    60% Of Mobile Patent Lawsuits Involve Apple

    60% Of Mobile Patent Lawsuits Involve Apple

    While this diagram is likely inconclusive, it does show Apple is more often the target than the attacker. From Apple's perspective, I see 5 outgoing "attacks" and 9 incoming "attacks".

    Did I miss something? Since when did a 2880x1800 IPS display become a bad thing? I'd gladly take one of these regardless of OS.

    Intel Launching Ivy Bridge Desktop Processors This Week?

    Unfortunately, doesn't really work that way anymore. Can only get around 6% by raising the base clock. "FSB" overclocking died with Nehalem/Westmere.

    7970 - Post Your Bench OCs & 24/7 OCs

    I was lucky enough to get one of the 1.112V cards, so I bump it up to 1.118V and run at 1125/1675, 24/7. The core was stable at 1.112V in games, but not on OCCT, but the small bump to 1.118V solved that. I'm comfortable there, since that's still quite a ways below 1.175V that most cards seem...

    Tribes Beta [H] players?

    I've been playing for a few weeks now. I was once a hardcore T2 player and Ascend is shaping up to be pretty decent, unlike that bastard that was Vengeance. Not sure how I feel about the freemium model and locked loadouts, but the gameplay's been pretty addicting so far, although it's far from...

    Intel's New Performance Tuning Protection Plan = Overclocking Insurance

    Um, that's exactly what I was saying. That was a comma there in my quote, not a period.

    Intel's New Performance Tuning Protection Plan = Overclocking Insurance

    I'm glad you brought that up - I never really thought about it that way. For those of us "mundane" overclockers using air or (normalish) water cooling, I can't imagine this would be of any use, however.

    Intel's New Performance Tuning Protection Plan = Overclocking Insurance

    Um. Excuse me? Unless I'm missing something, how would they know if the processor failed due to overclocking and not to, say, an improperly mounted HSF or power surge?

    Cable Boxes and DVRs Use More Power Than Refrigerators

    While there is a point to be made about the inefficiency of these boxes, the article does point out that these numbers are somewhat exaggerated: They are displaying the sum of both a HD STB and a HD DVR together. While they numbers are still quite high, they certainly aren't refrigerator-level.

    Windows Update Will Push IE9; IE10 Will Snub Vista

    Support =/= upgrades, which means they'll release security and minor update patches for IE9 for Vista, but you won't get the "upgrade" to IE10.

    Windows Update Will Push IE9; IE10 Will Snub Vista

    Well, at least on 7, it's "Windows Update" that looks for updates for "Windows and other Microsoft products" (AKA Microsoft Update on XP). That make sense though. It's most likely shown up only for those of us who've allowed it to check for additional updates.

    AMD ATI Catalyst Driver Performance Comparison @ [H]

    It makes sense that the 8.66 RC6 and 9.10 drivers performed about the same - the D3D driver is identical in version (8.14.10.0700). The only version change was with the OpenGL driver (6.14.10.9016 vs 6.14.10.9026).

    Hollywood's New Plan: New Films To Hit Homes in 30 Days

    With AMC breaking the $20/ticket mark with 3D Shrek, this seems like a steal. :p In all seriousness, it's about $12/ticket here and I never go to a movie alone, so $25 would be right in-line with the theater, except I'd be able to save on snacks, increased comfort, and have readily-available...
