With a declining market, and AMD selling off chunks of itself just to survive (for a nice visual representation, look at http://www.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=NYSE:AMD and scroll the stock dat ...

If the nVidia CPU's are anything like their chipsets and GPU's, I will need to invest in a better fire extinguisher. ...

See, this is going to be GREAT for the first... I dunno, the first six months. Then someone is going to release a virus into the wild that exploits this so that it turns into a steaming pile of dog ...

The most concerning thing to me is a 'worst of all worlds' scenario where continued economic hits drive AMD out of the market completely, coupled with Intel's release of an integrated graphics chip th ...

When I am on company time, I fully expect that my company may reasonably assume that I will always toe the company line, follow every whimsical HR policy developed, and not say a thing against said co ...

Oh please, the FTC is about as limp-wristed as the FDA and SEC combined. They'll issue some recommendations that will become hopelessly deadlocked as different companies lobby against it, and in the ...

The #1 reason worms propogate as easily as they do is bad coding, but the #2 reason? Human beings. They did not update, maintain, or fundimentally protect themselves against a problem with a known ...

I don't see Microsoft trying to run updates on every extension--some of which are unstable to to Windows--simply to benefit the end user. I also don't think Mozilla would be happy to rest on its lau ...

The biggest problem Firefox would have being bundled with MS Windows is curiously FireFox itself. It's fine and good to update a browser once it's yours, but can you imagine the confusion of a per ...

Also, I want to apologize for sounding snappish earlier--it was not my intent. That said, I'm running an Asus p5q pro and have had other Asus boards in the past--they really do make OC'ing fairly ef ...

"Cache is right." Could you relay that to my wife? She's under the mistaken impression that I'm rarely right... ;) ...

Ugh--that is sloppy and utterly irresponsible. First of all, 'auto' almost always means extra volts--unnecessary volts--and that means heat that was generated for no reason. It's potentially dange ...

Pardon my saying so, but can we really believe something from a woman who wears a Wal-Mart vest? ...

Really--it was only a matter of time before the Rambus Business Model was picked up by everyone else so that everyone can make money suing everyone else. ...

I was frankly happy to wait unti later on--when Circuit City feels the cold hand of death on it's throat that is sells everything because the staff is too expensive and they need to cut every possible ...

How many average office drones are even remotely capable of coming up with a 12-16 character password that has to be updated every 30-days to 3-months? And what do we do when that number has to be r ...

The case could have merit if the plaintiffs can show that Vista marketing was done with features like Aero, but then those features were not included in their copies of Vista. It's technically a bai ...

Yeah, I'm going to wait a week or two before installing the new firmware. Seagate rushed the first time, and this release was certainly rushed (again) to fix a problem they caused the first time. ...

At least Gates left on his own accord, and not on a stretcher... (and yes, I'm just speaking metaphorically, in case any Apple fans want to scream and yell about that). ...

Apparently I am one of the deathly accursed, the walking dead. I tend to like Seagate, but if it's not a safe product to use, I'll go elsewhere. ...

Intel certainly had a reason to leave costs on the higher end before AMD rolled out their updated Phenom, but there is also the reason to clear stock so that the I7 will be the more likely choice for ...

Posted 01/08/2009 at 10:30:36am
With the new Phenom II's, Intel may lower a few prices here and there to keep things competitive on the mainstream market. Given that AMD is completely abandoning high-end chips, one has to wonder i ...

Sure, breasts are bouncy goodies we all love to get our hands on, I won't dispute that. However, with that said, breastfeeding is natural, universal, and completely non-sexual. Don't believe me? ...
