    SteelSeries' Sensei Gaming Mouse Packs a Real Punch

    Reading SteelSeries commenting on their own mouse makes me believe the world isn't so lost after all. There's still decency in highly competitive markets. Thanks for the review rob. I wouldn't trade my Logitech Performance MX. But then and again I'm not exactly a gamer :) I gather the huge CPI...

    Folding@home 3850 AGP

    For that card, I think so. A few months ago I was folding with GTX 560 Ti at a 1200 score per WU. But that depends on the project. Each WU would take me roughly 4 hours, IIRC, for a daily total of up to 8k points per day. I suppose your card should indeed put you more or less where you are...

    Bing Beats Out Google in Search Effectiveness

    Google is a lot of things. Web search provider, advertisement company, operating system developer, service provider, systems developer, and now apparently also mobile systems developer. This is Google: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Google_products

    Google to Acquire Motorola Mobility for $12.5 Billion

    I can assure you, over here in Europe such an antitrust case will be a stillborn. Especially because of the reasons Google gave to purchasing Motorola. It's a defensive move. Currently Android is facing a non-stopping barrage that is even starting to seriously affect it's partners too... see...

    Bing Beats Out Google in Search Effectiveness

    Wow x2! Anyways, the study is a bit surprising. I wouldn't think they were so far apart. And I do have my doubts. But it does go to show Google is a victim of its own success and that it is thus a lot more permeable to SEO. That's probably what explains these numbers. How many of us ever wanted...

    Ah, that's better. I like to see the face behind the name... if you know what I mean :p Bottoms up!

    That's fine. But who's Jamie?

    State of education in India...

    No doubt. But the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times were the ones that just recently were saying that China refused to buy European debt (France, IIRC). A lie that toppled the markets for a few days, despite being vehemently denied and... China buying European debt. For sure. The...

    State of education in India...

    And yet... doesn't tell the whole story, limiting itself to a single type of education and making it look like the whole country goes through it. Fact is, we can find similar universities all around the globe in industrialized countries too. I'm always skeptical of sweeping generalizations...

    Scan Computer "Build A Killer PC" (Worldwide ends Aug. 19)

    Thanks Eunoia. I used my gmail account so I won't have to bother with spam. They ask me to follow them on facebook. I don't have an account and facebook doesn't let people see public pages without creating an account. So... yeah. Let them email me if I win something... Suspicious also, the...

    What TKC does when we can't fill a server

    With the added bonus that you can blame someone else, like the guy driving the quad. "What a tool, eh!... Maniac I say!... You alright?" :p Tired of your friends? They always make you the medic? Want a vacation? Co-op has exhausted you? In this simple 3 page manual we teach you how to lob a...

    Pick Me A Mobo!

    Yup. A VM pretty much justifies the 16 GB investment.

    USB 3.0 Could Support 100W Devices In Near-Future

    Brilliant. Well worth the wait to see him turn the PCB.

    Pick Me A Mobo!

    The problem, Rain, is that they'll keep improving on current designs. If you do need 16 GB, you need 16 GB. But if you don't, purchasing them for the sake of skipping future upgrades won't probably do you any good. 25-nm DRAM is apparently on its way, for instance. Meanwhile, improvements in...

    How Long Should a Thumb Drive Last?

    Maybe bad luck, Rob. I have a 2GB Sony, for instance, that I actually just found lying on a park bench 3 years ago. It's still doing its thing.

    Is the PC Era Coming to a Close?

    Funny you mentioned that. I see digital implants happening before PCs disappear. Such is my level of skepticism about the death of this format. As for having a ghost on the net, the closest you can get for now -- if you are into pen & paper RPGs -- is to play Shadowrun. I was an unconditional...

    Is the PC Era Coming to a Close?

    >> Where do you guys see the PC world in the next 5 years? The next 10? Will we all soon be more concerned with overclocking our phones rather than our desktop PCs? Right where it is. A modest growth every year. I expect desktops to eventually disappear or change format. But not in my...
