    3M Making An Android Coffee Table

    The 1080p resolution seems rather inadequate for a screen of that size with such short intended viewing distances. I would think that for this thing to really take off, they need to bump it up to 4K resolution and drop the price point by about 50%. Of course, it may be awhile before that becomes...

    [H]ardOCP & ASUS GeForce GTX 660Ti DirectCU II Giveaway

    The benefit of this card over my current GTX 460 are twofold: 1) This card, per the www.hardocp.com review has a 100% performance increase. That's DOUBLE the performance in only two generations. That's amazing. 2) Reduced power consumption? Yeah, that's right, this card will make me more...

    Budget Laptop for Programming Major

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. My at-home workstation should handle on of the heavy stuff. This computer is primarily for taking notes while in class and on campus. I'll either use my workstation at home or an on-campus workstation for any serious programming or rendering. I want to be...

    Budget Laptop for Programming Major

    Well, if I can find an X220 in my price range, that'd be amazing. The other one is a bit too heavy at over 5lbs. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Budget Laptop for Programming Major

    Hey Guys, I will be returning to school for a second undergrad degree this fall. I will be majoring in Computer Science, with an emphasis in real-time 3d graphics programming. I have a very powerful desktop (though measly, I'm sure, by [H] standards). I need to find a laptop or...

    Rebates To Cut Price of $60 LED Bulb

    LED bulb for ~ $24 at amazon: Phillips EnduraLED. At 10c per kWh and a 15 year lifespan, these bulbs have an estimated ROI of 285% vs. an incandescent with equivalent lumen output. At $1 per bulb CFLs would have an ROI nearly 10x as good, even when including replacement bulbs due to...

    Reformatting Win XP Machine

    Thanks Deathwish! I'm going to try booting with only 1 stick of ram tonight to see what happens. Yes, I was able to load a Linux OS from the Ultimate Boot CD (I don't know if it was Ubuntu or not). Everything ran fine in Linux. Does that mean my RAM is okay? I'm a complete newbie to that OS...

    Reformatting Win XP Machine

    It passes Memtest, and I've tried running a clean install a few times. I've been able to get as far as the desktop where it tries to finish the recovery CD process, but it then freezes. A HDD check shows only 1 bad sector on the hard drive, but I suspect this is what's causing my...

    Reformatting Win XP Machine

    Hey Guys, My Toshiba Satellite M45-S355 laptop from back in 2005 was on the fritz. It started a couple years ago where the "Toshiba Power Saver" would have a fatal error. The computer would then usually overheat after awhile and shutoff. It also wouldn't shut down all the way on it's own...

    Best Buy Adding Game Staff

    I have a friend who works at Best Buy. And, from what he tells me, the training is practically non-existent. So, the only way that the staff will know anything is if they already know about it and are interested in it. Otherwise, you end up with vitamin guy, or the guy who I asked about IPS...
