    Facebook And Microsoft Confirm They Have No Gender Pay Gap

    Ton of truth in that. I always tell them that they work and deliver in a different world than the rest of us. Pay is equal, but their stress is higher across the board.

    UPS Having Trouble Handling Holiday Online Orders

    There is a difference in finding people to say yes and finding people capable of actually doing the job. I'd love a link to that article though if there's an online copy.

    Verizon Kills Off Service Contracts. What Does This Mean For You?

    I'm still with Verizon for the coverage and maintaining my unlimited data. I use 10+ gigs a month easy, so despite it costing me just shy of $120 a month for 700mins/unlimited text and data, it's been worth it. They keep trying to get me to switch, saying they can save me money, I always tell...

    How Long Would It Take You To Beat The Games In Your Steam Library?

    Hop-Scotch It would take you... 2269 continuous hours (94 days,13 hours, 51 minutes) of gameplay to complete your Steam library. I'm a slacker, that number should be way higher! Need more games!

    UPS Hates Coming To Your House

    That would be nice, but your complex needs to request that and make that the policy. You may like it, the drivers may like it (they do), but the rest of the residence may not want that and it creates work for the leasing agents.

    [H] New Year's Resolutions

    To wake up every day and keep my priorities straight. Don't let work and future planning continue to take over my life. Don't let feeling obligated to family and friends wear me down. Make sure I continue to look after myself, get sleep, and do things for me. I've always given too much of myself...

    UPS And FedEx Buckled Under Holiday Load

    UPS SurePost. USPS, at least in this area, handles final delivery. They couldn't handle it, all of those packages where back in the UPS system for final delivery. That is a ton of volume no matter how you look at it that wasn't supposed to be in that system past a certain point. I said in the...

    UPS And FedEx Buckled Under Holiday Load

    This is correct. The build up is based on company projections. When someone like Amazon tells you 180k per day for instance, and then triples that, what you have built up, including the your extra room above that, just gets eaten up. That is one retailer, every single one seemed to do it too...

    Study Says Heavy Online Use Can Cause Anxiousness

    /thread I find switching away from news for awhile if I'm feeling stressed is a huge help. I like being informed and knowing things, but if life is throwing me curveballs, I don't need whatever random emotions the news is going to give me too.

    Verizon Sends Angry Letters to 10TB FiOS Users

    I went Comcast Business Class because I wanted the static IP and not to be hassled. Plus, if there's ever an issue, some dude is in my yard fixing shit pronto. Always to the top of the list because I'm a "business". The price quotes in the Ars article has me surprised he just didn't go with...

    Sony Says It Has Over 1M Preorders for PS 4

    Gaming - Capture - Streaming PC build advice

    Gotta say I just built one of my gaming machines into a Corsair Carbide 200R and absolutely love it. Danny is always recommending them and that whole series is a steal for the prices they ask.

    Research In Motion's Stock Falls 27%

    I loved my Blackberry when I had it, and I still loan it out for international use (Blackberry Tour with all the adapters etc). They really focused on the commercial, and I think that hurt them in the long run. Always gonna be a soft sport for RIM in my heart, just don't seem them surviving as a...

    EA Changing Origin to Focus on Gamers

    Focus where you want, I'm not installing it. I'll stick to Steam. I HATED it when it came out years and years ago, and they won me back. They put in the time. Origin is late to the game and started off pissing people off, can't do that when you aren't first.

    "LAN Party Tax" Hits Swedish Gamers

    Isn't there a tax or fee you are supposed to pay for showing NFL games on a screen larger than 55" and X number of people? Seems like one of those weird things that will only be enforced when you really schedule and book shit in a commercial environment. LAN parties greater than 11...

    Activision: Microsoft Needs To Justify Xbox One Price

    Wife and I joke about this constantly. All of a sudden the ads change from Game of Thrones (current theme of the artwork in the TV area) to Trojan condoms etc....Ok Who had sex on the couch at the last party?! :mad: We'll wait on the Xbox 180, we're avid Xbox gamers (I'm more PC based, but...

    Hey guys how is the 770 going to be like?

    Gonna say 450 also. 670 launched at 400 (50 higher than 570). I'm expecting the same increase. Would really like to see them for 400 though, I want to upgrade my 660ti cards. Edit: Much over 400 and I'll source some 680 4gb cards...

    Xbox Announcement Live Stream

    Activation fee for used games concerns me. Wife and each have an Xbox 360 and as such share games, we also share between friends. I really can't imagine Microsoft not envisioning a family environment with multiple Xbox systems when they released a family Live Gold pack. No backwards...

    New Bill Pushes For A La Carte Cable TV

    This is for the companies, consumers, and market to figure out. As much as I want to be able to choose channels, I don't want the government involved, even if they are just trying to get the ball rolling.

    Sony Not Planning A Major Loss With Launch Of PS4

    Florida Supreme Court Rules on Cell Phone Searches

    I agree, but if your phone is just the default swype to unlock, I think it should be fair game. You didn't care to take any steps to secure it, anyone can access it laying around anyways.

    U.S. Adds 200 EV Charging Stations in April

    Really? No Nissan Leafs where you live? See a lot of those, plus like 15-20 Tesla S a day. Our Fred Meyers have charging stations, bunch of little towns have put them in to.I'm in western Washington though. It's not normal here.

    Geforce 770 & 780 coming in May

    Depending on performance, I'm interested in selling off my 660ti cards and moving to 770s. We'll see how the performance change is. Always cheaper to stay more current while liquidating the old than waiting to long.

    Looks like its game over for OCZ

    This company polarizes people. Personally, I built almost every system using their RAM. Have some of their PSUs and SSDs. I'm on the side of liking them and their products. That said, if you can't run the company properly, and then start some Fed trouble. You reap what you sow.
