Adobe Photoshop (cs5) Help!

    Dark's suggestion sounds good to me. If you pre-define the grids on a paper-sized page template, you can just quickly drop in the cards you want to use. Photoshop allows this when creating a new workpage. When it comes to cutting them they will already be lined up allowing easy slicing, if...

    Windows 8 Could Require Internet Access for Continued Use

    Well other than the ribbon interface, MS already stated users can select Windows 8 to stick to the traditional desktop interface. They are as aware as anybody that Metro is as poor an interface for desktops as the desktop interface is for small touch devices. I've also read that the ribbon can...

    Me PC!!

    Awesome system! The ASUS Maximus IV has the new Marvel controller in it supposedly, even. And the Corsair AX series is the best PSU brand to buy right now, gold efficiency and one of the best ratings JonnyGuru has given yet. Have fun building it! :)

    Microsoft to Utilize UEFI to Make Boots Faster with Windows 8

    Windows users could just turn it back on, though. I'll grant it's tedious but unless the user frequently boots back and forth it should be manageable. As I understand it, Secure Booting only needs to be disabled during the Linux install or boot process... it can be turned back on when working...

    Microsoft to Utilize UEFI to Make Boots Faster with Windows 8

    After reading up on this, I would have to disagree. Most mainboard makers will include the option within UEFI to disable the secure boot option. If someone wants to install Linux then they will know how to do this. The only real issue is OEM venders... system venders may very well prefer to...

    Kingston HyperX 240GB SATA 6Gbit/s SSD Review

    I was looking into that. The deal is, Intel calls all its NAND "compute" grade, so I don't understand the distinction. The NAND in the 320 is "compute" and so is the NAND in the 710 Series, but the actual NAND itself is completely different (MLC vs HET-MLC). So I don't understand where "compute"...

    Need help looking for a particular device.

    If you google "USB wireless hub" or "USB wireless station" you will find quite a few devices that will wirelessly connect USB devices around a room. Some will make the devices available to WiFi or ethernet networks, but others will simply be wireless USB hubs. The spec has never been that...

    New motherboard is ORDERED!

    Did you try using the button on the motherboard for the memory boot failure?? This should at least get it running long enough to patch the BIOS... :(

    Kingston HyperX 240GB SATA 6Gbit/s SSD Review

    I was definitely surprised myself... On paper I would have expected the HyperX to be par with the V3, but it is clearly ahead. The V3MI (as I call it) is toggle-based, so it should have offered higher performance. And it did... compared to the original V3, yet the HyperX more than kept pace in...

    Daisy-Chaining Not Possible with mini-DP and Apple's Thunderbolt Displays

    Ah, so ya did catch that part! I would say it's an artificial driver limitation done by Apple, as there shouldn't be any actual hardware issues. Not altogether clear why Apple would do such a thing though...
