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...

We will become data pools... the Matrix said batteries, generators of electricity... but we will be generators of data.... for google (Apple, MS, Amazon - name your company). All about the Benjamins, $$$$ this is all that matters at Davos. He is saying that the internet connection becomes a...

Modular PSU... nice. Used tons of Antec cases in builds.

It is an interesting thought and in my opinion has been set in motion since the industrial revolution and machines doing work. It is inevitable. The question is when.

Actually most many have suggested the "AI" is putting us down as a threat to ourselves and the world. The use of the term "AI" in these scenarios is not really fair, as this scenario the AI does not have to be that "intelligent". A simple purely logical evaluation of humanity and its place in...

Windows 8 is no where near the worst operating system ever... it is a solid OS it has some different (from windows 7and XP) concepts in the UI department (it blows my mind, for years people have asked for a more MAC like OS....this is it...). Vista (pre-SP1), Windows ME, and Windows 95 are...

Whether the Oculus is vaporware or not (and I think the dev product removes it from that category, personally). The research that has been put into this device and the solutions produced/conceived have "kickstarted" VR research and made it more mainstream and pushed the envelope for a consumer...

My guess is they concentrate on the bulk of users (low to mid) and the scraps go to the high end users. Also I would bet they found the best case scenario to demo. As this is something that the Xbox One needs, my bet is it is highly oriented to to it's hardware low to mid than anything else...

This is nothing new... Kinda a Lord of the Flies thing, All people will act strange when they perceive (this is only a perception with twitter/instagram/facebook/forum posting/whatever else ;) ) that they are anonymous or there are no consequences. You will see more "inner demons" that...

Luckily, even when I was a teenager cared little about pop culture... (though I love music)... Now I care even less at 30+. I pray my 8 year old son is like me.... or I am lost.

@CreepyUncleGoogle To an extent I agree, but Valve poured research money into this, not even cursory amounts mind you. That they have let the researchers leave and work on the same projects with outside companies (such as OR) is rather altruistic (versus the apple/MS/google and whoever else...

Make Xbox360 digital library (think live and all) pc compatible. Not only does this extend the life of the system, it makes a immediate potential revenue stream for many games that might be considered "dead". This also makes Windows8 more attractive to the gamer crowd. This also gives the...

Look if anyone "solves" this problem it will be a corporation/company who looks and sees a need and a profit to be made UNLESS a large (as in 10's of millions) group of US citizens "kickstart" an effort to run fiber across the nation (however this will create another company/corporation) or...

Forget this branding... can we have Atmos at home?

Excellent idea. I would buy a steam machine in this configuration in a heartbeat for my tv's (most of my pc gaiming is done on the tv in the family) if: It had true media player functionality (XBMC level functionality) Had integrated streaming apps: Netflix Amazon Vudu Hulu

Been called a geek or a techie a handful of times and it was in a teasing quasi derogatory way. However do I care: NO. Would I blog about it: HELL NO. General IT for about 4 years. We are called IT, If I am asked what I do I respond: "IT". I think my official title is Systems Network...

Using the term "weak" is incorrect in terms of Wozniak. He is very, very comfortable with who he is and compared to Jobs and many other CEO's he is not full of himself. Confidence and narcissism are often confused. Very few CEO's (this is a trait of humanity) are confident enough to take true...

Why is the Woz the first thing that entered my mind when I heard Ballmer was retiring... From reading here it seems I was not alone.

When is MS going to drop their price by $100? Then we have a race...

I already have more games than I can play with Steam. Steam drops prices reasonably fast and has insane sales. The problem with MS is that it's games on XBLA rarely went on sale, What is there to make me think MS will make anything else cheaper, even over time. You guys need to be careful...

Sony now will fill in all those bank price points in its presentations; if ps4 come in $100 to $150 cheaper than XboxONE, MS will have lost the opening round in the console wars. Sony does this and the momentum will be on it's side for sure... ...unless there is some serious subsidizing of...

My release day "phat" Ps2 is still working. Not that is gets played much anymore...but it played many days straight of GT. Good system.... But then again I have a DC, Saturn, SNES and GC working as well. I also have two hacked Xbox 360 Xenon's (no HDMI - first gen with no RROD). Maybe...

Or Xbox Negative 1?

part of me really wants this to succeed, especially from the XBMC angle, and the indie game angle (BTW is this considered an indie project? - i figured the second you got venture capital outside kickstarter it becomes a mainstream project?). But I have severe doubts, the hardware is rather...

For those talking about business infrastructure, internet is very different then with local ISP's. For instance a company I know off spends $2k on a 50/50 connection. BUT THEY ARE GUARANTEED 50/50 from the tier 1 (ie backbone) provider (such as LVL3) the middle man (century link/Comcast etc)...

Apples performance post Steve Jobs is a good example of CEO's effect on company. Steve Jobs pretty much is the best modern day argument for the CEO impact. Apple would be nothing if not for his return. (Make no mistake I am no Jobs fan (am a WOZ fan but another topic), but whoever you are you...
