    Good cans 100-150 range?

    I currently use Grado SR125i in that price range, and I've loved them more than any other cans I've tested. If you listen to rock, they're especially gratifying. If you're having trouble deciding, see if a local audio shop carries them and go have a demo.

    Google Agrees to Delete WiFi Data Collected

    Except for the fact that the information they would have gathered in this sense wouldn't have been useful, or even usable, in the way that you're making it out to be. Google doesn't give a fuck about your login information to your favorite porn site, and if you use their search they can already...

    Google Agrees to Delete WiFi Data Collected

    As if they even give a damn about John Dumbass' random shit he was broadcasting unencrypted. It was a passive collection that was mapping networks. The conspiracy theory bullshit regarding this story is mind-boggling, but it's cool to hate anything that people like, right? ^^^ This. With...

    Signs Point to New Mac Desktops Coming Soon

    Did you really just try to come on [H] and honestly try and insinuate that ASUS has shitty build quality that makes a Macbook's idiotic pricetag worth it? I think you'll be better received on the Mac forums, where people are clueless about hardware and still think Windows machines since 98...

    37 States Join Probe into Google Wi-Fi Data Collection

    Breaking news, this just in. Fucking retards broadcast their internets traffic to anyone and everyone within one hundred feet of their home and it's everyone else's problem but theirs. I hope Minnesota isn't part of this nonsense. It's like investigating scanner owners for overhearing some...

    48% of PC Games Bought in 2009 Were Digital Downloads

    Your tinfoil hat rant was no more impressive over on Shacknews. Hopefully you only came onto two websites to bash Steam.

    48% of PC Games Bought in 2009 Were Digital Downloads

    All of my game purchases are on Tuesday and Friday, during the respective Mid-Week and Weekend madness on Steam, with some GOG goodness sprinkled in.

    Is the Death of the CD Looming?

    When a digital music service offers lossless files, I'll stop buying CDs. It's too nice to have lossless files backed up and just encode to whatever codec I want/need.

    AMD May See GPU Profits Drop in 3Q10

    I think that saying competition from NVIDIA is "heating up" was a poor choice of words.

    London Times’ Paid Online Readership “Disappointing”

    As soon as the news is more than what some Jersey whore from a reality TV show is banging, or who got a DUI this week, I might actually subscribe to some of it.

    Analyst: Activision Should Charge for CoD Multiplayer

    Man Stung by $8,000 iPhone Bill

    The guy should have looked up his data roaming charges and taken personal responsibility to assure he didn't get raped. At the same time, there should be regulation to prevent said raping from being business as usual, even if that regulation only requires the warning message to specifically...

    Flash burninates the iPad

    Because even though everyone bitching about Flash can try and use the ostrich method to make it go away, the fact remains that a huge portion of the intarwebs still uses it and there isn't a widely accepted viable alternative yet. Someday that will be HTML5, but it's not ready yet, and even...

    Apple Hopes to Re-enter the Living Room

    The UI won't be the problem. The problem will be the price and extremely limited capabilities, like all their crap products.

    President Announces Broadband Jobs Grants

    There's so many examples of the government either mandating or manipulating lower prices for so many items and services, that I wish it would all stop for one week so the companies could charge/do whatever they want so you could see how stupid these tinfoil hat comments are.

    Google's Street View Wi-Fi Data Included Passwords

    But if I don't know how to change my oil but then also never bother to take the car to someone who does, I don't really have a right to be pissy at anyone but myself when the engine blows.

    Google's Street View Wi-Fi Data Included Passwords

    Actually that's exactly what would appear, as well as anything else that was going through the wireless connection. Running a wireless network without encryption is literally broadcasting everything you do on the internet into an easily accessible public signal. Those 1's and 0's can be just...

    Google's Street View Wi-Fi Data Included Passwords

    I'm pretty sure that if I broadcast something unencrypted into the open air that my right to privacy is pretty much null and void. That'd be like me using HAM radio and then trying to sue people for eavesdropping. Considering that the data is useless to Google anyway, anyone claiming they...

    Google Music Store Could Launch this Fall

    I'll never give Apple a dime, so I currently use Amazon. If Google comes out with a DRM-free distribution system where I can stream my collection as well as download it, I'll be onboard.

    Does Google Have a Double Standard on Full Disclosure?

    So even though he already had means by which people could safeguard themselves against it, he should've just sat on that information in order to be polite. Makes perfect sense.

    Does Google Have a Double Standard on Full Disclosure?

    That blog guy is an idiot. If you actually read the post from the Google employee, he goes into an explanation of the vulnerability, methods to protect yourself, links to a hotfix he coded under the GNU with full source and explanation of how it works, and then goes on to explain why he...

    OCZ Introduces the Fatal1ty 750W Modular Power Supply

    I refuse to buy anything branded with this guy's name, especially when they toss in BS marketing nonsense saying that it was "co-developed". I didn't know playing Quake and Doom made you an electrical engineer.

    Apple May Be Facing The Eye of a Regulatory Storm

    As has been stated, game developers aren't locked into any particular dev tool or API, be it DirectX, OpenGL, or anything they could make themselves. They can code a game however they like and release it for Windows systems. This scenario would be Microsoft saying that any game coded for...

    Hawking Says Time Travel Possible

    I don't care that this is well known already in the scientific community. The fact that a scientist can get into the news with something about Relativity instead of the latest going ons of a reality television personality is a huge breath of fresh air, no matter how old hat the information...

    'Avatar' on Track to Break Record for Blu-ray Piracy

    I wonder how many of the downloads are people who bought the movie but it won't play in their player thanks to shitty DRM implementation. Regardless, we'll get to hear from the MPAA all about how terribly sad this was and how little Jimmy went without Christmas because Avatar only brought in a...

    New Chrome Fires Up Geolocation Ability

    Yep, all ads, as well as all flash except for a few sites like Newegg that uses it for their pictures. If the site is sane about their ads and I like it I'll let Google's text ads through since they're not obnoxious.

    Adobe’s CEO Responds to Steve Jobs

    Steve Jobs is an idiot and is spewing nonsensical bullshit, for the most part. Just because you put your head in the sand and ignore a standard doesn't mean the standard doesn't exist. Also, he's way overestimating Apple's importance, since the number of Mactards out there in the world surfing...

    Comcast Voted Worst Company In America

    I'm thrilled to see this award go to a company that truly deserves it. Congratulations, Comcast. Knowing that the shitty service I'm receiving is now award-winning is just icing on that very overpriced cake.

    U.S. Broadband Access is Even Worse Than You Think

    I'm glad someone finally said this. I hate people saying "OMG IF WE WERE SMALL IT WUD RULE HERE 2". Some of our cities have populations that rival entire smaller countries and the internet access still sucks comparatively. Living in a cow town of 10,000 people I wouldn't expect Asia or Sweden...

    Boy Scouts Add The Video Game Badge

    That's just it, they technically don't qualify for it. Anything that gets tax money like that is bound by the normal laws that any non-private organization has to follow. The Boy Scouts get to be private when they want to discriminate, and public when they want the money. I never claimed...

    Boy Scouts Add The Video Game Badge

    Read before you speak. It's not a single scoutmaster, it's the documented and demonstrated policy of the entire organization that they are very vocal about. And like I said, if they were entirely private then I wouldn't even care, they could hate homosexuals and Jews and gypsies and anything...

    Boy Scouts Add The Video Game Badge

    I won't repost all the controversy and litigation that's gone on. Basically you can't be in the Boy Scouts at all, even as a scout or as leadership, if you're an atheist, agnostic, or homosexual. If they were a completely private organization I really wouldn't care, but since they receive...

    Microsoft Says Android Infringes on its Patents

    This feels more like a backdoor deal to somehow undermine Apple's lawsuits against HTC. I know, conspiracy theory omg, but we don't know what was infringing, whether it was Android code from Google or an alteration introduced by HTC and manufacturers themselves. We also don't know what the...
