    The BBC Announces Doctor Who’s Thirteenth Doctor

    I quit watching after the 'Oxygen' episode because I was so outraged at the anti-capitalist message.

    How Screen Size Preferences Have Changed Through The Years

    I'm 6'6" so my Nexus 6 doesn't look so ridiculous in my hands. I remember around the time of iPhone 4 launch when Jobs said 'no one's going to buy' a big phone. I replaced my iPhone 3G with a Droid X.

    Apple Ads Claim 99% iPhone Satisfaction Rate

    I've never really liked Apple, but I gave them a chance with the iPhone 3G. I didn't like iTunes and had a few issues with the phone's software that forced me to factory reset it. The fact that the "upgrade" made my phone run horribly slow was the last straw for me. I bought an HTC One X and...

    Kansas City Residents Slow to Sign Up for Google Fiber

    I grew up in Kansas City but I live in Palo Alto now. My parents signed up and are in one of the areas with enough subscribers. I just wish Google would bring it to the Palo Alto/Mountain View area near their HQ. If Kansas City residents can afford the $70/month, Palo Alto certainly can.

    Gears 3 and Dues Ex Leaked

    I've already pre-ordered Deus Ex: HR on Steam. The only thing I'm wondering from these leaks is whether or not the game is good.

    DirectX 11 Tessellation Package For Crysis 2

    Silverstone Raven RV03: User review, lessons learned, and build log

    I just got my rv03 from Amazon but like darkstarcow I'm also missing the box of accessories. I'm contacting them. In the meantime I should be able to get by with the screws from my existing case.

    Corsair AX850 vs Silverstone Strider Gold 850

    Amazon just started offering a $20 rebate on the Corsair AX850 today to bring the total price down to $163. It expires on the 19th. I'm really thinking about ordering one of those and a Raven RV03. I just noticed that case is now available on Amazon for $146.36 with Prime shipping!

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Trailer

    In Oblivion, I perfectly leveled my character up so I actually had to increase the difficulty as I leveled up. Still, I spent too long doing that. The leveling in Fallout 3 is better. I'll be buying this game, but I'll wait a few months like I usually do. I like having bug fixes, good...

    Intel Chipset Design Error!!!

    My MSI P67A-GD65 has 4 SATA III ports. I don't plan on using the SATA II ports so I probably won't go through the RMA process.

    Couples With Math Skills End Up Wealthier

    Actually, for the third question, any amount between $240 (simple interest) and $244.28 (continuous compound interest) could be correct. I would have assumed it was compounding yearly and said $242.

    Oracle Looks for Chipmakers to Acquire

    NVIDIA's market cap is $6.8 billion. AMD's market cap is $4.9 billion. NVIDIA does have a much higher P/E ratio, so you mean that AMD is larger in terms of revenue.

    NVIDIA Reveals Fermi's Successor

    For those saying they want to skip Kepler, keep in mind that if NVidia had made that chart on a log scale the line would most likely be straight. Using a linear scale is silly for computer technology that doubles in performance every 18 months.

    Comcast Offers Payday Loans and Hookers?

    This place is on Comcast's website. It's Low Fee Check Cashing 3 at 2200 University Ave East Palo Alto, CA 94303 This is the only store that matches the hours listed. It's only 2 miles from my apartment and came up as the third hit when I searched with my home address.

    OCZ Solid 2 Series - opinions?

    I'm debating getting one of these or a Vertex. The only benchmarks I've found is one posted in this forum a week ago. They have a similar price on Amazon and both have a $30 rebate. I'm leaning towards the Vertex but some of the numbers in the [H] review look better on the Solid 2. I need to...

    Does Netflix Have a Blu-ray Disc-Cracking Problem?

    I just started Netflix w/ Blu Ray. Out of about 8 disks, no cracks but I couldn't play about 7 minutes of the directors cut on one movie. The normal version was fine.

    Comcast E-mail Outage Updates Sent via Twitter

    I wish there was FIOS in my area though my internet speeds through Comcast have gotten much better since they upgraded it a few days ago. I was getting 4000/384 and now it's more like 10,000/2000 kbps. I'm in Mountain View, CA.

    Xbox 360 Sales Surge, PS3 Sales Slump

    Why can't Yahoo do math? The sales increased by 49%, not 33%. If it had gone from 309K to 207K it would be a fall of 33%. They computed the fall of 25% for the PS3 correctly, so presumably they can't calculate rising percentages.

    Intel Postpones P55 Chipset, Lynnfield CPU

    I hope they don't push back the release of the 32nm core i7s. I'm thinking of upgrading to one of those but until then I'm sticking with my E6600.

    What is Google Hiding?

    I really doubt that over 10% of Google could be using a new OS without anyone else finding out. My guess is that it's some version of Linux that doesn't give a standard user-agent string.

    Some ATI Radeon HD 4830s are Gimped

    If someone has a 4830, are they really going to even notice that 1/8 of their SPs aren't working? Most of them probably aren't being used for gaming anyway.
