Customization is the great thing. Instead of paying $350 for a netbook with an 8GB flash drive or an 80GB hard disk, you could instead throw in a 2GB RAM module and a 160GB 2.5" hard drive for $85. Doing that would push the price to $355... and it would offer more RAM and MUCH more hard drive...

Haha! I agree, I kind of run into the same mentality with debit/credit often. You got that right! When it comes to that, I tend to spend more than I ever need to, and get more food than I ever need to. I guess that explains why I have a gut.

From our front-page news: When Intel launched their Core i7 processors last fall, we, like the rest of the editorial press, we were blown away. Hit with the right workload, the Nehalem architecture blew past not only the competition, but Intel's own Yorkfield as well. As we'd expect, things...

No idea. It's all speculation right now I believe. Either way, I don't expect them to blow our pants off right off the get go. No company can kick things off that smoothly.

At CES earlier this year, Gigabyte showed off two new motherboards that promised both a great value and of course, good overclocking abilities. The EX58-UD4P was one of those, and we've now been able to put it to the test. We're happy to report that as we had hoped, the board delivers on all...

From our front-page news: When ASUS first released the Eee PC 700 in the fall of 2007, no one could have predicted what was to come. It took no time at all before the PC took off and sold staggeringly well, and of course, we don't have to get into all the competition that resulted. While...

From our front-page news: "Those were the good ole days". How many times have you heard that? Personally, I've caught myself saying that many times in the past, but it's a feeling we can all relate to. We all have fond memories of the past, and technology tends to be part of that. If you've been...

Heh, I checked out Newegg again to see if prices have changed at all since I posted prices above, but nope. Granted, it's been only a month, but still. As for 50GB discs, they exist but they are pretty-much quadruple the price of the 25GB ones. That's more than many Blu-ray movies!

That's the humorous thing. These drives keep getting larger, but we keep filling them up. I'm in the same situation. I have a total of 2.25 TB in this machine and 1 TB in the NAS, and I feel like I need more space. I tend to back up a lot of Techgage-related data though, that weighs into the 1...

Are you the type of person who can't help but spend money all the time? Don't worry, so am I. As odd as it may seem, one great way to save money might be to carry only $100 bills on you. It may seem counter-intuitive, but picture a scenario where an item costs $20. Do you really want to break a...

Alright, so they're not here, as in our website, but hopefully that will change in the future. For those unaware, Captchas are those boxes that show scrambled text that you must replicate in order to access a certain feature of a website, whether it be our forums' search feature or the sign-up...

For those interested in real-world examples, NVIDIA has a YouTube page going: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=APEX+GDC2009&aq=f

I'm a bit late on relaying the information here, but according to Fudzilla, Globalfoundries will be prepared later this year to begin taking its first 32nm orders. They'll still be behind Intel by a fair margin in terms of product to market (Intel's 32nm Westmere will be commercially available...

I swore I linked to this already, but I can't find it, so I'll go ahead and post anyway. There's a fairly interesting look at how Sennheiser's latest HD 800 headphones are made at Crave UK. These cans retail for £1,000 and represent the company's keen attention to detail. I'm not totally fond of...

From our front-page news: In talking to Western Digital in the past year or two - even as recent as CES - we could tell their vibe towards solid-state storage was rather "meh". But, given the obvious potential (and reality) of the technology, we knew it would be only a matter of time before they...

From what I understand, there were a few different test subjects, each receiving a different sum of case (I think it was $700 - $1500), so I'd expect to see follow-up TV spots like this one. I agree, I also think it's a good campaign, but there's always more than one side to the story. PCs cost...

I meant to respond to this before, but forgot. Truth is, I have so much to say about this, that it'd exceed the word count allowed in a post, so I don't really want to talk about it now. I'd like to get an interview with these guys though, because I have a whack of questions I'd like to ask...

Given all of the bad press the browser has been receiving, I'm curious what it is you like most about it?

I agree that a company shouldn't be written off for one screw-up, but in some regards, I do agree. The FreeAgent issue wasn't small, and it caused a LOT of people grief. Just take a look at the related thread here... people are still posting in there with their problems. The worst of it is that...

I thought about this more, and I have to wonder about the products that are snake oil, but the users of said products themselves are convinced they work. What will happen there? These advertisers might STILL get away with misleading claims, simply because the users themselves are brainwashed or...
