    FAA Allowing Companies To Start Claiming Territory On The Moon

    I am pretty sure Apple already has a Patent covering: "Large celestial body experiencing rotational velocity while in gravitational equilibrium" So nobody is going to use the moon without paying them 30%.

For less money then Chinese take out for me and the wife I get to do exactly what I am doing now but with the Amazon stick instead of one of the other 20 devices that I have that...

    Amazon Suing Employee For Taking A Job At Google

    Some depends on whether you are let go or left. If you are let go then they cannot prevent you from finding new work, even with a competitor. Often a competitor is the only way one can find comparable work. In any case, non-compete should be illegal on the federal level rather than...

    How do I access the non-mobile site on ipad?

    EDIT: nm.. I found the "view full site link" and when book marked it brings me to the full site. I am all set. Sorry for the confusion. Hi, I am sure the mobile site is great on a phone but its crap on a tablet. Is there a URL I can use so I can get the "regular" site instead...

    Acer Sues Former CEO

    Non-compete clauses are crap. You cannot keep someone from working in their field. Best you can do in practice is a non-disclosure.

    Microsoft Hotfix For AMD "Bulldozer" Based Processors

    My understanding, perhaps flawed, is that the current scheduler puts a thread to each physical core, then comes back and starts assigning to multiple "virtual" processors ala hyper-threading. That makes sense to the intel and classic AMD architecture. The FX chips lose out in this scenario...

    Microsoft Hotfix For AMD "Bulldozer" Based Processors

    Here I was hoping I could find comments about people's experience with the hotfix. Instead its moreintel vs amd crap. Too bad. It would be nice to know what people's experience with the hotfix was before I installed it. Chris

    Why did you buy Bulldozer?

    I had not seen "walked all over". What few i3 vs 4100 (admittedly after the fact, i3 wasn't on my radar at the time I bought) benchmarks I looked at seemed to be about the same in the benchmarks of interest to me (for instance the h.264 encode at http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1766/5/)...

    Why did you buy Bulldozer?

    I was able to put together a nice MB and a 4100 for $200. I can't even buy a SB processor for that much, never mind the MB. Getting the 4100 with an AM3+ MB got me in the door. Performance is fine for what I do. My 6870 is not CPU limited at 1920x1200. My video editing seems well enough. In a...

    Amazon's $199 Kindle Fire Tablet Unveiled

    Based on what I am reading, there is still no support for Adobe Digital Editions. With Apps coming from Amazon, my guess is there never will be. I like getting books for free from the library.. I read them on my wife's nook. Without that feature.. this is just a color kindle. Looking forward...

    Dell U2412M

    It gets slightly better with the screen at 100%, slightly worse at 0%. Camera did not show any particular issue although I still need to try bringing it into Lightroom to play with contrast A white screen viewed from 3-4 feet shows no issues. I have come to the conclusion what I am seeing...

    Dell U2412M

    Hi, I just got my U2412M today. I am quite happy with it for the most part, its my first real foray into large LCD from my 20" CRT. The wife didn't want me to have a giant LCD in the living room where I had to move my computer.. so.. down to the basement it went. Anyway.. The only oddness...

    Just ordered the Dell UltraSharp 2209WA

    I did get in touch with Keith. Unfortunately his deal only works for Small Business side.. I need to use my Dell Preferred so I am SOL (again). I guess I continue to wait. Very frustrating. Chris

    Dell U2410

    I tried the code and it worked.. Unfortunately I can't use the Dell Preferred Account on the small business side so I still couldn't order.. Now the bar has been set though, nothing less the 20% off will do..
