LCD is a horrible technology for gaming, but consumers want everything to be thin and retailers love that they can fit 100 of them per pallet. Display makers don't give a crap about QA either since most people will accept just about anything that forms a color image. So, good luck. There's...

Quality issues are a given with EIZO gaming monitors. You are practically guaranteed to get a one with issues because it's where they dump the panels from other models that have defects of some kind. Class-action lawsuit, if you ask me. In this case, EZIO's idea behind the FG2421 was to...

Within 5 seconds of watching that I noticed his panel is clearly different than the one I received. On mine, panel uniformity was horrendous.The upper portion of the screen would look dark and crushed, while the bottom was bright and washed out. His looks pretty even and not bad. This...

Returning it for a refund. The real shame is they don't make CRTs anymore. This was my first TN panel in 12 years, and, from what I saw, I wouldn't be happy. Gsync is awesome though. Maybe in 40 or 50 years they'll have something better to put it on.

Mine arrived yesterday. Gsync is awesome (no going back now), but the panel I got is a piece of shit. The top left quadrant is extremely dark and crushes all colors, while the bottom third is too bright. The only spot that looks normal is the upper right. This waste of $600 is going...

I bought one of these from B&H a while back, but didn't get a very good one. Mine has lots of cross hatching, and noticeable gamma issues on the right side. I have to crush the blacks to help get rid it, and even then its still there. I'm not happy with this monitor, but I can definitely see the...

Then put the 750GB drive in an OWC Data Doubler. ($45 vs $170)

From a budget minded perspective, you could just keep the 750GB drive in the MBP and transfer files between your desktop directly using their gigabit ethernet ports. Surely you have a spare cable somewhere.

I didn't want to upgrade from SL to Mountain Lion either, but now that I did I would never go back. Having FaceTime, Messages, and full screen apps alone was worth every penny. As for Apple losing its "wow" and iOS becoming stale, I hear it all over the internet but I don't understand it. I...

Understandable, but your PC can still be useful without requiring much of your time. I'm finding the combination of a high performance PC and an iPad mini to be ideal. 90% of the time my PC would be overkill, so it's now dedicated almost exclusively to various Boinc projects and I game maybe...

I had the opposite problem. After 12 years of being a daily Mac user, I wanted tons of computing power without spending tons of cash. My advice is never spend more than $1500 for a Mac, and never spend more than $500 on an iOS device. Much more than that, and it really becomes hard to justify...

Yes, that's correct. It was a typo on my part. The later Ti models max out at 10.5.8

If it's a Ti Powerbook, it's older than 6 years. The original Ti Powerbooks (released in 2001) max out at 10.4.11; however, the later Ti models (released in '02 and discontinued in '03) are able to use Snow Leopard. Back in the day they did well, but I wouldn't recommend using even the G5 iMac...

+1 The best solution would be a high quality AR coating on the front glass. Something similar to what's applied to modern refracting telescope lenses. In direct sunlight, their glass practically disappears.

Ok, so what would you rather do after replacing your hard drive. Download a shit load of updates for 10.6, or download 10.7? Me thinks the later, but who am I to judge.

The point is optical media is on the way out, and, once installed, Lion never needs to be re-downloaded. You reinstall it by restarting with the Option key pressed, and booting into the recovery partition it created.

Actually, it's pretty cool. You pay for Lion once, and can then install it on all your authorized Macs until your blue in the face. And, once Lion is installed, you never have to re-download it.

I wouldn't go that far. The m11x has a switchable GT335M GPU with 1GB of dedicated RAM, and it's system memory is expandable to 8GB instead of forever stuck at 2GB. It's the next generation of MacBooks.

I'd go with the 13" MBP over a MBA. It's faster, has better battery life, has more ports, has a built-in SuperDrive, the hard drive and memory are user upgradable, has an illuminated keyboard, etc. All that, and it cost less to.

Waiting months for a minor refresh makes no sense. If you're going to wait, then wait until OS 10.7 comes pre-installed. Otherwise, you're still in the same boat as everyone else when its released.

You'll find it here, under NVArt II.

I use itunes to play a handful of radio stations and to keep my iphone updated to the newest version of ios. Other than that, they can fuck it up all they want.

What the fuck, one more. So yeah; 2010 mac mini / 30" Cinema Display

2010 mac mini / 30" cinema display

Safari. I don't see the need for browser redundancy in OS X.

Don't buy an imac on the assumption that its display will somehow be as perfect as the rest of the machine. I returned several for display issues before figuring out a mini with a 30" cinema display was a surer bet. YMMV

The removable storage is expandable, but the internal memory (where Android's apps are installed and ran from) is a paltry 512MB and not expandable.

A tablet Macbook with a full install of OS X and pen based input is nothing new. In fact, the Modbook has been around for years, but has never caught on or done much to change things. For one, it's expensive. Though more significantly it's because it uses the same failed approach that other...

That's not game changing.

Of course, but the truth is the iPhone is an iPhone, and the Droid is just an anti-iPhone right now. They even market it as such, with their "Droid Does" commercials, which plays right into the minds of the crowd they're after.

ATT might suck, but so does Verizon. They charge about $2000 per year for the Droid on an Unlimited plan. That's just fucking nuts.

GCD is like any other API - developers need to write specific code in their application to implement its functionality.

Not to mention all the fruity imac and ibook color combinations back in the late '90s and early 2000's.

On the 2006 Mac Pro, the default bandwidth for slot 1 is x16, slot 2 is x1, and slots 3 and 4 are x4. However, using the Apple provided Expansion Slot Utility, you can reconfigure the bandwidth of each slot. For example, 16/1/1/8 or 8/8/4/4. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2838...

Yes, once the mobile i7 TDP comes down to 35W (or less) it will be a shoo-in. Currently, it's 10 to 20W more than the 3.06GHz C2D.

Underpowered for what?
