I just never understood the need for so much disk room on a laptop to be honest... I wouldn't ever want to store data on a laptop drive, and flash sticks are slowly getting cheaper for 32GB sizes now. For someone that doesn't even have a desktop I might see that, but then again that's why...

It's not cheap, but this is what I had tried: http://www.cloudmark.com/en/home.html I think you will notice better results with that if my experience was anything to go by, the false positives were pretty much nonexistent (I only ever found one, but considering the hundreds of messages each...

Yeah, it's amazing how many system control panels it takes just to configure an OS for daily use these days, I am definitely adding the Task Scheduler to my growing list. Seeing just the number of the other programs set to auto-run and send in various types of information back to Microsoft...

You can mix RAM with different lancies, but the board will default to the slowest latency (and in some cases, an even slower latency) for compatibility reasons. It's not a big deal, and you can set the board yourself to the latencies specificed by the slowest modules. For almost all desktop...

They were going to actually do this. However, the EU apparently was ready with more billion dollar fines, which is why Microsoft has done such a quick about face. There was (and still is) apparently some investigations going on by the EU into Microsoft. And yes, also Intel. Better info on the...

BIt of a delayed reply, I didn't want to comment until I'd seen a review I'd find credible. The performance is indeed really good, and in fact par with the TRUE using a 1600rpm fan apparently. (Not quite as good as their display rig setup after all). Given the price difference I'd suggest...

I would bet Apple wouldn't go to court over it because their own long running ad campaigns would come under fire from Microsoft. While most have at minimum some fraction of truth to them, a few were just outright libel or perpetuate already common PC myths. If libel could be proven in court...

Learn something new every day... so even if it is a 2.5" drive that doesn't guarantee it is formfactor compatible with any laptop or 2.5" device. Such much for standards! ;)

VMware Server is technically free if you sign up for it through their website, but it is limited in functionality and is primarily designed for remote access. It can be run and administered locally, but again as I've found out it's limited in features. I'll put it this way, ever since I gave...

Yes. Run the same number of threads in Prime95 as the same number of threads in Linx, just as one example. ;) I totally don't have any basis right now on this, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with the type of workload, what execution units in the CPU are utilized, and definitely how well the...

So out of curiosity, just how do you handle the spam problem? I tried Thunderbird but had to resort to a paid 3rd party program for Gmail-grade spam filtering... when the trial period ended I just gave it up although it did work decently after it had time to "learn". Considering I was...

"Bugs", such as the Windows Experience Index progarm constantly auto-running itself regardless of if you are in the middle of a fullscreen game (FPS hit 0), movie (slideshow), or have the CPU pegged at 100% (WTF, nothing responds and everything's using the Basic scheme). I found out it was...

Don't even have to wait that long, we will be seeing price cuts on these after four months. :) Better question is if I can keep myself from pulling the trigger until then... blah. Not only have all of the SSD manufacturers cut prices to resume their place undercutting Intel, but quite a few...

The ante has been raised, Palm updated their phone too, so now it works again. ;) http://www.dailytech.com/Palm+Foils+Apples+Plans+Pre+Can+Now+Sync+With+iTunes/article15779.htm

Tried using the other DVI port on the card? Or hooking up your old monitor to it again to check the GPU?

I'd say that 3DO game takes the cake... it looks like something an 9th grader came up with the night before his project deadline... except I'd be insulting 9th graders by saying that. Crap like that is why Nintendo made sure they had tight reigns on their Nintendo consoles, because Atari and...

Oh, I'm sure it's quite true. The price cuts and introduction of a $999 machine are certainly true. And if ya still doubt it, try the follow up article ;) http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=15787

Rob, this was headline news for days two weeks ago... unfortunately it sounds like you haven't heard most of the story. You might start at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31835021/ It had been going on for over a year I think it was said. There are plenty of other sites with much more coverage...

I could use a screen like that to monitor FPS rates from a third party program, GPU information such as VRM or core temps, or other information I'd want to know while playing a fullscreen game. Other options might be overclock or system level hardware setting manipulation sort of like what ASUS...

Everyone I know swears by these things, and out of all the "energy drinks" this one is probably safer than many and doesn't appear to result in a headfirst crash into the ground when it wears off. I've never tried it myself though, energy drinks are not something I'll subject my body to unless I...
