    Tesla Says NYT Review Cost Them $100M

    The NYT hasn't exactly been an unbiased, well researched article writing paper in recent history. They've become more like the new "National Inquirer".

    Microsoft Reports Record 2Q Revenue of $21.5B

    I'm really surprised no one mentions cooking the books here. When you know that a company is not doing well with their mainstream product and they post record sales, it's time for an outside audit or did no one learn anything from 2008?:confused:

    FTC Ends Google Probe With Mild Reprimand

    This sounds like everyone wants a trophy for 1st place. Why in the heck would you promote a competitor anyway? My reply would have been "Have the competition make their own browser if they don't like our results."

    Google Predicts Xbox 720 Will Beat Sony’s PS4

    Did they drop the ball because they didn't release the unit with an HD-DVD drive in it? or because they didn't have a Halo game. I'm confused,:confused:

    Does it Still Make Sense to Buy a Desktop PC?

    I've been building my own PC as well as PC's for friends who want one when they see mine since my 1st build. (AMD K6-2- 300) that was half the cost of my P-166 and twice as fast. After that I never bought a system off the shelf again.

    NVIDIA Gets $12M Department of Energy Contract For Exascale Research

    This is what is known as corporate welfare. This is why the DoE is one of the first departments that needs to go away. The free market determines where to future of computers goes, not the federal government. I bet this doesn't create any new jobs. Have you noticed the the DoE has been...

    Hate Mail and the New Religious Wars in Tech

    You could easily added: "Republicans know, Democrats are uninformed" "Democrats know, Republicans are uninformed" As it seems to be the sign of the times and frankly it has become a lame way to run our __________. Insert here what ever applies, "Country, Business, Reviews, etc" I have had...

    Small Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Reaches Record Efficiency

    Cheap and Government should never be used in the same paragraph. For all of those who still believe that "big oil" get all of the subsidies, do your own research and not rely on Liberal media spin. The government with their taxes make 10-15 times more money per gallon of gas than do the oil...

    Electronic Pickpockets Hits The News Again

    I just think it's a shame that we have all of this technology and the goal is to find a way to steal from someone rather than put the tech to good use. I guess it's a sign of the times, no one wants to work for their income anymore. I don't think this is what was meant by trickle down...

    New DVD Anti-Piracy Warning

    This is nothing new. I just turned 50 last month and can remember my grandfather had a long electrical cord with a flip-switch on it from the couch to the TV hidden under the carpet when I was a we lad (circa 1975). His magical invention cut off the speaker every time a commercial came on...

    FCC Wants Your Opinion On Cell Jamming

    As a retired veteran, I think everyone should have the right to "communicate" as many are whining here, whenever they want or feel the need to do so. Just enact a different law that makes it legal to pummel the rude idiots that ruin movies for those of us who paid for our right to watch a movie...

    retired veteran need's your knowledgable input

    Thank you to all for the lessons you afforded me. It's really a shame that GPU's that are doubled almost double the output/capability of the GPU's. I realize that trying to compare the two is like comparing 2 toasters to two vacuums. However, Multi-CPU systems have been around a lot longer...

    Bill to Tax Violent Video Games Introduced

    Something I learned in serving 23 years in the military, not all speech is free. It may not cost you financially, but there are other ingenious ways of making you pay for your "Free" speech. As long as they keep these proposed taxes on the state level, and it is not in my state, it's an easy...

    retired veteran need's your knowledgable input

    I started to dabble in dual CPU systems several years ago when I was medically retired from the military after 23 years of service. I still have an old dual P3-1000 in the attic. I thought if one CPU is fast, 2 must be better. I then learned 2 things: 1. The system with the 815 chipset was...
