    Verizon And AT&T Quietly Make Wireless Plan Changes

    I Project Fi use T-mobile, sprint, and us cellular. Their roaming limits don't apply to project Fi. $20 unlimited talk and text, $10 per GB of data. You only pay for what you used and refund what you don't use. International data is the same rate. The service uses any of the 3 companies at any...

    Samsung Galaxy S6

    iMessage still needs the contact to have either the phone number, email, or icloud, that that contacts uses for iMessage to work. If not then it uses plain on SMS. iMessage is just a lock in to keep people in one particular ecosystem and nothing more. Hangouts is just the same as well but...

    Samsung Galaxy S6

    Nope a great deal is about being in the in crowd having what others have when it comes to electronics and most other material things. Never discount that this plays a big part in peoples buying habits. But enough of marketing 101 and social habits for another time. The issue is that Android is...

    Samsung Galaxy S6

    Got me BB Passport and a Windows Phone that will receive windows 10. So I think I'm good since I don't follow trends and don't use apps much unlike most people. I'm that type of person that follows my own drum beat and never have gotten myself overly invested in these ecosystems. I guess it's...

    Samsung Galaxy S6

    Well my ride on the android train has come to an end as i have android fatigue. I'm tired that the only way to get an android device bloat free is to root or get a nexus. I'm tired that updates take forever and that Google hasn't laid the update gauntlet down to the carriers to help out the...

    Courts: Parents Liable For What Kids Post On Facebook

    I see a lot of the "kids can't deal with the real world" false logic crap from a great deal of people here posting. The fact is we all made this illiterate, fuck tard, crap of a social construct we call society. In the real world don't you think we would be smart enough to be able to treat each...

    Need Help Choosing A New Phone

    I would wait for the G3 or simply rough it out till later in the fall to see what might pop up. Also take a look at the Sony Xperia Z2 as i have it and it is quite good for a phone.

    Beware when buying expensive open box video cards from newegg. Shady dealings!

    Thats not Newegg's fault, that is UPS new way of doing business. IF they can offload the package to USPS to get it out of there system they will. It is also a deal they cut to lower cost and USPS took it as it helps them as well. Basically if UPS doesn't think they can get it to you in a timely...

    Google Getting Slapped Big for Dodging French Tax Collector

    These corporations aren't seeing the writing on the wall, a great deal of tax havens are disappearing and the governments are no longer allowing the things from the past to fly. Look how hard these countries are attacking these tax havens now.

    Mixing different CAS latency sticks

    My experience with that is most motherboards will run them at the lowest rated DRAM CAS speed. But don't quote me on that.

    EVGA GTX750Ti SC - No 6-pin?

    +1 THE 750ti didn't last long on amazon when it went back in stock yesterday. Now they require more days to process orders for the 750ti SC from EVGA. Others OEMS are 1 - 2 month backorder on amazon. I was patient and waited so I didn't get gouged from some of the other resellers on...

    EVGA GTX750Ti SC - No 6-pin?

    I have the EVGA 750ti SC and I think it preforms great. I'm glad I don't need an extra power cord from my power supply. The ones with a 6 pin power connector is not just because of the custom fans but to allow you to OC it to high heaven and back. To get some of the more extreme OC you will need...

    XFX XTR 750W Power Supply Review @ [H]

    Looks good to me as I already have the XFX XTR 650W version in my rig. I think it is pretty stellar and the hybrid fan does indeed make it very quiet, even if you turn that feature off it is still one of the most quite power supplies I have ever had. Powers the rig in my sig.

    How many have used same old PSU for rebuilding?

    For the op I would say yep it's time to retire that older power supply, but don't waste your money spending for a new ultra higher watt one as for majority of the systems it is not needed. Even for crossfire and sli based systems. Get a new one that gives just a touch of breathing room are for...

    Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2014 (Value Edition, 3 PCs/2 Years, Download) $6.99

    Indeed I think it just becomes a game of will it install or not. This is the nature of all software as it can't be tested on every computer configuration so it's a shot in the dark on installing anything. Some programs can interfere with any software configuration so you just have to find what...

    Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2014 (Value Edition, 3 PCs/2 Years, Download) $6.99

    This is great software but for those running windows 8 I suggest you use the version that was made specifically for that. It's called Bitdefender Windows 8 Security. That version was specifically designed for windows 8 and works like a charm.

    Is it me or Windows Phone Sucks?

    I think it is you OP. You thought you could take a windows phone and turn it into an android or IOS device with a better camera. IMO I don't think you even realised that ecosystems are not the same. Your mistake was chasing features and not properly researching what the Windows phone OS was. I...

    Microsoft Wins Spot in School Curriculum

    And why can't we get it done here? Well a dumb populous is easy to control than a smart one. Thats why education reform is a sham of charter schools that test out to be even worst than the public schools they said they were to improve upon.

    Nexus-Five thread

    This is not a flagship for google it's just a way to get their phones into people hands. The camera is held back by the camera app IMO. The battery life is debated depending on usage and signal from carrier.

    Will AMD ever get their act together once again?

    Right now software has stagnated to the point my rig can handle just about anything. There isn't anything other than some games that can make my rig sweat much. I think we are just at a point the technology has outpaced the software. There isn't much must have software out there that needs a...

    Nexus-Five thread

    I would say it is under the HTC One the HTC one is the standard on music sound. I would put the N5 ahead of the S4.

    Nexus-Five thread

    HTC one is still the one to beat but the N5 isn't bad at all it is quite good for a mono speaker. I base this off my newly today delivered N5 vs my wifes HTC One Mini.

    Origin PC drops AMD graphics options

    I wondering who is buying the high price boutique computers they sell. Most tech guys would build their own before buying something from them with those prices and regular Joe shopper would avoid them like the plague at those prices. Who cares anyway because before this press release nobody...

    Banned iPhone 5C Promo

    And still has a massive war chest as well that you apple fans overlook. 900 million write down bothers the masses not Micro$, that just made them a good excuse to throw Balmer out. Many here don't understand Micro$ & Nokia I see. If Micro$ turns around and buys Blackberry then **** just got real.

    Court Orders Woman To Give Boss Access To Her Facebook Page

    Well this doesn't affect me at all since my sick days are unpaid and you can take as many as you want because it's your money to lose. Plus my employer never turns down requested sick days and I don't even have to talk to anyone to take one...just request it through an automated layoff system.

    The [H] Carrier Thread

    was on sprint back in the day and it still has terrible speeds even today. Went to T-mobile then a 100MB data roaming cap went into effect and sure enough I ditched them quickly. NOw on At&t for a while and no complaints as i have the service, coverage, speed, and international service that I...

    Microsoft Stock Takes A $32B Hit

    MS is the evil empire to a lot of folks that want to cheer for the little guy or their hero company. Hate from most posters is because they need to justify what they brought so it's easy to bash the other products. A lot of the mature buyers don't need to bash as they buy what they need and...

    Microsoft Stock Takes A $32B Hit

    Just about every phone can do that which is nothing special. Now try running a youtube video and checking facebook in the same window. Unless you have a Samsung phone or a LG phone you can't as it is not a feature of android it is something those 2 companies added themselves as a feature.

    Microsoft Stock Takes A $32B Hit

    A company still worth billions and still making billions pretty much overrules armchair investors that can't make six figures a year themselves. IF I was making the rules I would make speculating illegal and then watch how many useless **** that are out of work from wall street.

    The Nokia Lumia 1020 (Eos) Thread

    I'm going to pass as this is not a true upgrade to a 920 or 925. This is just a lateral move with only the camera and an extra gig of ram the difference.

    U.S. Department of Defense Orders 630K iOS Devices

    DOD Spokesman has already said this story wasn't true and just a lie. When was the last time you heard of the DOD putting out a press release on phones they buy and other electronics. Doesn't happen often unless it is a military wide upgrade i.e. contract change to computers and other equipment.
