The problem is that it's google's strategy. I don't see Microsoft, who charges for their OS, suing Ubuntu, who provides one for free. I realize it's not a good analogy, but the point stands. Just because someone else is offering a similar service at a better rate doesn't mean you should sue...

I kinda figured the opposite was true. With the trimming of work forces, it seems to me that you'd cut staff from non-essential or projects that don't have much potential. But this makes sense too. Unfortunately.

I know there are plenty of people who will just blow this off, but I think we shouldn't be so quick to ignore the question. As robots become more and more capable and intelligent, it is an interesting moral question. Especially when they become sentient- just because we create them doesn't mean...

This article doesn't really do anything new, and as others have noted, I don't give a damn what format Europeans are using. Good for them. I care about what people on this continent are using. That said, I think he did hit the nail on the head: "I simply don't see the average consumer with a...

You know, I must say, the return of the cartridge never even crossed my mind. But by, what, call it 2011 when the new generation of consoles comes out, 64 GB will be dirt cheap. They'll need a speedy interface, but that shouldn't be a problem. Funny thing how the pendulum swings, isn't it? We...

No, skip the 9800GX2..... I just scored a GTX 260 for $215 (after MIR) at newegg.com, and the GTX is pretty sweet. I'm still floored over the kind of card you can get for this kind of money these days, but this GTX.... wow. I'm very happy with it. Just keep an eye on prices around the net, and...

The microstutter is indeed annoying, I agree. I'd take a steady, and lower, framerate over a high, inconsistent framerate any day. I don't know how they can get around it really, maybe the new GTXs are better, with the double SLI connectors and all? I don't know, it is definitely an issue that...

Thanks for all the feedback, you've been quite helpful. Today, though, I actually got out the ruler. I will need to take my front 120mm out, but I will be able to fit a GTX 260 by the slimmest of margins (I think and pray my numbers are right, lol). The GTX 260 is going to be ordered tonight...

How loud is this sound? I know that when my GPU (8800GT) is loaded, you can definitely hear it...... and it is definitely not the PSU. I can tell without even looking at my screen if my system has a folding WU that it's running. :eek: I was a little spooked at first, but I don't mind it too...

Hey guys, I just got far cry 2 and realized it's time for a hardware upgrade. The problem is, my case is physically not big enough (length-wise) to take a millimeter longer than my current card, an 8800 GT. So, I'm thinking another would be a good option, as they are a great value these days if...

I love standards when it comes to the IT field. This would be an absolute nightmare for the IT department, there would be nothing standard, and while I would like to bring my own machine to work, I know why I can't and I have no problem with it. Besides, we are able to keep ourselves up to date...

Wow, looks like the GTX is back in the game. So, with both sides supporting F@H now, is it possible to get a PPD number out of each card with the latest software/drivers? I think that this is a good selling point, and it seems to me that the GTX can out-fold the 4870, and that sounds like a...

Yeah, no kidding. I don't know how many people know about his writing, but damn, that guy really has it out for Nvidia. Like, really crazy. Inq does do some things right, they scooped everybody on the sony battery thing for sure, but for every battery recall there are 10+ cases where they are...

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. I guess I can instead blow that on a new 24" screen, haha. Thanks to all who chimed in.

If I get the FX60, I probably will overclock it. Unlocked multipliers would be nice. Overclocking, without the thinking, right? I never really took the time to overclock my 4400+, I've never really felt the need, so maybe that is an indicator that I don't need the FX60, lol. I also started my...
