    Footage Shows a Click Farm in Action

    (singing) When I think about you, I click-farm myself... But seriously, I think I'd just rather pay for ad-less services instead of using all the free junk... It's extremely rare I buy anything from an ad anyway.

    Would You Consider a Disc-Free Console?

    What is this "disc" you speak of? Can I just plug the cable into the back of my head yet?

    New College Class: 'Wasting Time on the Internet'

    That makes wasting time on the internet seem like work! What? I have to read this forum and make my post? Dang it! Since nobody is telling me to code, I'll do that instead. :-) Some good reverse psychology right there!

    AMD Announces Radeon R9 280

    It's not like they'll even release it, right? I mean, I have been wanting an R7 265, and it was "released" over 2 weeks ago. But where is it? I just want a faster card to go on my older Core 2 Duo 8400 system... But I know the 280 is overkill. *shrug*

    Creepy New Porn App Isn't Bad News For Google Glass

    Wasn't there some terrible movie with this as the basis? Some dude is forcing his victim to see through his eyes? What have we become? Yikes! :eek:

    Amazon, Apple and Microsoft Apply For TLDs

    I think I should start selling some TLDs. I can start the bidding at $50K each... Seems much more reasonable, doesn't it? :confused:

    Groupon Names Your Baby For $1,000

    I thought it was super funny, especially the part about Grout & Superweapon. It's just a silly thing to help them go viral and drum up some business, ya know. It's not like anyone is actually going to pay for it, and that is certainly a fake purchase. Can you blame them for trying? If it was...

    Four Weeks of Galaxy Give-Aways!

    The Galaxy would be an excellent replacement for my old GTX260... After all, I must increase the Performance of VVVVVV !! If you haven't played it, check it out on Steam. You'll be hooked! Or you'll shoot yourself in the head... :D

    The Future of Free Energy?

    <conspiracy theory> I think this and other free energy technologies already exist. Of course, the respective world governments hold them back from us because it would destroy the economy as we know it. How many people would be out of work if there is no gas, oil, or electricity companies and...

    AOL Still Has 3.5M Dialup Subscribers

    How many people think that Netflix's graph will look like that in a few years?? :p My bro still uses AOL cuz it's his email address he's been using for years. I don't know what he pays for that, but he doesn't care. *shrug* Some people just don't care if they burn a few bucks just to keep...

    Bethesda on Screen Tearing, Blurry Textures And Texture Popping in Rage

    Fine, mock me! Call me [S]oft! Disregard my controller and head back to your mice and keyboards! Me? I'll head to my man cave and sit down in the dark and play some Doom 2 on my xbox on the theater screen and remember the days when it all just worked! I sit too long at the screens at...

    Bethesda on Screen Tearing, Blurry Textures And Texture Popping in Rage

    Stuff like this is why I switched to console gaming. I believe the PC is a far superior platform, but I'd rather play the games than try to fix them. I'd always spend more time tweaking the game to run on my machine the best, then when it was finally as good as it could be, I'd never actually...

    New Android Trojan Records Phone Calls

    That's not a virus, that's a feature!! Btw, does anyone know of a legit app that will let me record the call I am on? I don't even know how many times I would have liked to have call records when talking to Mediacom (my cable provider) about their crappy service... Curse you Mediacom! You...

    Netflix Now Tone-Deaf on Public Perception

    I voted with mine. I cancelled my subscription. I never thought the selection was that great for streaming, and they certainly had very few movies that had 5.1 sound. Sound for me is a big deal. Also, I only got a couple movies a month, so it just wasn't worth the the 25% increase in cost...

    Next-Gen Windows Systems Due in 2012

    They should release it on 12-21-2012 and name it "Windows Apocalypse". I'd buy it just for the name, even if it's a re-release of Windows 95. :D

    XFX Radeon HD 6990 Drawing!

    I haven't had any trouble with XFX in the past, but I hear the service is great. I've been seriously thinking about switching back to a Radeon after having an NVidia based card, and this would certainly put it over the top for performance! I've already got a 1000 watt PS sitting in my machine...

    PayPal Resolves Dispute By Draining Your Bank Account

    Try www.dwolla.com and see what you think. It's 25 cents per transaction, but I haven't used it with ebay yet. It doesn't link to ebay like Paypal does, but it's so much cheaper...

    20% of All Peak Traffic Due to 3.5M Netflix Data Hogs?

    I bet someone at Netflix knows the truth. But really, 20% of prime time bandwidth from a single service? Do they have a pipe that big?

    5 Screen Eyefinity Demo Reel

    Or you can just buy a projector for your screen and sit back a bit if you need emersive video. Yeah, I know, bigger pixels, but it's got to be cheaper and easier than that... and no black bars!

    Galaxy 6th Week of Christmas Give-Aways!

    I am making a post because I saw a link on the front page. The link told me to post and to puss out. But really, I actually buy stuff from the Hot Deals forum occasionally. Sometimes I just can't resist!

    For The [H]orde GTX 460 September Giveaway Entry Thread

    Started up my PS3 and a work computer folding 2 years ago. I don't have the spare computer now, and my PS3 would crash when I ran it. *sigh* I have a different PS3 now, so I'll give it a try again. If it's not doing much, I'll see if my wimpy home computer can add anything worthwhile...

    FS: E-Dimensional wireless 3D glasses kit - CHEAP

    Hey all, I have an old set of E-Dimensional wireless 3D glasses with the IR sender and VGA connection. I still have the box and everything that came with it, plus extra brand new batteries. It worked great back in the day with a CRT monitor! It's been in a box for a couple of years and I just...

    Dell Netbook for $199

    Has anyone tried running MAME or any other emulators on one of these? Would the performance be better with XP Home or Ubuntu? It would be awesome to have a small computer you can stuff away inside of an arcade cab...

    PSN Helps Cops Find Stolen PS3

    I think this is FANTASTC!!! You know why? Cuz someone broke into my home last week and stole my PS3, my import controllers, my games... They even took my Kid's Nintendo DSs and my wife's purse. I hope the perpetrator logs online with it and gets caught!!

    AIAS President: 'Game Reviewers Are Lazy'

    How come [H] Console has gone away? No advertisers? No time for the games? No reviewers? Ever think of resurrecting it and making it even better than its former glory?

    BenQ V2400W by Jim

    Looks like my new monitor came at the end of last week. I have been running all this week so far, and no problems... No dead pixels, no stuck on pixels, just a good monitor! It got here much faster than I anticipated. That's a plus for BenQ. Excellent customer service and pretty fast as far...

    BenQ V2400W by Jim

    *laugh* I sent mine out a week ago Friday for the exchange so I can have one without the stuck pixel. Since I was one of the reviewers, I haven't paid anything for it yet. So, if one never comes back to me, I guess I didn't lose any money. But, really, for the regular price, it's a pretty...

    BenQ V2400W by Jim

    Looks like BenQ will be swapping out my monitor for one without the stuck on pixel. Yeah! I don't have the RMA information yet. I think the person I am working with is probably in marketing because the of the monitor deal and reviews through HardOCP. Anyway, I am sure there will be a new...

    BenQ V2400W by Jim

    Well, I added some screenshots to the initial post. Once again, there seems to be no lag, even with AMA on, and even while scaling. I popped on to Age of Conan for a few mins tonight (haven't played in 2 weeks since my basement flooding), but the monitor seems solid. Of course, a game like...

    BenQ V2400W by Jim

    Had a busy weekend trying to clean up and organize from my stupid basement flooding... Anyway, I'll get some new lag testing added this evening so we can see if AMA is slowing down the response. I am not sure why I didn't think of it. Must have had some water on the brain... *sigh* Anyway...
