Just read this review of the new Spectre x2 2-in1:

Looks solid. Best Buy has the base Core m3 model (includes LTE and keyboard, but no stylus) for $699 right now. Anyone rocking one of these or have hands-on experience?
I've been using an OCZ Agility 4 120GB SSD as a Windows 10 boot drive for awhile now. Today I was on the computer, reading wiki when all of a sudden the computer spontaneously rebooted to Windows 8.1 (stored on another drive on the same system). Windows 8.1 couldn't see the drive with 10 on it...
Google finally announced their new MVNO carrier initiative, Project Fi:

There's a bug in the SSL implementation of all previous versions of iOS that can allow an attacker with a foothold on your network (or another nefarious user on a public WiFi hotspot) to perform a man-in-the-middle attack on any SSL/TLS secured connection. If you ever connect to public WiFi for...
I recently got an XFX 7870 OC with a Tahiti LE core for a new build. I got everything installed and went to switch to UEFI mode in the mobo setup so I could install Windows 8.1, but doing so killed the video. I removed the card and tried doing the same thing a couple different ways, but every...
Just got a $100 Apple gift card, but I already have all the Apple stuff I need right now. You can use this on Apple products online or in-store, as well as on iTunes for apps, books or music. Anyone want to trade an Amazon card for my Apple one?
I believe this is the lowest it's been for the base game. The Complete Pack (includes Season Pass) has been $8 before at GameFly though, so not the best deal if you want the DLC.

Anyone gotten an iPad Air yet? I tried one out at the AT&T store today on my lunch break and was quite impressed. I thought for certain I was going with the Retina Mini, but now I'm not so sure. The reduced weight and the thinner side bezel makes a huge difference when holding the device in...
I'm looking to purchase at least one iPad mini. Shoot me a PM with what you have and how much you want for it. I'm especially interested in units that are jailbroken (or on iOS 6.1.2 or below) and/or ones with LTE.
I'm also looking for at least one iPhone 4 or 4S for Sprint. Again, preference...
Anyone have any good sources for BayTrail benchmarks? I'm specifically looking for ones on the desktop experience and PC gaming performance that compare the CPU/GPU to other desktop/laptop options. All of the benchmarks I've been able to find so far are either synthetic (I don't care about...

Costs $349 for 32GB. Runs a new Quad Core Bay Trail Atom. CPU and GPU performance appears similar to a 2nd-gen Core i3.
Seems solid, and I'm looking forward to this generation of...
On its face, the new search seems somewhat less useful for searching FS/FT, since it doesn't preserve the "last post" time and won't allow a proper sort by it. This results in quite a few threads being returned that are old or where the items searched are no longer for sale. So far the best...
Looking to buy a couple Sprint Android phones. Must have Clean ESN. HTC EVO 3D, Motorola Photon and Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4G are my preferred devices, but let me know what you have. Looking to pay in the ballpark of $100 each, depending on device and condition.

The new Google Maps is out for iPhone. It has turn-by-turn, pseudo-3D and all that good stuff. Also has public transit routing (Apple's biggest oversight in iOS 6 Maps, IMO).
Has anyone tried it yet? An iPad version is coming soon so I have to wait to check it out, but I'm curious how it...

This is an amazing deal if you are still missing either of these awesome games. The pack activates on Steam and should be two separate keys.

Use code OCTOFUN1 for 25% off and a final price of $7.50.
MacUpdate has the new Civ 5 expansion, Gods & Kings for $20 (33% off). You get a Steam key that works on Mac and Windows. It just came out a few days ago and this is the lowest it's been.

Newegg has this 180GB Intel SSD for $140 after $60 MIR. This is the async NAND 330 series, as opposed to the synchronous NAND 520 series. Still an excellent drive for the money, though.

5nine used to provide a free version of their Hyper-V Manager with limited functionality. They no longer offer this version and I don't have it archived anywhere. I'm really in a bind and need a copy of this. If anyone downloaded this when it was free and still has it or knows where I can find...
Is anyone using the Hyper-V Server 8 (standalone) beta? I don't have much experience with Hyper-V and I'm wondering if VMs created in Hyper-V Server 8 are backwards compatible with Hyper-V 2008 R2.
I'm looking at a cheap E-350 system to drive a 27" digital sign. It's 2560x1440 resolution, and I'm curious if a Radeon 6310 supports dual-link DVI and can drive a display of this size. I don't care about 3D performance at this res, just 2D. Anyone know if this config works?
I'm looking for a set of BT wireless headphones. Would be handy if they also had a microphone for taking calls, but not strictly necessary. I don't want earbuds or IEMs, these should be headphones. I don't have a strong preference for open- or closed-style cans and am interested in...
I'm getting a new 27" iMac at work and I'm looking for a way to hook up a SSD to it over Thunderbolt. It's $600 for Apple to put a 256GB SSD in it from the factory (in addition to the standard 1TB HDD), which seems steep, but the options from 3rd parties don't appear that much better.

50 posts is a great starting point, however it just encourages spammers to post 50 posts worth of junk under the radar so they can come to FS/FT and peddle their wares. Most of the time these posts are like "oh yeah I liked that too" or "should of gone AMD" (in the NVidia/Intel forum) and other...
Told yourself you'd never pay money for Duke Nukem Forever? Now you don't have to.
Duke Nukem Forever is $5 on Amazon. It works with your $5 off coupon.
You will get a key that activates on Steam. It is the "Mac version" but DNF is a SteamPlay game that works on both Mac and PC. It does...
Game is $10 today at Best Buy as a digital download. It's a Steamworks game, so (presumably) you just get the key to activate on Steam. I think $10 is tied for the cheapest price it's been since launch. This is not the Augmented Edition, just standard...
I have a 16GB Touchpad in excellent condition. I'm interested in trading it for a Playbook of any size. Can add cash or other goodies as necessary. Touchpad includes original box and all accessories. Pics upon request.

Right now I'm running 2 1U pizza box (half-depth) servers with Dual Opteron 246HE (2GHz, single core, low power) processors. I'm interested in upgrading to processors with at least E6 stepping so I can run VMWare vSphere 4.1 (running ESXi 3.5 now). These servers have some unknown 1U HSFs on them...
Sorry if this is explained somewhere, but I checked the FAQ and the board's help feature and can't find out where the infraction system is explained. What does each individual "infraction" do, and how many are required before some sort of privilege restriction?
