This is Jamie's doing, not mine! :) I agree though, Mozilla SHOULD consider adding a feature like this to the browser, but I guess given the relatively small gain, the developers don't feel adding what could be 100KB to the end install would be worth it.

In the software world, the word "Boost" is synonymous with the exclamation, "BS!", as nearly every kind of third-party software speed boost turns out to have the unwritten small print of "under certain conditions"... roughly translated as "this is useless". People often try to speed up their...

For about as long as NVIDIA has been touting 3D Vision, it has been promoting a kit that bundles both a monitor and the 3D Vision package together, effectively giving people a one-stop shop for getting into 3D on the PC. The monitor was the 2233RZ, and anyone who has read up on 3D Vision in the...

No idea, but that might be. I didn't even realize there was ANOTHER Star Wars MMO en route. I hope it doesn't flop like the original one did.

Haha, I guess I was right to think of you while writing the post, then ;) Delving deeper, this distro has been around for a while... at least as far back as 2007. I'm surprised it took me this long to catch wind of it, especially with a name like that!

I couldn't agree more on this one. The CPU has eight threads for one thing, so it's almost like an eight-core processor, which means it has a ton of multi-tasking breathing room. When the decision to choose our GPU test machine CPU came to question, I ended up just sticking with the Core i7-975...

Yeah, VM's are the perfect target for so much RAM, but for me personally, I use VM's for personal purposes, like light gaming if I need to, or to test out a Linux distro, or to create graphs, etc. At most, I have two VM's going at a time, so it's those who are developers that seem to truly...

Mechanical drive prices have -nothing- to do with SSD prices. It's the NAND pricing we need to worry about, not the "TB drive prices". It's going to be a LONG while before we reach the 1TB/$100 SSD pricing. It might happen sooner than we all think, but it's still matters of years, not a year or two.

Probably not surprisingly, I'm the stark opposite. When I leave the house, I want nothing to do with the Web. During the day, I feel like I'm tied down to it, so any chance to get completely away from it is a plus in my book :D I agree with you that Apple did the smart thing business-wise. It...

Those are some sweet prizes! And interesting contests to boot.

I don't call liking a bunch of different genres of music weird. It just means you have a wide-range of tastes, and are open to all sorts of music... there's sure nothing wrong with that. Variety is the spice of life, after all :D Saw that video before, it's great! Don't listen to that band...

I heard that about Ronaldinho, but I'm not sure if there's much merit to it at this point. It could be just the media wanting to stir stuff up, as that's not exactly uncommon. Still, it's not out of this world to think that it could happen. I never thought I'd see Beckham or Henry on these...

Haha, that SATA cable tip is great. So simple to pull off, too. I'm not sure if I'll take that route in the future or not. I tend to have an issue where the cables are too tight due to chassis design, so I don't think I'd be able to do something quite like that.

Wow, that must've taken a good while to produce. There's a ton of stuff I haven't even heard of there, including the one eunoia mentioned. I like the mention of Bermuda Triangle, haha.

It's good to hear that you haven't been experiencing the issue still :-) I find it bizarre that the power setting would affect it, though. I had huge lulls with the drive plugged in and never had that happen. Power consumption on this thing isn't even an issue, as it's less than 1W. Given...

Hi Unregistered: Thanks for the nice comments on the article :-) Does the super talent come pre-formatted as FAT32? Yes, unless the drive is above 32GB (sometimes not even then), the drive will be FAT32 for the sake of overall compatibility. Will the security software/hardware...

When choosing which OS to run, or when updating to the latest version of your preferred OS, chances are that you are thinking about the improved security you're about to equip yourself with. Well, at least I hope you do. What you probably don't think about, or stress over, is just how unsecure...

The folks over at DigiTimes have stated what a lot of us have been thinking for a while... graphics card price cuts on current product is inevitable, and should be en route soon. Last week, NVIDIA launched its first truly affordable Fermi-based solution, the GeForce GTX 460 (we'll have our...

Interested in entering a tech contest that for once awards big prizes, rather than a bunch of little ones? Well, it looks like Kingston has exactly what you're looking for, but unfortunately, it benefits only those who live in the United States. What makes this contest interesting isn't the...
