Anyone remember GTA: San Andreas? How the plot is driven by framing the main character for the murder of one cop? When, by the time you've gotten to that point, you've probably murdered dozens of ...
Ubuntu does label things in on Microsoft Plans to Inundate New PCs with Ads-ridden Office 2010 Starter Edition
Posted 10/09/2009 at 11:25:26am
Ubuntu does label things in English, and you don't even have to touch the command line if you don't want to. All that's left is the games, and frankly, it's more a matter of game devs supporting Lin ...

Bit of a correction on T-Mobile there... on AT&T to Let You Patch the Dead Zone in Your House for $20 per Month
Posted 09/21/2009 at 10:56:32am
T-Mobile's Hotspot@home service is actually free if you buy a compatible phone. The extra $10 per month is only if you want unlimited calls over VOIP, or a separate line for VOIP, rather than VOIP c ...

As much as I'm not a fan of patent trolls, I must admit to a certain amount of schadenfreude here. Microsoft has built its empire, in part, on (over)zealous enforcement of its software patents, so i ...

If you want future upgradeability, go with Phenom II and an AM3-based board. AM2+ may or may not be phased out soon; it's all rather iffy.Otherwise, I see no reason not to go with Core2's. ...

With this price cut, the C2Q chips finally (just barely) match performance with equivalently-priced Phenom II X4 chips. Before this, going with Phenom II was your best option for a budget build. S ...
