    Newegg FTL DDR5

    Corsair has had their Vengeance 32GB C36-5600 in stock for a bit ~$390. They have started to charge tax on the website though, so still puts it over $400.

    Official PS5 Thread

    Received my shipping notice this morning and it hit the road this afternoon from Louisville, KY according to tracking. So, luckily not just a printed label tease.

    The New MB / MBP Docking Options with Displayport

    PC guy. Bought my first Mac for Dev work....Surprised

    For you new MacBook users (or even if you're not new), do yourself a favor and check out the gestures tutorial for the trackpad: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204895 When working with full screen apps (or even when using RDP to Windows machine), being able to quickly switch between all of...

    WWDC 14

    I think realistically you'd probably only see about 200 ft at max (not accounting for interference). Of course this will depend on all devices involved and we don't (at least I don't) know the specifics of Apple's Bluetooth implementations for each device. But I can easily see exceeding this...

    WWDC 14

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_low_energy http://www.bluetooth.com/Pages/low-energy-tech-info.aspx Says it can operate at over 100m (330ft) away and uses frequency hopping to counteract interference. I'd say that's a fairly reasonable distance away. Not across a whole house, but next...

    WWDC 14

    To me it seems to be using iBeacon, which is based off Bluetooth LE: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6048 and Airdrop: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5887 Now it's possible they may have expanded iBeacon to Wifi, but we'll see. iBeacon/Bluetooth makes the handshake between the devices and...

    Verizon Earnings - Trouble Ahead?

    AT&T's planned LTE coverage by the end of the year looks fairly on par with Verizon's: http://www.att.com/network/en/img/2014_coverage_map2.png With Verizon overselling their LTE bandwidth in my area (consistently hitting 1Mb), their in-store treatment of myself when I bought a full price...

    What android phones use a nano-sized sim card?

    The Moto X unlocked is running around $349 from Amazon at the moment. I thought about picking one up to tinker around with, but kind of want the One M8 a bit more (though it is a bit large for my liking).

    What android phones use a nano-sized sim card?

    HTC One M8 uses nano as well. Though you should be able to get a screen replacement from Apple for $149 depending on what you have. You can also pick up sim adapters pretty cheaply as well if you want to be able to easily switch between phones.
