So I successfully made a backup image of windows using the built-in native windows imaging tool. I then created a repair disc on USB which is part of the same process. I can boot from USB, I can locate my recovery image on an external HDD, however I cannot recover from it. Instead I get the...

I'm plenty familiar with what bootcamp is, and I've installed it a couple of times on a larf, but having never owned Apple hardware I cant vouch for the reliability of it. I've always felt it was more or less just a hack, something drummed up once Apple systems stopped being so proprietary in...

I have both PlayOn and Plex for my Roku, but unfortunately these services require you to run a server component on your pc to handle all the conversion overhead to create a stream suitable for the Roku to handle. I no longer have a PC for this purpose, so I'd like to just plug my cellphone into...

So we have a few yahoo's around the office trying to push the use or more Mac's since Apple's hardware is superior to all other manufacturers. Thats right, we will be installing Windows on every Macbook, just so they are using Apple hardware and not anything Dell makes. Plus they get to...

So I friend of mine brought up an interesting theory; AMD will be a better choice for a next gen gaming system because the new consoles all use AMD processors, hence better ports on AMD platforms. Thoughts?

I just noticed today that Google Maps for Android is showing what appears to be sponsored search results for basic search criteria like "gas station. ATM. Grocery store". For instance I tried searching for each one of these, well aware of where the nearest one's are, and instead Google pulls up...

With products like Acronis and Backup Exec, disc imaging has been finely tuned to a T. You can clone pretty much any system, throw it into a totally foreign box with completely dissimilar hardware and actually expect it to boot first time through with no problems minus an oddball driver issue...

The company I work for orders all new PC's from Dell, and as such they all come shipped with a pre-installed OEM version of Windows 7 Pro. Naturally we wipe these systems and use a disc image built from our Win 7 enterprise edition with a volume license key. I asked why are we paying the $22 or...

So I'm an old school do it yourself gamer who's been building PC's for ages. I would have never touched a Dell with a 10 foot pole save for my Aunt and Uncle who would invariably buy one and request support once per year, but of course every company loves to use them for the laziness factor. Get...

So I've been shopping at the big box stores looking for a good deal on a laptop, when I noticed none of them had dedicated docking ports on the bottom. This is a must for me. After contacting several manufacturers, it appears as though only their business line of laptops include docking ports...

I've long since complained about the mobile computing market's inability to grasp something we really need, and cut out all the crap we dont. CD-rom drives? PCMCIA slots? VGA ports? GTFO! Apple did a great job with their willingness to develop the Macbook air. Now that other manufacturers have...

I currently have 4GB of ram and am looking to upgrade to 8GB. Of my options, could you please indicate which you would choose and why? Option 1: G.Skill Ripjaw series - 4x2 8GB DDR3 1600 8-8-8-24 Option 2: G.Skill Ripjaw series - 2x4 8GB DDR 1066 7-7-7-18 Option 3: Corsair XMS3 - 2x4...

If anyone recalls playing BF2, you would probably remember that if you had anything less than 2GB of ram, the game would struggle streaming in new map data when you entered new areas. After awhile it would eventually clear itself. It came to the point where often you would just grab a jet or...
