    OSX on the cheap?

    I don't play with Mac's much, but being in the support field I get asked questions all the time. What's the cheapest option for a machine that can run leopard? i want to set one up and play around with it.

    Alex St. John: "Consoles as We Know Them are Gone"

    Well I am pretty sure it has to be a 2.5 HDD. That leaves the biggest available now at 320GB with the Samsung 500GB on the way. The 320gb are $150-ish, some cheaper. Comparitively a 3.5 500gb is $100. Also, most of the 2.5 5400rpm and even if you spring for a more expensive 7200rpm, there can be...

    Alex St. John: "Consoles as We Know Them are Gone"

    That should be moot point. But seriously, the price debate is moot. If you are savy and smart a decent PC might run you as little as the most expensive console. If you get that lucky, future hardware upgrades will up your overall cost, but you likely offset that with the money saved in...

    Alex St. John: "Consoles as We Know Them are Gone"

    Let us not forget the Neo Geo, which was $600 way back in 1990. As for this whole thread, it's an argument that can't really be won without laying out the ground rules of the comparison first. I would say for myself, consoles cost me more money. I try to buy almost all my games used now, and...

    Why does Microsoft charge for online but not Sony?

    Xbox live is more refined than PSN, but they offer the same general functionality. I have all the consoles, I have Live and, naturally, PSN and I think they are both about the same. Xbox has a little better interface, better friend interaction, and their store is better. I think the the XMB is a...

    Looking for Cellphone

    I've been with AT&T for a while (currently using a w810i), I have an grandfathered plan where I get unlimited anytime for $40 a month. Right now, they are F-ing me on switching to an iPhone, because they say I have to give up my plan to get it, then pay $120 for unlimited. Point of that story is...

    Games with the best UI?

    WoW being customizable is nothing new though. EQ1 had an xml ui and a great customization community. In my opnion, you have to have a customizable UI in a game like that.

    Epson RX680 Bluetooth Apdapter alternatives?

    Anyone have this printer? I just got it, I was hoping to hook it up via bluetooth so I could have it more centrally located in my house. It turns out I need a $40 bluetooth adapter from epson. I have a feeling that there are cheaper, off-brand models I could buy to accomplish the same task...

    Cheap BT USB Adapater? Also, M/KB suggetions

    I see them all over ebay for as cheap as $5 shipped. Anyone ever bought one? I can't imagine there is much to it other than an antenna and the software. I just was wondering if anyone had a bad experience with them. I'm using a Logitech MX5000 combo at the moment and there are so many problems...

    Smash Brothers review up at IGN

    It seems like Nintendo was actually pushing a bit of the hardcore aspect out of this game. It may have been a combination of factors influencing it, one being the new controller is not as suited for Smash Bros, but I heard some of the advanced techniques are included. I know there aren't analog...

    Games that are like Zelda

    While it's not really that Zelda like, I love Shadow of the Colossus. I haven't played Ico, but maybe that is more like a Zelda. Either way, if you haven't ever played it, it's awesome. The boss fights (the only fights) are probably the best I have ever experienced.

    Best way to compare xp builds?

    Thanks for the input. Mostly I have been doing what was mentioned here. I've comparesd start up and shut down times, application open and close time, the number of running applications, memory usage, but I haven't tried any file copy comparisons. I was hoping there was a synthetic that would...

    Best way to compare xp builds?

    Right now I am working on optimizing my company's xp install image for better performance. We use Thinkpads and they come with all sorts of bloatware and crap they just don't need. I've been building a tweaked xp image to compare against our current one. I need some way to quantify the...
