    Why Google is Terrified About Alexa and What it's Doing in Response

    I'm all Echos at this point, but I do wish they had some kind of youtube functionality. Been using mine since the 2nd gen dots came out and really like them.

    Upgrade or SLI?

    Definitely upgrade. SLI is mostly a waste of time.

    Blizzard Doesn’t Want Overwatch Console Players Using Mouse-Keyboard Setups

    It's definitely not a true competitive game. I think it's fun to play as a filler for a few rounds here and there. "Competitive Overwatch" boggles my mind.

    Looking for a "spacier" version of this image

    I was thinking around 18x24ish for the approximate size. I could just get a custom frame made for whatever size it ends up being. I didn't think about the text being so close to the edge. I guess I can just try to recreate it with some other art online.

    Looking for a "spacier" version of this image

    Looking for a version of this image with a bit more uh.. "blue" I guess? I really like the quote and would like to print it and get it framed, but can't seem to find a version that's really print worthy. Any recommendations?

    Teacher Suspended For Using Cell Phone Jammer

    I believe you have to specifically add phones to your microcell's access list for them to use it in the first place, and even then it's usually limited to like 6-10 devices. You don't just plug a microcell up and then everyone can suddenly use it.

    QNAP HS-210

    Anyone seen these for sale yet? Can't seem to find a retailer that has them in stock even though the QNAP website says they're now available. http://www.qnap.com/en/index.php?lang=en&sn=822&c=351&sc=514&t=523&n=20179 http://www.qnap.com/en/index.php?lang=en&sn=3541

    Really enjoying my new system, just a post

    Yeah I did notice the reviews on the PSU were a bit shaky, so we'll see how it goes. I've definitely dealt with my fair share of bad ones.

    Really enjoying my new system, just a post

    I ran a Q6600, 4gb, ram, and video cards ranging from 8800 GT to 560 ti for the last 4-5 years and finally felt like it was time for an upgrade. I was wanting to go SFF, but instead ended up with an ITX board and a mini tower. Here's my build: Intel i5 3570k Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe PNY GTX...

    Gaming Build ~

    Need help building 2x mid-range gaming rigs for nephews

    Oops, sorry about that. 3) I live in the US, in Houston. Fry's and Best Buy are the preferred stores. 6) Will not be overclocking. 7) Not sure, but will probably be 20" widescreen, not more than 1680x1050, 1920x1080 max. 9) Onboard ethernet and audio are the only major requirements. Will...

    Need help building 2x mid-range gaming rigs for nephews

    My nephews are 18 and 17 and their mother, my sister, decided I could build them two desktop computers for christmas. They both play computer games, with one playing mostly Minecraft/TF2/WoW and some video editing, while the other mostly plays Guild Wars 2 and sometimes WoW. I'd like to build...

    Recommendations for a computer used solely for playing videos and emulators on a TV

    I have a ton of old console games, but I hate having to hook up the old systems to play them, and then they look like garbage when connecting through anything less than RGB/SCART and they take up a ton of space., so I'm wanting to have a dedicated emulation PC to hook up to my television through...

    Need suggestions on cheap upgrades for low end gaming computer

    I tried to answer all questions that I thought were relevant in the sticky. I just didn't do it in a numbered list format. :) Yes, I do live within driving range of a Microcenter, though Fry's is usually my go to destination, as Microcenter is way on the other side of town (Houston). I'm...

    Need suggestions on cheap upgrades for low end gaming computer

    My nephews are currently using my old PC to play games on, and it's really starting to show its age. The old rig is as follow: A8N-SLI X2 4400+ 2gb DDR2 Radeon HD 4870 (512mb) The previous video card was a Geforce 6800GS and was having issues, so I found this video the 4870 on newegg...

    U2410 or U2412M?

    I've got a U2410f. I bought my original in December 2009 and it had an issue about six months later where the "image" would completely disappear from the screen at times and flicker, though the monitor's backlight would stay on. I got it replaced and they sent me an a02 and I had no issues...

    Windows 7 AntiVirus 2012 Malware is really making me miffed

    Just an FYI, if you're trying to help someone remotely or over the phone, you can get around of some of the pop up annoyance with the infection if you click the yellow padlock that's labelled registration or activation, then choosing the "manual activation" option, and then entering this...

    Wireless router that shows "real time" traffic based on IP?

    I'm honestly open to whatever. If it costs more than a typical router, which I'm guessing it will, that's fine. I just need to find out what my options are.

    Wireless router that shows "real time" traffic based on IP?

    I'm looking for a nice wireless router that will allow me to also view all devices connected to it and see how much bandwidth they're using, and possibly the total data transferred overall for those devices. I want to be able to cap individual device speeds and, to do so, need to see which...

    FS: PS3 slim 120gb firmware 3.42

    I actually bought a PS3 just so I could play emulators on my TV. Much more convenient than using a PC. I own few older PS3 games, but mostly just use the thing to play videos now.

    WTB: very inexpensive P3 desktop (1ghz+) - Houston TX area

    I'm looking for a very inexpensive yet complete Pentium 3 desktop system. The computer will be running Windows 98SE. If you don't have a complete system, but have a working motherboard with CPU+hsf that matches what I'm looking for, I'd be interested in that, too. These are the specs I'm...

    Is a Core2Quad still relevant nowadays?

    I've been using my Q6600 since May 2008. The only thing I've changed on the system is a video card. I went from an 8800GT, to a GTX75, and am now on a 560ti. Any games I throw at it are able to run extremely well at max settings at 1900x1200. It's been a long time since I've though "Wow, I...

    WTB: working 5.25" floppy drive

    I've got a bunch of old 5.25" disks that I'd like to try to read and see what they've got on them. Soooo... I'm looking to buy an inexpensive, clean, and completely working 5.25" floppy drive. Let me know.

    Boughta D5100, keep it or get a D7000?

    I ended up getting the D7000. After spending some more time with it and also testing the 70-300mm with it, it's just too good to pass up. It just feels like a faster camera in general. So now my next purchase is going to be the 70-300mm, and then an SB-700.

    Boughta D5100, keep it or get a D7000?

    Yeah, the main reason I'm going with Best Buy is because of the employee discount.. it knocks the $199 down to like $160... which is why there's no way I'm going to spend the $280 most websites are wanting for the lens right now. :)

    Boughta D5100, keep it or get a D7000?

    I do plan on getting a few lenses and a flash. I've definitely got my eye on the 35mm f/1.8 but no one seems to have it in stock right now. Nikon apparently is in the middle of a shortage on some of those things, so I'm just going to wait for Best Buy to get them in again for $199. Is the...

    Boughta D5100, keep it or get a D7000?

    So I bought a Nikon D5100 as my first DSLR. I love it, but I got to hold and "feel" a D7000 a few days ago and it definitely feels better in my hands than the D5100. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and spend the extra dough and exchange my camera for the D7000. Wise decision? The...

    Geek Squad Tech Support Service for $200 a Year

    This is actually not true. The people that you see in the store, yeah, a lot of them are retards. The guys doing the remote support really do know their stuff. They've done a good job with filtering out the people that just found out what a PC is last year, and they've pickup up the ones that...

    PS3 Hackers Unban Themselves, Ban Others

    PS3 Hackers Unban Themselves, Ban Others

    I bought a ps3 last week because of the exploits. I wanted to get one before 3.56 started coming pre-installed. With that said, I don't give a crap about playing ps3 games. I solely bought it so I can play emulators and mess with homebrew stuff.
