I personally would swap the Athlon-64 and the 2600K. The 2600K is definitely an awesome processor, but the fact that it was a big performance jump forward over its predecessor doesn't make it the best CPU of all time. The A64 was an absolute game changer and really upset Intel's applecart. And...

This is nothing but T-Mo trying to get Youtube to play ball with its unlimited video streaming bit. They probably want Youtube to pay for whatever bandwidth goes through T-Mo's network, and Youtube is like "Nah, guys. We're good."

Don't forget inventing a pointless new wireless charging standard called "air charge" or something like it, then claiming they invented wireless charging.

Considering how awful Perfect Dark: Zero was, I have next to zero interest in anything they might reveal.

Exactly my first thought. The Kinect was a decent idea, but Webcam games were never any fun and that's what pretty much all Kinect games are. Honestly I think one of the best things that MS could do at this point is to integrate a Kinect Microphone into the controller (and create one that...

They did indeed kill Android porting. But they kept iOS porting. So I'm not sure what apps could possibly be missing. Even with the iOS porting, I don't have too much of an issue with apps. I don't use snapchat but literally every other app has been no problem finding or finding a 3rd party...

None. The explanation I've seen is that Android units tend to slow down over time. iOS and WinMo don't have that problem. By porting over the parts necessary to run Android apps, it introduced the OS degradation that Microsoft was unwilling to accept. So they probably realized that the app gap...

HAH! Suckers! This is why I don't have a smart TV connected to the Internet! I use an HTPC running Windows 10........ well shit.

Although it was a cool video, there's a bunch of reasons that this was a BAD idea. The jet's turbulence could have destabilized those jetpacks, and they could have died. They could have hit an airpocket, destabilized and hit a vital part of the jet, causing it to crash and the jetpack pilots...

Tribes was great for all the mods. Never will I forget the Shifter mod for Tribes 1. The Boomstick was AMAZING. Nothing I loved more than setting myself up with a light armor (scout I think), getting a Boomstick, Sniper Rifle and Spinfusor, slowly running over to the enemy base, running inside...

I'm totally down to buy one of their new handsets, but I'm kinda screwed since I'm on VZW and I can't really change. :mad:

Wanting to "Save Xbox" by becoming like the guy that did his best to kill Star Wars... not something I think would be a great metaphor.

And they utterly failed to capitalize on the buzz that was created by "prime day." So much so that it wouldn't surprise me to see a LOT of those memberships get canceled after their first year is up. The sales were a joke.

This is one of the dumbest things I've read. Of course they're not going to hire permanently. It makes no sense to do so. But for those without jobs, or those who need extra income through the holidays, these seasonal jobs can be a lifesaver.

I can't even see his name without thinking "Derek Smart! Derek Smart!! DEREK SMART!!!"

Or, you know, because I genuinely enjoy the interface. I enjoy the integrated aspect of the apps that I didn't see on a Google device. I enjoy that Cortana integration now functions on my (multiple) desktop devices. And that same integration is on the Band I purchased too. I don't buy MS...

I have zero MAJOR problems with it. But I almost always have a problem once a day in which I have to reboot the phone (usually connectivity - when disconnecting from my work's wifi it won't connect to my LTE network, or when I get into my car it won't connect to Bluetooth). However, that's...

I agree that they need to go away, but that's just the industry at the moment - that preorders are basically kickstarters for them. Pre-sale a game, fund the development! Provide extra stuff that costs basically nothing to provide because they're virtual items! Even cheaper than running a...

I'm looking forward to seeing what Windows 10 mobile brings with it. Specifically, Continuum could be amazing in the way you're talking about (a computing device that one carries with you at all times). But it's a total chicken and egg situation. Windows Phone just can't seem to get a...

For the most part, I do. But I'll start with what I don't. The step tracking, sadly, is not all that accurate. It depends on your arms swinging to track steps, so steps that don't involve your arms swinging (such as hands on a cart at costco) get missed. The heart rate... I don't know if...

Yep. Lemme just find a cash machine...

Seriously! Why the frick couldn't this just plug into a cigarette lighter??

Again, I simply don't understand why they didn't do a proper PC delay like they did for Arkham City. I can only guess they looked at the extended revenue of Arkham City (amount of copies they sold * the price sold at) versus Origins and decided that although Origins was buggy as hell at launch...

So they make their money off of advertising (i.e. people using their app and service), yet they refuse to create (or allow to be created by a third party) a Windows Phone app because the CEO hates Microsoft. Yep. This all sounds about right.

If you're referring to the show, it would be an utter waste of time. That show is nothing but a flea circus in which the people that the "Boss" interacts with is carefully chosen, and will specifically have a "human interest" story so that they can "fix" whatever is going on in that employee's...

Agreed. It was pitched as basically "Xbox Live for Windows." What it turned out to be was a metric fuckton of DRM attached to an awfully run store that was barely functional. I don't know if it was a great idea initially that the games companies hijacked and made into the abomination it was, or...

Sounds great, right? Problem is corporate culture at Netflix is notoriously bad. Sure, employees there have unlimited vacation, maternity/paternity leave, but there's a catch: those who take it are looked down on as not being team-players. Performance reviews reflect how much time one is in the...

If you're saying you're not looking at the debt profile of a company you're acquiring, you're either lying or being lied to. Take your pick.

Eh. Even it its broken state, I'd still rather have a copy of Arkham Knight.

Fascinating. Accounts moved from EA accounts to Origin accounts. Later? Back to EA accounts!

As it should be. I have no problem waiting on a delayed PC release (as long as the company goes on record as stating it IS coming), and if the company wants to use some of the console sales to fund the PC release as well as believe that it reduced piracy (unlikely but that's another issue)...

Oh the parts w/ Batman will definitely be flashback. But they're totally setting up Joker to be the antagonist. He'll be the big bad that has to be defeated before the end of the movie, forcing the choice on Harley to choose between Joker and the Squad.

Nah. It'll be the prologue and show how the Robin costume in the BvS memorial got there.

HAHAHAHAHAH I think you mean the Steam users were the first casualty of this. Make no mistake, NOTHING will change in the industry. All that will happen? "So Steam does refunds now. That really screwed us on Arkham Knight. This new game is still buggy but not that bad. We know the nerds...

So a game company knew that the title was in a defective form but shipped it anyway to basically allow the public to pay for bug fixes at premium prices. In other news, the sky is blue and water is wet. Such is the nature of AAA development these days.

Oh I agree. I said the same when I saw the rumor thrown about on Reddit.

Heard a rumor today that Microsoft may be interested in buying out AMD. It'll never happen but I think that would be a GREAT idea for AMD's turnaround.

Honestly, I don't want to hear them say "Oh we've got 20,000 engineers working on it and we'll get it fixed in a jiffy!!" I want to hear them say, "We screwed up. We released a product that wasn't ready. We're going to fix it, but it's going to take some time. Please be patient with us while...

Bought mine cheaply from someone who got a GTX970 and didn't want the code. :cool:

You know WB will file an appeal, saying that since they've solved the bugs and performance issues (whether they have or not), the original reviews should be deleted.
