Exactly. They did a really great job with plants vs zombies 2. I played it even more than the first, but the in-app-purchase model EA forced on it both hurt the game and I'm assuming resulted in less income. I would have happily paid $2.99 for the game, but I had no interest in paying money for...

Truth. I was a refresh rate nut back in those days and remember the smoothness and improvement in competitive gameplay was huge. Feels like we've gone backwards and miseducated the masses about refresh rate.

You might say, Rediculous?

This already exists... http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/virtual-reality-headset-review.ars We picked up a pair at the office for testing and I was pretty impressed with the accuracy, not at all gimmicky. The one downside is you're limited to 800 x 600 and the screen feels a little too...

I've been rummaging through threads for the last two weeks and nearly came to a final decision on the Hazro hz24wi only to find it's not available in the US. It seems the monitor I'm looking for doesn't exist... can anyone please prove me wrong? Essential features: IPS Low input lag <...

Has anyone heard of a North American retailer selling the HZ24Wi? If not (which seems to be the case) is there an expected date of arrival state side?

Really liking these video reviews, please keep it up. The extra effort is definitely appreciated. :)

Take a look at the HP DV2700t series. It's got the 14.1" screen you're looking for, has a slick look, and a great balance between performance and mobility. The optional 8400m GS will run WoW quite nicely...

Whew! *crosses fingers*

This has been around since the 60's, and unfortunately, it hasn't improved all that much since then.

We might get lucky. These two evil empires just may kill each other.

I second the vote for auto stitcher above. It's been able to stitch shots where other software hasn't and the results are always excellent. It does soften the image a little, so apply some sharpening after and you're good to go.

Yes, because money lust is an issue prevalent in teenagers. Once one has reached the ripe age of 20 or 30, all temptation and desire of money has been lost.

The whole reason they get away with this is because of the free ICANN sampling period. ICANN allows a period of (I believe) 3 days to use a domain for free. At the end of the 3 days, the registrar can return the domain at no cost. It's this little loop hole that allows companies to temporarily...

Treat this as nothing more than a prototype, not unlike the out of this world prototypes you see at car shows. That's fine they aren't perfect because they're not meant for mass production and sales. Instead, they function as tech demos for a new technology, in this case, near seamless...

He's right on. I did a double check myself to see if you were talking about video editing. If you're on a budget, there are probably other things you could spend the money on that will be more rewarding (I know not really in the [H] spirit). As it is, format and do a fresh install of windows for...

Love the commentary Steve, I think I just peed a little.

New laptop, new clean desktop. Miranda / Winamp / Computer open to demonstrate skinning. Photoshopped the wallpaper stretching the left hand area for widescreen dimensions. I've made the widescreen aspect wallpaper available here:

Any word on how quickly the solar panel regenerates power? If I left my ipod connected to it, sitting in the sun, could it theoretically run forever? Or does something like an ipod generally draw power quicker than the panel can regenerate it?

I love Nintendo and the Wii as much as the next person, but to claim they are cutting Wii ad funding because they're 'responsibly avoiding further demand' is the silliest thing I've ever heard. Not even non-profit organizations put the community before the company. It's simply a matter of 'Hey...

Clever of him to use the word "bullish". While it could definitely mean they're confident in the PS3; based on pesimistic "have to sell 1 million units on the first day", I think by "bullish" he means bullheaded, or stubborn for throwing all their eggs in Sony's basket. Really, who says "we...

With al these big names taking big financial hits due to questionable patents, you'd really think there would be more of a push for a patent system reform. Has any effort or progress been made on change or is it all just wishing at this point?

No, AMD, don't do it. We all love and care about you very much. Suicide isn't the solution! If only there were a 1-800 number for corporations contemplating suicide.

QFT "This is fucking brilliant, use humans to solve captchas for you in a non Chinese-WoW-gold-sweat-shop kind of way." I literally started typing 'this is fucking brilliant', then decided to check the previous comments. This is the beginning of an evolution to the world in the movie...

I lived in New Zealand for the last year, and they're still well behind the US. I was paying the equivalent of $40 (US) a month for a line that gave me 1Mb/s with a hard cap of 10GBs per month. Once you go over, you're cut back to dial-up speeds. That was their entry level line, but the high...

On an unrelated note, computer manufacturers have reported a sudden surge in wireless laptop orders from the Norway region.

Some of you may have seen this before, but for those that haven't, enjoy! If you have a poor wifi signal or simply want to get the absolute most bandwidth possible from your wireless connection, take a look at this deceivingly simple antenna booster made from nothing more than some tinfoil...

This still works, just saved me around $700 on two laptops. Thanks!

bump, price drop

bump. current price now list in OP

I am looking to sell a complete desktop system, or trade it for a laptop of similar or newer generation (preference below). I built this computer for my brothers office in April of 2006. He's looking to buy a laptop and wants to trade or offset the cost of a new one using his desktop. $400 or...

Funny and gets the message across. Good find on the cartoon.

It's not often you guys posts links like this, but it's definitely something I wouldn't mind seeing more of. Cheers for the quality WP's!

Your comments usually make me laugh, and I do appreciate the effort here. But I'm going to be honest, that one was a little cheesy, Steve. :p

WoW. I got so into the game that I quit my job as a Real Estate Appraiser to be a GM at Blizzard. Anyone that has been in a serious end-game guild is well aware of the ridiculous commitment necessary to keep up. I was working the overnight shift as a GM, going home to sleep 3-4 hours, alarm...

Steve posted this earlier in the week. Can't recall the exact date, just fyi.

Buy a soldering kit for cheap and solder those bad boys back into place. Of course, this is when / if it fails. Good luck. *crosses fingers*

I love this revived popularity in MS paint recently. Not a bad job with this one. Throwing some pumping techno over any video makes it more exciting, even when its watching a guy draw in paint, haha. Though it seems like 50% of his time / effort was spent on just that gradient on the right.

In related news, Intel has reportedly made great strides in the fabrication process of their next line of processor, the 'Phiderman'.

No worries mate, glad you found it to fit your desktop. :) The changes you make with UxTheme are reversible. The only danger would be if you downloaded a theme loaded with a virus, but I'd consider that an almost 0 risk. Best of all there is no additional overhead in terms of memory / cpu...
