http://www.theverge.com/2014/6/25/5842454/chromebooks-running-android-apps-in-the-works Seems like pretty big news to make Chrome OS more of a serious OS than a glorified browser platform. Microsoft has made some changes to make Windows cheaper for OEMs like "Windows with Bing" and and...

I've been out of the headphone audio loop for awhile now and I am curious how the classic Gilmore Lite stacks up nowadays. It was considered one of the best "budget" amps back a few years ago when I bought it. I'm sure it still holds its own to the competition. I tried looking up some...

I am looking for a portable wireless speaker system that won't sound completely horrible ;). I don't expect decent bass or anything, just clarity at the very least. I don't need it to run off batteries, but that would be a plus vs having to use a wall wart. I would probably go for the...

I just tried to do a clean Windows 7 re-install on a new Dell Laptop and I am getting an activation error. It is listing a 0xC004E003 error and that "The Software Licensing Service reported that license evaluation failed." There was no COA sticker with key on the bottom of my laptop. I...

I'm getting a Mac for the first time with OS X Lion and I was curious what, if any, security software is recommended. Is it possible malware or keyloggers can install in the background if I accidentally click a malicious website? Are there any HIPS type behavioral monitors I should install?

I just got a new front panel today, and when I first installed the jumpers into the USB headers, I got sloppy and had one of them in reverse. Anyway, now none of my USB ports are functioning properly or recognize anything. This includes the ports in the back, directly part of the motherboard...

This is probably a dumb question, but does AVIVO or Purevideo help with juddering on a 60hz panel? Are there any other solutions that can help with juddering? Thanks.

I'm looking for a mini speaker setup for a system in a pretty cramped spot. I'm considering the Swans S3W since I like their other products so much, but I can barely find any reviews on this particular model. I'm not expecting incredible bass, but is it at least decent in that department for a...

Barely played. Included are all the inserts, manual, key, etc. etc. I included a crappy cellphone pic. I can take a higher resolution photo with a real camera if you're serious, but there really isn't much to see... :confused: SOLD!

I just (tried to) install one of those cheapie ihos-104 bd-rom drives and I keep getting nonstop system freezes almost anytime I actually use it (access a disc / play a movie). I get this same issue dual booting into XP and Vista. However, it seems to work fine when I tested this drive on...

I'm using an old case with AC97 jumpers on the front panel and I was wonder if there was some sort of converter for HD-Audio jumpers.

Pretty good update. It now includes it's highly regarded its anti-spyware engine and link scanner free. These free AVs are pretty impressive nowadays. http://free.grisoft.com/

http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/mobile/display/20080312174741_Atom_Based_Notebooks_to_Be_Priced_at_250_300.html Yes please. Hopefully this will result in more eee-pc-ish ultra light variants. Since most people just use computers for internet and office, plus the industry direction away from...

PowerDVD is a bit buggy with playing Purevideo and it gives me a blank screen when I try to enable Intel's Clearvideo on my laptop. I never liked WinDVD. Is there any other software besides PowerDVD and WinDVD that can take advantage of these hardware deinterlacing technologies? Free software...

This is probably a very dumb question by me, but I always wondered why there aren't DIY components for building your own laptop. Why is desktop different? Is it lack of standards? Perceived lack of interest in the market? Or is it something else?
