    Finally bought myself a decent monitor (HP ZR22w)

    Saw this on Newegg, and for <$300 had to pick it up (hard to find a monitor in this price range that has a fully adjustable base, let alone a S-IPS panel). After using it for about 30 minutes, I can already see a big difference between this and my previous Acer H213H (which wasn't a BAD monitor...

    So, anyone compile their own Droid kernel yet?

    So far i've come up with a 1GHz kernel for 2.0.1 that overclocks to 1GHz; right now i'm drinking some beers and coming up with a 2.1 kernel for ESE53-based ROMs with working wifi tethering and CPU speed slots of 250, 600, 800,1000, and 1200MHz. I plan to eventually come up with an overclocking...

    Hey 9530 Storm Users, 4.7.0.151 has Leaked!!

    In case any of you Storm users care. It leaked for the 9500 version almost a month ago, but the 9530 (CDMA) version just "leaked" today (actually, it somehow ended up on RIM's site for a Mexican carrier) It fixes the color banding issue on the homescreen, seems snappy and quick, adds a...

    Apple should license OS X to certain PC vendors

    Don't want to start a flame fest, and don't necessarily want to make a Hackintosh thread, but I was sitting here typing this on an Aspire One running 10.5.6 and had a hell of an idea pop into my head. It's a well known fact that Apple restricts OS X to Mac hardware only due to the loss of...

    Technical ramblings about Blackberry Storm

    Well, as alot of us know, the Storm is Blackberry's first touchscreen based device. And alot of people complain about the fact that it 'runs' significantly slower than the iPhone, and is oftentimes laggy, especially with the latest official OS, v4.7.75 (Verizon) - the latest non-hybrid leaked...

    FT: Dell Axim x50v; (unofficial) WM6.0

    I've got a Dell Axim x50v, running WM6.0 (unofficial, since no official WM6 ROM was ever released); basically I find it to be a PITA compared to my new iPod Touch (x50v's wifi tends to be annoying, x50v with WM6 is somewhat slow, etc), and it just takes up space, so i'm looking to get rid of it...

    Yet another new toy - 1GHz eMac

    Well, following in the footsteps of the G3 iMac 600MHz snow; i've acquired another toy via eBay.... Picked up a 1GHz eMac for $85 shipped. I dunno if it's the extra 400MHz of processing speed, or the fact that it's a G4 vs. a G3; but this thing flies compared to the iMac. It is, however, the...

    Another new toy - iMac G3 600 Snow

    Well, couldn't pass it up for $50; scored a 600MHz Snow iMac off of ebay, wanted to tinker with an older PPC. A little cosmetic damage, there's a broken piece in the upper right part of the monitor frame underneath the clear plastic, but it works really well, surprises me how much power OS X...

    Bought a refurb iPod Touch...

    and holy crap, am I impressed. I was looking for a new toy, and the iPod Touch seemed like something really interesting, with the multi-touch interface and all; so off to Apple's site I went. It was at that point that I realized it wasn't Apple's site at all, it was the Loch Ness...

    Hackintosh Question (No, not what you're expecting)

    Okay, I know talking about "Hackintoshes" in here is generally frowned upon, however, I have been thinking a bit about the whole "Apple hardware only" thing and I feel I have a legitimate question. We know that one of the main reasons Apple only licenses OSX to work on "Apple Labeled" hardware...

    Macs With AMD Inside?

    well, graphics cards anyways, for now.... but I was thinking, with Apple offering AMD (ATI) video cards, it wouldn't be completely beyond the realm of possibility to see AMD processor offerings in the future (you know AMD is going to at least try and cut Apple some kind of deal regarding...

    Extremely weird floppy drive issue.....

    is it possible.... multi-core GPU?

    now that we have multi-core CPUs coming to the mass market, what do you people think the possibilities of having a multi-core GPU coming out are?
