I was just linked to this, it looks like a pretty amazing direction. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092348 Lots of useful programs being recompiled and ported over to RT.

My work offers a couple laptop options, but the only one that has both my preferred resolution minimum (1080P) while staying portable are macbooks (pro and air). Now we require windows to get our work done so anyone that gets a mac of course uses whatever the virtualization software is...

I'm looking for a mobile'ish keyboard that uses bluetooth and has a trackpoint also known as the mouse nub and many other names (the dot in the keyboard center). Something like this but more portable and requiring no cables. If it has to use a dongle then it has to be practically nonexistent...

I've been wanting to do some kind of wireless intercom for my house for awhile, but haven't been able to find anything. I've recently discovered Sonos (and wireless audio in general, not intercom!) and it's the kind of thing I've really been wanting to do. Put speakers in all of my bedrooms...

It seems like chipset drivers are needed less and less these days, which I'm okay with as long as it's true. For example before on an AMD or an Intel board I'd install the AHCI driver, northbridge/USB/whatever, or the Intel INF update, etc. Are these all just getting built in for Win8 now...

My wife's family wants to switch to a pre-paid carrier, but I'm having a hard time finding out which pre-paid carrier might be best in the smaller town they live in. It seems like all the major carriers work there, but AT&T/T-Mobile I think might only be EDGE speeds. Is there a website that...

Nope sorry I don't have one for you, but I'm looking for one. Is there a website that walks you through basically wiping your Facebook/Windows Live accounts and tightening them up for those of us that don't want to share everything about ourselves to everyone? It appears I'm being dragged...

(Preface: WP7 haters don't post here thanks!) See all three colors here: http://www.nokia.com/us-en/lumia900/?intc=na-fw-ilc-na-hero_home_win-na-home-us-en-236704 I right now have a black, my wife has the cyan, and I was able to pickup a white one just now because my brother owed me some...

I bought four of these and used them all of 30 minutes for a test before planning to disperse them to my other computers. This is when I realized that all my other computers only have one PCI-E x16 slot when I thought they had two. So there went my idea for upgrading them for cheap (they all...

A long time ago my WHS motherboard died, and I simple pulled the drives and attached them to my media center because I was busy. Fast forward to today and I'm ready to resurrect it. The question I have is how to deploy the three 1.5TB drives I now have at my disposal AND do you think I should...

I'm considering buying a new laptop for work but I can't make up my mind on whether or not I want to go E-350/450 or an A-series. Below is my list of wants in order of importance: *Battery life: I'd like great battery life, I'm tired of plugging my laptop into datacenter racks all the time...

Long story short, I have two video cards that by virtue of the slot layout and other cards also in the system, they are forced to touch each other along their lengths. This means they kind of heat each other up, etc. I'm looking for suggestions on some kind of "card" I can slide between them...

I recently lent my Mom one of my 360s so that she could try out Netflix. I set her up with a live account, a netflix account, and she loved it. I also tossed about 1600 points her way so that she could rent movies with Zune or something if she wanted. Later I discovered the Roku box and...

Currently my 7MC computer is using an x3 8450 (2.1ghz) and my WHS machine is running on an x2 7750 (2.7ghz). Neither was designed that way, I just built with what I had at the time. I actually need to rebuild both since I'm moving my WHS to a smaller case and my 7MC is acting up (I think the...

I now realize this is more a video issue than an LCD issue so I'm cross-posting it here (hope that's okay). http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1521402 Now I guess I wasn't entirely truthful, one thing I did do was upgrade my CPU/Mobo as well though I can't see how that would matter in...

I'll crosspost from this thread on the AMD forums just to save a little time: http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm?catid=260&threadid=131169&enterthread=y I eventually found my way to this article but I'm hoping for some easier fix before I go editing EDID's and stuff which sounds...

Backstory, I got 3x LCD's that can go vertical in case I ever wanted to play games that way. It turns out games based on the Unreal engine in many cases only work with vertical LCDs because of the way the engine works. However I'd rather not have to flip them back and forth regularly whenever...

Time to start teaching my 8 year old son the art of RTS strategy. In picking his first RTS game I thought it'd be cool to toss in some history lessons as well, so what's the most recent game that follows the Age of Empires/Empire Earth/Rise of Nations style of gameplay? Where you start as a...

Not sure why it'd be handy, but it's cool nonetheless. :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE_rDay9RJ8 http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=114050

I'm building for a friend and I've got roughly $420 to work with for video card and LCD. Here are my options: Buy a 5830 for around $250 and a 22" LCD (1920x1080) for around $170? OR flip it and Buy a 5770 for $170 and a 25" LCD, with the idea that he will probably add a second 5770 in...

I have a friend that is quitting a job and they are wondering how they can wipe their personal info from the drive without formatting it. Nothing due to paranoia or dubious of the laptop, they are just a thorough kind of person. It got me thinking, is there any software like that? Something...

My home network is laid out thusly: Linksys WRT400N dual band router Linksys 2x WGA600N dual band bridges 5x computers and an xbox 360 All three wireless devices are operating on the 5Ghz band and generally it's clear. Now I recently brought in a system I had at my office to be another...

So I decide I want to try out battlefield but it turns out I must have registered my e-mail account with EA forever ago and now I don't know what the password is. Funny enough my sister-in-law is in the same boat. So we both initiate a password reset and for some reason they e-mails never...

For those of you that are scared to mess with custom ROMs, the offiical Verizon update is out for 6.5: http://www.pcdphones.com/phone_downloads.aspx?bid=128&cid=1&mid=356&carrier=Verizon Has a new radio, newer BT stack, sense 2.1, don't kow what else. I will be sticking to MightyROM since...

I'm kind of hoping this thread serves as an information source that helps a lot of people out that are wanting to try Eyefinity for cheap (well, cheaper). I'm hoping to get a few options and pricepoints posted for people to choose from with links to hardware, etc. I don't need the highest-end...

Jump to the tl;dr below if you want. Let me preface this by saying I don't think this request is illegal because for this book series there is no audio version. At all. If there was I would buy it, if you think you can find it then please do. But since there isn't I'm doing the next best...

My wife's SMT5800 died and for whatever reason Verizon offered her the Touch Pro instead of the Ozone which I would consider to be a more similar device (same screen size/res, no touchscreen). The Touch Pro generally is a better device but the problem is my wife hates touchscreen phones. So...

I absolutely detest taking the motherboard out of the case when I want to swap/test processors, etc. But I also hate noisy HSF's. Does anyone know if there is a good 120mm fan HSF that only requires a clamp down, not a bracket change on the bottom of the mobo? Bonus would be the 120mm fan is...

So I have to say I'm kind of surprised I'm not seeing much effort on bringing eyefinity to the 4800 series. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't it all take place in the driver? Nobody's gonna attempt to hack it in? Yes you can only run two displays on it with most 4800 series but I can think...

Title says it all really, I have been asked to restore some stuff from an old PC. The problem is that he has a ton of redundancy in a bad way, whenever he reinstalled or moved to a new drive he basically just moved stuff elsewhere and started new without going back through all the old data and...

Speech-to-text for your WinMo device (though it works on BB as well). It's not out yet for all devices, but someone managed to copy the installer off of the one WinMo device that came out with it. It works pretty well and is quite handy. http://www.tellme.com/you...

I need one. Awhile ago Best Buy had a deal on a lapop with a 3200 onboard card for like $300, but it sold out fast. Are there any other deals like that out there or am I going to be waiting forever for another to come along?

http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/windows-mobile-6-5-review/ I know many of us have already been using it for months now, but today it's official. Here's hoping for rapid carrier releases for those of us with TP2's that don't have a working hardspl yet for custom ROMs. The MS Marketplace...

I ran several custom Windows Mobile 6.1 ROMs on this phone and it was great, but then shelved it when I bought the new Touch Pro. This phone is roughly four years old, originally came with Windows Mobile 5.0, and can still kick ass. My friend has a beater phone and I moved on to the Touch Pro...

Over the course of a couple weeks I noticed I seemed to be getting pretty low on drive space, so I free'd up a couple gigs by moving stuff I wasn't using right away to my WHS. A couple days later I was once again low on space but I hadn't really done anything. Then I thought oh it was probably...

"Microsoft My Phone" http://myphone.microsoft.com/mkweb/Start.po?mkt=en_US&ocid=eml_enus_WMTA_T_EM I've heard good things about this and finally got an e-mail that it's available. I'm gonna slap it on my wife's phone since all my important stuff is backed up via exchange.

So I have an odd issue I've never seen before. I have a wireless N network and I just setup a machine with one of my usb adapters that I've used before without issue. However now for some reason, lots of webpages I go to are scrambled code and anything I download doesn't execute, aka it either...
