    Perfect example of what not to post on Facebook

    Ok, THIS is what I love about catching up on the news late...the comments on that story are truly hilarious, far more than the story itself (which certainly has its own laugh value). "n00b PROTip to TC: Don't take your morning shit on the internet." ;)

    Seth Rogaine

    C'mon, Rob, work what nature gave you. A very close buzz or bald might be just the answer for you, unless you have a weirdly-shaped melon of a head underneath. I can honestly say that if my hairline reaches a certain point, the clippers will come out the next day. There's something...

    Verizon to Soon Offer 300Mbit/s Internet Service

    Wow. Those prices make me sad. I'm paying $70/mo for 15/3 thanks to my local cable bandits. :(

    Max Payne 3 Review

    An interesting catch, Relayer...and quite accurate. I will say that your point of being a hobbyist might be WHY you wouldn't let that happen - a professional has to get a "good" job done in a short time, where a hobbyist can do a GREAT job because they don't have a time limit and it's something...

    Verizon to Soon Offer 300Mbit/s Internet Service

    And, as per usual throughout most of the US, this won't exist in anyone's neighborhood that doesn't live in downtown major metro :( Verizon's FiOS has been woefully underdeveloped and I'm actually wondering if they can now promise these speeds because they've improved the backbone, or because...

    raspberry pi anyone?

    I hate ALSA.... :( But not nearly as much as I hate pulse-audio. It's a shame that the distro is having such a problem from the get-go - but I'm really quite surprised that they chose to put out a 'full' distro like Debian to begin with. I mean, I suppose that it's designed to showcase the...

    ASUS smears GIGABYTE?

    *sigh* :( It looks to be one ridiculously overenthusiastic dipshit, at least - but then again, it could also be made to LOOK like just one overenthusiastic dipshit. I hate these types of battles.

    The Elder Scrolls Online Revealed

    Soooooooooooooo true. I fully plan to ignore this with every fibre of my being. If I'm lucky, we'll get to TES6 without a whimper about it.

    I have GOT to check this out when I get some free time again. Thanks for this one, Rob!

    Running Sega Dreamcast Games on Your PC with nullDC

    I love the look of a good, crisp CRT. It's a shame that such technology has long since been made obsolete by the space saving and energy efficiency of LCD. Let's be honest - nothing has better contrast, nothing has better resolution capability. CRT is a beautiful thing - except that it's...

    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 Review

    I can't stress enough how hard that review was to write. I wanted to be like, "Yeah, this shit's cool!" And then the more I thought about it, the more I was like, "Wow, this shit's...ummm, alright, I guess...wait, why would a professional need this?" The market-creep in this product is...

    Next-Gen Xbox Rumored to Include Blu-ray and Dual AMD GPUs

    @Article: Rob, I think we have one other good reason to believe 6-core will be the choice: AMD already makes a good 6-core chip. going to 4 cores plus HyperThreading on this kind of system would actually be a bit of a performance hit given Kinect will require a dedicated thread at all...

    NVIDIA Casts Doubt on Intel's 'Knights Corner' Processors

    Interesting.... you make a wonderful point with the cache sharing, in particular. Indeed, NV is far more adept at this point in handling the L1/L2 sharing across so many pipes, so it will be interesting to see how Intel handles this level of concurrent access. However, the pissing match...

    Consumer Reports Updates Tablet Charts; Places New iPad at the Top

    I'm still not sure the heat thing is such a big deal to begin with. I and every other iPad owner I know use them in a sleeve of some sort, and so never really feel it to begin with. Though maybe the new one is hot enough to feel even through that? Granted, I don't have a 3rd-gen yet and...

    Is the iPad 2 Better than the New iPad?

    <3 And this is why I love you, Greg. ;) @ Rob: Who needed 1080p before TVs came out with it? Someone started with "we just want to do more." So though the iPad's display is a bit ridiculous, the idea that it was never asked for or solving a problem that didn't exist is a bit unfair -...

    Is the iPad 2 Better than the New iPad?

    lol marfig, none of this was really meant about your go with macman...I'll just put that out there. ;-) More the anti-Apple vitriol that has gripped the media as of late. I'll respond to the on-topic points of your post later, though! :-D

    Is the iPad 2 Better than the New iPad?

    Now now, there's some 'advertising' that you just wouldn't pay for even if you could. :D Now, below this is a rant that Rob is not going to want to read. And I'll probably catch hell for...but I have to say it. --begin rant-- Why the HELL does any of this make a bad product, or worse than the...

    Rovio Entertainment Acquires Futuremark Games Studio

    Hahahah...YES! I actually had to really slow down for a second because I thought, "How did Roxio make Angry birds?! What?! At least they finally made up for EZ CD Creator.... Oh, wait...V...Not X..." Still, what a seemingly random acquisition...

    Gamer Builds Functioning Scientific Calculator in Minecraft

    It's frightening because you KNOW someone is working on that exact thought this very minute... Still, really, really cool.
