    Google: Gmail Users Have No Legitimate Expectation Of Privacy

    TANSTAAFL Ignorance does not excuse responsibility. That about sums it up. Though most of the people crying need to pay attention and RTFA. A little reading comprehension does wonders. For the record, I use Gmail all the time. I use it for trivial stuff, like I would use anything...

    Robot Does Quadruple Backflip

    As far as I can tell, it's operated by a human through RC, so there is hope for mankind. Still pretty cool. Listen to those servos sing.

    Exactly, that's the part that made me sit up in my chair. I'm actually interested now.

    New AMD Drivers Coming July 31st

    Radeon HD 7990 versus GeForce GTX TITAN Review @ [H]

    From the article. "We are using Catalyst 13.5 Beta2 for AMD Radeon HD 7990 and 7970 GHz Edition CrossFire." So I guess the new drivers have finally satisfied the [H] crew when it comes to smoothness. If it had been an issue they would have mentioned it... a lot. Good news. Oh yea, and no Gold...

    Google Not Liable For Vanity Search Results

    You are guaranteed a defense attorney in criminal cases, who is supposed to do their level best on your behalf, that's it. I'll soften the blow by playing along... Your momma so fat, she rolled outta both sides of bed. Carry on.

    HAWKEN Beta Now Open

    I'm downloading it now, a bud is nagging me to play. I've been playing MWO since well into closed beta, so if it sucks then I'll live. It'll just be a good excuse for him to finally load MWO. I do agree that the more mech games the merrier. Now go watch the Pacific Rim trailer. WEEEEEE!!!

    Windows 8 is the New XP

    Pretty much what I thought the first time I read someone whining about why they couldn't just keep XP around. When XP released no one could stand it, myself included. After SP2 it was a decent OS, and SP3 which was almost a rewrite made it nice. But for years people would describe XP as if Bill...

    Japan Mulls '911' Emergency Calls from Social Networks

    So instead of saturating one network, they can saturate 2. Kudos Japan, well played. (<--- obvious sarcasm, for those with no soul)

    The Raptor RT01 Is Your Next Table / Desk

    To quote a wise man (me), "If you can see my desk then I'm not working hard enough and you should fire me." Since it looks like your personal bench, tell the wife that if it wasn't on the table, it would be in her closet. :) And I used a glass top diner table as a computer desk for years...

    Nexus 7 Tablet Hands-On

    LoL It's ok guys, we understand, have to grasp any straw to stay the course. Weeks ago the decision had been made to not care about this release. Then I saw the specs. This of course evoked immediate application of "fork to hand" to stave off involuntary CC# recital on the 10 key. I then...

    Police Do Not Need a Warrant to Subpoena Tweets

    Maybe people will finally realize that putting their whole lives online is a bad idea. Drives me nuts to see all these people post every last detail of their daily lives without a care in the world.... until it inconveniences them, then it's all about how they want privacy. I spent my...

    FAA to Test Electronic Gadget Interference Theory

    Here's how it will go. 1. FAA does study, finds no way for consumer equipment to reasonably affect the avionics regardless of what phase of the flight you are in. 2. FAA does another study after the first one is ridiculed for being too narrow. Now the study includes blenders and washing...

    AMD Radeon HD 7870 and 7850 Video Card Review @ [H]

    Gotta love it... When Nvidia is first out the gate and kicking ass, bending peeps over is ok because they are faster. When AMD is first out the gate and kicking ass, it's higway robbery to charge what the market will bear. Was the same way when they had the best CPU. Sure Intel did...

    Marketing Ploy Has 'Humans' Flying Over New York Area

    Galaxy MDT GeForce GTX 580 Video Card Review @ [H]

    Ugh, I just can't not step in this one. The whole "real world" paradigm of reviews was supposed distill the review process to presenting what the user is going to experience when they get home with their shiny five hundred and eighty dollar video card. To use the cop out of blaming the makers...

    Could use help deciding on i5-2500K cooler. CM 212 EVO / Xigmatek Gaia / Corsair A70?

    For what it's worth I'm running the regular 212+ on my 2700K and it's doing great. I'm running at 4.8 @ 1.3vcore and a little PLL bump. My room ambient is locked at 72F and my internal case temps range from 75-79F. According to my logs from the last couple days it hit 142F (61C) under 8 threads...

    A really good mATX motherboard?

    I'll have to 2nd the Maximus Gene-Z. Has all the bells and whistles it's bigger brother does, onboard EAX support (I wouldn't call it an Xfi, but real nice for onboard), and even has 5 (FIVE!!!) 4pin fan headers. Only problem I could see is it only comes with sata cables that are right angle on...

    Why is there 1000000 2700K's for sale?

    Yea, market always gets flooded this time of year with whatever Intel Retail Edge is running on special. They run summer deals too. I never bothered selling anything I picked up through them though. They let me have a decent box in every room I want one. Mine should be here Tuesday, to be...

    Ridiculously Expensive In Game Content

    Ahh, the fickle court of public opinion. Despite the fact that they charge almost nothing to buy the game (Extra 5 bux on your first month), have completely revamped the game engine twice without charging , and even give you a mechanic to pay for your sub by playing the game, it's all just a...

    Microsoft Raising Pricing for Certification Exams

    BFD I stopped keeping up with them after Server 2K. The money was much better spent on my race car. If a company turns their nose up at me because I don't have an MS cert, then I probably didn't want to work for that company. They are only worthwhile fresh out of college if you couldn't...

    ASUS GeForce GTX 590 Overclocking Follow-Up @ [H]

    Not really surprising. The AMD chips had the multi GPU card in mind from the beginning of their design. This has been AMDs MO since the 3000 series, use multiple high-end chips for the halocard. We all knew in our heart of hearts that there was no way to fit 2 full spec 580 parts on a single...

    Intel DX58SO2 LGA 1366 X58 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    I get that, I really do. Having been in the same boat a few times, it can be quite frustrating. However, I think of it this way. If I'm out buying an OC board, I'm buying it to OC. If it does that well then it shouldn't be a surprise to find it's had to give something up in some other area as a...

    Intel DX58SO2 LGA 1366 X58 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    First off, I despise Intel motherboards. Even the mainstream ones tend to be full of quirks. If you ever need a laugh, go read some of the fix lists for BIOS updates on their boards. The progression of fixes can be hilarious. Intel's views on over-clocking aren't complicated, they are...

    How NOT to Launch a Video Game

    How is the game? SP: I'm a couple hours in and enjoying it so far. Kick up the difficulty a notch and it's enough of a challenge to make following the story rewarding. It's a bit too much on rails for my tastes, but the story is worth it.. so far. That's the real gem of SP, the story. I read...

    Hawken: Mech fans look here

    Was the LBX10, giant shotgun, you could fit 6 on the Daishi. Short range, high power, fast reload. If you chain fired them it would be a constant stream of lead. If you used 2 groups you could double tap most heavy and smaller 'mechs. Even if they lived through it, they were on the ground most...

    AMD's Bulldozer and Bobcat Processors Preview @ [H]

    Ways to Thwart an Online Bully

    Please, lets get back to reality. As has been said, there is no such thing as an online bully. There are only those who are so pathetic as to let someone with no physical access to their person dictate their behavior. If you're going to let someone online bully you, then that's a personal...

    Desktop PC Platform: Killed By Overclocking

    Just FYI, Das Capitolin is the author of the article. That's right, I read both of them AND the comments. I still think he's making mountains out of mole hills, while tilting at windmills, followed by upwind urination. Saying the "Overclocking Gear" market has almost ANY effect on the...

    Apple Security Breach Gives Complete Access to Your iPhone

    Real world? Ugh, ok. First - I'm not hating on Apple, I have fond memories of Test Drive and SunDog on my old Apple IIe. The fact is Apple isn't relevant enough to hate. With the exception of the smartphone/media player markets, Apple could just aswell not exist. Video and photo-centric...

    Apple Security Breach Gives Complete Access to Your iPhone

    Wow, seriously? The whole point of the iPhone (or any smart phone) is that it's a little computer you can hold in your hand. Hell, to be technical the TI-86 sitting here next to me is a computer, it could even run games. The problem isn't that Apple claims they don't get compromised, but that...

    Motorola Droid Next to Get Android 2.2 Update

    This is good news for those not comfortable with hacking their phones. 2.2 runs much better then 2.1 on hardware that can run it. Flash on a stock Droid is gonna suck though unless they get optimized streams. I have been running SS 4.2 with ChevyNo1-LV1.0GHz kernel (just updated to 7/1...
