    Best Buy is having some crazy sales on the Moto X Pure

    Doesn't look like Amazon has any stock, unless you want to buy a used phone from their warehouse. All the sellers listed are third party.

    FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler’s Departure Is Death Knell For Net Neutrality

    I just wanted to point out that it's not a valid link to show that stateside hospitals perform well. That site gives 50% of it's rating to web links, 20% to size of the web page, 15% to attachment files, and 15% to Google Scholar references. It literally gives no weight to hospital performance...

    FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler’s Departure Is Death Knell For Net Neutrality

    That's a really bad page to use, because that site is specifically ranking hospitals based solely on their web pages + papers produced (sourced via google scholar). Quality of care was not even factored for the ranking.

    Final Fantasy XV

    There's a ton of items in game that give zero clue that they're critical for a quest. I've started quests only to realize I can turn it in immediately because I already have the quest item, which is really weird to experience.

    Western Digital Red 8TB Video Review

    Definitely true and confirmed with my mix of mybook drives and legit Red's. Firmware versions are different and TLER does not stay on any of the mybook drives.

    Toshiba 6TB X300 Retail $180 Newegg

    That's been my experience as well. They're much better than they were a while back when they were consistently horrible with hard drives, but every so often I get a package that obviously was packed by someone that had no clue how to pack drives. The only thing that bugs me a bit is that when it...

    Why are screen makers not using invisible glass?

    All the pictures they show are of display cases or art frames. Maybe the heat and durability requirements for a display screen are too demanding for the coating.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron Trailer Leaked

    Nope, Bungie never said anything to that effect. Kotaku reported that based on sources, which apparently were wrong.

    Western Digital Red 8TB Video Review

    Well....on the third pass of badblocks one of the HEBHMCK's is now up to 2000+ comparison errors, so something's definitely wrong with that drive. Other two are still holding steady.

    Western Digital Red 8TB Video Review

    I took them out of the enclosures as soon as I got them. I can try popping the pcb's back on and testing them after the badblocks runs are done. FWIW, I'm referring to the WD80EZZX as a Red because even if it's based on the He8 it's clearly not identifying as a He8, while the relabeled...

    Western Digital Red 8TB Video Review

    That looks to match up with what I got. Two reds with DCM HEBHMCK and one He8 with DCM GEBHMCK. Too bad all of my local best buys are totally sold out.

    X-COM 2 Looks really good. Is it worth the $60

    Just because someone values the game differently doesn't mean they're a chump, it just means that it's worth it to them to experience the game now rather than later. Pretty ridiculous to shame others for a personal value judgement.

    Destiny Patch Fixes More Stuff

    They reduced the upgrade steps necessary to max out the upgrades for an exotic, and made it so only the final upgrade requires an exotic shard. That means you can literally upgrade an exotic to 90% upgraded without any ascendant materials and only just the standard upgrade mats like relic iron...

    worth going from a nexus 7 2013 to a nexus 9?

    I bought the Nexus 9 and tested it against my Nexus 7 before opting to return it. The image quality is better, but only if you look for it. Light bleed on the other hand, is clearly worse than Nexus 7 2013, especially when viewing a black screen. Main difference other than the obvious size bump...

    Can't hurt to be superstitious like that, but FWIW I've had two exotic engrams decrypt to the class I was on at the time.

    Don't expect upgrades to MBP and MBAir til 2015

    For what I'm going to use it for, the GPU won't be of any use since I'm not going to be gaming on it. I have time and can wait a bit to see what sort of light refresh they'll do this year though.

    Objective2 Amp+ODAC, possibly $229.99 + $10S/H

    Objective2 Amp+ODAC, possibly $229.99 + $10S/H

    You can definitely try it out with Amazon. An alternative would be Headroom, which has a good return policy that allows you to try them out and return the one you don't like, assuming you have enough cash or credit to buy multiple sets...

    Objective2 Amp+ODAC, possibly $229.99 + $10S/H

    Due to the shape of the ears and the related interactions, an actual flat curve on a headphone sounds like total crap. With a speaker, the room interacts with the sound before it even reaches your ear, which is why a flat response is desirable. Inner Fidelity does a pretty good job of explaining...

    Objective2 Amp+ODAC, possibly $229.99 + $10S/H

    If you don't mind waiting you can sometimes find the HD650's for less. For example, Massdrop had the HD650's for $350 a month or two ago. :) For comparison, here's the K712 (looks like it's not the pro version) and the HD650: http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/SennheiserHD650.pdf...

    Objective2 Amp+ODAC, possibly $229.99 + $10S/H

    Something like the DT770's has overinflated bass. The HD650's bass is definitely not overinflated, as long as it's decently amped. What amps were used for the folks that reported that?

    so will Microsoft gives us a free copy of windows 8?

    Out of curiosity I just had to look...and you weren't kidding. When it's not flame bait, it's a rather lame question: Are you using windows 8.1? for what purpose does "cloud" exist? have you guys seen this? (win8.2) what will they call it? when is win8.1 out? what do people...

    Amazon Prime Price Increase

    Agreed. I haven't had it happen too often, maybe twice in the last year, but every time I've let them know it took longer than two days they've extended my Prime by a month as compensation for the inconvenience.
