Agreed. Texas has 3 of the top 10 most populous cities in the US. Most Texans live in big cities, even if they aren't as dense as New York (most dense Urban living) or LA (most dense suburban living). Your dollar doesn't go as far in places that are considered more desirable to live by...

That's exactly what I was expecting when I read about the steamtroller. I think it might be pretty cool. I read an article by the Super Meat Boy creator (Tommy Refenes) and he had largely positive things to say about it. The only reason he said he might not switch is the familiarity of the...

I understand that they don't offer exactly what you're asking, but you can setup filters to do this. Which is what I do. They're just implementing what most of us already do. I actually have 3 major labels filtering exactly like they're proposing (financial stuff, social stuff, and email...

After reading the article, it's unclear why they did this ban. I don't live too far from Tesla and it was discussed on NPR yesterday. I thought this 'unfair competition' was about over 10% of Tesla's revenue coming from carbon credits it sells that are granted to it by CA for producing...

Yep. It's noteworthy just to say that there are Android phones that are just as good as the iphone now. Also, from a consumer perspective it's now becoming a question of: "Is it worth the extra $150-$200 just to be within the apple ecosystem?" For many Apple users the answer is yes. I...

You may have to put your TV into a 'game mode' or turn off whatever image processing or other fun stuff it's doing. I know this was a problem early on for consoles when people started gaming on flatscreens. Many TVs now have an option to disable their own processing that causes lag. With...

I was really disagreeing with the idea that controllers are the worst. They have plenty of limitations and faults, but succeed as decent general input devices. I concede that the modern controller is a compromise made for the sake of comfort and big screen gaming. But they're still...

Yeah, I'm disagreeing with him too. At least the part about the controller being inherently inferior to a KBAM configuration all the time. (I agree that using a controller for CSGO would be handicapping yourself) Modern dual analog stick + dual analog trigger (plus buttons) have earned a...

Actually, it might play on that. Especially at console resolutions (Halo 4 will supposedly be done at 1280x720 then unconverted). I've been running console games at higher than console resolutions on much weaker hardware for a while now. Remember that these are Xbox 360 games, and while...

I finally got everything together and running last night and I misunderstood what you meant when I read this initially. But yeah, the covered slot is not one of the ones to use for dual channel. I had feared in reading the review that I'd have to take the heat sink off to install additional...

Thanks for this review, I have an i30 coming in the mail for my new build right now. This is the memory I have right now for the build waiting for this cooler. I've only got two sticks now but I should be able to fit four in later if I want to. I'll probably populate the blocked slot with...

To my knowledge nobody playing PC has had this problem. I don't know many BL2 Xbox players, but at least one I know mentioned something like this happening. The PC issue many were having was with connecting to other player's games. That was supposedly fixed in a patch this morning.

Yeah, I know quite a few people using a large range of hardware with no issues at all. It sucks not being able to play a game you want and we've all been there, but it's hardly a widespread issue. (People I know on Steam have just the usual stuff like physix being enabled on cards that...

Nice prices and quality product.

The big difference between the Nexus7 and 7" Kindle Fire HD is the GPS. Well, outside of android stuff, but on the old Fire, if I could get the android install file then I'd mail it to the Fire and install it that way. The reason that Gizmodo article linked earlier is confusing is that the...
