    Apple's 'Let's Talk iPhone' Keynote Liveblog

    The iPhone 4S is just playing catch up... Siri is an improvement to an already existing funtionality. Its Apples way of adding "magic", taking something that exists, and tries to perfect it. There arent any hardware changes that are significant. I've owned a Motorolla Atrix since June, dual...

    Apple Says No Reasonable Person Would Believe Their Ads

    Actually, often times when the new "30% More" packaging comes out, and there is still some old ones left over, the claims are true. You can compare the new and the old package and see that there is an increase in volume of the packaging. I have seen it on shampoo bottles, as well bottles of...

    WTF is This?

    From Canada Computers, you can buy a Zotac 9600GT for $126.99 CD instead of spending another 126US to buy an overclocking device to squeeze a tiny lil more performance, you can buy a 9800GTX AMP edition for $221.99 So i personally see no point in buying a device that costs me 126 to get a...

    q6600 maximus formula overclock (1st time overclock)

    Technically it isnt. Cuz there is no way intel can prove or disprove that u r not using stock heatsink nor can they prove that u've been overclocking. the CPU itself holds no settings. and i dont think using an aftermarket cooler voids ur warranty watsoever. my 2 cents
