    Google Glass Parts Estimated to Cost Less Than $80

    Not saying I think Glass is worth or costs anywhere near $1500. But I'm not convinced that it only costs $80 in parts either. Not sure all those prices are really accurate. And I think the actual housing of Google Glass is quite a bit smaller than that of a smart phone. So wouldn't some of these...

    Should I be concerned about +5 rail with lots of hard drives?

    I have an 8 year old Seasonic M12-700 watt and I have a rare boot up issue with USB devices that I'm not sure if it's just the PSU is old or something else. It's rare, but sometimes when I reboot some USB devices won't function, particularly the keyboard. I thought it was a motherboard issue...

    Intel: Windows x86 tablets could go for as little as $100

    Just because they can or will make $100 Windows tablets doesn't mean it's going to be something you'll want to own. We have $100 (and cheaper) Android tablets and they are horrible and just a waste of money.

    Android devices - question on differences (I'm I locked out of one device?)

    Well you don't have Google Play installed on the Touchpad (and probably none of the Google framework/services), You'll need to download the Google Apps bundle and flash them through CWM or whatever recovery you have installed. And once that is done, you should be able to install apps.

    Asus T100

    I had mine about 2 weeks before I returned it... Obviously the build quality is on the poor side, naturally expected at this price range. There was some creaking from the tablet bezel and the keyboard has some flex. But the build quality didn't really bother me much. What did bother me was the...

    Do all Ultrabooks suck or what?

    I'm struggling to find an Ultrabook I like as well. Spent a couple days at the Microsoft playing with what they have available. $999 ASUS UX31LA, i5-4200U, 8GB, 128GB, 1080p. This is an older gen model, recently replaced with the UX301LA. But for the price it seemed okay. Has a aluminum body...

    Where Do You Put Yuor Nexus 5 Wireless Charger?

    Oh, the magnet is definitely strong enough to hold the phone. But that is if you have it centered properly. If you are off to one of the sides a bit, you'll feel a lesser amount of grip and if you should, say mistake that for the normal grip and let go it'll plop to the floor.

    Where Do You Put Yuor Nexus 5 Wireless Charger?

    Mine is on my desk. You can't just put the phone on the charger and expect it to stick good on the first try. You need to wiggle it around until you feel the magnets grip the sweet spot. So if I mounted this on the wall, I can imagine me thinking I had it gripped and letting go only to watch...

    Headset That Helps Cure Gamer Rage?

    Hmm... this confuses me. They say that while the user is calm and has a slow heart rate it will automatically put the game into easy mode. And then when the user's heart rate starts getting faster will move it to hard mode. They associate higher heart rate to game rage, so it sounds like this...

    Worst PC Game Launches of 2013

    Fortunately my strategy of waiting months for games to show up for half price somewhere has saved me from all launch nightmares. :)

    Steam Removes Game From User Libraries

    Sounds like a big non-issue to me. A game I never heard of was shut down because nobody was playing it and Valve just removed the decaying corpse from the library.

    Crystal Dynamics Defends $60 Tomb Raider Port

    Ugh, hate not having an edit button on this forum. Typo... "And the ported..." should be "And they ported..."

    Crystal Dynamics Defends $60 Tomb Raider Port

    I don't see what the problem is. The game isn't that old. And the ported it over to a new platform. Obviously for anyone that has already played the game it won't be worth $60, but for those that haven't, I think it would be "worth the price". Though I say that in quotes, because I think all...
