I can't. A second or third GPU will help that situation a lot more than disabling something as minor as Aero. If they're THAT fussy about turning things up to 11, they need to haul out their wallet, not just tweak their system in the most minor ways possible.

I think those gamers are making a mountain out of a molehill. GPUs are more efficient than ever, so it's not as though running Aero is going to affect your game's framerate in a noticeable way - especially if you are running the game full-screen. In windowed mode, it'd be understandable that...

The problem with this is that things change. You might stick to one vendor forever because of past experiences with another, but then the tables can turn at some point and you'll end up using the lesser of the two.

To me, Surface can be a game-changer for one major reason: it's a computer. Plain and simple... it's a computer. It's not an Android or iOS tablet that has a locked-down OS and can't run x86 applications - it's a full-on computer. That means people have the best of both worlds here. People can...

At least the bars are wide enough for doing upside-down pull-ups. We all do those, right?

You managed to move Facebook? I don't think I was able to for some reason. So kudos on that. There ARE some programs that just refuse to be moved for some reason, but I'm not entirely sure why. If anything, some of them might tie themselves to the underlying system and be required to be on the...

Yup, not a bad idea at all. I'd just recommend buying from a reputable place, and make sure it has a warranty, even if it's used (and if buying from a company).

You mean this one? The one that Ryan almost broke his back moving around? Yes, we know all about that one. ;)

I admit that I haven't heard of a single one of these games, but for those who want to game on the cheap, this might just be the right ticket: http://www.gamersgate.com/indiefort-bundle?aff=ggnews 3079 Fortix 2 Aztaka Dark Scavenger DEMISE: Ascension Intrusion 2

Geez, I wish, but no. It's still here. Naish on these forums actually works there, so I'll see if he can chime in. He tends to be privy to information like that.

Leading up to its impromptu press event held in Los Angeles earlier today, Microsoft promised to announce something too big to miss - and as it turns out, it wasn't joking. At the event, the company unveiled its own branded tablet called "Surface". You might recall that Surface is already an...

LOL. I am much more of a beer drinker, but I do like wine on occasion. Depends on the meal or situation.

In case you plan to spend your afterlife as a zombie, it'd help to know the best wine pairings with various part of the body. Maynard Keenan of Tool owns a winery, and his recommended wine for eating off a face (a la bath salts guy), is a nice pinot noir - but not for the nose. Beer is better...

One thing's for sure... Bethesda just doesn't care about bugs or the problems they cause. It's been proven time and time again. Any time a new title is released, it's unbelievably buggy, and then gets a lot better six months down the road. They definitely suffer from the "release now fix later"...

In regards to data and privacy, I couldn't agree more.

If I didn't stand to lose 90% of my friends, I'd say the same about anime watchers ;) I've heard that excuse before, but even so, I can't wrap my head around it. Sure, you get to look at virtual boobies (which would be a strange goal to begin with), but that doesn't take away from the fact...

A couple of weeks ago, we posted that GIGABYTE's hicookie became the first overclocker to hit 7GHz on Intel's current-gen Ivy Bridge processors, and in effect broke the previous world record. Since then, we've been informed that this wasn't correct. Instead, both ASUS and MSI both hit 7GHz...

I'm the same way. It's the reason I don't play female characters in MMOs... Not that I have a raging six pack and arms stronger than iron, but not all games give you such fine-tuned character control ;-)

Are you sure this is still the case? I know it used to be back in the day of 98 and possibly XP, but I thought this was an issue that disappeared with Vista and beyond. If it does remain the case, then Aero would also remain in memory, and that'd likely use much more space than a desktop full of...
