    Western Digital Red 3TB HDD

    I have 4 of these 3TB Reds in a RAID 5 QNAP TS-469-Pro, and they easily saturate line speed. They are meant for NAS enclosures, so top SATA speeds aren't really the issue, since you will only ever get ~120MB/s line speed on gigabit enclosures. The BIGGEST thing with these drives, is that...

    Sales Mean Nothing: Has Call of Duty Gone Stale?

    How is this different from every Madden game ever released? Normally, that wouldn't mean much on its own, but EA, the world's largest publisher, has claimed that's their biggest seller. Do the math.

    EFF Working to Make Console Modding Legal

    Both modding and modchips are illegal in the states (not counting case modifications). "One of the functions of many modchips—the circumvention of copy protection mechanisms—is outlawed by many countries' copyright laws such as the DMCA in the USA, the EUCD and its various implementations by...

    Google’s Management Doesn’t Use Google+

    This is just based on what they can publicly find. These types of numbers are completely useless and keep getting trotted out by everyone and their dog about how google+ sucks. If you're like me, and make no public posts EVER, they would just think I don't use it. However, I have thousands of...

    Google+ Posts Drop by 41 Per Cent

    Google+ PUBLIC POSTS are down 41%...no one knows the actual site usage yet as those numbers haven't been made public. If you're like me, you NEVER post anything public. I only post to my friends circle, so an article like this would only notice that I have not made a public post in months...

    Port 80 in use by system - help needed.

    I know this is an old thread, but it came up in google when searching for this issue. I had a VMware Virtual Center Server Service that would not start. I got the same errors as above with netstat saying PID 4 / System was using port 80. It wound up being Windows Remote Management that...

    Microsoft Should Replace Ballmer?

    Uh yeah...put J Allard at the top. He is the only man that has the vision to bring MS out of the dump. The Courier, the Xbox, the Zune, etc. If the Courier had actually come out, the iPad wouldn't be where it is today.

    Android Phone Too Complicated for Girls

    Too complicated for STUPID girls, maybe. Too bad my wife has an Android and loves it. We have two Thunderbolts on preorder already.

    Google Offering $20k for Chrome Sandbox Exploit

    MS and Apple: "PLEASE, no one find our bugs." Google: "PLEASE help us by finding any bugs."

    HardOCP Question on SSD

    The Apple iPad: It's Just Ahead of its Time?

    They are not saying it's ahead of its time technologically or feature wise, they're essentially saying that it was RELEASED ahead of it's time. Basically that this version one is not the one to buy and there is no real market for a device like this yet. When version 2 comes out, it will have...

    HTC Working On A Tablet To Crush The Apple Tablet

    They are NOT working on "crushing" the apple tablet. I'm sure the two are taking very different approaches. The Apple tablet will be very media centric, while the Google tablet will be very connection/work centric. The two have very different goals.

    CompUSA back in Dallas

    Well Plano really. I thought they were dead and gone? Apparently not. I just saw a CompUSA in Plano across the street from Fry's. http://www.compusa.com/retailstores/compusaStores/plano.asp#emailform Also, they don't look like they are ass-reaming like they used to. There are some pretty...
