I've got tendonitis in both wrists and after playing with a tablet, I've been considering a multi-touch display for my Windows 7 machine. My girlfriend is an artist and she uses her Wacom Cintiq (LCD with digitizer pen input) for mousing due to similar problems with her right arm. My main...

What he probably means is that Google couldn't use these patents as a form of "mutually assured destruction" against the other patents that Microsoft and others are threatening handset makers with. To give some more background, the crappy-ass state of patents today means that the best defense...

Note that the invite is not the important thing. Rather than having a set number of invites, Google+ instead limits the number of sign-ups. Therefore, it depends how soon you sign up when it's open rather than if/when you were sent the invite.

So much confusion here. Confirmed that this indeed refers to Google Profiles, which were the predecessor to Google+ profiles. I believe if you sign up for Google+, it converts your existing Google Profile page if you have one. All of the privacy settings on the Google+ profile page still apply...

I think all the Z68 boards I was looking at have Virtu right now, but good to know. On my own, the main differences for the ASRock Z68 Pro3 are: No extra SATA 3 controller (only 2 ports) Only 1 PCI-E x16 slot No firewire nor eSATA No PHY interconnect for the NIC I found a review at...

I've got all my new parts for my new 2500k build ordered, except the mobo which is out-of-stock, backordered, or just overpriced at locations that have it. The ASRock Z68 Extreme4 is available, but as expensive or more as the P8Z68-V Pro. What am I losing if I go with that, or the cheaper and...

Anyone know the difference between the P8Z68-V PRO and the P8Z68-V. TigerDirect has them both with at $20 price difference, but hard to tell what the difference between them is without going line-by-line through all the marketing stuff. [Edit] Found the Asus compare page. Here's what the PRO...

That instant wasn't there when I checked. I guess it's back.

Eh, the RAM price died prematurely. Base price is now $115, so $105 after coupon.

Was actually looking at this case awhile ago. I love my first-gen Centurion. I just wish I could find a decent budget case with USB 3.0 ports on it.

I dunno, you could say it's being discreet behind the iGPU with Virtu :D. But seriously, you're not the only one. I was fine with the mistake on page 1, but then it bugged me when I saw it repeated.

Just chiming in to say I'm proud of the people here at the [H]. I half-expected to see comments with people joining in on the FUD, and was pleased to find you guys paying attention to the facts of the article rather than the spin. Bravo!

I understand the scammer concern, but I figure Google already has to deal with that kind of thing when it comes to ad clicks. I assume if they have something in place that prevents them from having to pay out lots of money for ad click fraud, they should be able to deal with the +1 clicks.

Wasn't this reported months ago when OSX got the update that changed this calculation? I remember there being a bit of hoopla about it when it initially happened. Technically SI prefixes like kilo, mega, etc. are meant to operate in powers of 10. It's just that we've historically applied...

Sorry, English fail.
