From our front-page news: In case you haven't noticed, Apple has been enjoying some incredible growth over the past few years. Whether it's due to OS X's simplicity or Windows Vista's major issues, I'm unsure, but Apple has become more than just a serious contender in the PC market, and it's...

From our front-page news: Last week, I linked to a story that discussed how the Xbox 360 could have been launched to avoid the flurry of Red Ring of Death issues, but wasn't. Problems detected early on were not taken care of, despite employee's who brought the issues up to the management...

From our front-page news: Back in May, I had a minor rant about piracy, and the fact that the worst victims of it are the real consumers. It's us who pay for the game that have to put up with ridiculous protections, not the pirates. The pirates instead download a game, apply a crack, and be done...

Notebooks are more popular than ever, and the vast selection is incredible. There's a notebook for everyone, and in the case of Gateway's T-6836, if you are looking for something in between a netbook and a $1,000 model - you are covered. It carries certain downsides, but still packs enough...

"Bott says iTunes 8 installs not only QuickTime, but also Apple Mobile Device Support, MobileMe, and two driver updates." That's what pisses me off about iTunes... you install one application, and receive four, plus two drivers. The second-worst might be Live Messenger, which also installs a...

Glad the article helped! Enjoy your new rig.

I'm curious... if you have to lug around books as it is, why not just pick up a spare battery to lug alone as well? They are so small nowadays, they could easily fit into a small bag or something.

Hey, I didn't know Tim the Toolman Taylor visited these forums. Welcome!

I agree... massive black holes would definitely be my choice if I had to die in one. I also somehow screwed up the quote in that news post, but fixed it on the main page. Haha, Apple doesn't need a black hole, their egos swallow them whole as it is.

From our front-page news: Microsoft might not have had the most successful product launch with Windows Vista, and for the most part, they really haven't admitted to their mistakes in a straight-forward manner. Maximum PC decided to tackle the facts... what caused Vista to become a 'failure' at...

Hmm, it looks like the Stream SDK has now become available for Vista... so I'm wondering if THAT will fix the ATI card issue? I'll give it a shot later if I'm able to break free from regular duties for a few minutes... http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/09/11/amd-release-stream-sdk

I admit... despite the ultra-high pricetag on this thing, I love it. Way back at CES, I goofed around with it for a few minutes while at the ASUS booth, and I really wanted to take it home. I've come to love small notebooks, and when one looks THIS damn good, it almost makes me want to rip the...

From our front-page news: I doubt it's a secret to a single person reading this that small notebooks are in, and large notebooks are for the workstation crowd, or those who don't have a desktop. The sheer ease of netbooks or light notebooks make them an ideal choice for those on the go often...

From our front-page news: So, you want to know how to survive a fall into a black hole? Well, you're in for a sad reality, because unless you are somehow able to go faster than the speed of light, it's impossible to escape. Impossible as in impossible, not impossible as in "It's impossible to...

From our front-page news: With the recent launch of iTunes 8, a lot of pet peeves people had were taken care of, but C|Net looks at how a few things could be further improved in the next version. One cool new feature in 8 is the Genius List, an over-glorified 'shuffle' so-to-speak, which is a...

Hmm. Normally if you have a copy-protected DVD, it will tell you before it will even do anything, but perhaps you have a DVD with strange copy-protection... it's really hard to say. If you are doing a 1:1 backup, you might want to download DVD Fab Decrypter or some other DVD backup application...

The best place to look for images like that would be on the products website ;-) I do agree... there's a lot in play there, but that kind of battery-life impresses the heck out of me anyway. Luckily, many planes nowadays include a power socket anyway, so if you are smart about booking, you...

You are no doubt correct, but I'm sure all sites who take a look at the chassis will overlook the fact. Even still, if there is enough pressure built up, it might just be even more fun to use. 'Splosions anyone?

Slugbug get's around!

Wow, that sounds like quite a project! You mean REAL LP's, right? I'd make sure they are ripped to a decent quality, although being an LP, there's likely no real need to use a bitrate that's going to hog disk space. If it doesn't matter, might as well go with 320 kbit/s MP3. Storage is almost...
