    BBC Reporter Breaks ‘Unbreakable’ Phone

    I'm gonna say the obvious, this phone most likely had been taking a beating ALL WEEKEND. People were hammering nails with it, maybe jumping onto it, and etc. No matter how "indestructible" you might build something, Repeated damage will take it's toll.

    How PC Gamers Can Be Heard

    Instead of just not purchasing a game, how about purchasing a competing companies' game instead? Instead of just a no vote, purposefully purchase another game to play instead? Start talking about it in online forum, rave about how it has the features you want, post screen shots, throw a lan...

    Electronic Arts Posts 2Q Loss, Plans Layoffs

    I'm cheering this because they refused to help me replace my "play" discs that I lost when my CD book was stolen. "purchase a new copy" was what they told me. I would of never been in the situation to have to carry around a cd wallet full of cd/dvd roms to get stolen in the first place. They...

    50% of Businesses Will Deploy Windows 7 First Year, Survey

    I think it all depends on the software licening, compatibility with the applications used, the support services you rely on, and hardware (in place or possible upgrade) The last part of the situation is cost. If you can tie all those together and not drive up software costs, maybe you might...

    Apple Sees Win 7 as an Opportunity to Sell Macs

    Apple is just dreaming, if someone is not happy with hte prospect of upgrading to windows 7 from XP, then they are ust going to stick with XP. There is still support, most hardware still gets XP drivers released for it, and really after all these years the OS is stable. If a person really...

    German Group Plans Killer Game Drive

    My thoughts: The grief of these parents are driving them to jump to conclusions about the root cause of their children being killed. But people (including children) have been shooting each other well "killer" games or even the Atari. All these people are doing is going to cause higher profits...

    Intel, AMD File Motions in 2005 Antitrust Case

    I would love to see AMD win the this thing, but I wonder if AMD can stay viable long enough to see it through and collect. With all this legal maneuvering I just can't see this being resolved till 2012, and then when intel appeals the decision it won't be till 2020 that intel could be forced to...

    The State of NVIDIA's Chipset Business

    What is left for Nvidia? How about putting out that VIA/ION platform and see how it does. I would really like to see the third x86 chip maker have some more interesting chipsets and a wider range of motherboards.

    Newegg Announces IPO

    This IPO could be like if Google and Amazon had a bastard child. Reason behind my logic is that Newegg often is a better and quicker resource to find products and information about them than the manufacture's own websites. Heck if you search for a piece of hardware on google with the product's...

    PhysX on nVidia cards won't work if an ATI card is used

    Nissan Leaf Electric Car to Emit ‘Blade-Runner’ Noise

    I agree, silent cars are not a bad thing from many perspectives. As someone who lives near a major residential road (speed limit 40mph) I get to hear every douchebag that has a coffee can attached to their tail pipe (thankfully those are few and far between now days), every motorcycle, and...

    Breaking Up with the Xbox 360

    It is funny and has valid points... but it sounds like a viral marketing attempt by Sony to drop their Xbox 360's and purchase playstations. Maybe MS puts those high prices on their Xbox and services because people will pay for them?

    PC Demand Takes off Ahead of Windows 7

    doesn't anyone see a coincidence between pc sales being up during a period where a lot companies have downsized and people are going back to school on top of the traditional hord of HS graduates going to college? Add in a abundance of relatively low cost computers AND the promise that you will...

    Zune HD Xbox & MLS Series

    I couldn't agree more that the most people don't care about MLS. I guess the NFL, NHL, MLB, or NBA wanted way too much royalties or didn't want their logo's on a Zune. With the NFL about to start their second week, MLB winding down, and the two arena (NBA and NHL) sports around the corner...

    NVIDIA GT300 Yields Are Under 2%?

    These companies all have their ups and down. Back when Nvidia was pushing out the 7000's and then came out with the 8000's ATI has somewhat similar issues getting out a new GPU and then when it finally arrived it it wasn't very spectacular compared to Nvidia's offering. Eventually the 3000's...

    My Experience in Texas... I took a CCNA 1 class at the local college over the summer. At the start of the class there was three women in a room out of 24 students. There was a significant drop out after sub netting was introduced and only about 50% of the class finished course. Two of those...

    AMD Next Generation ATI Radeon Eyefinity Technology

    This Technology would be frigging killer if you have a few thousand dollars to spend on projectors and a huge wall in your house, then spend the time to mount and align them flawlessly. But besides that, I don't know if that many gamers would elect to go this route for displays.

    Lenovo Introduces Familiar Keyboard

    People like to trash on keyboard, clits, bumps, nipples, or bumps. But I find they allowed me to work more fluidly on a computer. I could move the pointer around the screen flawlessly without having to move any part of my hand away from my standard touch typing pose. The other issue is...

    BestBuy Charges $1,700 for CD Drive Replacement?

    This $100 back up fee seems more like a mobster demanding a merchant pay for "protection". This whole situation is a large WTF. It just shows that purchasing a warranty for a desktop is a waste of money. They could of saved their money on the warranty, and replaced the HDD themselves.

    SMB Study Says Give Up that Old PC

    It is just a ploy to attempt to convince the non-tech savy business owners to purchase new hardware. If your just doing office stuff I don't think that you will really get a huge boost from upgrading your hardware for most tasks. Besides maybe a Moral boost in the office when the old systems...

    Steve Jobs Had Liver Transplant

    How did this guy get that high on a list to receive a new liver? Normally people with a history of cancer aren't on the top of the list or even considered for organ replacement due to the possibility of the cancer relapsing. I hope the previous owner of his liver was a windows user.

    NVIDIA Releases OpenCL 1.0 Conformant Drivers for XP and Linux

    I was a diehard XP user till I got the windows 7 rc and you know what, XP is has run it's course and it is time to move on. Why are they even bothering with XP drivers still? So what about the current XP user base, I really doubt that many of those users would even know what openCL.

    Intel is Tonya Harding

    Intel might have better chips right now, but the real issue behind all this garbage is that intel would go to companies like Dell, and make deals that run along the following rules "we will give you X prices, and rebate chips you bought up from the year X till now if you don't sell chips from...
