    Yet another Asus rma horror story

    Well I just got and installed my replacement GTX 980 which came new in retail packaging and I'm looking forward to testing it's overclockability. Christmas miracles can and do happen! On a plus note I can finally run my dual 4k monitors at 60hz due to the dual displayport connections instead of...

    Yet another Asus rma horror story

    Woah, I don't know what voodoo you guys pulled but "We apologize for the delay in processing your RMA as we were unable to repair your product. Since we currently do not have your model [ GTX780TI-DC2OC-3GD6] instock, we would like to offer an exchange to [ STRIX-GTX980-DC2OC-4GD5] to accept...

    Yet another Asus rma horror story

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVTsFKJ2nJE I kinda expected the much vaunted official service center to be able to fix my 780ti. Trust me, they're doing me no favors breaking my sli with the 970 shenanigans, at least until the advent of dx 12 games.

    I disagree, they should have a stock of the card as long as the warranty period is valid, otherwise it would be impossible to service them within the 3 year period.

    Yet another Asus rma horror story

    I'm usually an Evga guy when it comes to video cards, but I decided to give Asus a chance when I got the 780ti. It was factory overclocked but was not pushed past stock, and ended up dying about a year into the warranty. I made the rookie mistake of getting support through the vip support portal...

    Roku Stick to replace Google Chromecast?

    Plex just opened up chromecast support for all users. Set up a plex server where all your local media is and you can cast it right to your chromecast, or any chromecast for that matter

    Second smartphone - torn between iOS and Android

    lol nice strawman, how about the fact that Android as active ports of PSP, and Nintendo DS emulators under development not to mention a great PS One emulation. Sure you can do that on a PC, but one is way more portable in the other. Combine that with HDMI out or miracast and you have a portable...

    Second smartphone - torn between iOS and Android

    Well on the issue of bloatware Android has the ability to freeze and hide apps, however if you do wish to uninstall them completely you can do so with root (which you will want to do eventually ;). I'd say apps are on par between iOS and Android, in fact there are apps that you would never find...

    iPhone not top dog in 2013 ? Android + Windows gaining.

    Uh Android accounted for 73% of all smartphone sales in Q3, not sure how Apple is on top with the massive numbers Samsung is pulling in. http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/14/gartner-samsung-widens-its-lead-over-apple-in-smartphones-in-q33-but-overall-sales-of-mobile-handsets-down-3/

    Verizon HTC Droid DNA

    I love the specs and screen, but 16gb + no microSD slots mean you can watch like 2 1080p movies to take advantage of that screen.

    Benchmarked: Exynos 4412 vs. Snapdragon S4 Pro

    Actually I would have still gone with the Adreno for the simple fact that Qualcomm is one of the few SoC manufactures that has good open source documentation, however now that Exynos 5 is on a Nexus device and Samsung's stated commitment to be more open I'd say it's a tossup. In other words...

    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    He was using some of the Assets that came with CryEngine 3 such as aircraft turbines and human hand textures. That's why he needs additional funding to come up with new textures and art direction. Still it's an amazing accomplishment to come this far building with default tools, I thing the...

    HTC J Butterfly

    Here's a nice writeup on Sharp's IGZO screens. Basically the technology was developed for power efficiency, and hands-on didn't blow the other screen tech (e.g. SLCD 2) away. With that in mind I suspect the SLCD 3 in the Butterfly and future HTC products will have superior image reproduction...

    ASUS Padphone 2

    Well the tablet is pretty much a glorified dock, what's stopping ASUS from making a HD version down the road? :P Besides, the main allure of this is not having to pay for two data plans for both your devices, and the lightness of both combined makes it a great portable solution.

    ASUS Padphone 2

    The ASUS padphone is officially out and I have to say it looks great. The new mobile tablet docking looks much sleeker than the original design, and it's packing plenty of horsepower. For you specwhores ;) Android 4.0 (upgradeable to Android 4.1) 4.7 inch 1280 x 720 HD Super IPS+ display 1.5...

    What can we expect for the next Google Nexus phone ?

    I'm most excited about the official customization center, it'll really open a new realm of themes for the play store while giving users the ability to go back to stock android whenever they want. Very good move by Google, I really think this is how Android phones should have been sold in the...

    T-Mobile and MetroPCS to Merge

    Yes but they also have the highest number of prepaid customers as well. I feel a fundamental shift will occur, I know I personally will be switching to straightalk once the new nexus arrives. I'm tired of paying out of my nose for sub par data speeds.
