    Must have apps for macbook?

    I just picked up a classic macbook pro 13" (my first apple product). I have an iphone and ipad, but my main rig has always been a windows box that I've built, so I am unfamiliar with software for use on the macbook. What are some must have apps? Is there anything to use for monitoring temps...

    Upgrade Nvidia 560ti to AMD 7870 good or not?

    I recently upgraded to a 2560x1440 monitor and I think my 560ti might be struggling a bit in diablo 3 because of it. (I also run a second monitor at 1920x1200) I was thinking about upgrading to the 7870 which seems like it's at a decent price:performance point. Worth the upgrade and would a...

    27" 2560x1440 auria at microcenter

    I haven't been able to find too much about this monitor, but from what I could find it appears to be the same panels used in the monitors that everyone is buying on ebay (Please correct me if I'm wrong). I picked one up this morning and it is gorgeous. It does native 2560x1440 resolution out...

    New Ipad (3) - will screen protector reduce image quality

    I'll be getting my New iPad tomorrow and am wondering if I should buy a screen protector like I did for my original iPad and droid tablet. How much will it reduce the image quality of the new retina display?

    Droid 2 or Droid x

    I think that I'd prefer the larger screen as well, which is why I'm leaning towards the X. I'm just worried that I'll hate the physical buttons and that it may have much worse battery life due to the larger screen. Also, since the X has the same resolution as the d2 but a larger screen, how...

    Droid 2 or Droid x

    I am switching to verizon because my current service stinks. Anyone know what the battery life is like on these phones. Im also trying to weigh the physical buttons on the x vs the capacitive buttons on the d2. Anyone used one or both of these that feel like sharing their experience?

    NC10 owners, which linux distro?

    Thank you for the advice. Anyone have any feedback on arch linux? I've read that it has to be built from the ground up, but assuming the documentation is good enough, I think that would be the best way to learn linux.

    NC10 owners, which linux distro?

    After much debate, I ended up getting myself a NC10 and am extremely happy with the purchase. I'd like to dual boot linux on this machine and am wondering which distros people here have found to work well out of the box as I am a linux novice. Any suggestions?

    AAO has a loud fan?

    Is it loud enough to be bothersome while in a quiet room? I'm also about to start back to school for my masters degree, so I'm trying to make sure I grab a netbook that won't bother fellow students.

    AAO has a loud fan?

    I was almost ready to buy an AAO until I read that they are rather noisy machines due to the fan being loud. Can anyone confirm this? I'm looking at getting the 1GB ram, 160GB HD, 6 cell version for 400.

    Afer installing vid drivers desktop shifted left

    No, there is no software to adjust it. I think part of the problem is that after installing the drivers vista considers my monitor a plug n play hdtv, which it isn't.

    [H]ard guild in AoC?

    I'd be interested if I could decide which type of server to play on. I've always played pvp in the past but from what I've read, it may impossible to live long enough to do anything solo on a pvp server.

    Will this setup be good for AoC and WAR?

    Will the G.Skill DDR2 1000 ram operate well on this board since the spec calls for DDR2 1066? (Referring to the MSI board. It seemed to have decent chipset cooling.)

    Need xbox live arcade recommendations

    I've got a new addiction, aside from COD4, and that is playing the free demos on xbox live arcade. I'd really like to get at least one full version of something. Any suggestions, preferably something that you'd consider to have at least some re-play value?

    42" Westy + xbox 360: component vs. hdmi

    I recently got the 42" Westinghouse hdtv as I mentioned in the title, however my 360 does not have hdmi output. I understand that over component I'm limited to 1080i, correct? Is the difference in image quality, if any, worth trying to upgrade to a 360 that has hdmi output?

    Where to find cheap PC to run WoW for my wife

    Thank you for all of the suggestions. Ideally, I was hoping to spend around 400 since the game isn't very demanding, and I saw some good suggestions for that price range. I'll do some more research.

    Where to find cheap PC to run WoW for my wife

    Yes, you ready that correctly. I let my wife try the game a few weeks ago and I've had to pry her off since. As a result, I need to buy her a PC that will run the game so that I can actually play. Does anyone know where I may have luck finding a fairly cheap computer that will run WoW? I've...

    Gateway FPD2485W - Image "fuzzy" over component?

    I recently returned my 24" Westinghouse due to a problem with the product and decided to try the Gateway this time. Aside from it being very bright, when testing out my xbox 360 over component, 1:1 scaling, the image looks like it's fuzzy or blurry. Is there any way to fix this or am I still...

    How do I get the most out of my Westinghouse L2410NM?

    Thank you for the reply. No, the monitor did not come with that cable. I purchased it locally from best buy, so I have 14 days in which to return it. I'm sort of leaning that way now because if it isn't an issue that can be easily fixed, I don't want to spend more money to troubleshoot the...

    How do I get the most out of my Westinghouse L2410NM?

    Does anyone else perhaps have this monitor that can comment? I'm hoping the issue is something minor like a cable. If not then I need to return it for another model or something.

    Possible to use VM to install Linux in Windows?

    I've seen in a few screenshots the people have been able to run windows inside of a virtual machine from within linux. I'd like to learn linux but cannot afford to fully switch, or dual boot, at this time because I need access to certain programs that only run in windows. (Work related.) Is...
