    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.

    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...

    Xbox 360 Crashes Accessing PlayStation Store?

    It really does have SEVERAL show stopping bugs. This should have never been released. http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/310751.page Go through all 20 some odd pages. It's quite humorous.

    Microsoft Responds To Unhappy Blogger

    The bottom line here is that Apple would have NEVER done this. Anyone remember the kid with the signed Xbox that sent it off for RRoD repair and it came back clean? Remember how MS came through on that one? It's a hell of a read if you don't...

    Microsoft Forces Valve to Charge For L4D DLC on 360?

    The new Batman DLC will be free, and Valve's previous stuff was free, and there's free shit all the time on XBL. If I were MS, I would come out and call BS on this. Unless MS told Valve they would take the heat for it if they wanted to charge, which I bet is what happened.

    Survey Finds Xbox 360 Breaks 5 Times More than PS3

    If you notice in other polls, there are a large number of XBox's in the world...but more importantly, the average play time on an XBox is MUCH higher than other consoles at 5-7 hours daily, compared to 2-3 for PS3 and less than an hour for Wii. Logic would say that because of the 3-4 times...

    The Mac Isn't as Secure as Some Want Us to Believe

    I was in a Fry's yesterday, and noticed a big Mac banner that listed why you should move to Mac. One of the reasons was, "Macs don't get PC viruses." I was about to call bullshit and false advertising, until I realized the wording..."PC viruses." They didn't say that they don't get viruses at...

    Android vs. Windows 7: What’s Better for your Netbook?

    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate on my Asus Eee 1000HE. It came with XP, but Windows 7 seems to be running WAY smoother. Even with the default config of 1gb RAM and slow 160gb drive, it was much snappier. I went ahead and added some Crucial 2gb and a Seagate 500gb, and it's running like a...

    Sony Pictures CEO Thinks No Good Has Come From Internet

    This just shows how out of touch Sony has been, in every market segment, for years. From all the stupid comments from Kutaragi on the Playstation to the audio division and their root kits, to the film industry. I hope they all die.

    IPv6 has No Business Case, Survey Finds

    Per your own linked article: "The transition of the Internet to IPv6 is the only practical and readily available long-term solution to IPv4 address exhaustion."

    Is Intel and Google Preparing “Mass Roll-out” of Netbooks?

    Netbooks will go the way of the dodo soon enough. Since laptops KEEP coming down in price and KEEP getting smaller, there will be no point to getting these underpowered and overrated machines. You can get a full featured Windows or Linux laptop in the 3-400 range now with dual core Intels or...

    New Mac Ad

    Even though the Mac ads are FULL of blatant lies and misconceptions, you gotta hand it to their marketing department...the commercials are hilarious.

    Google Chrome: One Month Later

    I found it to be much faster than both IE7 and FF3. But the reason I dropped it almost immediately is that the frakkin zoon is just text scaling. I have a 24" monitor @ 1920x1200 that sits back a ways on my desk, and I'm getting old so my eyesight is not what it used to be. Both IE and FF...

    Dell XPS 1530 Speedstep Problem?

    I want this laptop to perform at top levels at all times. The CPU just didn't seem to be there when I needed it. So I went into the BIOS to disable Speedstep. It turns out that if you disable the Speedstep, it forces my 2.6 C2D to only run at 1.2 and never go any higher!! It says in the BIOS...
