    How to remove duplicate pictures from collection

    Does anyone know any good programs for finding duplicate pictures and removing them. I've recently gathered all of the photos from my computers and network and want to go through and tag them, rename and organize them. There are a ton of duplicates I know and I just want them. Thanks,

    MacBook Air 11"

    ^ i've def tried it more, and I think it's sad that MS office for MAC was the most exciting experience for it to date. I've really gotten used to alt-tab windows version of expose..so much so that I have a button on my mouse dedicated to it. As for the other multi touch gestures......meh...

    Tech Survey - Ideal Tech 'ToolBelt'

    I think you all are crazy. The smartphone is the one thing I would say is 'essential'. I hate to say it in front of the [H] crowd..but I think if I were forced to choose (thankfully i'm not) i'd pick laptop over desktop. The fact is that like many...I used to game a TON on my machines, but I...

    MacBook Air 11"

    Agreed. Repeated exposure to the the edges will lead to some 'raw' and 'tender' sensations. What's funny is that my dad just shipped me his '05 thinkpad t42 for some tuning.....it's FLIPPIN massive by comparison. Don't know how anyone was 'mobile' with them...heh.

    Cue sad trombone: HP Slate is official for... $799

    I think this device has a future but in a specific niche role. I don't expect a bunch of execs or normal business folk to have this at their sides, nor will it replace notebooks or desktops. The reason HP decided to release this is because it will fit into the existing corp IT structure well...

    MacBook Air 11"

    Okies, Under standard web browsing usage (and i'd imagine word/excel/email) i'm getting about 5.5 hours per charge. I tested it yesterday, charged and then again today where the device was passed around from person to person at my sibling's place. Again..thats rough..but the W7 battery...

    MacBook Air 11"

    Hi all, I thought I'd post my initial thought of the MacBook Air - Windows Style Firstly, I should say that I had an HP mininote that I loved, but it just died on me. It was great, but pretty slow and took forever to come out of hibernation or to bootup (via c7 proc) because it was one of...

    So the absolutes for me are: Smart Phone Desktop HTPC HomeServer The issue I have is balancing the tablet/ultra port/ laptop situation. Right now i've a 15" work laptop and a tablet. The issue is whether or not to get an ultraportable laptop (for when i'm not working).

    TigerDirect.com Deals 6/11 – 6/14

    Just built a system (on wednesday) with the 800D...far and away the best case I've ever had (and i've had plenty). I had a brand new x58/i7 system built from scratch in about 40 minutes..and it looks better than builds i've spent DAYS building. A+++++++

    FS/FT Old but Good Tech Blowout Sale

    Lots of people asking prices. $$ is fine (no reasonable offer refused) but I would rather trade for stuff that may be more useful: 1) HDDs (Pref SATA) 2) Games of the PC, PS3, 360 persuasions. 3) Periphs like Mice, Webcams, etc. 4) Cameras (i need a point and shoot). etc..i'm open to...

    Thanks All. I have tried the different ports, that does not work. The RDP method works, but is certainly not ideal....it is what I use today. Oh well.

    Router: Remote Managment

    Hi All. I have a network that (amongst other things) consists of a D-Link DGL4300 and an older D-Link DI624. The cable modem connects to the 4300, and I can remotely manage my 4300 from anywhere using a non-standard port. The 624 is hooked up like a switch (nothing going into the WAN...

    ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution Sneak Peek

    So, edumacate an idjit here. X1 cards will fit into the full length PCI-E slots right? If they could just get rid of that ps2 port, we are legacy free. I think I am going to really give this board a try. Too many hassles with the ROG line from asus lately and I am too lazy to tweak a...

    BB Storm: OTA Update -> .75

    All, I am in the middle of upgrading my BB Storm from an OTA update. So far, things seem to be going well. If you hate BB Desktop as much as me, you will want to update the OS without linking it to your computer, here is how to do it! 1) Go to options\advanced options\service books. 2)...

    BlackBerry Storm - Mini review

    My battery life (like the performance) has gotten better. I can now go about 1.5 days on a single charge with regular usage in a work scenario (75% desktime, 25% out and about time). On average, I would say I spend 30-45 mins on the phone per day. When I first got it, it was a little nervous...

    BB Storm update? (.75)

    Yeah, When it gets released, you will essentially need to update it through the BB desktop software. It's not publicly available yet...should be in the next week. Thanks,

    BlackBerry Storm - Mini review

    For me, changing between screens and apps is speedy enough. There is definately a lag, but it's not noticeable for me at this point, since I am usually still processing how exactly to do what I want. I have a feeling as my brain rewires itself, the lag will seem a little longer. What I can...

    BlackBerry Storm - Mini review

    I hate to start a new thread, but the other storm threads seemed to be all over the place. Firstly, before reading furthrer I would check out the review roundup at crackberry.com to get a good idea of what people are saying. Preface: My BB history includes 8700->Curve->Storm...

    BlackBerry Storm's "clickable" touch screen?

    I do agree with your reasoning, but I think most of us believe that the situation you present is the exception and not the norm. From blackberry's perspective, I think it makes sense to present a product that is as accessible as possible to the widest range of users in their target demo. For...

    BlackBerry Storm's "clickable" touch screen?

    We are close, children! Soon the storm will be upon us and all will be well. I am just super excited that my idjit iphone yapping family will ooo and ahhh over the holidays. My dad is going to be hating on me for sure. When the see the clicking touchscreen, they will pretend like it's...

    Sony Bash!

    I feel like the montecito guys must have.... OK, firstly, I think we can safely assume that this was more of a licenseing thing and not a being a 'dick' thing. The issue is that if Sony does anything (except PS3 hardware) including the licencing of movies, they do so for profit, so there is...

    BlackBerry Storm's "clickable" touch screen?

    mmm tasty flamebait...i'll bite! Ok, so firstly, to say that a clickable touchscreen is a gimmick is outright ree-donk-ulous. I hardly think that RIM would risk this much on a gimmick. I think what they have likely achieved is close to zen for that increasing segment of the population that...

    BlackBerry Storm's "clickable" touch screen?

    Best buy did not say anything official. It was more of a best guess/reading tea-leafs thingy. As for the release date, a few rumors of 11/17 have been published online. Pricing, well, we think that VZW will want to directly compete with the iphone, and the rumors were that the phone would...

    BlackBerry Storm's "clickable" touch screen?

    I pre-ordered mine today from Best Buy. They want a $54 deposit (they tax the $50) which is applicable to the price of the phone. The price and release date are unknown at this time, but they are projecting a $199-$249 price tag with a 11/17 delivery date. I am fairly pumped about this...

    Silent Hill: Homecoming

    I am also wondering that. I picked it up yesterday as well. It does not waste any time throwing you into madness. So far I like. I think the reason for the low score is that you can play the game in two different ways. You can some home on a bright and sunny afternon pop on the game with...

    Silent Hill: Homecoming

    So the word in the net is really schitzo on this title. Some say it's as pure and scary as the original and others say it's a cheap knock-off. Some say resources and ammo are scarce, others say it plays like quake3. Please let us know your thoughts on this game, and whether you have played...

    HTC Touch HD

    For those of you on Blackberries thinking of swicthing to WinMo there are a few things to be aware of: 1) The TouchFlo 3D interface is geougous. It will work better on some phones than others depending on configuation and carrier. The TouchHD will be the smoothest followed by the sprint...
