Agreed to a point it is market driven. However if AMD's next chip was to exceed Intel offerings we would see massive scramble from Intel (by innovation) to compete, it becomes a game of one-upsmanship. Intel does not like to be second place. This is good for the enthusiast, which trickles down...

AMD (ATI) in graphics is needed to keep Nvidia hopping, and vice versa. There will be another if AMD falls but it will take a while. In the meantime you will see Nvidia squeeze ever dollar out of it's customers (as AMD would if it were in that position) for the same old same old. Whether you are...

I went to a decent engineering university in the 90's. The ladies were treated VERY well in engineering school and most of them were very smart. In Calculus in many universities, engineering students are looked down on as second rate (as most math is taught by mathematics professors). This...

I am writing this from a humanist perspective. I have a Christian opinion outside of this that differs some, but this is not the place. In response to the Ernest Cline quote: VR and robots are a little different. However, my guess is that a large portion of the male population could care...

Ladies have the most to gain.... a man not so much. A man with money OR kids even less. A man with money AND kids is doomed. This is one (not the only by far) reason you find man looking at this more than the ladies. As for the website, i hope the owners, users and perpetrators of the hack...

Amen, It takes an insane amount of commitment and time to properly educate a child. It is not a job; it is a lifestyle. The moms and dads who are sincere in home schooling take it very seriously, they study to make best decisions and environment possible for the children learn Where I am...

For VR, Earlier, Palmer (and others) have stated that 8k at least is needed for photo realisim and optimum "presence" in VR. For the VR crowd this is very good news, when VR tech is mainstream the displays needed will be there. Imagine the graphics (current day) that would be needed to drive...

This does not make sense, especially with MS shedding the Ad and maps business in the last couple of days. From what I can tell MS is trying to become more agile (if a giant tanker of a company can be). I expect MS will be shedding some more weight as well. As far as ATI/AMD, we consumers NEED...

I am wondering if a place declares itself a gun free zone? Does it have a liability to the patrons of the establishment to protect them? They are not allowed to protect themselves therefore the establishment is taking their protection in their own hands, if they fail should they be liable? I...

You have to try the VR now at least once. I prefer the VR to the AR experiences in gaming, though both have their place. The comparisons to 3D TV are misguided: I hate 3D movies... the DK2, CV and other VR experiences are incredible: even in relatively simple games like Minecraft. Palmer is...

You work for some really bad companies, or maybe smallons. I work for several international software companies for the last 10 years: and they hire who does well in several interviews (which are not easy). Guess what? I work and have worked with some really smart ladies. Perhaps you have worked...

For $3 more a month you could get office 365 with 5 Office installs, 1TB of storage (soon to be upgraded to "unlimited"). Is this really a deal? Would use it maybe if it was free with Prime.

PC looks good.... But I am surprised how well the PS3 looks compared to the PS4. Surprised me.

In my line of work (IT), I have found anyone that says anything with "frankly", "honestly", "my kids", "my wife" or "my dog in relation to anything job related problem they are having is fabricating. This also intones that the person was not "frank/honest" before ie "bending" the truth...

Public business is about making money, not about doing the "right" thing. There are some private companies that might make some considerations for what is "right", but they are few and far between and many of them are doing it for market share (not the "right" reasons - for $$$$). No publicly...
