    Help setting up QoS for Xbox and fireTV

    Hey everyone, I'm looking for some assistance limiting the bandwidth usage on my fireTV. My son watches cartoons and the download usage spikes to 25Mb+, causing my Xbox to lag severely when I'm trying to game. I have a 30/5Mb connection. First of all, I can't imagine why a kid's cartoon show...

    BlackBerry CEO: I Would Take $19B For BBM

    This is actually the problem for BBM. They have a finite amount of money they can get out of their customers. And it's not like they're growing their customer base. Whereas, Facebook can now sell ads to a multitude of companies for Whatsapp to reach 450+ million people. There is an untold...

    WoW; 5th expansion Warlords of Draenor

    The only problem with the $60 price tag, is that you can buy it for about half that cost from a 3rd party power-leveling service. Yes, it carries some risk but you also wind up with all the gold, items and achievements from the leveling. Obviously, YMMV and it's against the ToS. But if...

    Titanfall - Respawn Entertainment's first game

    I think that was previously confirmed. There are 3: Stryder - Lightweight, fast, less armor Atlas - Mixture of speed and armor Ogre - Heavy, slow, more armor

    Titanfall - Respawn Entertainment's first game

    I didn't read through the entire thread, but I'll just leave this here. There is A LOT more content coming in the release which will change the gameplay significantly from the current BETA. Including, plasma/arc guns, rail guns, turrets, mines, etc. Multiplayer campaign mode for all you 'story...

    Seiki SE50UY04 3840x2160 50" TV ($1300)

    I should clarify my previous post. I normally use the monitor for desktop and gaming at 1080 (at which I would get considerable tearing). Viewing the video you posted above at 2160p did cause some flashing at certain transition points, but no tearing. YouTube is horrible though, so I'm...

    Seiki SE50UY04 3840x2160 50" TV ($1300)

    I would get terrible screen tearing on mine as well using the stock firmware. It would happen no matter what the resolution, refresh, v-synch were set to. Flashing the 50" firmware seems to have resolved it, at least for me. This one works well, too...

    Netflix Posts $48.4M Q4 Profit

    Can anyone explain why they don't offer tiered service plans? $8/month is fine for the old content, but I think a lot of people would gladly pay ... say, $16/month plan for newer stuff. Why limit it to one plan only?

    No DayZ Beta Before End Of Year

    Why are people so upset about this? It's a niche game, sure, but they just raised aprox. $25million in additional capital to help develop the game and pay their people. This was previously an ARMA 2 mod which they worked on for a couple years for free. I think they should get paid and I'm glad...

    Seiki SE50UY04 3840x2160 50" TV ($1300)

    I surely don't, but thanks for clearing it up. EDIT: Then how come 1080p @ 60Hz works fine?

    Seiki SE50UY04 3840x2160 50" TV ($1300)

    Is there a way to enable GPU scaling at 1920x1080@120Hz or 2560x1440@60Hz? When I switch to GPU scaling, the only supported resolutions are 1080p@60Hz (with the monitor displaying 1080p@60Hz) and 2560x1440@30Hz(with the monitor is displaying 3840x2160@30Hz).

    Charter to Prepare Offer Letter for Time Warner Cable

    http://www.myaccount.charter.com/customers/support.aspx?supportarticleid=2615 As a currnet TWC customer, I am slightly concerned about Charter's "Network Managment" policies. I have no other options for high speed internet access in my area, besides DSL which would be a huge downgrade in...
