Nothing would make me happier than to see EA get stomped into the dirt on something like this. What's their next DRM scheme going to include? A pint of blood every time you play the game so that t ...

I agree about the text. That has to go the way of the Ford Pinto and fast (at least, faster than the Pinto).One thing I wish game developers would do is stop creating the notion of 'even teams' on F ...

Ultimately everybody says they want balance--they like the idea of going one on one with another player and besting them. This is a nice, quaint idea that has roots all the way back into medieval ti ...

Until they can make blu-ray burners at and under $100, it's just not worth the investment for my PC. Home theatre? Sure, I can see a reason for it there but not in my PC. If I want to watch hi-d ...

Nothing in that list says anything that protects a company's bottom line. Game companies are there to make a profit, and returning merchandise, providing for a better customer experience are not par ...

Short answer? No. Long answer? Unless MS can find a specific reason that would tie their search engine into a good user experience, it will always lag behind. Personally, I use Google, and maybe ...

Whether or not he did this based on an potential RIAA lawsuit, or for other reasons, an appeal will help clarify some key points:1. Did the RIAA notice that he was being sued specifically state that ...

Comcast could potentially open itself to lawsuits if it allows traffic that a user might deem unnecessary, or unwanted. Any ads by comcast, its affiliates, or any information sold to third parties f ...

AMD has ATI, Intel has Larrabee, nVidia will have only a GPU market share. It's just not good business to sit on one product--even other hardware vendors are consolidating, buying each other out so ...

We have three computers running at our house, for my wife, myself, and our daughter. Plus an open spot when we have guests from out of town (which is rather frequent). I know in a single day it's ...
Posted 08/28/2008 at 07:19:10pm
Depends if each of them use 'custom chipsets' so that if you want Intel as your CPU, you're also stuck with an Intel-only GPU. Or nVidia. Or AMD. You might have competitive prices, but if the tr ...

If your wife is currently running a 6600, then she will certainly notice a definite jump in performance with this card. And at $60, it definitely allows for some budget gaming where money is a conce ...

This could just be a stopgap measure, as there are rumors about nVidia trying to break into the x86 chip market. If true, then nVidia may be trying to position itself so that it can be a 'gamers chi ...

Personally, I can't wait until the day that I can have a nice conversation with my computer about the latest game we're playing together. Especially if these 'highly intelligent' computers can updat ...

Ugh, Sims is the bane of my existence. My wife purhased everything with Sims 1, and with Sims 2. She is eagerly awaiting Sims 3, and I am going to invest in better headsets for her so I don't even ...

Ooh, so many to choose from, sadly. I'll go with Tribes: Vengeance, however, as that game utterly ruined everything that was fun about Tribes 1 (and even 2, to a more limited extent). Tribes: Ve ...

Until they find a way to cut some of the bloat out, and allow Vista to run at speeds comparable to XP on games... you'll still be playing 10% behind technology that was available years ago with XP. ...

The price ratio of movies on Consumers Still Shy on Blu-Ray; Missing Out on Glorious High Definition Cinema
Posted 08/13/2008 at 06:32:59pm
The price ratio of movies doesn't help, worse is the still fairly limited selection of titles. And the cost for the player alone is rather extreme at this point.Consider that I can go to WalMart and ...

Frankly, I'd be thrilled not to have to remember every mitigating password at every little site. I can't tell you how many times I've forgotten which password I'm using at which site at which time. ...

Well, I'm sure it's coming to a 'made for TV' movie sometime in the near future. It might be quirky fun for a mall kiosk, but it lacks any real-world usefulness. ...

Calling it a better means of overclocking is a crock. It's a new chipset, no different than nVidia having the 680i and then releasing the 790i. Of COURSE newer chipsets will improve performance.Sa ...

We're going to end up with 16.7 million themes that fit each and every possible color. Seriously. That and nothing else. However, hoping for the best, what about getting rid of the traditional br ...

Really? What's wrong with the horizontal ones, if you don't mind my asking? I personally hate having all the SATA ports spread out--I don't mind them in a straight line (it does help with zip-tying ...
