    File Corruption From Motherboard controller?

    Thanks for the tip on checking the memory. I'll give memtest+ a run through this weekend. I'm sure I ran an extended memtest when I built the system initially, but it might be worth it to run it again. But having looked at this as a disk issue for so long, I never thought to think of...

    File Corruption From Motherboard controller?

    Hi, I've got a slightly older MSI 785GM-E65 that I built as part of a system in October '09. It runs a quad core AMD (Propus?) that I haven't overclocked. Originally I built the system with 2 OCZ SSDs (Agility 2), eventually adding a third (Agility 3). The system has always been just a game...

    Looking to purchase iphone 4... but when?

    I'll add another further note. My wife and I have separate iTunes accounts. We have separate iTunes libraries. We share music, movies and Apps with each other and have our laptops activated for both of our accounts. Apps she buys for her iPod Touch work on my iPhone and my iPad. I don't...

    Anybody returning their iPhone 4?

    Pretty much. And part of it too is that you mention "iPhone" in a news piece and people are drawn to it. The end result is endless coverage to keep advertising dollars up. Ultimately it becomes endless advertising for a problem that may or may not be a problem anyway. You don't hear about...

    iOS4 out now!

    And just to add a note to this thought, save states have existed in apps since before iOS4. If it didn't support it then you should have been bugging the developers for it. It's just a more predominant facility now in the API as well as a bunch of other backgrounding APIs.

    New Mac Mini

    the $1k model is also a SERVER replacement model (it comes with OS X server which is $500 on its own). And coincidently aside from missing the optical drive which is negligible, the upgrades in it make it cheaper than upgrading the base Mini to it's CPU, memory and single 500GB drive...

    Macbook Pro 2.5gig SSD suggestions ?

    In a laptop the hybrid drive loses it's luster quick. You now pay for the spinning drive again in battery power and the potential for lost data in moving the laptop around and damaging a platter. Stick with a straight SSD. If you want cheap go with an OCZ Agility, if you want good, go Intel.

    How fast computer do I need for Air Video for iPad?

    You might want to invest in a kill-a-watt and find out if your pc is really using what you think it is. The power rating that you're worried about is just that, a rating, and not what it draws all the time. If you have a proper power supply and power profile, the system may only be using as...

    Steam for Mac - thoughts?

    I'll say I'm impressed they're only requiring you to buy the game once. It's all too common for companies to want you to buy their stuff over and over.

    Who got the 3G iPad today?

    Yes. I bought a netbook for work and for home browsing habits. The netbook was always terrible for lap reading in the living room because it wasn't wide enough like a 13" wide format laptop. The lack of width made balancing it horrid and unwieldy. And worse if I wanted to lounge in any other...

    Who got the 3G iPad today?

    Yeah, I went with the wifi only version because I could use my Verizon xv6700 tethered. Having my own iPhone, I've seen where Apple and ATT play together to limit the content available to maintain consistency, I don't like it though I do agree with them doing it. I am likely to buy my own...

    iPad Video Formats-

    I've handbraked a ton of dvds to the "Universal" setting so I can play on my Xbox360, iPhone and AppleTV which gets saved as .m4v's . They play on my iPad too. I can't tell you about the down sampling though because I'm only doing DVDs from my collection which aren't even 720p to begin with.

    ipad + wm 3g = ?

    Yes I have. I have an older xv6700 hacked to run an older free WMWifiRouter. Works well for me at work where my 3g on my iPhone is spotty. However I just ran a test at home using the speed test app where I thought I had pretty good evdo on the phone. 3G iPhone on 3G did 964 down/357 kbps...

    Purchase the Ipad with 3G or without?

    I realized that at home, I have wifi. At work, I have wifi. At my parent's I have wifi. At my wife's parent's house I have wifi. Those are the primary places I'll be using mine. The only time I don't have wifi for any length, is when I'm mobile in the car for the once a month 4 hour car...

    Ipad question to actual users.

    No your assumption is that you have another piece of hardware(the flash drive). Mine assumes that my friend's laptop has a common built in piece of hardware for all laptops, a wifi adapter which would at the least be able to open an ad-hoc connection with my iPad. There is clearly a need to...
