From our front-page news:Alright, so I'm sure that a very few number of our readers run to Office Depot anytime they need a new notebook, but chances are good that we all know someone who does. After all, their prices seem so tempting in the flyers, but those prices are sure to change once the...

From our front-page news:Apple today announced a brand-new iPod shuffle model that they claim is the world's smallest, and unless anyone else disagrees, I think it might be true. The new form-factor is half of the size of the previous shuffle, and at 1.8" tall and 0.3" thin, it's smaller than a...

From our front-page news: We all know that SSDs are fast, that much is no secret, but just how fast are 24 strapped together in a RAID configuration? Well, freaking fast, of course. Some Samsung employees decided to find out first-hand what benefits such a configuration would entail, so they...

From our front-page news:ASUS announced yesterday that their all-in-one "Eee Top" PCs are now available, and you can order one from a multitude of e-tailers for $600. I'm not quite sure what to think of the Eee Top yet, but we have one here and I'll be posting an article for it within the next...

Hah. Given the price, I don't think it would have mattered too much, but it's a lot nicer to get your money's worth, that's for sure. Still quite impressed that Intel did this though... and kind of surprised that it took a while for people to even realize it.

Welcome to the forums, both of you :-) I agree with Bosch... a sub would be a great addition for drums, but with that music selection, it might not matter too much. I'm also not sure what I can recommend, but I'll see if I can get our resident audiophile in here to recommend something.

From our front-page news: It's no secret that the economy is in rough shape right now, and it's because of that, that many are looking for ways to save their hard-earned cash, or at least not splurge. If you happen to need a computer upgrade though, or want to build a new machine, AMD has teamed...

Newegg passed along this gem, so I'll just relay the press release: CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA, February xx, 2009 – Newegg.com Inc., the second-largest online-only retailer in the U.S., today announced a major March promotion to benefit customers and new visitors. In the company’s “TV-a-Day Extreme...

Chances are, that shop used Gigabyte boards in the past and had them fail (or come back as returns due to failure), which is the reason they are staying away now. That doesn't mean the boards are bad though, and it could be that the shop just ran into a string of bad luck, and decided to ignore...

Honestly, I don't remember that well, but I don't recall it lighting up. I might be thinking back to when I used it through Linux though (which I did far more than in Windows). If the light continues glowing after you leave the game, maybe the game is still lingering in the background, and is...

That's a great deal! The reason I go with a slightly higher plan is in case I end up using the phone quite a bit. I did find out a way to cut $15 out of the bill though, so I'm going to do that. I added a $15 package to make text messaging free, but didn't realize that it doesn't include text...

Oh, alright. That's an all-out crash then. I can't recall off-hand if I've had that issue or not. Kind of strange, since I've always used HL2-based games for benchmarking. Unless it's just TF2 for some reason? L4D also uses the HL2 engine, and I've never had it crash like that. I have never...

From our front-page news:Remember that ultra-cool all-in-one Eee Keyboard from ASUS that we saw at CES earlier this year? Well it turns out that the company is aiming to release it sometime during Q2, most likely in June. That improves upon the Q3 projected date that we were told in January, so...

From our front-page news:If there's one bill I begrudgingly pay each month, it's the cell phone bill. The telecom companies boast about their great value on TV commercials, magazine ads and billboards, but I think most of us can see through the bull... cell phone plans are complete and utter...

Sorry about that... I meant to. I was in such a mad rush to just get the article prepared for posting, that I forgot to highlight them during the creation of the graphs.

Hmm, that's interesting. I'm not sure if it matters in the grand scheme, but perhaps the latest drivers notice when a game is "designed" for use with the Xbox 360, and if so, the light turns on. I haven't used the controller on the PC for quite a while, but from what I recall, I never had the...

That issue is beyond frustrating, but it's far from being new (I've had the issue with XP, if not even earlier). If you believe it's Windows Search that causing the issue, just go into the task manager and kill the process, or go into the Services application (services.msc) and manually stop it...

Well, just realize that this hassle isn't completely typical. Normally, distros should pick up your exact graphics card model and adjust the resolution appropriately to your screen, especially distros like Sabayon. As for coding an application, I'm not sure the purpose for that. Why would you...

I can just picture your house... flames must me everywhere ;-) I was thinking the same thing. It's expensive, but it actually scales with pricing for 256GB models, so it's not all bad. It might carry some sort of premium, but it's far from being an ordinary SSD.

You run Vista 32-bit? You must be on your mother's computer, right? Right?! I'm curious about this shutdown hang issue though. I don't recall having had the issue with Half-Life 2-based games, but I have it with Steam itself all the time. I'll go ahead and shut down Steam (and normally restart...
