    Droid Turbo 2 Survives 70 Drops To Concrete Floor

    My Droid Turbo 1 has been amazing from a durability stand point...Very very durable phone, especially with the nylon back - no worries about scratching it. However, when I spiked it on the edge of a set of Concrete stairs on accident the other day....gone.

    An Inside Look At YouTube’s Subscription Service

    I do the play music thing (7.99$)- and I haven't seen a YouTube ad in a long time. Its always been part of the deal. I also browse the web with an ad blocker. That said, its absolutely amazing to me when I browse the web and YouTube on Edge without my google sign on. The YouTube ads are...

    Next Big Windows 10 Release Will Ease Activation Hassles

    This was basically my biggest complaint - I've done 3 Fresh installs for Win10 now, and every time it involved installing a Win7 instance, and then upgrading. PITA. I dont know they didnt do this in the first place. I Undersd that most people are simply upgrading(like my parents) but many...

    The Trekker Goes Where Google Street View Cars Can’t

    The weight wouldnt bother me- I think what would suck is the high CG. that thing has to swing back and forth like a mofo.. Much of the trick in packing is getting the heavy stuff as far down in the pack as possible (close to the hips) to keep your CG relatively normal.... no way to do that...

    Installing Windows 10 On A 7-Year-Old Laptop

    My parents are STILL rocking that exact laptop. It actually runs (windows 7 starter) pretty decently for basic web browsing etc as long as you don't load it up with tabs. I've seriously thought about throwing a $50 SSD and a 1GB of RAM upgrade in it, probably be just fine!

    FCC Questions Verizon Over Throttling

    Finally someone said something. The real question is, how does using 10GB of Data on an unlimited plan differ from using 10GB on a 10GB plan from a network management point of view? It doesn't. Verizon is setting up arbitrary rules to kill the unlimited plans. thanks Tom!

    Google, VMware Team Up to Bring Windows to Chromebooks

    To be fair, most of the costs associated with a workstation are in the support and maintenance and not so much the initial purchase cost. I can see $5k easily. That said, there is some support and maintenance of chromebooks too....

    Most ATMs Still Run Windows XP

    no, but if its "scan fingerprint AND put in PIN or Password" it becomes far more secure.

    Hackers Bypass Apple’s Touch ID with Lifted Fingerprint

    Can it be used it in conjunction with a password or pin, as opposed to the only credential? MFA style... Then it is a very secure addition to local or Web Auth.

    Hey guys, Looking to pick up a A85x board, but I have specific raid needs. I'd like to run 2x128 ssd for os and apps and 2x2tb HDDs in Raid for data. Does the A85x support multiple arrays on its built in controller or do I have to pick up a PCIe card to supplement?

    Banias Pentium 1.5GHz vs Dothan Celeron 1.6GHz

    The Dothan. if the chipset supports it, you can overclock the hell out of it too. Banias is on the 130nm process I think, Dothan is the cutting edge 90nm process! haha! Just so you know, the PC im typing on right now is a Dothan 1.7Ghz (400mhz bus) P-M, pin modded to (533 bus)...aka 2.26Ghz...
