It needs to be extended to the abuse of apostrophe's.

Both the G.Skill and the Samsung drives are waaay more than the price of the Crucial drive. It's an apples to oranges comparison anyway, because the G.Skill drive is a PCIe form factor and the Samsung drives are M.2 PCIe. The 950 pro maxes out at a quarter of the MX300's capacity. Sure, if...

I'd almost welcome this at my humble abode. With Cable One 1Tb/s service, we have a 500GB/month cap. If you go over for any three months out of six, instead of charging you for an extra bucket of bandwidth, they just automatically move you up to the next tier of service. Since 1Tb/s and 500 GB...

What about the used textbook racket? That's where the money is for the college bookstore. Buy 'em back at 25% of cover price, sell 'em for 15% off retail.

Dude got burned out by work and did a little too much extrapolating.

This sounds like a loser of a case for a couple of reasons. First, there's no promise of priority access. Second, there's no "premium" being paid - the cost of the phone and AppleCare is the same regardless of whether you purchase outright or do the upgrade thing. And third, the contract says...

As an engineer, I'm pretty doggone concerned about making money. On the other hand, that's not really what the article was about.

The last sentence of the story made me wonder what's in the water in Chicago.

We have no idea what the cost difference is between a 1366 panel and 1080p one, but when you're making thousands of PCs, even a $10 difference in the BOM (Bill of Materials) cost adds up. You think a $10 difference in the BOM adds up? Move that decimal point a couple of places. At the "value"...

My wife is the curator of a museum. Archival storage of digital material is a real concern of hers for several reasons. The first is, obviously, the physical longevity of the medium. The museum buys archival CD-Rs that are supposed to last a hundred years. The second, though, is more...

Only if you won. And could collect.

It's still got 28 cents to go until it hits zero...
