I stopped buying and building pc stuff when ram suddenly went up from $40-50 for 2x2gb to over $100 for the same thing. The icing on the cake is how old stuff from 2008 is still priced similarly to market prices then. I've been bitter and resentful since. Took up a new hobby. :)

The guy should find google CEO addresses and list them everywhere. Call up or visit mr brin and schmidt for some money. :)

IMO, we gain more from their labor and logistics than if we were to move everything to another country. Try getting Dell, Sony etc to stop using China and then we can start somewhere. The Chinese are simply not interested in keeping the same laws as us because its usually not in their own...

Next there will be a full search before you go into the restroom and cameras to monitor and make sure that you're not doing anything illegal in there. Taking a shit? Too bad - you're going to jail for bioterrorism.

I had 2 and sold them. It didn't do anything for me except load windows faster which is pretty pointless unless you like to sit and stare at such. Games were still plagued by network latency and I rarely need to reboot my system. It would be nice in a laptop for the speed/heat/power savings and...

Someone is making money from this. Soon everything will be illegal if you dont pay a tax or fee to some leech in power.

Google should buy it and sell ad based discount plans. :)

Police are all about the backdoors.

Those of you that are insinuating that the granny shouldn't be accountable for this problem, whats to stop someone from using such an excuse to actually commit crimes? I set up a wireless network and use a secondary pc in my car or garage to do all sorts of crazy shit and blame it on some...

I wish it was as cheap to pair up multiple cpus like sli and xfire video cards.

Seems you cant make anything anymore without some company suing you.

I'm assuming its because credit companies and banks have ebay, amazon etc by the balls. It's tough to do any kind of business where you offer a good price because one chargeback or bump will kill the profit you made from several sales unless you deal with trinkets.

Most of the truly smart geeks I know hate the social and political structures of traditional corporations. Salary takes a back step to their passion. The companies these days have no loyalty and very little is based on meritocracy but instead, rewards tend to go to the loudest retard or those...

If you do audiofool company math, taking a 500 dollar player and adding some minor changes and selling it for 3500 isn't that much of a markup/ripoff anyway.

If I can use it to browse, play hd movies and music then I would gladly welcome another competitor into 'any' market. I use the power of a nice amd or intel computer maybe 10% of the time. The other 90% of the time, a netbook or pda would work well for the intended tasks.

There are plenty of people that love to deal with idiot customers but hate working on computers. The problem is, the upper management and shareholders think you should assume multiple roles so they can maintain growth and profits. Dont be surprised when they expect you to start baking cakes...

Too much self importance and unwarranted standards to skill level ratio. No one I know want to hire americans except for highly specialized areas.

warmachine on a diet

It may be because they outsource the IT to a middleman company. Smaller places cant afford such so they probably find a cheap way to implement and maintain it themselves. Bigger places let a assfuck company do the IT and charge whatever they want.

Have you considered a fault in your laptops hardware? I'd try to put the laptop drive in another machine and test.

What these companies dont realize is the simplicity and intuitive menus that apple products have. I can't teach my parents beyond the basics of windows but they understand apple menus easily. As for me, the thing that I keep seeing in these products is how locked in the software is and how the...

Just by reading all the posts here, Its obvious that even those with some idea on technology have a longass way to go before true progress can be reached. Look at the bickering and hatred between fellow scientists, man, woman etc. The mentaity I'm seeing is, no matter what, my idea is best...

The only bottleneck to progress are entities holding firmly onto things like patents and distribution channels. They want to sell old crap that is cheap for them to make or distribute and milk it for as long as possible. Smaller innovators face a lot of obstacles in this playground.

I'm glad they're going to make more itx and matx motherboards. :cool:

Every stock intel sink I've used since the conroes vibrated and was anything but quiet. If anyone received a non vibrating or quiet one, consider yourself lucky compared to my experience. Total POS.

Did your system/cpu temp increase since acceleros dont vent the exhaust out?

:) Me too

Hot but even at 1080p, the games I play are more than fine using hd4850 and 4890.

30 million is like a few staples office chairs and some pencils using federal budget math :D

Its because so many of us are staring at the plethora of expensive dvds sitting on our shelves watched once or twice and after that, it becomes useless to anyone but collectors. Many of these collectors that I know eventually sell their entire stash for pennies down the road when strapped for...

And millions of angry people complaining how their computer lost value and is worthless without new 32nm stuff.

Best sales are group buys between friends and family through distributor friends. Cut out the middleman. :)

All google needs to do if they really wanted this is to put a tab with 'google auctions' on their homepage.

I bought one and then sold it after a week because of buyers remorse. I hate that nagging feeling of damn, I paid so much for this EOLing cpu when I could've sold my motherboard and ram and bought i5/i7 stuff without much loss.

From my perspective, all it did was provide a clear divide between those that can tolerate the BS and drama that frequently occurs in real life social settings and those with little to no tolerance.

I have no faith for them to get just punishment. It'll probably be a farce on paper to please the common person and nothing more.

A lot of people buy [H] systems but skimp on the chair and desk. Also, even minor movement or exercise would probably sore out geeks that sit in chairs all day. :)

65nm allendale vs 45nm wolfdale. E3200 would likely oc much better than the E21xx.
