    Microsoft Reportedly to Debut Next-Gen Xbox in April

    You can see that Playstation 4 changed the game and Microsoft needs to move up it's announcement to avoid losing too much steam. MS has to really do something special. Honestly I think they have been a little too cocky lately so it is good to see them having to scramble a bit.

    Police Raid Call Of Duty Session

    All this drama could have been avoided if they just used headphones. How rude do you have to be to be blasting speakers in an apartment?

    GaymerCon is a Go!

    Exactly. This thread proves why it is needed. Anyone that has online gamed on public servers should be more than aware of the rampant trash talk towards gays, women and minorities. I know bothers you that everyone is willing to put up with you abuse. I also love the straw man logic of this...

    World's Most Ethical Companies

    Sounds like a great reason for them to be perma band form a list a like this one. It's funny that people keep naming companies they don't like rather than accept that despite their popularity those companies are operating more ethically than their competition. Apple is not going to make...

    Chinese Workers Get Screwed By Everyone

    My God there is a lot asshat attitude getting thrown around and wrapped up shot from the hip B.S. Look the fact is Apple has the power to change the conditions and pay in those factories. They will if this becomes enough of an embarrassment to the company. It won't even take a dip in the...

    Wow, this thread is really ugly. If anything the thinking in this thread shows why Facebook needs to diversify.

    Study: Multitasking Hinders Youth Social Skills

    That's optimistic. I am with Vonnegut on this one, humanity was an experiment and it failed. I seriously doubt there will be much technology in about 100 or so years. Just another footnote in the fossil record.

    The "Almost Got Away" Story of the Day

    Agreed. Calling Megaupload a piracy site is just silly. Next are they going to knock down the doors of YouTube? This completely ridiculous. New Zealand should have told the USA to sit and spin.

    Internet Addiction Shows Up In the Brain

    I love this sort of studies. What they never bother to tell you is everything you do changes the brain. People tend think of the brain as an object when they should really think of it as a dynamic, adaptive system.

    Why Are Smart People Usually Ugly?

    LOL, that was my thought I was read all of these reactions. To be fair, the threat starter didn't even bother to read the article he is linking otherwise he would have seen the article sites a study that finds... ...the opposite of the title of this thread.:D

    Good games that went under the radar....

    No. One, it hardly flew under the radar. Every game reviewer continued to pimp that game months after it tanked. The Joystiq and Giant Bomb crew were both guilty of raving about this game. It died because it was not a very good game, with an OK story and a very unlikeable protagonist. That...

    Some Ohio Schools Ban All Tech In The Classroom

    Completely support this. Let's face it, schools simply cannot keep up with the pace of technology to be effective at teaching computer skills. Kids are going to learn this on their own at home with the family PC, their smart phones, etc. What most schools really fail at is teaching basic...

    Hackers Put Porn On Sesame Street's YouTube Channel

    Honestly there are worse things. I be more offended if they had posted scenes of graphic violence. Sex is natural and rather than pump the ego of the fool that did this and think folks should take a moment to start that birds and the bees discussion. On the other hand it have great if they...

    Did Netflix create Qwikster just to sell it?

    How is it tin foil hat? It is blatantly obvious. In fact it is just how transparent and poorly managed this transition has been that has made it so clear that Netflix is flushing the disc service down the drain. Even if there was some reason to create a new brand name, the fact that they are...

    Turn a PC Off or Leave It On?

    Same here. There is no reason to keep in on all the time. I think that is an older times habit. Windows sleep mode keeps it ready fast and furious. Although my cat sometimes fouls that up.:D

    Carol Bartz Fired As CEO of Yahoo

    I don't know what kind of company you work for but where I work all terminations are done face to face and manager would be in hot water if they terminated some over the phone. Workplaces that treat their employees that way end up with a toxic work environment where employees start sabotaging...

    Scientists Predict Possible Ice Increase in Arctic

    Actually it is. If you lived in Southeast Asia or Venice you already be aware of the impact so far. The irony so far is the increased in sever weather seems to, in the US at least, disproportionately impact red states. God just keeps trying to beat some sense to you all but it's like pounding...

    Oldest Battlefield Player?

    He is not even close. When I ran a BF2 clan a few years ago we had a guy that was 83 in the clan. He was so old he fought in WWII. He had a lot of heart but he was a terrible player. He won a lot of Purple Hearts. But we loved the old guy. Never let him play in a match or scrim but hey he...

    Corsair Hydro Series H60 Liquid CPU Cooler Review @ [H]

    Wait, I don't get it. The Thermalright Archon outperforms it a cheaper price and is an air cooler. So would I pay extra for something more complicated, expensive and less performance?

    Does Eric Schmidt Speak for Google on Copyright?

    @Ualdayan I have to agree. I think Steve really missed the mark with his sensational lead on this story. Why would any other than Corporate interests want this law? It is censorship and will likely be abused. Keep in mind that many of the laws put in place for other purposes get used more...

    Chinese Gamers Face U.S. Troops In Latest Game

    Actually, I think better example would be WW2. We didn't have battle hardened or well trained troops. When the war started our army was still on horse back and about the size of Swiss Army. We bet the Germans and Japanese by shear numbers. We simple produced more tanks, planes and ships then...

    If will play Mass Effect 2 on PC, should play Mass Effect (1) on PC or Xbox? Steam?

    The PC version of ME1 is much better than the XBOX version. Stick with the PC versions, they will all run maxed on most machines and will look better have more mods.

    The Portal 2 Thread **Warning May Contain Spoilers**

    So what you are really saying is you don't like the Cave Johnson character. Well not everyone is gong to love up but giving this game anything less than a 9/10 is just silly. Without a doubt it's the best of the year so far. Your description sounds like you have not played the co-op? If...

    Portal 2: $49.99?

    It's quality that matters. Honestly, the orginal Portal was so good and with the custom levels had a lot of extended play. I would have been willing to pay that price but as others have said Valve just add more features and more content. It really is a no brainer. I think bigger question...

    House Votes to Undo Net Neutrality Rules

    No doubt, do you really think he/she was suggesting otherwise? No I suspect he complete agrees with your point and that exactly why the laws needs to be changed. Besides who do you think lobbied get those loopholes in the first place? You maybe right about other countries but you simply wrong...

    House Votes to Undo Net Neutrality Rules

    That is a really slipper slope you set up there. How does suggesting the government should regulate somethings the same as suggesting that those in government can do no wrong? No one is making that argument. In this case we are talking about government action that keeps something open and fair...

    Dragon Age II

    Yahtzee is a hack. You know someone is hack when you know exactly what they are going to say/write without having to even watch/read it. His reviews/humor at this point is all paint by the numbers. He might as well train a monkey. The output would be the same.

    New York Times' Website Fees Revealed

    Wow this post seems more like a honey pot for right wackos to stroke themselves. NYT is hardly a liberal paper. It's about as middle of the road as it gets. I think charging is only going to work if they start doing more actual investigations and fact checking rather than just...

    Crysis 2 multiplayer demo headed to pc!

    Judging by how few people are actually playing on the servers I predict the MP component of this game has already crashed and burned. If people won't play it when it is free why would expect more after it ships.

    Sony Wins Subpoenas Revealing Visitors to PS3 Jailbreaker Site

    That statement is over the top as some of the hype behind BluRay. The fact is yes, an upscaled DVD even on 52" looks pretty good but a BluRay does look better. There is difference even the average Joe is going to notice. I think what is different is that the quality difference between VCRs...

    No Support for U.S. Proposal for Domain Name Veto

    6-8-or 10 bit per pixel question

    You do not want anything that is 6 bit, fortunately, almost all 6 bit monitors are TN panels. 8 bit is best place right now. As state before most panels that claim to be 10 bit use it only for gamma correction and post processing. The difference between 8 bit and true 10bit is the difference...

    AMD Radeon 6990 in the Wild

    Ironic that Sandy Bridge is released recently, which is smaller, faster and uses less power yet our video cards just keep getting bigger and more power hungry. Even when games are not really getting that much more demanding. I think one half of this equation just doesn't make sense.

    SSD Crucial C300 64gb vs 128gb

    I am looking at two options for an upgrade for my and my wife's PC. Installed on these drives will only be the OS (Windows 7, 64bit), Sims 3 and Photoshop. All other apps will be installed on the secondary data drive. Because of this the 64gb version is more than large enough but I have...
