    Video: Apple iPhone 4S Animated Teardown

    This is the Design News link. I have missed a few tear downs of other products. I just decided to click on this one this today. I think the animation is done nicely & very inciteful into what is inside the 4S:eek:

    VS show

    So my wife just comes into the office & says that I'm missing her girls! "Hmmm!!" I think. I respond with, "I love your girls!!" (girls being code for boobs) She turns on the Victoria Secret underwear show ... ;) Of course a girl was just interviewed who is 19. Now I feel like a...

    Gigabyte Introduces Tablet-Laptop-Desktop Hybrid PC

    link to the full story I think I get the idea for the possible market for this product, but I'm doubtful. Of course, I still don't like the all in one printer/fax/scanner ... 1 thing breaks & the rest becomes useless.

    Tesla M2090

    I have a Tesla C2070 for double precision number crunching. Paid a ~$2200 for it from a legit company and it is at least 5X faster than the i7-990X OC-ed at 4.5GHz.:eek: Nice. I am happy. :) But in my what used to be rare to never ventures on eBay I am starting to see these new Tesla M2090s...

    ReadyBoost?

    Is this a technology introduced with Vista & still available in Windows 7 that could benefit from high speed USB 3.0 flash drives? Take this Mushkin with r/w of 120/70 MB/s in a USB 3 port, for instance. I didn't spend a lot of time looking. Just on 'egg & browsing USB flash drive thumbnails...

    fav game ~ 15 years ago ...

    I am trying to remember what game this is. I'll try to describe it the best I can. The setting is a castle with 2 towers. A unique feature of the game is that weapons caches would appear and could be exploded with the careful shot & killing anyone nearby. What I pictue is being at the top of a...

    KVM switches ... HDMI?

    Keyboard video mouse switches for sharing your resources amongst multiple computers. For anyone using multiple computers these things save a lot of screwing around in time and money. Now that I have an inexpensive source of HDMI cables, I want to upgrade the 10 y/o KVM box to using HDMI. I find...

    LED desk lamps

    I don't really consider myself green as in I rarely go out of my way to be green or reducing my carbon footprint ... per se. I am all about saving a nickel tho and if green occurs, then I will comment about it but not proselytize the instance as being green. In this case I am interested in...

    hot deal from newegg

    There hasn't too much of this sort of re-promotion, if any, on this web site, but Newegg sent this deal to me this AM. This is my preferred PSU over all others ... meaning that none of the 4 I own have yet failed me and a couple are ~2 yrs old in 24x7 service. SeaSonic X750 Gold 750W ATX12V...

    Barnes & Noble Color Nook

    I bought one on Monday. The first time in decades that I have made a "major" purchase without sleeping on it for a week. Well, it is only $250 US. The quick review... it is something of a crossover between notebooks, netbooks, and smart (Windows) phones. It is fundamentally an ebook reader so...

    WD Acronis True Image WD Edition Software

    I have a new WD drive coming in for a new build that is basically a clone of an older system with almost identical h/w. The older system is an i7-920 e/w 12 GB RAM; the new system is an i7-990X e/w 24 GB RAM ... the mother boards are the same, ASUS P6X58D Premium. The new box needs to have...

    GPGPUs?

    Is anyone here into this in someway? I have gotten interested in Nvidia's Tesla C2070 of late. But there is a strong suggestion that 2 or 3 GTX 580s could be faster. There is a German company Gainward that has announced a 3GB version. So a pair of those linked via SLi? equals 6 GB? How do...

    new build 2.0

    The last new build thread I started here led me (kudos to Rob for recommendation at the time) to a WC OC-ed i7-920. And, it is still smokin' hot at ~4.4 GHz. I have had interest in anudder system for several months. I have been very busy with work (self employed & thus reason why I can even...

    removing alureon.a

    I have not seen much here about virus issues. I believe that most of us "regulars" are smart enough to have an adequate prophylactic in place and just avoid *those* kind of web sites. However, since no man is an island, aka I do have female friends that have considerable inertia in their...

    Toshiba Satellite L675

    This notebook is new for me for a couple of weeks. There are a few reviews & nothing spectacular about it other than it is a current product & priced pretty well. It has Windows 7 Home 64 bit, e/w 4 GB RAM, DVD reader, a 500GB HD (I think), and a 17 inch display which puts it into the huge...

    Samsung Focus

    I have it. There have been 100s of review about it so I am hesitant to repeat the same. I bought it at amazon/wireless for $50 (plus 2 yr renewal) as I missed the $0.01 deal the weekend before but was told that was only for new customers. Not sure that is true, but it doesn't really matter...
