    Google Researchers Made an Algorithm to Delete Watermarks From Photos

    This could be thought of as being in the same league as a person that writes cracks for software.

    Does Linux Lack a Killer App?

    You should be comparing the $500 hooker to actually having a girlfriend. Meeting a nice girl with good code quality is free. Maybe she doesn't always wear makeup and doesn't some of the big flashy features,but that can be a good thing too. She has nothing to hide, she won't tell you you have...

    Alternative calibration software for X-Rite colorimeters?

    I used DispCalGui yesterday with success. Yes it asked me to do a manual calibration first because your screen at least has to be in the right vicinity for a proper calibration. This was on Linux so I can't tell you what the Windows experience is like. I did the eye-bal calibration on...

    Looking For Line Drawing Software

    I've had both but Inkscape is by far my preference, not including price cause Illustrator isn't that expensive if you actually use it. Between the two, you have what you need for logos. If you're more comfortable knocking something out in a raster program then do so and trace to vector after...

    7 second animation freelancer

    Might be the part where you explain what you want AFTER finding someone. Not to sound grumpy, but that's a bit like asking you to promise you won't get mad if I tell you something. ;-)

    wtb: Nintendo Wii

    I have one in great condition but I agree with the sentiment that $47 is a little too low to expect to pay.

    The official "clean desktop" club.

    13.1 with KDE. I like XFCE as well but use a few of the KDE apps so thought "hey why not". Once I have it all configured how I like it, they are within a couple hundred megs of each other anyway. Yeah SUSE is pretty solid and BTRFS Snapshots are nice. I run Arch on my laptop with the same setup.

    Mechanical Keyboard Recommendation?

    A note about the Keycool. I ordered one (Kc84) from MK and promptly returned it. The quality of the keys was very poor and it had a loose switch. I tend to avoid them now. Edit: I should have said that the keys were backlit. I've read good things about their PBT keys.

    One o' them there drawin' tablets

    Also look for Huion on Amazon. They are very similar to the Monoprice but I like the pen a bit more. They are usually sold under the Tursion or Turcom brand but they are Huion.

    Windows 9 Coming November 2014?

    It was my joke cause they are going in a similar direction to Ubuntu. I didn't read the release date and didn't care to. 14.11 Blue Ballmer sounds just as good though.

    Sony Boss Explains Why No PS4 Shown

    8GB of GDDR5 is pretty impressive. You're right 'face2palm', the rumours said it would be 4GB but perhaps they were matching the Xbox's purported 8GB.

    Thoughts on 3d modeling software & sculpting/texturing with a Tablet PC?

    Should be decent for Zbrush and general sketching. Try out Sketchbook Pro, it's made for stylus only use.

    Thoughts on 3d modeling software & sculpting/texturing with a Tablet PC?

    I haven't used the larger ones but I can tell you one thing, 3d apps dont like low res screens.

    Thoughts on 3d modeling software & sculpting/texturing with a Tablet PC?

    I tried out a 12" cintiq and hated it. You can't mirror the screen so you essentially have to have the 3d app on a low res minuscule screen with your hand in front of it. In my opinion its either one of the larger digitizer screens or the separate digitizer. Portable tablets are interesting...

    One APU to Rule Them All?

    Some bold predictions in the opening post. I don't think it will be that easy. It seems as though the 3 companies (perhaps 5 if you include Qualcomm and Samsung) are all converging on a similar point of performance. ARMv8 based Tegra and Exynos are likely to compete at this level as well.

    Thoughts on Monoprice Tablets?

    I just got the Huion H610 ($55 shipped from Amazon). It's pretty similar to the monoprice but the pen seems a bit nicer (I don't own a monoprice). So far it's been a pretty good tablet and quite comparable to my Intuos3 if not better on some areas. The build quality of the tablet and pen is...

    Wacom Intuos 5 Question

    I believe there is an Intuos5 without the touch capability. Saves $50 or so off the price. I was recently in a similar situation but decided to go with a Huion H610 instead ($55 shipped). So far it's been pretty decent. There are some areas where it is better and some where it's slightly beaten...

    Funny GameStop Far Cry 3 Contest

    It's funny seeing the buck-tooth hillbillies making fun of Belize when they know nothing about the place. You read a story about McAfee and know all about it right? That guy had a bad reputation long before any of this happened.

    Start a movie on your HTPC, stop it and head upstairs, resume it on the roku, head to bed and finish the movie on your phone. Just one usage scenario for Plex.

    Warm deal: Roku 2 XS $75

    I bought it from 1saleaday.com a couple weeks ago and it came looking brand new minus the fancy box. So far it's been a great device and I use it in conjunction with my Plex server.

    Q4'13 IB-EP 12-Core Xeon - Killer Workstation?

    I run my 3930k @4.5Ghz for everyday use and people here run em higher. What you mentioned is already surpassed. As for IB-E well whenever the enthusiast version comes out, likely 8 or 10 core if the XEON base is 12, just a moderate overclock will put it most of the way to what you want.
