    Ford Adds Mobile Phone Blocking to My Key

    So pair with the car, start the car, turn off bluetooth. I'm sure they wouldn't engineer the car's engine to stop if it lost a bluetooth connection, that's much more dangerous than talking on the phone while driving.

    George Hotz Gives $10k To The EFF

    FWIW lots of people rip off their legal defense fund and use it as income, but someone giving him money for legal defense is taxable if he decides to keep it. he can't write it off since it was never taxable income in the first place. it's just money that was gifted to his legal defense fund...

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    You're insane if you think dell should put electronics in the stand on a 30" monitor... That silly stuff is even stupid on a TV. It's much more important to use an aftermarket VESA arm with these monitors, building 2x2 panels with 4 30" monitors, having your monitor float over your desk from an...

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    Ah, finally I can dump my two 3007 WFP-HC monitors... So tired of the colors being wrong and oversaturated in everything except my calibrated apps (photoshop/lightroom etc) and having to mess with the colormunki calibrator all the time. This has a proper factory calibration, a LUT and a proper...

    Bluetooth Enabled Watches

    I'm a watch person just for simplicity and always having the time quickly available. I'm also a gadget nerd, and while things like this could be somewhat cool, the coolness is wasted by having to charge this thing (potentially every day/week) I already have to keep track of two laptops, two...

    yeah, big pharma is strangling the healthcare system and this bill will end up giving them more money for more drugs for more people the insurance companies don't make too huge of a profit but that's not to say they don't overcompensate the executives and shareholders to bring the profits...

    Clean Install Windows 7 with Upgrade Media

    it's great that this still works, mainly to make it easy to clean install on a new hard drive on a system you had a previous OS with. just remember that technically it's not a legal copy of windows 7 unless you can also show the proof of purchase for the version that you upgraded from. If...

    Asus P5E-VM HDMI: best matx ever?

    Just an FYI, I had a hell of a time troubleshooting a problem with random bluescreens in vista on this mobo. Changed PSU, processor, used external video, changed mobo. Turned out the culprit was Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2 800 (2x2GB) kit memory which was passing memtestx86, vista memory...

    Dell XPS 630i Fan Stuck at 100% Issues, ESA Firmware patch

    Posting this here for reference and in case Dell nukes it from their own support forums for some reason. Ok Guys here it is... I have personally developed this package and tested it on 2 xps 630 systems. That said even reading this post is at your own risk. The file was...
