The cool thing about photography is that there are opportunities anywhere, and this article proves it. Night photography is one of the more difficult shots to take thanks to the lack of lighting, but equipped with a tripod, some incredible pictures await. My favorite here has got to be this...

A new study details how spammers – the bane of our email inboxes – still make pots of money, despite only receiving a response to one in every 12,500,000 emails they spam out. The study, by a team of seven computer scientists from University of California, Berkeley and UC, San Diego (UCSD)...

Core i7 for $200? How do you figure that, exactly? Merlin: I can completely understand where you are coming from. If I was in your shoes, I'd probably be thinking the same thing. I think I'd end up opting for Core i7 though, because even with gaming out of the picture, I do a lot of intensive...

That's definitely a unique situation, I think. It's sad for the board, but I guess it's a lot better that the SB be taken than the hard drive. Of course, given HDD prices nowadays, it's hard to say for sure, haha. It does go to show that even quality PSUs can arrive with faults. If their PSUs...

From our front-page news: Last month, NVIDIA unveiled a special Quadro model, CX, which was designed with Adobe's latest CS4 suite in mind. One that offers the perfect blend of speed and features to give all of what professionals will need while sitting at their desk. Today, the company...

It's true Kougar... Amazon will definitely be the largest beneficiary here, without question, haha. Still, it works to everyone's favor, so it's hard to complain. Haha! You might just want to shop somewhere other than Amazon then.

From our front-page news: Remember when the first dual-slot GPUs came out? I'm not certain, but I believe it could have been the NVIDIA 6800 Ultra. The dual-slot likeness didn't matter too much though, as the card was powerful enough to earn those two spots. That's still the case today, and...

So with all the information in-hand now... anyone have a change of heart? ;-)

I agree... most often those extra purchase options are a huge waste of money. Lifetime warranties in general are a huge waste of cash, since the card you get in place of what you are senidng in is something at current market value. Two years after owning a GPU, you aren't likely going to even...

Anything here would be default. Sadly, as soon as we created this thread, it got abandoned fast. I think we need a lot more forum support before something like this can be kept up. It's hard when there is only a few people participating.

I agree... nice link. That thing would actually be really cool to have as a collector's item.

Can't decide on the right memory kit to pick up with your brand-new Core i7 PC upon release? This article was designed for you. We aren't comparing brands here, but are rather comparing densities and frequencies against each other to see if there's any point at all in purchasing a higher-end...

There's no way that those died due to an airflow issue, especially with those two 80mm fans, like Kougar mentioned. I know the guys who did that video and they take things seriously, so I don't think they'd overlook something so simple. What's amazing to me, is that all six died within two...

From our front-page news: Yesterday, I posted about running Office 2007 under Linux with the help of CrossOver Linux, and to quickly follow-up, I'll say that I've been able to spend a lot more time with it, Excel specifically, and I'm incredibly impressed by its performance and stability. The...

From our front-page news: With Windows 7 en route, everyone has their own opinion on what the new OS will have, and what it probably won't have. Of course it's too early to speculate on much, but Gizmodo decided to have a Photoshop contest that had entrants conjure up some screenshot of...

Thanks for all the insight on the caches Kougar... you've obviously put a lot of time into pondering over it. In the future, I'd like to be able to test server-specific applications like you mentioned, but I think it's a little ways off. I have a difficult enough time getting the work done that...

Well, 1TB drives by themselves cost less than that there, so I'm not sure it's that much of a great deal. Plus, if one of the drives die on you, it's going to be hard to tear open and get them out, and I can't say for sure whether adding in new drives would work without issue. Hard to say. I'm...

From our front-page news: Last week, Codeweavers, a company that aims to see Windows-based software running on both Mac OS X and Linux, decided to give away all their software since gas prices plummeted (or something), and not one to sit on the sidelines, I decided to put my name in for a code...

From our front-page news: Running to pick up a cool new gadget or even something simple, like a PC microphone, can be a fun experience. At least until you realize that you need a machete to tear through the tightly-sealed clamshell packaging. Though I don't have quotes, I do recall at one point...

I used to be an MMORPG geek, so I kept up on things like that ;-) Still have three subscriptions to one MMO that I've been playing since 2001, so I guess I'm still a geek in some regards.
