    SteelSeries wants you to pick its Portal 2 mousepad design

    Aye. But you don't have to. Just follow the steps and in the end it asks you for email. That's all.

    The Steve We've Lost: A Quick Look at His Accomplishments

    That makes a bit more sense, won't you agree? And it's a far cry from the fairy tale story above. Don't mind me. I prefer fidelity to fantasy. And it's a good way to help stop the spreading of false rumors. I'd rather prefer we honor those we have some manner of respect for, by being faithful...

    The Steve We've Lost: A Quick Look at His Accomplishments

    I think that story makes no sense and needs reliable sources. $1,300 is also, strangely enough, the exact same amount Steve Jobs and Wozniac raised by selling a van and a scientific calculator to start their company (source: The Apple Museum).

    Microsoft Expands Xbox 360 Entertainment Content with 40 New Providers

    Figures we'd be getting Vodafone in Portugal. A 24 hour commercials platform. I'm all excited.

    SteelSeries wants you to pick its Portal 2 mousepad design

    Indeed. Chose the Syberia speakers, sensei mouse and 7G keyboard. No high hopes or anything. But did my part. Love this company (SteelSeries) to bits.

    Seeded 1,000 copies of Ubuntu 11.04

    Close to 2 terabytes of linux uploading. I hope you don't bring that to your next corporate meeting. :p

    The loss of a Visionary: Steve Jobs Passes

    He's author or co-author in over 300 patents. He pretty much defined the road for personal computers GUI with the Macintosh. In the late 80s he was already building a system developed on Object Oriented principles, long before C++ became a mainstream language. He completely changed the panorama...

    De-RAGE Yourself With These Graphics Tweaks

    But of course. Makes sense. It's a well known fact that QA teams everywhere test games on very special drivers just for their own that in no way reflect the real world computer setups of normal gamers. That's why they didn't spot these errors and it's all NVidia and AMD fault. "It's done...

    The loss of a Visionary: Steve Jobs Passes

    I'm still trying to cope with this news. I choked, I'm shocked and I don't feel well. It just doesn't seem real that the world lost Steve Jobs. I hate that disease! God, how I hate it! I didn't like Jobs, as one expects to like or dislike a person from their demeanor, actions and words. From...

    Amazon Launches Four New Kindle Devices

    I tend to miss you, Kougar. You need to increase the frequency of your visits. I don't want to her about any excuses :p ... The one move I honestly didn't get from Amazon is the non availability in Europe at launch. And no immediate plans for availability. They are so hung up on their cloud...

    Microsoft Discusses Reasons for Dropping Start Menu in Windows 8

    Wow! Admittedly I've not been paying enough attention to Windows 8 development. But this fell like a bombshell on me. It may be true that once we get to see it in action, maybe it will be different. But no Start Menu for me (when all my workflow has been dependent on it for years) will almost...

    Won Another Motherboard!

    Hmm... this is uncanny. Someone just called my attention: Somehow in my head I confused the 2.0 specification with the 3.0. I was thinking the latter, but still writing about the former. Sorry for that Eunoia. I had to dig out the information for the reason behind that label: So here it is...

    NVIDIA Releases Battlefield 3 Graphics Guide

    This makes more sense to me, no doubt. And it's a world away from "Ultra is disabled" you hear everywhere. Thanks for going deeper into it, Crimson. You rock.

    Won Another Motherboard!

    Congratulations Eunoia. Amazing. Gosh, I keep trying. I keep, I swear. One day I will win something off a contest, for pete's sake! Nah. That's correct. It's the PCI-E 2.0 specification they are alluding to. The current specification, so you know :) It's available here. Ignore the 2.1...

    NVIDIA Releases Battlefield 3 Graphics Guide

    I don't mean to say this isn't true. But every single time I hear this being said, a credible source is never cited. Every time. I'm still struggling to find the actual official words on this. All I can read on Google instead is someone repeating what they read somewhere else. Ad nausea. Isn't...

    NVIDIA Releases Battlefield 3 Graphics Guide

    Hmm... don't be so sure. You'll hear me complaining about AMD lack of proper marketing strategy all the time. Just did recently on these forums in fact when we discussed a couple of months ago how the Steam Survey pounds on AMD market share. And this BF 3 take over by Nvidia is just another...

    Networking

    Hi. Yup. Both are independent lan ports that you can use for: - Two different and independent networks (your case) - To serve as a redundant backup (if one port fails, you can use the other) - To bridge two distinct networks in your computer (serving computers in one network to services in the...

    NVIDIA Releases Battlefield 3 Graphics Guide

    So I read the guide. Nicely done in showing us the snapshots at different settings and showing a graphic with tested GPUs. But was a little put off about a few things: 1. No mention of CPU performance. Which is more or less understandable because this is Nvidia doing it. But does remove some...
