He probably means public beta 1, as opposed to developer beta 3.

bump with some price reductions

bump!

I have 6 Western Digital RE2 WD7500AYYS drives that were in a RAID5 setup for about 2 years. They were on a Highpoint 2320 RAID controller, also for sale. No errors on any of the drives last I knew, but they have been out of service for a few years. Upgraded to larger capacity a while back and...

I tried some of the other options but found that the desktop rendering performance suffered. The "best for retina" option is basically pixel doubling so it's the easiest for the GPU to render. Other options have to do partial scaling and then smoothing. Hopefully in the future this performance...

To be clear: it costs 63% of the full retail price to get incremental improvements for existing customers. All I'm saying is that it seems to be priced a bit high, especially for those that own the immediately previous version. Granted, there could be more changes than what they advertise, but...

It's $50 for an upgrade from the previous version. All it seemingly changed is some fixes to support Mavericks and improvements to Windows 8 support as well as some increased disk speeds. I have no problem with their $80 cost for a non upgrade fresh install, but $50 for an upgrade with a fairly...

I really hate how they save some of these improvements for a major version number bump and charge you another $50 to get them. I understand they need to make money but I think these costs are a little high for upgrades. Hell, we'll get an entire major OS upgrade for probably $20 when Mavericks...

It's the same VM. The latter is called "coherence" mode and all it does is essentially chop the framebuffer around the application, shove it in a native OSX window and then allow you to position it wherever you want. In my opinion it doesn't work smoothly enough to use and I prefer everything to...

My suggestions: MenuMeters - great if you're into system stats TotalTerminal - once you get into doing things in the terminal this is a nice quick way to get to the terminal, similar to opening the console in a game Adium - great chat app CoRD - decent remote desktop replacement...

Yeah, definitely controlled by some sort of software but I'm not sure whether it's iOS or whatever firmware drives the display. I didn't think it was iOS since I noticed it as soon as I got the 4 (coming from the 3) on the same iOS version.

Then contact tigerdirect. Also check your spam email. Sometimes retailers send the code in a separate email from the order confirmation. Like Lu(ky said, it's not out until August but it does come with Conviction as well.

One thing I noticed about the 4 that really bothers me is the dynamic contrast ratio. It didn't seem apparent on the 3. It's really evident when watching 16:9 video in the dark, on my device at least. Hopefully they ditch that in the 5.

Seems odd that TF2 is specifically giving you issues. Any monitor with a built in scaler (such as yours) will introduce input lag no matter what but it sounds like that's not your issue anymore. Do you have any other source engine games you can try? TF2 can surprisingly bring even top end cards...

It might post fine because the CPU is barely utilized at that point. It sounds like it's probably not heat related, so I wonder if a part of the chip got damaged somehow.
