    Apple's iPhone 4 Reception Issues Continue to Mount

    I got the iPhone 4 a few days ago (thank you work!) and I can honestly say that it's on par, if not better than the 3G that it replaced. I'm still in the break in period and testing it's reception, regardless of what the bars report, is still in it's infancy. I will report back with my...

    Problematic LAN ports?

    I can't say for sure that it was a surge, but with the storms we have had recently, thats my guess. I am fortunate that my gear that is acting up is under warranty. If not, I would have to battle APC, as they are the makers of my surge protector. Either way, its a monumental hassle to reboot...

    Problematic LAN ports?

    Ethernet ports are very delicate when it comes to electrical surges. I have a cheap APC surge protector/power strip between the outside grid and my computer and I have recently ran into issues similar to yours. I have the same issues with my Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P. It's random but after a...

    In which Greg gets a "green" HDD

    You win Ben. You called me out. Well done. I should have stated that living in an apartment, any piece of heat generating hardware impacts my room's temperature a fair amount. For example, turning off my monitor when not in use has done wonders for my overall temperatures at night.

    In which Greg gets a "green" HDD

    So I have a single drive, passively cooled, QNAP NAS box (much like this one) and in that NAS is a Seagate 7200 RPM drive. All I do with this is use it's built in Twonky Media to stream videos to my PS3 in the living room. With the normal Seagate drive in there, things got hot. Not hot enough...

    Games you are playing

    I have gone back a few years and have been playing Command and Conquer: Generals with my roommate and his cousin via the internets. Such a fun game.

    What to do, what to do,what to do.....Comp Upgrade

    Thoughts... other than that you should try to get it someplace else (Best Buy is usually overpriced and all around just a shady organization), I have no other thoughts. That seems to be a good monitor with good specs.

    Hello There, Ladies and Gentlemen...

    I do what you do if I have to have multiple windows open at once but then again, Alt+Tab is a powerful tool as well. I too have a 1920x1200 monitor and like Kouger (I am assuming) I did not buy my monitor for web browsing. On a side note, for multitasking, there is no better option than...

    I'm surprised that it took as long as it did.

    Kindle 2 Text-to-Speech Feature Now Optional (to Publishers)

    I could not agree with you more. I would like to see a company (why not Amazon?!?) offer the Kindle for $199, subsidizing the cost to the consumer and then have a contract like system where you pay XXX a month and get access to their data store of books. This is what the cell phone companies...

    Hello There, Ladies and Gentlemen...

    This has been discussed in the past and I cannot agree with you more. :D That said, not everyone uses a wide screen monitor and for those, the site looks solid.

    Building an Affordable "Skulltrail" System

    Hey Mike, I can't speak too close to this platform as I have only seen it in person when with Intel. Rob however should talk your ear off so you might want to wait to hear from him. One of the advantages of going the water route is that your cooling capacity is raised significantly (you know...

    Windows 7 to be Released in October?

    That is an inaccurate observation and an unfair one at that. That said, it makes little sense to try out Vista now with 7 being so close.

    Windows 7 to be Released in October?

    I would say sooner the better but really, I have been happy with Vista since SP1 came out and remedied a lot of the issues I had with the OS. Vista got a bad wrap at the beginning (and mostly it was deserved) but I think the thing that hurt Vista sales the most was the idea of "why upgrade?"...

    Logitech G9 Laser Gaming Mouse

    I have been using the MX Revolution for a few months now and I honestly do not miss my MX518 at all. That was the best mouse I have ever owned, and still is, but circumstances have called for a wireless offering and this Revo is hands down amazing. It's week + battery life isn't anything to...

    Gigabyte Open Overclocking Championship 2009

    I could not agree with you more on that. It puts their hardware's capabilities into perspective and opens up that potential to the budget minded masses.
