    LG Reportedly Abandoning Modular Phone Strategy After One Try

    I just got the MotoZ and so far it's awesome. I got the battery module and the camera and both work flawlessly without skipping a beat taking them on and off the phone with no restart or a single hiccup. I don't the concept is broken - I think LG's execution was. Motorola/Lenovo seems to have...

    Nvidia K1 Shield Tablet

    portal is also 9.99, and I already own it several times over (summer deals and packages) and I am not going to buy it again. Steam MUST have an android market coming out - it seems incredibly short sighted of them to not have one by now. Especially now that they are porting games to android...

    Nvidia K1 Shield Tablet

    I received mine yesterday. First impressions: the hand weight is a bit "heavy", but it feels very solidly build. it's fast - like holy sh*t spooky fast. I have used a lot android phones, G1, G2, S3, Note, HTC One, my current phone is a MotoX. I also have the shield handheld, kindle fire &...

    NVIDIA's SHIELD Tablet Starts Shipping Today

    I would have loved to see this as a 10" tablet, but I think it will be really good as is, of course a 12" would have been cool, but I don't think it would get the same market acceptance as a more "portable" tablet. In any case - this is a great tablet for the price. It has a microsd slot - as...

    Spintires

    I bought this game on steam, and was actually pretty excited to play it, but it has to be the most boring and irritating game I have ever played. I can't even really say which parts are the most annoying - I think it's a collection as a whole of driving around for an hour in the mud, getting...

    crash and burn

    Received a RMA from PNY. My request for a different card (higher or different model 670 but not lower) was met with a big fat no. They saw that indeed my first card died - and tech support did see that it was defective when they tested the rma'ed card. However they were adamant that I could...

    crash and burn

    Nope. house machine. The case fans on top of the case (corsair obsidian 800) all have Modright fine mesh filters, and I haven't opened the case since I put the card in a year ago. It hasn't been bumped or rocked. Directly above the location of the fire is the radiator for my closed loop...

    crash and burn

    the xlr8 line has a lifetime warranty - this is my second one - first one just quit, not as spectacular. The original was purchased August of 2012, replacement was around July of 2013. I am getting a little nervous about putting another PNY card in my machine. Everything else in the rig is...

    crash and burn

    maybe not a fire hazard - but it certainly could spread the fire - assuming there was a goodly amount. Certainly enough to spread it to a label (had one been close enough) and then once the paper is going.....who knows.

    yeah otherwise machine seems to be fine. However - this is the second PNY XLR8 card I have had. The first went back after little less than a year under warranty. They have some 'splainin to do

    crash and burn

    or more like burn, then it crashed. This morning when I powered on my pc my PNY XLR8 GTX670 burst in to flame. I noticed because my rig has a cool, comforting blue light, and the light coming from the box was an alarming bright orange light (flame). I immediately powered down, pulled the...

    Protestors Oppose Repaying 38 Studios' $75M Bond

    I have so much hate for this entire thing I can't even speak about it IRL. not a single person has faced charges on this. no wonder RI is ranked high (or low depending on your view point) in least trusted, least happy, highest sucide rate, highest rates of alcoholism.

    Massive Water Cooling Setup Suggestions Welcomed

    I doubt that this setup will be relevant in 5 years for mining. It probably won't be more than break even after 2-3 years as difficulties ramp up, and the cost of electricity rises. Also there is no guarantee that litecoin will be worth anything in 5 years. It's a huge investment. That said -...

I never have any dust in...
