I would play in offline mode if my net connection was done. But since I mostly play online shooters I would have to find something else to play.

The only four retail games I have bought in the past 2 years is Fear 2, Dawn of War 2, Modern Warfare 2 and Starcraft 2. The only reason I bought the first three was because they are a steam game. If they weren't I would have bought them through Steam. It's no wonder Steam is doing well when...

Those prices are just rumor. I suspect it will be the same price or slighting cheaper than the iPad. Which is reasonable considering it has 2 cameras, phone and flash capability. Not to mention awesome codec support. DivX, XviD, WMV, MP4, MPV and MKV for video plus MP3, MPA, AC3, AAC, WMA...

Buy it outright and don't use the mobile data just stick to Wi-Fi.

You cant hold it to your phone it doesn't have an ear piece. It's through the speaker or a headset.

Windows doesn't allow that unfortunately.

I'm using Paradigm Reference speakers I bought 12 years ago and their still going strong, I love them.

I wouldn't recommend anything with an AMD processor, they just don't very good battery life. I'm running a Gateway EC-18 which is basically an Acer 1410. It's a great device running an Intel Core 2 Solo. The latest models from Acer include a Core 2 Duo and the latest Gateway even fits a optical...

I love the H50, it significantly reduced the temp of Core i7 which was hitting 95 degrees Celsius under load with the stock air cooler and now I'm running under 60.

Yes definitely video card related. If you don't have access to one, just buy one from a retail chain with good return policy so you can return it when your done.

Upgrade your CPU cooler, I recommend the Corsair H50. Make sure you have a good power supply and over-clock your CPU. Then spend the rest of your money on a graphics card. I would stick to ATI they seem to have the best card for the money. Look into getting a 5830, 5850 or 5870 depending on how...

I have added a second access point to get better reception in the back of my home and to actually get reception in my backyard. I can access shared files from the network on either access point. But the second access point does not work with homegroup in Windows 7. All my computers are running...

I don't remember Microsoft trying to appeal to the core gamer with Kinect. Every core game they showed at E3 used a gamepad and played just like the core gamers. Kinect is aimed at the family and non gamers. Not everyones family is rich. So if the family is to only buy 1 gaming system, it...

Brings a whole new level to the phrase "Dine & Dash"

Yeah I have to say I'm pretty impressed 720P YouTube video finally plays well on my 1.3GHz Core 2 Solo ultra portable. http://lettersfromdave.wordpress.com/2010/06/10/adobe-flash-player-10-1-release-candidate-is-now-officially-available/

DRM for PC has nothing on DRM for Android. http://lettersfromdave.wordpress.com/2010/05/26/do-not-buy-anything-from-gameloft/

I'm selling my BFG Geforce GTX 285OC+ on eBay, its starts at $129.99 so far and it has less than 2 days left. Hit the link to check it out. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&itemREMOVED

Whoever says they offer good service hasn't had to deal with them very often. The first time I sent my card in for replacement they were very quick and even sent me an upgrade as a replacement. I was very happy, till I found out how unstable and crappy the card was. I sent it back two...

Haha that's funny. Did you know that Adobe's Air platform exports to other platforms like Android and WebOS which do multitasking since the beginning. Obviously you don't get it, your comments don't make any sense. Making an app in flash and using Air to export that code base into one that...

If I was Adobe I would work extra hard on making Flash work great on every mobile platform besides Apple of course. The second thing I would do is stop development of their Creative Suite for Mac and just make it for Windows.

Apple owes Adobe for getting the Mac where it is today. Without the support of that content creation community it wouldn't be where it is today. Steve's comments are a slap in the face to Adobe and its users. Not having flash is his choice and I really don't care as I will never own an iPhone or...

I'm trying to decide what Android phone to get and when I heard about the overclocking was interested in the Motorola Droid (or Milestone as it is known in Canada). But the 256MB of RAM is bugging me. I'm still leaning towards the Nexus One unless the rumor of the soon to be launched HTC Triumph...

From what I read in different articles, console gaming sales were down in 2009 as well and it was more than 5%.

I disagree. The new Intel Atom 450 while not really more powerful than previous models can offer four hours on a 3 cell compared to the the Atom 270s three hours, drop in a 6 cell and you have 8 hours. A typical low end regular dual core laptop will give you 2-3 hours with a 6 cell. People...

The comment by Michael Vittiglio at the end of the article makes a good counter point. He could 'see parallels between what you’re saying and what could have been said in the 80’s when comparing Windows/PC market to the Apple/Macintosh market.'

Physical Packaging is useless. A wasted resources used to transport plastic discs around the world with bits of information where once installed it sits on my shelf for two years collecting dust till the inevitable day I move and throw it out. I would need an extra room to store all the...

Too bad he wasn't smart enough to set up a myspace page, I cant find anything about this band. FAIL.

I am of course at stock speeds. I have also tested all the 190 drivers including the latest and even tried the 186 drivers. I also just tested another PSU and no luck with that one. I'm giving the card to my friend to try in his system. Im going back to my problem free Radeon 4870, Im sick of...

I was just playing Frontlines fuel of war and the game froze, a minute later I got booted back to the desktop with a error message saying the Nvidia display driver has failed.

Its definitely a different one. I'm in Canada and I shipped it to their office in Quebec. According the shipping tracker, the unit I got came from the US.

I am on my second BFG Geforce GTX 285 and its also having issues. Its not too common, most games have no issue for the most part. I can game for a few hours before having a crash. Team Fortress 2 is the most problematic. It can happen in 30 seconds or take 30 minutes but it will freeze. The...

I posted here a while ago, but to recap I had issues with my older Geforce 8800 GTS during the build of my new Core i7 machine. The card was two years old and I had never registered it, but thankfully I still had the receipt. It was quick and easy to register online, send in a scanned copy of my...

I updated the BIOS and I thought it wasn't working. I waited 20 minutes and rebooted, but the monitor never detected a signal. But than I heard the windows chimes, so it was partially working. I unplugged the onboard DVI and used VGA and the display came to life. I turned it off and installed...

With that graphics card installed I cant even get into the bios to change settings. My next step will be to update the bios, just downloaded it now. Thanks everyone for your input, I will keep you posted on how it's going.

I switched out my my PSU with the one from my Ci7 build, a 625 Enermax Mod82+ and it still did the same thing. It looks like it may be the motherboard or more specifically the single PCI-E x16 slot. I don't have another board to test it. I will probably pick up a new one tomorrow unless anyone...

Yeah the video card works fine back in my Ci7 build. So either my motherboard or PSU in my C2Q build does not like my 4870 or I screwed something up.

I have a Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU with an Intel DG33TL motherboard and a Silverstone Strider 600W ST60F PSU. I got a new BFG GTX 285 for my Core i7 920 machine and wanted to install my Saphire Radeon 4870 1GB graphics card that was working with the i7 machine in the Core 2 Quad machine. When I...

They do, its called a gaming PC.

Are you stupid or something. This statement may have made sense during the physical medium era. But in the age of digital distribution its bullsh*t. I don't need their support. Just sell me DRM free content and be done with it, I don't need any one to support me. I can make my own backups and...
