    Comcast CEO: “The More You Use, The More You Pay”

    The issue is even more fundamental. You see with Water or Electricity there is a generation cost. The power in your lines is generated at a remote station that must be paid for the cost of generating the power. With the internet the only cost to the ISP is the infrastructure, not the actual...

    Should You Buy A Sound Card?

    Look at this article I occurs to me that they where using a lot older equipment. Gigabyte and MSI have some great onboard sound options with thier gamer boards, as good as any sound card you can buy at a reasonable price. A lot of the difference people hear in sound cards. onboard and DACs is...

    Thermaltake Core V1 Mini-ITX Case Review @ [H]

    While this is a great little case, take the full sized graphics card ability with a grain of salt. If the card is longer than 280mm or so it will not fit, a number of the higher cards push this length and beyond. Also if the card is more than dual slot it has issues. A lot of cards now use 2.25...

    Elder Scrolls Online Overrun By Bots?

    I have been playing ESO since release and can tell you that while there are a lot of bots, there is nothing going on we have not seen at EVERY new MMO launch. ESO is getting targeted by reviewers for a lot of things that other MMOs experienced as well and yet the reviewers did not make this...

    First Day with Bitcoin, Overstock Does $126,000 in Sales

    Look argue it any way you like but a CURRENCY needs a level of stability to be viable. When you go buy a loaf of bread your dollar is worth a dollar. While the price for the load might change over night the change is usually within a single percentage point or so. When the currency changes value...

    First Day with Bitcoin, Overstock Does $126,000 in Sales

    Wonder how much the people that used Bitcoins for the transactions will be happy if the value of the coins jumped up $300 tomorrow. Or how happy overstock would be if it fell by 75% tomorrow? Forget the pyramid scheme, bit coin value is to unstable to be a viable currency.

    Game Demos Cut Sales In Half

    I think his numbers are likely spot on. I mean lets face it a trailer does not represent true game play and gives a false sense of what the game will be like, driving people to want to buy the game. An actual demo gives an accurate representation of game play and with less false hype the numb er...
