    ASUS Announces the Z170 Signature Series

    Will there be a mini ITX or mATX board in this series? I really like the black & white color scheme.

    ASUS Republic of Gamers Announces Maximus VIII Z170 Series

    Me too. Looks like we're going to be disappointed with the itx options. I wasn't expecting a special "pro gaming" brand in the lower tier ASUS. Was hoping the black & white would apply to the entire line.

    Apple Banishes Bose From Its Online Store

    They have also removed Paradigm and Focal recently. Looks like B&W is still there for now.

    HBO Considers Selling Direct to Better Combat Netflix

    :rolleyes: It's lower than physical, but far from negligible. Have you see a server warehouse? And I'm not sure anyone is going to agree to a P2P system the way ISPs have already fought Netflix over local peering agreements. It would be pretty difficult to make a P2P video streaming service as...

    Sony Adds $200m In Expected Losses

    I can think of at least one. These are not on their main consumer site, but the Sony SS-AR series is really good, but also really expensive, like 20-30K. They compete with other speakers in that price range. https://dealersource.sel.sony.com/dsweb/p/ar1/#story

    Text Message Cost Man $53,000

    Some states the donor will get it back no matter who breaks it off. It really depends on the state and judge. There are conditional gift states, implied conditional gift states and unconditional gift states. But it's pretty much guaranteed to be a gift in any state if it's given on any holiday.

    G.E. Has Discovered a New Way to Refrigerate

    GE doesn't claim it to be a new idea. The article even mentions it is not new. What is new is the alloy that allows it to operate at room temperature and the reduction in size. This isn't meant to be an immediate replacement for your fridge. It's meant to lay the groundwork for cooling...

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    Their ixLS case is resell of the Streacom's FC8 case. Streacom does a lot of OEM sales. I had a bad experience with Tranquil so I personally wouldn't do business with them again.

    Amazon Prime Launches 10 Pilots and Inks New Deal with Fox

    Nooo, I just bought The Americans on iTunes. Pretty good show. Maybe I should have waited for the Blu-ray. Glad to see prime is getting better though. I've seen most of the major prime titles on there.

    10 Tech Skills That Will Earn You Over $100,000

    You can make this in the big cities like LA, SF, SEA, DC, but the cost of living absolutely kills it. It seems like all these articles are written with living somewhere else in mind, or where cost of living doesn't matter.

    Anyone else having trouble ordering the air filters from Demciflex? Their site isn't very responsive. It won't take me to Paypal, just posts to a blank. I've tried several browsers. I can't place an order.

    Microsoft Was Considering A Disc-Less Xbox One

    I hadn't heard of this as I thought they were all ROMs, but this is interesting the architecture allowed for coprocessors. It allowed them to use a cheaper CPU in the Super Nintendo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Super_NES_enhancement_chips

    Taiwan Fines Apple $666K Over iPhone Pricing

    This is bullshit. Companies do this all over the world. It's called Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) It's what prevents giant retailers like Amazon from buying huge stocks of Apple products and selling them for next to no margin because they can afford to take a lower margin. It's a race to the...

    Colts Owner Buys All His Players An Xbox One

    Because nobody can do anything genuinely nice anymore without it being motivated by a publicity stunt. :rolleyes: It's something you could get the entire team (50+ people) that most would enjoy or their kids would enjoy. It's a pretty thoughtful gift considering many athletes seem to enjoy...

    Leaked Haswell-E Engineering Sample Images

    Also wondering why we aren't moving to GDDR5, due to all the integrated graphics these chips are getting nowadays? GDDR5 is based on DDR3 with many interface and controller changes. It's not suitable for main memory.

    Are you mixing or otherwise using special features of the soundcard? Why not just run the digital out into an external DAC or spring for a higher end USB DAC like the NAD D1050? NAD has some interesting new products in that series. The problem is at that price point you can start to buy some...

    Winamp Is Officially Dead

    And there is the problem with Foobar. All the fancy screen shots in the world and it doesn't look anything like that when you download and install it. In this case the designers made almost ZERO UI decisions for the users. Designing software is about making some decisions. It's too flexible and...

    A Mac Pro Made In The USA Is A Token Gesture

    CEO Promises Oculus Rift Won't Make You Sick

    This is the same stupid crap they are trying to get to work for the F35 helmet. It isn't working there either, and they have bottomless pits of money. The human eye has incredible resolution and I worry even 4K won't be enough to fool the brain.
