    Study: Smartphones linked to increase in near-sightedness

    I'm concerned about the impact on our necks (from looking down) and about repetitive movements.

    Who is planning on going from windows 7 to windows 8.1?

    Not me. I just upgraded to Windows 7 a few months ago and I love it. Windows 8 seems like a desperate attempt to revive the desktop when smartphones and tablets are gaining market share.

    First time programming

    I like C#. There is a ton of documentation and its syntax is not too verbose. VB.NET is tiring to type (it's like typing full sentences).

    Do you use third party AV or you just windows defender in Windows 8

    Just Windows Defender. I know better than to run strange executables and I rarely stray from a few well-known sites.

    GFX Newb: Please recommend a card

    Renamed the thread. Current contenders are the 9600gt (thanks BababooeyHTJ) and the HD 4770. I like the latter because it performs a bit better while drawing less power. Supposedly I can only run the lower power version of the 9600gt. I'd like to keep my current PSU because I don't want to...

    GFX Newb: Please recommend a card

    Supposedly it's 305 watts. I'll crack the case and check to make sure (I'll update this post). Edit: 300 watt max

    GFX Newb: Please recommend a card

    I'm working with an older setup and I'm trying to make it last as long as I can. I have a Sony Vaio VGC-RB44G with the stock graphics card that comes with it. I have a Pentium 4 2.8ghz processor (hyper threaded) and 2gb RAM. I'm using a 15 in. monitor at 1024 x 768 but I'd like to upgrade...

    Looking for Circumaural Headphones under $40

    I'm fed up with my uncomfortable headphones and I can't take them anymore! They are really tight and the tiny ear pads smash my ears against my head, making them painful after only 30 minutes. Curse you, ATH-M2X!! This time around, I'm looking for circumaural headphones. I really want some cans...

    Buy Virgin Mobile phone online or at Radioshack?

    Ugh, this Black Friday frenzy is insane. It went out of stock in every store around me, including the next town over, in a matter of hours. I decided on a brick and mortar store for ease of returning because I've heard a lot of reports of Virgin Mobiles' service being kind of spotty as of late...

    Buy Virgin Mobile phone online or at Radioshack?

    The title pretty much sums it up. I was wondering if I should order a Virgin Mobile phone online or buy it at Radioshack (brick and mortar). Which way would be cheaper? I heard Radioshack adds taxes and stuff to the plans. Do they charge an activation fee (Virgin Mobile online doesn't)...

    Socket 775-- Upgrade from P4 to Core2Duo?

    Why is it so cheap? Is there a premium for Intel processors? The reason I ask is because despite being stuck with this P4, I've been really satisfied. My last AMD was painful so I'd like to stay with Intel.

    Are 7.1 audio cards necessary?

    I see builds all the time with 7.1 cards... are they only necessary if you will be hooking up 7.1 channel speakers? If I just plan to use some basic speakers and/or headphones, will on-board audio be okay?

    Socket 775-- Upgrade from P4 to Core2Duo?

    As I thought. And no, the graphics are on PCIe... it's not that old! I'll be saving up for parts then.

    Socket 775-- Upgrade from P4 to Core2Duo?

    I should have mentioned this earlier but I have a no-name Intel motherboard (I have a Sony Vaio RB44G)... According to CPU Z it's the D915GRO. Would it support dual core processors? I have read some posts on other forums saying it's too old but I'd like to get another opinion.
