    Apple Spent Over $60M On Lawyers Fighting Samsung

    That is almost as much as the cost to upgrade to 128GB on an iPAD! Madness!

    Apple's Top Secret Desert Data Compound 'Pillar'

    Does not look too much heavier than some of the heavy-duty Colos that I have been to... Always love the huge double man-trap gates for vehicles that lift out of the ground before swinging open...

    Hackers Steal $400,000 From City Bank Account

    FDIC insurance does not cover stolen funds. It is for bank failure protection. Bank may have a blanket bond that covers this situation though. Also, a lot of consumer protection laws do not apply to business accounts and if the issue is traced to a compromised desktop in the city offices...

    Hoping to get some help with a build... Just finished a microserver build and was planning on running an OS with ZFS on top of ESXi 5. Issue is that I am using 5x3TB disks and the MIcroServer does not support hardware pass-through. I am considering going bare metal, but I would prefer to...

    P8P67 won't power on...

    Just switched motherboards to an MSI P67A-GD55... Spins fans and stays powered on, but nothing on video.... Tried two video cards, clearing cmos, multiple dimms in multiple slots.... Looks like it could actually be the CPU... A bit odd since I never took it above 1.3V

    P8P67 won't power on...

    Well, looks like it was not the power supply. Picked up a 500W PC Power and Cooling at MicroCenter and still getting the exact same behavior... Time to see which fixed P67 boards MicroCenter has in stock...

    I have had this system running rock solid for well over a month... Got a bluescreen during a game of starcraft 2 today and system had a few more crashes after that... A few hours later and now the system will not power on. Sometimes nothing when I press the power, sometimes it powers up and...

    Samsung Reaches 1TB Per Disk Platter

    Higher density does negate the need for higher RPMs for sequential IO, aka media. Even at a slower rotation, you lay down a lot more bits per rotation with the super high density. However, higher density does not help with speeds for random IO. If you need to access a block that just passed...

    Former HP CEO Announces Bid for US Senate

    I will never forget the time she came to Houston and wanted the employees to line the hall from the door all the way to the stage so she could run by giving high-fives all the way to the stage... Or the time she laid off half the floor, and imposed a company wide hiring freeze.... Except for...

    MSI Releases N260GTX Lightning for Military Grade Performance

    Just an FYI, Military grade is a real grade of components. They are often the highest binned, should never fail components. The only thing is, they are insane expensive, so I dont see why they would use them on a graphics card...

    Intel Remote Wake Keeps Sleepy Computers Ready

    NVIDIA 9500 GT Clock Throttling?

    While that is true, power supplies have an efficiency sweet spot, usually at about 80% load.... So a 1000W supply at 40% load is going to be less efficient than a 600W power supply at 67% load.

    HP Unveils Small Laptop for Schoolkids

    Honestly, I like the form factor, the finish and the size, and screen res. I love the almost full size keyboard... The EEE PC keyboard sucks. Once they get a version out that uses the atom, I would be really tempted to grab this. Especially if it drops $100 by then...

    Simple overclocking tool for Vistax64 ?

    the issue with vista 64 is that you can not load unsigned drivers. All overclocking tools I know of need kernel access, and that is a no go. If you really want to load software tools, search for how to allow unsigned kernel-mode drivers first.... Another option is the atsiv tool... A...
