As someone who handles hiring at my company, I can say I used to be able to hire someone in a few days. With new rules involving how many people I have to interview, how the selection process has to work to ensure fairness (and avoid lawsuits), background checks and drug tests - then if the new...

This is well said. Microsoft has rarely ever innovated, usually just copies other good ideas. This time they are trying to innovate and be part of the future instead of a part of history. ...and I don't need a hug, I feel just fine about my opinions.

Bwahaha! I've probably been using and building PCs since before you were born, but your opinions are yours and I won't insult them for the sake of insulting them. I simply don't find this "change" to be that steep. It looks different, but it's all still windows to me. Perhaps I'm just more...

BTW, I use steam on the W8 preview fine. Does the icon look pretty? No, but it works fine.

I sell PCs as part of my job. I still have people bitching about how W7 looks different from XP and they want XP. It's old, it's not secure, it looks like crap and using any new hardware is a problem. On top of that, it's not really that different. Neither is W8. It's W7 with a different...

The other catastrophe is Linux. Not for those of us in this forums, but for the other 99.9% of PC users in the world. Normal people just want stuff to work, that's not what any Linux distro offers. If Gabe wants to bet his future on the Linux platform I say go ahead, but employees at Valve...

Wait for Version 2.0, everyone knows that anything involving a Jobs release to the public means that the first one is beta. It will likely catch fire or if you grip it incorrectly it will break.

This should surprise me but doesn't. Google's business is about collecting information to better sell advertising with. 99% of people using Google anything don't realize any of this, so the more people they can get to run Chrome the better for them, so it's a good investment for them. It's also...

I've got an HD7 and if this affects reception, I haven't noticed. After nearly a month of having it I haven't dropped one call and can't get my signal to drop at all trying this.

My ZuneHD is the best tech product I own, so I hope they keep the product line alive. A windows phone 7 without a phone would be a very nice device.

I have yet to be happy with a smartphone, and while I doubt Windows phone 7 will be perfect out of the box, I think they are putting together a very useful product I am looking forward to.

Mother may I?

It's not been covered well, but the OfficeMax ad with the $150 netbook was a fake. No such ad exists. The real ad blows.

It may be OK in a dual boot situation if it boots in just a few seconds, but otherwise completely useless. They just keep trying to sell me cloud computing and I'm just not buying. I want my photos, music and documents in MY posession, not on some server where I have to find some sort of...

Exactly. The electric chair and lethal injection are far slower ways of killing someone than a guillotine. Keep it simple and quick.

If you wanna play it, buy it. Everyone knows hacking is breaking the rules.

My ex-wife gets all my money...

The real question is this - What are you using the laptop for? If you want to game, even WOW, you are looking at the wrong hardware. If you want to do HD video or video editing or 3d rendering this is not a good choice. If you want a laptop for web surfing, email, word processing and basic use...

The person to blame here is the retailer. I am a store manager of an office supply store, and I have trained all of my sales staff to tell the customer that the PC maker may charge nothing or they may charge up to $20. This was the same with Vista. Retailers are aware of this and need to be...

The Dokken/chicken ad may was seriously funny. A dead chicken with a shiv is hysterical any way you look at it.

I'm surprised that so many people are using IE and so few are using Chrome. I've been using Chrome almost 100% of the time, but then again, I dislike using plug-ins in my browser.

Bottom line - if you've like past versions of UT, this is an improvement. If UT is not your style, you're not gonna like this one either. To each his own.

Thanks Kyle. The reason I have been coming back to these forums for years and years is that the BS is controlled and dealt with.

This is sad to see as I think that [H] does the best reviews in the business. Thanks for the great writing from the consumer and console teams over the last 2 years.

Circuit City has not been on commission for over a year. Don't accuse people of something unless you know what you are talking about. Oh, and I DON"T work for Circuit City, I just know how it is to be accused of garbage like that when you are on commission.

Nobody gives a RATS ASS about your opinions.

This is artifacting. If you are overclocked, try returning it to stock speeds. If not, I would say that you are having overheating problem with your video ram chips. I was having the same issues and once I returned it to stock clock speeds it was fine (this was with my 9800Pro - I got my 6800GT...

I got a little misty-eyed remembering the days of $3500 pentium 60mhz systems with 4 MB of graphics memory and 14" monitors. Oh to be young again. Then again, it also makes me wonder how many thousands and thousands of dollars that I've spent upgrading and building new computers all the...

Yes, the 5700U is normally a great overclocker and is a dx9 card as well. You will see a big difference on newer games especially. My experience with them (I build alot of systems for people) has been very good.

$535 is WAY too much but there will be people pay that much that want to be able to play D3 on it as soon as possible. It just goes to show you that something is only worth what others will pay for it.

That 'll bring $550 maybe even $600 on E-Bay.

hahahaha! This might be the truest statement I've heard all damn day.

Due to the open gl drivers for ATi (other than the fire gl, and they still have issues) it is a very bad idea to try to use CAD or any other 3D program with an ATi card. I had to build a second system with a quadro card to run Maya and Vue D'Esprit because my 9800pro crashes the apps every time...

My IC7 worked absolutely fine on cheap Kingston pc2700 value ram but did not overclock well at all. Moving up to Kingston HyperX, Corsair XMS, or any other good brand of performance ram will do you well. I'm currently running this Geil ram...

I have an oppurtunity to purchase the AMD Challenge deal (A64 3200+ and Asus K8V SE for $179 after mail-in rebate) and wanted to get an opinion on this board. There doesn't seem to be much here either good or bad about it and I would like to hear about some personal experiences. Thanks in...

The last 2 cards I have owned {9500Pro and 9800Pro} have been Saphire. Both have overclocked fairly well.

Absolute no brainer...6800GT. And I am a current ATi owner.

I've been reading the [H] and the forums for 4 years now and while I don't always agree with all the methods I have seen them call out many companies for crap products and be complimentary to the very same company for another product the next day. Just 2 weeks ago there was a thread here about...

Congrats! Will be looking forward to your news.
