    Amazon Launches Four New Kindle Devices

    That's a bit gratuitous. Not sure what it has to do with anything. And pretty sure it has nothing to do with reality. But "people"... will say anything these days. Well, for some reason it's not selling at $400. But 200 less. Indeed. If Amazon decides to feature your app, you automatically...

    Building PCs for friends pays off!

    Pretty decent of him, and let me tell you your dad sure knows how to pick his friends. People like that are to be nurtured and protected. There aren't as many as they used to be. And congratulations, of course! Hehe. Easy money :p As a side note that's basically how many of the current...

    BF3 early access codes

    I'm still confident the Got To Your Browser to Start the Game thing is optional once the game is released, and that the obligatory in-game settings change is just there because we actually aren't greeted with a title screen on the beta. The game otherwise felt absolutely great. I did have fun...

    Humble Bundle Returns with Frozen Synapse

    I don't have Frozen Synapse yet. It's one of the games that slipped through during a time I was too busy with work to consider it (or anything else for that matter). But to anyone who is wondering what to do with this bundle, let me tell you: Frozen Synapse is a great game. If you were ever a...

    BF3 early access codes

    Well, just finished an hourly session. No server crash, thank goodness. Serious teamkills the whole freakin' time. Felt terribly boring at some point and I almost rage quit after being killed for the 7326th time by a team mate, always less than a minute after deploying. But that's something to...

    BlackBerry PlayBook Seeing Price-Drops at Some Retailers

    I really hope not. For the sake of us consumers, I'd like to see at least two more competing products. That's my only hope for true (meaning, true!) innovation, technological advancements and price reduction on a device that currently simply isn't at the reach of everyone... and yet likes to...

    BF3 early access codes

    Doing the download right now. But from what you say, I seem to believe that could indeed be a beta only feature, meant to more easily gather parametric data. I think the alternative is just unthinkable :p What however got under my skin was the Origin client itself. It believes, just because my...

    BF3 early access codes

    I successfully redeemed the first code to Battlefield 3™ Open Beta (English GB, English US). Thanks Rob. I'll install the game in the next 24 hours. Hope to have fun with you guys in the upcoming days.

    BlackBerry PlayBook Seeing Price-Drops at Some Retailers

    Here it is: http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/25/blackberry-to-run-android-apps-on-future-qnx-devices/ The interesting thing is that BlackBerries will keep running on top of QNX (which is frankly a superb OS, or you wouldn't have it running on jet fighters). BTW, what I do like on this device is...

    BlackBerry PlayBook Seeing Price-Drops at Some Retailers

    I think the BlackBerry is meant to become compatible with Android. Or so I seem to remember reading somewhere. Maybe not yet for this device, or maybe only available on a future patch. But the general idea is for Android apps to run on BlackBerry devices.

    Battlefield 3: PC vs. PlayStation 3

    On that subject, Ars published today an article about the problems consoles are starting to cause to gamers and how they don't represent so much anymore the "plug and play" environment of old. But by far and large, a much more interesting reading is the actual source for that Ars article...

    Wow! Will definitely keep an eye open for that.

    Corsair H100 Self-Contained Liquid CPU Cooler Review

    Yeah. That tells you how much I'm off the loop for thinking 80mm fans are still doable :p And your note brings me to another thought; This whole thing about moving the cooling process to the computer chassis (instead of on top of the processor) greatly contributes to the all-in-one liquid...

    OCZ's Synapse Cache SSD Allows Do-It-Yourself Hybrid SSD

    Oh sweet jesus! Me want! Is there any question really? I mean it may not be the ideal solution for everyone. I for one can understand that a "dedicated" SSD drive may be required on some instances. But personally since I first heard about Intel's SRT (and I was deflowered right here on TG) I...

    Corsair H100 Self-Contained Liquid CPU Cooler Review

    >> does show just how powerful the new design is and how far all-in-one liquid coolers have progressed when compared to previous technology. Absolutely! It's really very difficult to not be excited about this technology. One thing I notice is how thin the radiator actually is, leaving here some...

    Glad it did. I was shooting in the dark to be honest and wasn't sure what went wrong in there. But it doesn't matter anymore :)

    Borderlands still exciting

    Oh crap! Something must have gone bad with your savegame. If you completed Playthrough 1 (P1), Playthrough 2 (P2) should spawn you at the bus station if memory serves me right. Never on Tartarus Station. On the other hand, did you finish Claptrap's New Robot Revolution on P1? Because once you...

    The Batman Equation

    LOL! What's confusing me on that formula (I'm no major in math, so take it easy) is the equality sign. How do you plot something that equals 0? Aren't function graphs built from f(x) = y, or some variation of it? On this case, I believe f(x,y) = z, where z stands for the formula above.

    Could you describe the problem a bit better, CS? I'm not following... You mean stuck as in clip-stuck?

    Borderlands still exciting

    I'm replaying borderlands after a 7 month hiatus. During that time I also lost my savegame files due to a bad backup schema I had in place when I upgraded to my current machine, so I'm also trying to rebuild a bit of its former glory; 5 builds, 4 different classes, all above level 60. I don't...
