    klipsch 2.1 anygood?

    Having tried many diffrent systems the best seems to be two 6.5in book shelf speakers and a t-amp. On of my favorites is a AV123 and a sonic T-amp. They are just insanly good for the money. Av123 have some good bstock items that are just open box items. Theyre are tons of versons of the...

    Apple: The New Microsoft

    True that and how that must hurt for anyone at MS that retains objectivity. The worst is all the innovators that get bought up and the fruit dies as soon as it becomes part of the corperate tree.

    I see U are a little behind here. Time played time- they knew it was rigged. A controversial opinion is good for business lots of clicks. That is how the web rolls. Sorry guys 4chan and you have been played. :D

    Time’s Most Influential Person Is 4chan Founder

    Like it or not it has some validity. Just about every played out internet meme came from that site. Why some woman on the yo-yo diet that cant tweet right should win an internet award is beyond me.

    Apple Approves Of Shaking Babies

    Yea the fascist bastards that want to delete mention of this kind of thing but fail to do anything to actually try to prevent it. Hide these kinds of problems in the closet and they get worse.

    Blu-ray Sales Nearly Double in 2009

    Guess you havent looked at the bandwidth more than doubled. 7 vs 25-50GB and with better compression. It is not just about size it is about quality. Bigger and better otherwize upconverting would do the job it absolutely does not. Just like everything crap in crap out if the source is not...

    AP Copyright Lawsuit Takes A Funny Turn

    One thing of note he did not manipulate a picture he used a picture to make the art out by hand.- that is a big difference. It is hard to make a proper judgment if you dont know the facts.

    Ten Technologies About to Go Extinct

    Actualy one of the big reason was fear that the phones would directly interfere with the devices because they used high energy RF. This started when they ued the old 2-4 watt cell phones. This is back when nothing used RF. After y2k when tons of really old equipment got trashed it hasn't...

    Uncool To Be a Mac User in These Tough Times?

    Fanboy fail if the laptop was so great of a deal they would not have had to give her a gag contract. One problem Apple may be negative but does it use deceitful message? They admit their bias. 20+ acting jobs and not cool enough to own an apple yea right. From TechFlash

    Surgeons Using Twitter During Brain Surgery

    Lots of them. This new thing twitter is evil-. Forget that there are already computers video cameras and these people answering the questions of one or two people instead of thousands. Only med students should be able to see this I guess.

    Opera: IE 'Kill' Switch Not Enough

    No as long as they dont re brand it and hide the source code they dont have much problem. It is a lot like drivers MS doesnt own them either. Personaly I would like a choice of what to install just so there is less crap on my computer- I dont see the need to install and uninstall a program...

    Intel Tears Apart NVIDIA Ion in Document

    Say what you want about NVIDIA's problems their integrated graphics are vastly superior to Intel's. There is just no comparison. Whoever made these claims is either out of touch or just speaking the company line. The claim that people dont need any more performance than intel provides is...

    Microsoft Overpaid Laid Off Employees

    Not a lawyer but I have had more than my fair share of business law and HR background. Severance pay is often part of the benefit package. If the company puts it in writing it is considered a contract. You would be legally bound to return the extra if this was the case. There is often an exit...

    NVIDIA Stock Plummets

    Good job! No names are no replacement for innovation. Seriously who is stupid enough to replace a video card with the same performance. There is a reason sales are down. Looks like the only win they have is integrated graphics with Apple but Intel is trying hard to shut them out of that...

    Dell Files to Strip "Netbook" of Trademark Status

    In the old days you needed to have an active product to maintain a trademark like that. Companys would spend some money keeping some product on sale with a desirable name. It doesnt look like they had an active product or any real intent to make one in a wile. The whole point of a trademark is...

    Is DVD Pricing Holding Blu-ray Back?

    They will come down with time. I will say the PS3 is shockingly good at up conversion with a good DVD compared to other up converters. To me there is a huge difference between the two most of the time. Netflix is just too easy there no reason not to watch on Blu-ray. I will buy the good ones...

    PlayStation 3 Has to Suffer, Signals Sony Boss

    I actually do know a few things about game development LOL. 250MB for textures AKK even budget video cards have double than that now and the system could use more also if nothing else just to handle swapps and make load times and texture pop less. If noting else it would help the non game load...

    PlayStation 3 Has to Suffer, Signals Sony Boss

    Lets hope. They got the short end of the stick when it came to GPU's. It is OK but you would think with a year later they would have one that well a year later in design. New GPU's have come a long long way and stupid fast memory is worlds cheaper too if you are not locked in to one company...

    Beware Of Hot Chicks on Facebook

    If this is troll bate than wow you got guts. Forced Sex with your class mates is not exactly normal or OK. If he was succeeding with my friends it would be very hard to restrain the desire to emulate Marve in Sin City. No need though, he is going away for a long long time. If this is on the...

    PlayStation 3 Has to Suffer, Signals Sony Boss

    I have to wonder about the people that say the PS3 sucks. Some of PS3 only ages are seriously impressive even after playing on a stupid expensive gaming computer OC'd and all. It is a fantastic value even if you place the games at the bottom of the priority list. Even though it is not...

    TV & Video Games Increase Teen Depression Risk

    Someone actually used adjusted statistics in a research study with Video games I am shocked and stunned. That said concurrence is not consequence. They might have watched TV because they sucked at social skills sports etc. Depression is directly related to feeling of inadequacy if they...

    Windows Internet Explorer 8 RC1

    No real problems it does seem better than IE7 but that doesn't take much. Dont know why they cant get better Java support. It is crazy. No good add ons is the killer. Looks like they are trying to fix that but the add on dont seem to do the job well. I just dont see them catching up anytime...

    Help Me Build a HTPC

    Well depending on what monitor or projector you get you may want to leave room for a small video card. Even the lowest end cards offer better off loading and smoother frame rate.

    Apple Trounces Wall Street Estimates

    Good comments though the Apple haters are more of an example of how not to think- or I should hay fail to think. If apple really was ripping off people you can bet someone else would be very quick to follow. Apple prices are often below that of identical Windows and dont forget the resale...

    Steve Jobs Taking Medical Leave Until June

    The real world has a way of biting you in the ass. See office space? The same mentality goes into controlling the network and its computers. They get around the EULA restriction by stating that there are back up systems. No Apples are not going to be use on life support systems but then you...

    Album Sales Plunge, Digital Downloads Up

    With only about 10 popular artists worth listening to why bother buying albums? Anything with a shred of value from big music will get massively overplayed on the radio anyway. Buying the whole album is an act of masochism now.

    Windows: Linux Can't Touch This

    Yea he is an expert. Same was said about Firefox and Apple. It wont happen overnight but the very things that makes a program a sucess can cause its downfall later. I think Microsofts biggest compitition is its self. Say what you want about how great Vista is, it deeply aleinated a lot of...

    Monster Says It Is Not A…Monster

    There is a special place in hell for patent trolls. They have very obvious abuse of patent and copyright laws. You cant support a business purely by suing the competition out of business. I would have a lot more sympathy if they did not try to copyright common terms or industry standards that...

    RIAA Sues Hospitalized Teenager

    Not sure why would would decide these people are guilty. A free IP address is not exactly proof. Anyone could have made it up. Pancreatitis is not a minor problem. It is very possible that that when she wakes up in the morning she could be dead soon and not in a pretty way. Even mild...

    New Mac Ad

    True that but how is who? The add is funny isnt that a good enough reason to make it? MS deliberately created a 'Media Event' and capitalized on how much they were spending. Apple is smaller but there overhead is also much lower strangely enough- even though they make everything they sell...
