I was tempted by this when Newegg had it for $600 a few weeks ago. Now it's $550 and I couldn't resist. Replacing an HP LP2475W. Dell monitors used to be on my 'cannot consider list' because of overly aggressive anti-glare but reviews state the anti-glare is now much more subdued. I haven't...

They probably hve special 'Walmart SKUs' of otherwise identical products that make them 'not identical enough' to be matched. I'm going to spend BF with family not out doing some shallow unfulfilling consumer-whoring, but best of luck to everyone who does!

Looks to me like he was up there to get his hairstyle looking extra good. Too early?

Something for a whiney immature child I DIDANT GET MY TOY to cry about.

I thought of something like this in ninth grade which was quite a while ago. I guess I should be an ivory tower do-nothing futurist too then?

countries with more competition and more regulation tended to have the best pricing. More regulation and more competition, together? Say it ain't so laissez-faire capialists!

At first I was thinking 'maybe it's "IT/tech inventions"' then I thought 'maybe it's "inventions of the last ten years".' I knew America had managed to export obesity to the UK but apparently there's a brisk trade in stupidity and superficial simplistic thinking too. So many of those things are...

Google is much more 'Big Brothery' than Apple so this is just silly catchphrase news bs'ing. They want to know *everything* you do, their whole business is based on that, they just don't care about what it is you do as long as they're able to log it. Apple is like the government in 1984 as a...

The USA had muckraking about Chicago meat factories, steel factories, and other early 20th century industrial working conditions. China is starting to do the same and the same workplace changes will eventually take place there. It was inevitable, the government can only crack down so hard...

Wow that sucks. I wonder what the underlying reason for graphics being unprofitable was?

Hmm so a 4+1 phase power section made with quality parts can overclock pretty decently. So much for MOAR PHASES marketing b.s. (the real reason mobo makers push that is it allows more parts that are in sum cheaper than fewer more expensive ones.) Soo, it's clear that tons of space isn't needed...

Yeah no kidding. Some of their services are one thing but giving them full control of your computer via OS is kind of crazy.

Laser just needs some laser cosmetic surgery and it will look 25 again!

Slightly misleading headline on [H] because it implies that *all* technology makes you 'happier' just by being there when the real point of the article is that basic connectivity technology makes people happier. So do gaming computers, PMPs, game consoles, flat screen TVs and surround sound make...

This article, which was linked from the news piece article, is much more daming. I set up a FB account once on a whim but never did anything with it and never posted any info otther than my name really. I deleted it a few weeks ago and I'm thankful I never used and posted stuff because I have...
