    My storage hard drive takes 8-10 seconds to load.

    I'm a complete moron when it comes to configuring storage drives. I installed a nice big SD hard drive and plugged in my old os drive as a new storage device. It all functions fine but the lag to access the storage drive is obviously due to something i did wrong. Essentially when i click on a...

    Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 for new PC build

    I stubbornly installed Windows 8.1 today because I had a program that could only run on a 64bit operating system (I had windows 7 32bit). There weren't any local stores selling Windows 7 64bit so I went with 8.1. With classic shell (for a start menu) and disabling a few Windows 8 annoyances it...

    Best Current Verizon Android phone?

    I got the LG G2 about a month ago and it's been amazing. The battery is insane. I get two days out of every single charge with 5+ hrs screen on time. My gripes with it is that the back buttons aren't that great even though I'm perfectly adjusted to them and the external speaker is shit...

    Nexus 5 won't happen on Verizon. The biggest network in the US.

    At the end of the day I love the G2. Just spent a weekend away from my charger. 50 hours of use and 4.5 hours of screen on time in the process. I have tweaked the UI and provided some screenshots for anyone timid of the LG UI. http://imgur.com/a/ybFdq

    Nexus 5 won't happen on Verizon. The biggest network in the US.

    I live in a capitol city with over a quarter of a million people. Time magazine recently placed us 4th worst in the country for wireless carrier selection. I have no choice at all. Its verizon or two bars of 2G reception. Contracts up in a few days. All speculation or evidence shows Nexus 5...

    Grand Theft Auto Online: Official Gameplay Video

    A big release like this for an open world game makes me really despise the 7 year cycle the console makers have implemented this generation. I hope I can ignore the zero AA and muddy landscape pop-ins. I'm fairly confident they will have some type of ps4, xbox one, PC GOTY edition by early...

    If the next gen Xbox has a "Always Online" requirement , I'll be passing on it.

    Lots of rumors need no reply from companies for relevant reasons. This is one that needed a response last month and we got nothing. I truly believe this will become a reality. I think at this point MS has invested too much time in software that implements always-on to go back. Or at least...

    Have bad pc ports gone by the wayside?

    There was a stretch in PC gaming that made me want to give it up. Gita IV, Resident Evil 4 and Gears of War come to mine though some will swear they worked fine for them. Coming off of playing Far Cry 3, Dishonored and Bioshock Infinite I have a lot more confidence. I guess this...

    Inexpesive but decent AIO Water Cooler?

    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=3474129&type=product&id=1218406315873 This little guy is available at a lot of best buys in store for around 70-80$. Pretty much every professional review is favorable including hardforums. The coolermaster would be my second choice.

    This might sound like a no-brainer: I really regret not using a screen protector.

    I'm not completely crazy. I've always used a rubberized type case for it. I've never understood hard plastic cases. Lots of energy from a drop can be contained with a small bit of rubber. Plastic on the other hand.... It's also smooth as plastic on the outside which is nice. My older droid...

    This might sound like a no-brainer: I really regret not using a screen protector.

    Apparently I convinced myself that Verizon hawking screen protectors with every single new phone must be some type of scam so I took to the internet to see what some people had to say about not using them. I came to a general consensus that a lot of users were doing just fine without them these...

    Anyone playing Prototype 2?

    I'm really enjoying it 10-15 hours in. I liked the first one though and even beat it but admittedly I'm drawn to these types of games. (loved Just Cause 2 and infamous) On hard its a good challenge and the freedom of leaping across the city and leveling my character is what keeps me playing at...

    Sony Trying To Patent Commercials In Your Games

    In a sane world sony would offer commercials during load times and you would get a 40% discount on the retail product. In our world they would force this and charge the same price.

    Devs Say Wii U Weaker Than Current Consoles

    Good time to get into pc gaming. Same graphics power now as you would get in 2013/2014 with next gen consoles and you won't miss used games because us pc gamers have pretty much never had them. :p

    Upgrading in 16 days, and the winner is...

    I wish I had the results your getting. I did have a hd netflix app but it flaked out on me like most people when it tried to update about a month ago. And it cut a lot of the screen out to represent a HD aspect ratio. From my experience on the Gnex forums I have a good battery life. You...

    Upgrading in 16 days, and the winner is...

    http://www.engadget.com/2011editorschoice/ Having had the Galaxy Nexus for a while now I can say without a doubt with medium usage you're going to see about 3 hours screen time on with the standard battery and 3 hours and 30 minutes with the extended battery. That's a 12 hour day. When my phone...

    How Louis CK Is Spending That Money

    Don't forget that he has multiple avenues to sell the content down the road for profit and royalties. Something that makes most record execs and producers seethe at the mouth. It's a great model for drm free and open entertainment.

    Official Galaxy Nexus Thread

    I will go ahead and say that I would be sprinting to the Moto Razr if it had a clean-ish version of Ice Cream Sandwich on it like the Galaxy Nexus. It's bullet proof in comparison to the iphone or nexus. I have a flimsy droid eris right now but it's piece of mind. But I'm getting the Galaxy...

    My Skyrim experience PC vs 360

    To get back to the thread starters initial issue.... I think it's pretty certain that you may have had problems with a driver or drivers on your computer after reading tomshardware's PC benchmark results. They are getting solid 50+ fps on a 5770 and 2500k sandy bridge on high quality settings at...

    My Skyrim experience PC vs 360

    Having played a few games in the last couple months that were cpu hungry I would have to say this isn't one of them. My e4300 is clocked at 2.6 with a hd 6870 right now for a reference. Game runs great. I have loved almost all gamebryo engine games. It's showing it's age and has an amazing...

    Kodak Licenses Projection Patents to IMAX

    I would not want to be any ceo or board member of kodak. I can't think of a single product they could produce that would catch on with the public. It would have to be something mind boggling innovative. It's a sinking ship, almost solely based on a dying industry. The only thing i could...

    Dead Island Co-Op Trailer

    I'm excited for the game being that it has a interesting concept. In my head it would play out like Crysis with zombies. In reality it is looking more like Far Cry 2 with zombies. Too dreary and washed out, messy ported controls.

    Adding 2gb of memory to a overclocked 2 gb system

    It's the same memory modules that are currently in my system. Same speed, specs, brand ect. If the sticks can theoretically match what I already have for timing and overclocking will it be a plug in and go type of situation? Thanks.

    Inside Yahoo's Bid For Hulu

    Yeah I've never understood the past or present dominance in yahoos online market share but you can't deny how popular it is. Only two years ago it was the most visited site on the web. Only to be surpassed by google, youtube and facebook. Can't really blame them for that.
