    Trouble loading webpages and flash

    I second this. But still, what a truly bizarre issue. As I read your post, all of my theories were being thrown out the window :S If you can, I'd recommend downloading a Linux Live CD, like Linux Mint and boot into it, and then see if you can access those websites. If you can, then it's...

    OCZ Technology has just updated its Talos line of Enterprise SSDs. Second-generation Talos 2 drives will utilize a dual-ported SAS 6G configuration. Where the previous Talos drives were stuck in a 3.5" form factor, Talos 2 will be a 2.5"-sized drive yet offer capacities ranging from 100GB up to...

    A couple of years ago I was shopping with my sister, and she caught me checking this chick out. She turned out to be 14 (sister knew her). Felt a little embarrassed.

    As far as I'm aware (and hope), 19 is more than legal. At least, I hope you don't prefer this:

    Kingston Wi-Drive for iDevices Review

    It's no secret that mobile devices tend to lack storage, and this is a problem Kingston has set out to tackle - at least with iDevices. Its Wi-Drive wireless storage device allows you to stream 16GB or 32GB worth of data to your iPhone, iPad and et cetera. We've been using one for the past few...

    Android Dominates Smartphone Market in Q3; iPhone Most Popular Hardware

    That report covers Q3, so no, the 4S would not be included (4S was released at the start of Q4). As for that article you linked, it's epic just for the Monty Python picture alone! But going further, that "shot ahead of Android" conclusion is based on one month only, and as the article goes...

    EA Marks Down Nearly Entire Origin Catalogue for Black Friday

    At $20 it's sure worth the cash, but at $50... no. I'd wait for it to drop down in price for sure.

    EA Marks Down Nearly Entire Origin Catalogue for Black Friday

    I played the game for an hour last night, and so far it's not too bad. The graphics are just okay, despite being based on the Frostbite 2 engine. I think it's a lot better looking than most Need for Speed games as of late, but it still didn't impress me as much as say, F1 2011 or even Test Drive...

    Android Dominates Smartphone Market in Q3; iPhone Most Popular Hardware

    The Nielsen research firm has just released its Q3 smartphone report, and while nothing has dramatically changed since Q2, the stats still prove interesting. As I'm sure most people would expect, Apple has retained the lead as being the largest hardware vendor, securing 28.3% of smartphone...

    NVIDIA Releases Limited Edition 448-core GTX 560 Ti

    Just in time for the holidays, and only for the holidays, NVIDIA and its partners have released a new GTX 560 Ti variant. It's set to fall in between the GTX 560 Ti and GTX 570 performance-wise, although it has more in common with the latter than the former. For example, it shares the clock...

    $500-$600 gaming PC

    I second this. It's a lot more rig than what I posted above. Be easier to tell if he kept the specs in his sig like most people ;-)

    EA Marks Down Nearly Entire Origin Catalogue for Black Friday

    It's no worse than Battlefield: Bad Company 2 going down to $20 permanently two months after release ;-)

    Seagate Releases Second-Gen Momentus XT Hybrid Drive

    It seems like every storage company today wants to jump on the "hybrid" bandwagon, but early last year, Seagate became one of the first to deliver a feasible solution, and it came in the form of the Momentus XT. A mobile drive, the Momentus XT set out to speed up laptops everywhere by including...

    Report: iPad 3 to Have 2048x1536 Resolution Display

    That sounds reasonable. I do know that I like the idea of a super high-res screen, but the price might be the determining factor. I remember the first time I used a notebook equipped with a 17" screen at 1920x1080... it was pure heaven.

    No cash to buy an iPad? Build your own!

    In China, a dude didn't have enough cash to buy his girlfriend an iPad, so he decided to build her the best replacement possible for just over $100: http://my2cents4theday.blogspot.com/2011/11/chinese-man-builds-home-made-ipad.html Now that's cool, and that sort of effort holds a lot more...

    Report: iPad 3 to Have 2048x1536 Resolution Display

    Long before Apple launched its iPad 2, it's been rumored that the company has been working with certain manufacturers to make sure a super high-resolution display finds its way into a future iPad. According to sources close to CNET, such a display will be making its way into the iPad 3, despite...

    Broken Office installs are fun!

    As many of you are aware, Microsoft products and I are not on the best of terms. It's not me, I swear. It's Microsoft. I use Windows the "right way" - that is, I don't do any fancy tweaking or install programs that risk causing issues. I keep both the OS and other Microsoft applications...

    EA Marks Down Nearly Entire Origin Catalogue for Black Friday

    Alright, I am going to pick it up, heh. I have been a big NFS fan since the series' inception, so this is too hard to ignore for $20. I am still backlogged a bit though... still have Shift, Shift 2, Hot Pursuit and Undercover installed and not even touched! I might use The Run as a way to get...
