    Real Life Mirror's Edge

    I found that to be pretty amazing all the way around. Well done. Do you think they need permission to jump around the tops of all those buildings as well as filming as they run through malls and office buildings. Maybe they do it al after/before working hours. Still really cool, in my opinion...

    The World's Largest USB Thumb Drive

    Admittedly, I know very little about the old "big iron" kind of computer hardware, but that was really cool. Nice work by this guy.

    Legendary Celeron 300A overclocked @ +700 MHz

    I'll chime in: The 300A was what got me into the whole overclocking phenomenon. I have to agree with many others, good times. Now days, I'm much more boring, settling for relatively low overclocks with simpler methods of cooling. Also, most things run so damn good at stock... and with SSD's that...

    Patch Tuesday Update Causing Infinite Reboot Loop on Windows 7

    I'm a computer consultant... Ive now dealt with this (3) times since yesterday. Gotta say, it worried the crap out of me the first couple times. And on an older, slower PC the process can take twenty minutes. /s Which is maybe good, since I bill by the hour. Heh, thanks Microsoft! /s

    First Trailer for Ridley Scott's 'Halo' Series Full of Sci-Fi Tropes

    Maybe, I just have low standards (my wife would say so when it comes to movies) but it looks kind of cool to me. I'm just happy to see some battle armor on screen. And the whole "used to be a spartan" character seems interesting to me. Though, the plot looks to be a rehash of Halo 1: Going to a...

    NZXT Announces The S340

    looks nice... sort of 2001 obelisk-ish. And the price is pretty decent at $70.00 (per the NZXT site.) And, no, most people are not using DVDRW drives anymore. I have a USB DVDRW I picked up at Frys for $30.00 and I've only needed to dig it out of a drawer 3 times in the last year and one of...

    Dell Venue 8 Pro

    I just picked up the 64gb Venue Pro for $300.00 at Costco in store. Not s bad device so far. Great price and it came with the $40.00 Dell folio case in the box - so that's like $260.00 for the tab. Nice! Heading to Dell's site to order the stylus now.

    IB Availability...

    Just went by Fry's in phoenix, AZ and picked up a 3770K for $339.99. :) They had two 3770K's left at 10:30am PT. A bit expensive maybe, but they had it and my build was ready to have a CPU today! Just installed, booted and all is good.

    Duke Nuke Em Demo

    I never bought the Game of the Year edition of Borderlands but I did buy all the DLC over the last year. I checked my CD Keys and I did have the DNF Demo code. I downloaded it and played and though on hard and it was fun. Yes, the graphics look about 4-5 years old and yes, the game play is...

    An iPhone Class Action Suit Is in the Works

    I've had my iPhone4 since 10:30am, June 23, 2010 and I have had NO problems with it when it comes to all these bizarre flaws. Does the signal drop when I hold it? Yes it does. Did it drop on my old 3GS, yes it did. does it drop on my daughter's LG neon phone? YES IT DOES. All of us are on...

    Microsoft Research’s Pinch-the-Sky Dome

    The demo using the Nasa solar system and Hubble data makes me think of Star Wars Ep2 when ObiWan is showing Yoda and the younglings the Galaxy hologram projection, looking for Kamino. Very cool stuff indeed. Yay, Microsoft!

    51% of Buyers Would Rather Have Netbook over iPad

    This is a stupid survey... And here is why. The iPad has not been released yet. When it is actually available to the average comsumer and they can truly see how one vs the other performs for whatever tasks they want to do, then this will be a valid question to ask. Netbooks are out today...

    Symantec Says Free AV Software Can’t “Keep Up”

    I have been a Computer consultant for 15 years. Norton software is by far the worst software in the known universe. Every other computer guy I know feels the same. If one of my customers is running Norton, their PC is very slow and takes a good 5 minutes to boot. After I remove it, they are...

    LEGO Arcade Video

    That was so cool.... I had (and still have) a lot of legos as a kid and I played all those games! I remember begging my Mom for quarters to play those games at the arcade. Great find. Now I really do feel old.

    6-Core Nehalem Coming to LGA 1366 This Year

    Got my D0 running at 4.2GHz nicely on air... No real issues. Had to make a slight voltage bump to get it stable but that is all. Admittedly, it does run very hot when maxed out (prime95 8 threads) but it does it with air cooling. I am very interested to know if there will be a 920...

    Man With Knife = 1, MacBook Air = 0

    Woww... that was sort of crazy. I have four friends with Air's and I am on my second (sold my Rev A for a Rev B) and not one of them had the hinge problem. Not saying the problem isn't there, but I haven't seen it... (crosses fingers hoping he didn't just jinx his Air) Anyway, the problem...

    The 10 Worst Clichés in Gaming

    The dude needs to lighten up.... All those "cliche's" make games like first person shooters fun. As to levers.... showing a light switch flip, or a door knob turn is just boring. Levers give a visual indication that something just happened. I personally like all these things. Just...

    MSI x58 Platinum and Server 2008?

    That is kind of what I thought. The reason I ask is that my customer already has the hardware... they were using XP as the file server, but now they are getting more complex and really need the user security settings and will be having more than 10 users, so they will need server. They are...

    MSI x58 Platinum and Server 2008?

    Hi all, Does anybody know if there are any issues running the MSI x58 Platinum with Core i7 920 and running Server 2008 standard or possibly Small Business Server 2008? The web site doesn't list drivers specifically for server 08, but I think it should work using the Vista Drivers. Any...

    Homemade AT-AT Boombox

    Well I am a Star Wars Fan(atic) and I think that is great! By far, the coolest battle in any of the six movies is, for me, the Battle of Hoth with the snow walkers (AT-AT's). Honestly, they are not the most practicle form of tanks, but they still looked damn cool. If I had the skills, I'd...

    F.E.A.R. 2: Any Steamers playing it yet?

    Just got done with a pretty long stint of play.... Just got to the mutants... finally something difficult. My only complaints are the lack of a save feature... I hate having to play just to get to the next save... and the general easiness (sp?) of the game. I am playing on hard and find it...

    GSAT: The Geek Social Aptitude Test

    F.E.A.R. 2 demo coming tomorrow

    Played through it twice.... Only real complaints... Lose the film grain... give me a much, much, harder difficulty and, for the love of god, give me a quick save feature. Otherwise, I loved it and cannot wait to buy it and play it.

    Hi-Tech Punching Bag

    Intel's New Solid State Drive - Video Review @ [H]

    Crysis Warhead is playable!

    Possible GTX280 problem.. hardware or driver?

    Well after a lot of messing around, unplugging, replugging, trying new drivers, I replaced the card with another PNY - they just took the defective one back and handed me a new one. I just installed it an hour ago and it works dramatically better! Still a bit noisy (squealing caps or coil)...

    Possible GTX280 problem.. hardware or driver?

    Hi all, I just got a new PNY GTX280 card and I appear to be having a few problems. When running Crysis and 3dMark Vantage I get a wierd kind of hitching or lurching. I ran WoW and it seemed to be OK so maybe this is some kind of DX10 thing. Anyway, with Vantage, the first two...
