I couldn't agree more. This is a disgusting practice and there should be laws for it. Since there is no law, it essentially gives free reign to companies to take your data without your permission, and then make money off of it. Ugh.

I admit... the lackluster battery-life wouldn't bother me too much, as long as the rest of the mouse was up to par. It's nothing to just pop the mouse on the charger before bed, so I don't see that as a huge issue. Plus, it's a HUGE advantage to be able to go wired if the need arises. The...

You'd think I'd include some, right? But no ;-) It's not in our usual suite, so I couldn't spend a ton of effort to include a game that I'm not used to benchmarking.

AMD's top-end Radeon HD 6970 2GB is one of the best GPU choices on the market right now, and adding to its flavor a bit, Sapphire customized the reference card to produce the <em>Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam</em> edition. In addition to featuring a copy of the game, it comes complete with...

I'll go ahead and raid the "tech closet" and have them for the next time you drop by.

Oh gee, if only you knew someone who probably has a hundred of those lying around. *ponders*

I wish I had some great suggestions, but I'm a bit of an SSD n00biephile since I haven't been keeping up on things. The Agility 2 looks like a great drive, though.

I'm surprise that change made THAT large a difference. Nice work!

AI is not new... this just happens to be a super-advanced version. As soon as it can calculate the answer, it hits the buzzer... it doesn't seem that difficult ;-) Finding the answer wouldn't be instant, because it needs to calculate its complex algorithms first in order to make sure that the...

Since we're on these shores, I'm not quite sure if we're supposed to spell it as it is in Scotland. That might be like use adding "our" to words like color if we're writing about a new color discovered in England! It's an interesting factoid though, I had no idea of the different spellings :D

It's widely agreed upon that a nicely aged bottle of wine tends to taste a lot better than one bottled within the previous year, but what about other alcohols, such as whiskey? Thanks to an amazing discovery that occurred last year, we should soon know the answer to that question. Read...

Are you an avid gamer looking for a feature-rich and reliable gaming mouse that also happens to be wireless? Logitech's G700 might be worth a look. At around $85, it's not cheap, but it does offer a plethora of customizable buttons, the ability to go wired if the battery dies, and also supports...

I like this idea quite a b it. The "game" looks attractive and it's all for a good cause. From what I understand, it's also challenging as hell, so that's another plus. I might have to give this one a go soon.

I'd like to see the same thing. I'm still not sure why Intel put such bizarre limitations into place; it seems odd to have to use an H67 board when most people will want to run P67.

You've stumped me on this one... I've never even heard of HURD/Mach. It sounds interesting, though. What's its goal? To become a scaled-down kernel for mobile phones, or something else?

A quad-core at around 3.0GHz should never be a bottleneck for gaming... I just can't see it. That said, I've never done specific tests, but in my experience, a decent CPU is rarely the bottleneck for gaming, unless there happens to be a lot of CPU-driven physics. Even then, I can't see it being...

This phone intrigues me quite a bit. It looks good on its own, but paired up with a simple dock, it becomes a scaled-down PC. It has the potential to become the business traveler's dream.

That can be true, and it's always a good bet to purchase RAM with great timings and a modest latency because it just means that the potential for overclocking might be huge. 4GB modules are a different beast though, and I'm not sure we can take our knowledge of overclocking 2GB modules over...

Bah, I wish I had seen this earlier. I don't think I had tried to use audio higher than 24/96 to be honest, and I'm not even sure I have content like that lingering around to test it out. You're going to love it, I assure you of that. You might want to consider the ST version of the card if...

It's just been laziness... to upgrade to SSDs just requires me to take a break and image things over. Hard to feel inspired to do that. I need to soon, though. Considering an SSD for both Windows and Linux or one SSD for both... not sure the best route there. I want to keep SATA ports free if...
