You make a great point. This article is still taking a look at people who used to spend hundreds of dollars on food each month, and managed to scale it down to $60 for two people, even managing to feed guests they've had over for dinner. It's still an impressive feat in my book.

If I have time in the near-future, I'll give it a go on my notebook that has that same graphics chip... should be interesting. Welcome to the forums, by the way :-)

My bad. I saw the author right above the story, so I figured it was him. Well, it's just one disgruntled user anyway... who happens to use freaking earbuds for lossless music. I wouldn't hold to much credence to what he says, to be honest. If you truly care about audio quality enough to use...

With food so freaking expensive nowadays, could you imagine taking care with how you eat to whittle down your multi-hundred dollar supermarket bill, down to something like $1 per day, per person? Sounds impossible, but an article just posted at Time shows that is is, as long as you aren't really...

For me, it all comes down to both openness and quality. iTunes offers nothing more than 256Kbit/s for their songs, and while that's sufficient for most people, I prefer to have all my music in a lossless format, and I certainly don't plan to pay the same price for a lossy digital version when I...

Nice tip! I'm sure this will be of use to someone. I wonder if the same trick works with other games that don't run well on Intel GPUs?

Woo hoo, we'll do our best to live up to the expectation that a permanent bookmark holds :D Once you get your system built, let us know how it made out. As odd as it is, I've never personally built an i7 machine with 12GB of RAM, so I'm interested in seeing if you're going to be able to run...

From our front-page news: Living in Canada, I tend to know what it's like to pay more for something than it's worth. Comparing what things cost in the US and then doing a simple currency conversion will prove just how much more we overpay for things. But, I'll be the first to admit that...

I doubt it can be argued that six or even two bundled applications could be considered short of ridiculous. I've installed a lot of free applications in my day, and usually some of them include one or two referral-type ads, like Google Desktop, but certainly not six. The reason this bugs me so...

I agree on both points. "RockMelt" just doesn't grab me as a software name at all. "Firefox" doesn't sound like the name of a web-browser, either, but at least it rolls right off the tongue.

In that sense, it is quite like an ISO. VLC can do the same with a DVD ISO. It loads right up as if you have the DVD in the ROM drive. That's not something I'd be totally against. I'm not attached to having 10,000 files in my music folder. Still, this would have to be available as a lossless...

I haven't a clue why I didn't mention that, since I have to do it quite often. Every-single piece of software I use is completely legal (and I have the boxes/receipts to prove it), but that doesn't stop me from finding the convenience of software cracks a better solution than draconian...

Hah, that made me LOL. That's just it. Apple is allowed to do special things because they don't expect people to poke around inside the computer, but for enthusiasts, it'd be totally different. To be honest, I have absolutely no idea why companies like ASUS and Gigabyte aren't creating an...

The legal battle has been absurd, so I'm not quite sure what's going to happen. I'm just worried that the game is going to be pushed out in a half-unfinished state and go nowhere. I wouldn't complain too much, being somewhat of a Duke fanboi, but I don't think gamers are going to want to pay $50...

Hi Unregistered: More often than not, if you purchase a high-clocked memory kit, you should have little issue down-clocking it. This used to be somewhat of a problem a few years ago, especially with DDR1, but I haven't personally experienced that issue with DDR3. I personally run a Corsair 6GB...

From our front-page news: Every so often, up pops a "top ten" article that takes a look at the biggest mistakes made in the tech industry, and too often, most include the exact same ten. A recent article posted at PC World, though, brings forth some major mistakes that I forgot all about, or...

From our front-page news: Is this much of a surprise? Given that Apple's iPods continue to dominate the market, iTunes' success was bound to follow - and it has. According to recent reports by the NPD group, iTunes sales accounted for a staggering 25% of the entire overall music market in the...

Thanks for the input guys. We'll keep this in mind for our future networking articles. We definitely shouldn't have overlooked such an important feature.

From our front-page news: When the Internet first launched, Netscape was there. In fact, believe it or not, Netscape Navigator existed before Microsoft's own Internet Explorer. Thanks to that, Netscape enjoyed an incredible market share up until Microsoft's browser, and for the most part, they...

From our front-page news: 1999 was a great year for multiple reasons, but the main reason it might linger in some gamer's minds is because right before we entered Y2K, id Software released its highly-anticipated Quake III. Surprisingly, both the Windows and Linux versions became available at...
