    Imagine if those people were to figure out there was something in the sky that's radiating broad spectrum EM at around 1400W/m^2.

    Intel Skylake Core i7-6700K IPC & Overclocking Review @ [H]

    Sure you get some new shiny features, but you're talking about $500+ (even more in canuckland) for those features and not a whole lot of extra horsepower for that money. For general computer use, yeah they are fast enough. You're talking about more specialized cases. I have no issue running a...

    Intel Skylake Core i7-6700K IPC & Overclocking Review @ [H]

    Another 2500k owner chiming in to say "no thanks" to skylake. My money would be better spent on upgrading my 680. Then again, kinda knew this would be the point. Other than for very specialist tasks, CPUs have been 'fast enough' since the start of the core i series.

    DRM In New Coffee Maker Will Lock Out Refill Market

    I had a Tassimo for espresso pods, but I finally made the move to an automatic espresso machine (on sale @ costco) and the resulting drinks are much better. Fresh ground beans 4tw. Not to mention around 13 cents a shot :) Will take a while to make up the price difference tho.

    You need to try a different e-ink device then. Really enjoying my new Kobo Aura HD. Being able to adjust the font weight is awesome!

    World of Tanks, 60 million players

    Uhhh if you find the game play an awful grind, why are you playing it in the first place? The game is designed so you can have fun no matter what tank/tier/unlocks you have. Sure it sucks moving from a fully researched tank (and just as important, 100% trained crew) to a higher tier that is...

    Ikea desk gallery

    I'm looking to upgrade my POS desk with one of the Galants and I'm wondering if anyone has mounted a UPS to the bottom? I have an APC Back-UPS. Be nice to clear everything but speakers, mouse & keyboard from the top. Too bad my p280 won't fit in the computer holder.

    Google Facing Antitrust Scrutiny in Europe Over Android

    Why don't they just fork Android and make their own OS & phones with it? How the &*%&# can someone claim anti-trust against an open source operating system? Here's a $*#& clue, how about they just hit up: http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html Oh right, it's easier to have your...

    Wow, Heat Issue with Ivy just stinks, what to do now?

    At 4GHZ, and that H100, I don't think it's really going to matter which cpu you buy. Comes down to, do you need hyper threading? If not, save some heat and money = get a 2500k or 3570k. And if heat and noise is that much of an issue, the 2500k. If you have speed step enabled, most office work...

    Asus P8P67Pro is dead, what to replace it with?

    Was playing some games this afternoon and had my rig shut down. Thought it might have been the power supply (Corsair ax750), headed into work and grabbed my older hx520 swapped a few cables and well nothing. Fans & HDs spin up, but the red CPU LED stays lit. Reseated memory, unplugged everything...
