    Is the iPad 2 Better than the New iPad?

    The article is a waist of time. Running down Apple, isn't that sort of a lame attempt of a tech savvy Rush Limbaugh? Aka, sensationalist journalism and that is being really generous with praise. ANY stock analyst that is interviewed on ANY finance channel or segment is all about, "you do own...

    The technological public functionary will make it harder for you

    There is nothing that I can disagree with. Yet, fire was was/is the traditional means of destroying records. With what you are referring to might be a really good system (aka HD) crash. Earliest that I know of is the destruction of the Library of Alexandria. another is the destruction of the...

    Is the iPad 2 Better than the New iPad?

    I am not a fan of watching movies on such small screens. But I think it would be great for a few normal people to report side by side experiences of iPad 2 & iPad 3. Check this out from the logmein.com website. I have a Bluetooth keyboard on order to try out logmein access to the CAD front...

    Whats good in Email and FTP server software these days?

    I thought that I had responded to this ... maybe forgot to hit the "Submit ..." button. I use the least expensive version of Serv-U from RhinoSoft. I think it is a little expensive, but being the IT manager is not really my deal so I am ok with a little more $$ for a less of my direct...

    Dr. Phil

    I as one who has refused participation in WoW do have friends completely invested, and tell me that there are those who have bots that play for them as well as buying up the privileges (or whatever) that people have acquired. As I understand it, you can get real money which opens the potential...

    TaxMasters files for bankruptcy

    For those that file with the IRS, it is not really that big of a deal to actually work directly with the IRS. I, self employed, nearly had my own coffee cup & a 1st name basis with them. For a while I think they almost recognized my voice when I called .... glad those days are over. :o I...

    Almost missed a flight because...

    I went thru a similar experience recently but didn't have to worry about customs. The hotel reservation had fallen out of the Windows phone cache as well as the rental car ... I couldn't remember what car I rented or what hotel I needed to get to. Ugh

    iPad 3

    Ha! I thought about just throwing a few words just to say that I started the thread. But no, I don't have that kind of self control! :p I think that the "3" will be a significant mark on the wall of technical achievement. Personally I am primarily interested in the quad resolution display...

    iWatchz!

    marfig ... I do like that watch. I have always been into gadgets but when I started understanding how some are made & marketing (cost v demand & supply), I slowed my purchasing. I do have an inexpensive Rolex Oyster Datejust I've had for a few years, but it is too expensive to wear for a...

    iWatchz!

    I feel like I have living under a rock. Why is it that I did not know that the iPod nano is so small?!? Look at this! A long time ago (25+ years?) I had a watch made by Texas Instrument, of all people. It had moving hands with a second hand, timers, etc all displayed on its liquid crystal...

    Apple Wins 'Slide to Unlock' Patent Victory

    So I guess my ColorNook will soon be getting a new update There is no way that I can believe that some developer (such as for the Nook) did not actually get the idea from an Apple device. Personally, I think people that put their employers should be held liable ... as well as their management...

    Car question!

    Is the new intake close to the ground? You mention 2 1/2 feet so I'm guessing that is the height of the intake. If so, then no ... do not bother with the bypass valve (I have never heard of anything like this actually). FWIW I have a Subaru modified beyond comprehension. The cold air intake...

    CM Storm QuickFire Rapid Gaming Keyboard Review

    I liked the review but didn't give the numpad a thought ... that's a deal killer me also. A lot of graphic software use keys on the numpad for predefined views. I might be able to adopt but not worth a $80 gamble.

    Why FPS fails

    LOL you guys have me thinking and re-reading your posts. This is almost like a foreign language to me and it shouldn't be. :o Definitely an area that I have not paid any attention to.:(

    Why FPS fails

    thanks Rain, so is micro-stuttering such a bad thing? I suppose it depends how often the frame slips occur. About the triple monitors you state that multiple GPUs is a requirement? I am guessing that this is hidden indirectly in some multi-GPU benchmarks ... but really? But a card with 3 DVI...

    Why FPS fails

    I copied that subject line from this article. The real topic is micro-stuttering. To be honest, I have never heard of this before and it wouldn't impact my typical activity with PCs, and I only drilled into this because I don't want to deal with spending a lot of $$ to get to Santa Clara (a...

    Microsoft vs. Google: Which Won the Search Game in 2011?

    On my W7 Samsung phone I use Bing exclusively. It really listens to me. Well sort of, more like talking to a teenager.:rolleyes: On the computers I switch around between Google (default), Bing, Dogpile, & Ask. Sometimes I think I just like Dogpile because of the name.

    next build around X79 + FT02B + 540mm RAD

    I am trying to get out of my Lian Li mindset. Checking out Silverstone's web site is pretty interesting. There is a lot of detail plus manuals with greater detail. I am even warming up to the notion of the positive pressure in the case with the 180 mm fans pushing air in ... thru the...
