    Microcenter LG 42" LN5300 LED S-IPS Panel $299

    I also followed the avsforum thread. 1) This is for 2013 models, 2014 models are starting to arrive so stores are clearing out the 2013. 2) Even though the posters talked about IPS models, I could never find any LN5300 with IPS screens ( in the Chicago area). If you dig into the LG IPS...

    Time to Leave AMD for Intel?

    Some games (Total War: Rome II for one) still don't multi-thread/task and require the fastest CPU available to run well. The current trend is to move the multi-threading to the GPUs. So this is going to further discourage developers from multi-threading their games. AMD has almost completely...

    Deciding on upgrade from EVGA GTX460 GTX680 ATI 7970 or wait?

    I would not recommend Sapphire anymore. I've had their ATI products over the years, starting with a 9800 pro. The Sapphire HD 6850 has been a nightmare. The quality seems lacking: Fan failure after 6 months and the RMA process frustrating: 2 months of exchanges with the RMA process. (1st...

    560ti 448 / 570 / 7850 which one?

    I just took a long look at the 560 vs 570. IF you are willing to OC, the 560ti 448 looks like a very good deal. Many reviewers are having very good look at OCing the 560 past 570 levels. Add in the price difference and you've got a good deal. I also looked at the 7850, but with AMD's...

    Foxconn Recruiter: We're 'Hiring' for June Release of iPhone 5

    It's been obvious for a while that a bigger screen is necessary, but is Tim C. ready to defy the Great God of Apple who always derided the idea of a bigger screen?

    Microcenter Mobo choices for i5 build, help please

    Congrats, I think you ended up with a good product. I went through your same eval a month ago and went with the ASUS P8Z68-V Pro. The board is rock solid, the driver CD was up to date and I'm overclocking to 4.4Ghz with hardly any effort (I'm running FAH 24/7 and the system has been up for...

    Best Buy Explains Its Leaked Apple HDTV Survey

    The point isn't that Samsung, Lg and sharp are bottom tier, the point is all these manufacturers make low cost models and high cost models. Apple hasn't sold low cost stuff in over ten years. _Everything_ they sell is top of the line

    U.S. Drone Hijacked by GPS Hack?

    But if you think about it. The US military is well aware of this possibility and (probably) already has developed solutions to counteract GPS jamming (at least this is what the paper is proposing). Yes if your system is _not_ aware of GPS tampering then bad things can happen

    U.S. Drone Hijacked by GPS Hack?

    Yeah, you're right, I would think you would have to send signals to pretend to be all the satellites. My point was: it wasn't as easy as "hacking a satellite". Based on the reports I was reading about Lightsquared, I really think what happened is Iran signal jammed the drone.

    U.S. Drone Hijacked by GPS Hack?

    [ That's not how GPS systems work. GPS systems need (at a minimum) 3 (and preferably 5) different satellites. To get a location. Furthermore, being the GPS satellites were put up their by the military, I highly doubt it's possible anyone hacked into them. Much more likely is Iran...

    Will BlackBerry Survive 2012?

    As a market and growth leader, RIM is dead. (Multiple day network outages don't cut it in the corporate world.) Knowing how many corporations stick with dead technology even though they should have abandoned it long ago, I would say RIM will be around for awhile.
