    Dear Bethesda,

    Oh well, their loss. I was going to buy the Dawnguard DLC when it came out but I won't now. I was also seriously considering the new MMO they're putting out. The only MMO I've ever been interested in aside from KoL. Now... no thanks. I even went so far as to remove the other Bethesda games I...

    Is a 2880x1800 Resolution Worth Getting Excited Over?

    SLI memory is not cumulative.

    Dear Bethesda,

    I posted the same thing over at their forums and it was locked in under an hour. The mod that locked it told me in the thread that if I'd like to list the bugs I'm having and a DXDIAG (in spoiler tags?!) then feel free. I PM'ed him asking how exactly I'm supposed to do that when he's closed the...

    Dear Bethesda,

    I'd like to thank you for the latest update to Skyrim. Prior to version 1.6 I could play this game for hours on end with just the occasional glitch or crash. Now, after this latest update, the game has become so unstable that I'm lucky to get 30 minutes of play time in before it crashes back to...

    Is a 2880x1800 Resolution Worth Getting Excited Over?

    Nope. I don't have a single icon on my desktop purely to save the video memory. I didn't know that the memory used by your desktop remains in use during gaming when I first started with PC's.

    Apple Releases First MacBook Pro with 'Retina' Display

    http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook-Pro-with-Retina-Display-Teardown/9462/#.T9lx1LUpVW9 This was linked to over at another site, thought it was relevant. Ram, soldered to the board, proprietary SSD and glued in batteries... and the display is fused together so it's a replace not repair...

    Is a 2880x1800 Resolution Worth Getting Excited Over?

    If the response is making the fonts and images bigger (upscaling) to compensate for the huge resolution in a small area... why bother?

    Rob, you should know that a lot of women find bald men uber sexy. Seriously.

    Facebook: Real Profiles vs. Fake Profiles

    I guess I just have no imagination. My one and only Facebook profile is about the near fifty fatman sitting here typing this. When I play RPG's my characters are male and I try to make them look as much like me as I can if I have that ability. Pretty boring I guess but as I read (on facebook...

    Is a 2880x1800 Resolution Worth Getting Excited Over?

    If you have to upscale everything I just don't see the point to be honest. Four pixels doing the work of one pixel is a waste of pixels IMO. Like I said before, the resolution itself is sound on a larger display. The reason I'm not hot and heavy into getting a 27" display is the fact that the...

    Chrome OS (version 19) Gets Tested

    As someone using android on a phone I've got to say that I agree. Google isn't the "feel good" company they pretend to be.

    Is a 2880x1800 Resolution Worth Getting Excited Over?

    Who is bashing YOU? In the thread in mobile computing I commented on the resolution rendering things too small due to the physics (if you will) of how things are displayed on a screen. If 100 pixels takes up an inch of space physically on a display running at a certain resolution and you double...

    Snoop uses MAINGEAR

    I bought it because it was the cheapest backlit keyboard I could get into. I'm not a touch typist and the lit keys make my life so much easier. When I look at the keys after looking at the screen my eyes can pick out the letters on the keys with the backlighting. On a standard keyboard they need...

    Snoop uses MAINGEAR

    If I was rich I would too. BTW, I have the same keyboard and it's a HUGE pile. It randomly stops typing characters. Sometimes just one, sometimes multiple and when I called RAZR about it their plan was for me to send it in and they'd send another when it got there. Meanwhile I either get to do...

    IMO, no. Good reason to buy reading glasses though.

    Apple Releases First MacBook Pro with 'Retina' Display

    I guess I'm the only person who thinks this is about the dumbest thing ever. A huge resolution is fine on a huge monitor because you have the physical real estate to make the displayed item appear legible. For instance, a 20" monitor at 1680X1050 displaying a 50pX50p thumbnail will take up...

    Thermaltake WATER2.0 Performer - $50

    Damn, I remember when water cooling used to be made out of stuff that was cobbled together from car parts, aquarium pumps and hardware store fittings. Now it's cheap and mainstream enough that even the CPU MFG's are offering it.

    Sapphire - Win A Compter That's So Messed Up I Won't Even Enter

    Agreed, I'm just wondering what the limit is. I'm guessing that in '03 they made 500 or so and they're so freaking ugly that they still have 400+ left.

    A Look at Steam's Hardware Survey for May 2012

    I'm in the majority on a couple of things but still mostly in the minority. AMD, 1680x1050, GTX260 (DX10), sub 5 gigs of ram.

    Apple receives yet another broad patent

    I should patent cuckoo clocks since I'm sure there aren't any currently in force. Sure, they've only been making them for 200-300 years but WTF? What've I got to lose, right?
