So does this mean that AMD is done being a douche?

A YouTuber with nearly 3,000,000 viewers, who likely rakes in a 7 figure salary, as a result?

Adorable. Guy controls the products he covers because he doesn't want to be an asshole by ripping a product a new one (there are plenty of other places that do this), and that makes his content "commercials." I would say a full 50-60% of the content on the LinusTechTips YouTube channel is not...

Yes, yes you are. This is about AMD's douchey PR/PR people, not about getting a sample or not.

This is painful to read. https://twitter.com/brianfagioli/status/642140702424469504

Should you wish to voice your displeasure with AMD over this situation, I recommend a professional and strongly-worded email to the following email addresses: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]...

Jason Evangelho (Forbes Tech) had a series of Tweets directly in response to this: https://twitter.com/killyourfm/status/641811236137533440 Linus Sebastian also touched on this, briefly: https://twitter.com/LinusTech/status/641834758738022400

Acer makes the Iconia W510 x86 with 32GB SSD for $500. It isn't rocking a Core i5, but then again I wouldn't expect a $500 device to rock a $250 processor. And it'd run circles around that child's toy you call an Android tablet...

This makes you sound like some sort of super douche.

I don't know that they're priced out of any market. The Lenovo Yoga 13 is the same price, albeit at what almost feels like a sale price (it's $1100 on their site, for an i3 I believe, and $1000 at Best Buy for an i5), with identical specs, minus a lower res screen. The Dell XPS 12 is $1200...

I still can't believe DangerDen had to close. Talk about a staple of the hardware community. If MonoPrice or FrozenCPU close, that's it, I'm turning Amish.

Five seconds off of an R8. Not bad.

Same here. Last I read, you could enable "classic" (i.e. Windows 7) aesthetics in Windows 8 but only in the dev previews, and when it hits retail you had to use Metro and couldn't turn it off. If this is true, I'll be using Windows 7 for a loooooooooooong time.

The new iPad is also $500, versus $200. Some consolations had to be made. ;)

Agreed. And I was impressed with how responsive this thing looks. When you see cheaper tablets at Best Buy, etc they are always fairly laggy. I could see actually picking one of these up if I were in the market for a tablet.

I've had my P280 for about six months now - after not having owned a desktop for five and a half years, I was looking for a substantial case to house what would eventually turn into a medium/high-end system. I love this case, it has the perfect amount of cooling, space, it's crazy what they do...

Who's holding what wrong? :confused:

I own my phone based on app quality and availability. I couldn't care less about Apple, I hope Steve Jobs dies of cancer, etc. I also don't currently have a use for a technology that isn't widely (or at all) available where I live or travel. In a year or two, then I'll care. And I'll also own a...

My complaint with Android is with the overall user experience as a whole. Again, you shouldn't have to buy a specific phone for your shit to work properly. The fact any phone is allowed to be sold with sub-par hardware (a large portion of the phones sold, I imagine) or with UIs and other custom...

Also before I got the link from Steve to this thread, it had been at least five years since I set foot into Hard Forum for more than half a minute, and I forgot how... feisty you guys can get. ;)

Oh, I'm not saying it won't be coming to my area, just that it isn't in my area yet, and won't be prevalent for a year or two, therefore I don't care about it. I fully intend to continue renewing yearly to get the OC price on phones, so I can get a new phone every year for $200, so the iPhone 5...

I sync my GMail account just fine with my iPhone 4, and Google Maps actually works better on my iPhone 4 than any of the Android phones I've used. Aside from about five minutes in downtown Chicago, I have yet to see 4G be available anywhere I am (live in Green Bay), so that isn't a huge selling...

Sigh.

No. The iPhone 3G (nearly three years old) runs OS 4. The iPhone 3GS (nearly two years old) runs 4 and every app or game I've tried fluently, except for some light stuttering in Aralon and Infinity Blade, both games that are probably in the highest of high end RE: system requirements. Try...

Also, I'm hardly a troll. If you didn't read my previous post, these types of delays (which are very much real, and when happen make texting impossible) are what drove us to switch to a carrier with recognized overall crappy coverage and using a phone from a company I still regard in the PC...

My bad, one title that doesn't use the engine to it's potential qualifies as "a title", I forgot. And I'm sorry, when my phone has 512MB of RAM and only 80MB of it are free, I tend to obsessively use the task killer which in my experience makes things faster, but what would I know apparently...

We've had 7 or 8 in the past year (had a few on Verizon then realized we hated the phones, cancelled and got iPhones, loved them to death, moved to an area with crap AT&T coverage so figured we'd try Sprint, five phones later we said we'd rather have great phones and poor reception than the...

+1. F having phones that aren't laggy in basic menus, and have wide selections of quality software. F them!

I think it's more of a principle than anything else. 2.3 came out nearly half a year ago, 2.2 a year ago, and 2.1 a year and a half ago. Why a brand new phone can't come out with a six month old piece of software I don't know, but it wouldn't kill Android to be a little less so-called "open" in...

Up until a month or so ago the Samsung Epic was sold with Android 2.1. That's just embarrassing.

The original iPhone (aka "2G") is also nearly four years old. At least they aren't selling brand new phones for $200 on contract (*cough*Samsung Epic*cough*) that up until a month ago came with Android 2.1, when 2.2 came out literally almost a full year ago.

Hey, as long as I'm getting my phone OS's updates the day they come out, and not having to wait a year, I'll happily plug my IP4 into my laptop a couple times a year for twenty minutes. I'd rather not have to choke down a 700MB update on my phone, even on Wifi. It's bad enough installing a 1GB...

It is innovative when your OS updates are 2/3 of a GIG.

Which makes it a good thing that the money is being spent in the Apple App Store, where there is not only currently the highest quantity but easily the highest quality. I have probably a dozen prominent iOS developers "Like'd" on Facebook, and you constantly see posts by people begging them...

Jeeze, and I was proud of the $11,000 I've spent on my personal account. =(
