    ME3 Ending Fix Coming This Summer

    As someone who is about halfway through the game (my guess), I honestly don't want a different ending to be released before I finish it. I want to play the game the developers intended. So I am kind of glad it won't come out soon, I will have it finished by then. I don't know what the ending...

    Seriously? I don't think people are having good sex then.

    Intel Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend

    I just recently started looking into investing now that I am in a good financial situation. I have been looking around for the best dividend payouts just out of curiosity, and I can't find anyone that would be as profitable for me as Intel right now. On top of that, I have a lot of faith in...

    Valve: No more episodic content

    Why are you people so QQ about hats being added to TF2? It's one thing if you could benefit from the hats in-game, then you would be buying performance. But it's a FREAKING HAT. The only thing that does effect performance (weapons) are FREE. Given how much free content they have worked on for 5...

    Microsoft Just Wants IE6 to Die

    Those numbers in the U.S. seem rather low. I'm a web developer and I have to say the number of our clients that use I.E.6 is probably closer to 20-25% not less than 3%. Especially in the small business realm, it seems like the task of upgrading a dozen or two (or even 1 or 2) computers to a...

    Kingwin LZP-550 550W Power Supply Review @ [H]

    If they released a 400W version for say $110 or so, it would make its way into both of my crunchers and likely many other people's crunchers as well.

    Knighthood for Steve Jobs Blocked

    Jonathan Ive should be knighted ten times before considering Jobs once.

    Bulldozer Innovations Target Energy Efficiency

    A Bulldozer module and a hyper-threaded core are not similar enough to compare to each other. They don't work in the same way, in fact they are almost opposite of each other. A HT core is a single core that can schedule a second thread. The goal is to take advantage of the fact that usually, a...

    Shell Shocker - OCZ 90GB $101.99

    The model number is identical on both generations of the hardware which is why some are crying foul. Tom's did a decent write-up of the issue: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ocz-vertex-2-25nm-ssd,2867.html

    Bulldozer Innovations Target Energy Efficiency

    Serious/dedicated folders avoid running outside the efficiency window like the plague. Crunching 24/7 with bad settings can cost enough to buy two rigs to run at good settings. Overclocking != inefficient by itself. Most CPU's can run at much higher frequencies using the stock voltages, and/or...

    AMD Buyout

    It works by people buying stock for more than the previous person paid...? Very basic concept. Money is not magically created when a stock goes from $10 to $15. Someone spends $15 on the "item" someone else spent $10 on. That gives the first guy the $5 difference as profit, and the second guy...

    Intel Sandy Bridge 2600K and 2500K Processors @ [H]

    That's just nuts seeing how close those get to the 980X. I bet they will be crunching monsters. I want one!

    imma gonna let you finish but.. Newegg has the best budget build of all time [$210]

    Don't confuse the B2 and B3 Phenom 1's, they were pretty different as far as what to expect. This one is a B3 (which is a good thing). The B3's have models ending in 50, XX50. The B2's were the ones with the TLB bug (irrelevant) and also overclocked very little more than stock (more relevant)...
