    Google Hiring Twelve Lobbying Firms

    How to Properly Add Outlets to a UPS

    This is hogwash. Odd that APC is spewing this crap. A surge protector is going to have some EMI filtering at one and then a power bar of some sort that all outlets plug into... all outlets are going to be effectively the same. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Yes you need to be careful of...

    Scary Supreme Court Quote of the Day

    Did you watch the video you posted al ink to? At 1:03 he discusses how he briefs incoming clerks on what they can't post to twitter/FB/etc. The commend at 2:00 is obviously a joke, everyone laughs. Lighten up. What's sad is a 60+yr old codger sitting in the judges seat has a better...

    Buy iPhone 4 or wait for 4s/5?

    The first beta released to devs on Jun7 was jailbroken same day according to the news... so you have little to worry about.

    BitTorrent Sued For Patent Infringement

    So you've never used bittorrent... There is definitely a server tracking the various users, and an initial server seeding the content to get the ball rolling.

    Buy iPhone 4 or wait for 4s/5?

    If it gets the iPad2 cpu, the dual core as rumored, that means significantly more processing power to distance itself from past devices. iOS5 with pending release this fall, has full featureset on iphone4, so you get full features from apple, but what about third party devs? *shrug*

    iPhone-next; a big update or minor ?

    They could do a small bump, say 3.7, edge to edge, and still have a good size and maintain a recognizable design without feeling huge. But not necessary, 3.5" has proven to be plenty, the next worthwhile jump IMO is to a tablet. They do, iPhone4 was a significant departure from past designs...

    What's a good AV software these days

    Simliar experience. Ran across several viruses that MSE picks up and Avast catches. Avast is what I run primarily on mine and those I support. But that's largely circumstantial and non conclusive, except that MSE's virus definitions weren't up to par with what was making it past my email spam...

    iPhone-next; a big update or minor ?

    My guess. Japan nuclear disaster slowing down some of the third party component development and production line. I'll take a stab. September announcement. A5 iPad2 cpu or derivative, dual-core etc, downclocked a tad for battery/thermal considerations same form factor new camera, maybe...

    What's the difference between MIni PCIe mSATA and PATA?

    Read post 5, I cant fathom a way to make it more clear using English language. Particularly when you didnt specify your motherboard. If your mnipcis slot is wired for sata, yes. If its a dell mini 9 like OP, or most laptops, no.

    Foxconn iPad 2 Info Leakers Sentenced to Prison

    China has a long history of valuing of honor, and personal responsibility, breaking oath of secrecy seems like a major insult to those, I'm not surprised harsh punishments were ordered.

    Google's Web Mapping Can Track Your Phone

    All raise hands that are surprised Google, a company who's primary business model is supplying data about their users to third party advertisers, makes some of that data publicly available. *crickets* Yea, thought so.

    What's the difference between MIni PCIe mSATA and PATA?

    There are two types of drives, with very similar physical connectors and form factor, that are different electronically. Yes, it's retarded.

    Does a game being "kiddy" effect your decision to play it?

    No. Loved Mario Galaxy, Zelda Twilight Princess, and really liked the lego games, just haven't had time. Thoroughly enjoyed World of Goo, hmmm and probably something else in the near past.

    Do you pay for apps?

    LOL I know right? Infinity Blade is so addicting, I layed in bed last night playing for several hours, even though I have Witcher 2 to be working through. It's completely mindless from the story, puzzle viewpoint. But the touch interface for slashing, blocking, dodging, parrying from...

    Do you pay for apps?

    Most of the time, I use the built-in. It works great as long as you aren't way up in mountains where there is no data coverage, barely voice.

    Apple Sued over Use of iCloud Name

    Apple owns the iCloud trademark. They bought it from Xcerion AB CORPORATION SWEDEN a couple months back. You can check UPSTO TESS yourself, it's a public database. Apple is in the right here. iCloud Communications was lazy and fucked up. Apple did their due diligence by checking with USPTO...

    Refunds For MobileMe Subscribers?

    It was worth the money when these users paid for it, at the time they let their account renew... They felt the features offered were worth $99. It's like going to the store today, seeing a Intel 2500K for for $180, and in two weeks price drop/rebate/sell and they sell it for $150 instead...

    is it viable to upgrade my video card?

    See my sig, I did similar even though my base cpu is a tad beefier. Also came off of a 8800GTS 640MB original. Witcher 2, 1280x800, minimum settings, unplayable. $210 Upgrade to 560TI Witcher 2, 1920x1200 native, high settings, smooth. Was a huge increase in performance. Maybe some GPU...

    Need new Mouse Pad

    What happened to your Func? Why replace? Mine is like 5 years old and still perfect... Hard to find? Lotsa places selling it :confused...

    Ratpadz did not refund shipping, anyone else have this happen?

    Interesting... GS sounds very familiar... that must have been what I had and eventually tossed out, replaced with another, because it did that. Didn't realize there was a difference.
