Drop to the Corsair 750TX PSU, and save $30 up front (just $20 after rebate), while still leaving some headroom for power.  I'd put that toward a Seagate 7200.11 1.5TB HDD -- still pretty fast, with ...

Not true at all.  That is supposedly "required", but since Newegg doesn't try to screw its customers over with that baloney, you don't have to buy anything but the software.  A few weeks b ...

Will we see a MaximumPC review of these any time soon? ...

I thought the same thing when I first read 100kg, but you have to consider 2 things:1) By 2015, the machine will probably be capable of lifting a good bit more.  If not, improvements (and competition ...

DX10 wasn't the improvement everyone hoped for (much like Vista), but it's also fair to say developers didn't spend enough time with it to use it as efficiently as possible.  DX9 is well-known to dev ...

I'm really not trying to be a jerk on purpose here, but on the planet I live on Windows 7 DID get a late 2009 release.Also, being a software developer and knowing just a little about Microsoft's devel ...

I would just like to point out that 110V very much can kill you -- it's just unlikely to happen.  Anything under about 1000V will cause your muscles to contract, which is why it feels like getting pu ...

I have to support Micro-USB over Mini-USB.  Mini-USB just isn't "mini" enough to save space on the smallest devices.  I think it should be mandatory (I'm pretty sure South Korea did this a ...

More specifically, it comes from the naming convention of the Intel 80x86 line of processors.  When you ran the old 286, 386, and 486 PCs, they were based on the 80286, 80386, and 80486 architectures ...

Do you read the magazine and/or website?  Norton 2009 was considered one of the best (if not THE best) boxed Antivirus apps this year.Granted, there are multiple antivirus and Internet security apps ...

See the following review: Antec 900 TwoJust bought one for a Core i7-860 based machine I'm building.  The top fan is bigger than my hand at full spread.  Can't comment on how easy it is to install i ...

That would defeat the purpose of patents.  Let's say I come up with this great design for a new vehicle feature (not just an idea -- a design), but prototyping it and perfecting it will cost around $ ...

I'm willing to bet this was an article either in the magazine or meant for the magazine (haven't seen that article yet if it's it this month's).  That format is actually quite print-friendly.  It ju ...

I would just like to point out that PDF is not a proprietary Adobe format.  Not anymore.  It was published as an open standard (ISO 32000-1:2008) in 2008.  It's been 1 year, and already the number ...

I think I had PDFCreator installed on Vista 32-bit.  I'm running Win7 RC x64, and I think I'm using CutePDF right now (not on my computer at the moment).  Both use Ghostscript as their engine, so th ...

I agree with this judge's ruling -- a rare event in technology-based court cases.  Domain squatters are malignant tumors on the Internet.  They violate the premise of domain names and the registrar ...

If you think the fact that people are larger has convinced airlines to do anything about the size of their seats, you obviously haven't been on a domestic airline flight recently.  I fly on a regular ...

I love when companies refuse to learn from history, good or bad.  Do you know why Visa has been so successful?  Because they don't charge the consumer -- they charge the merchant to be part of their ...

You are making a common false-statistics mistake that there is no overlap in the PS3/Blu-Ray Player percentages.  It is plausible that the 7% of Blu-Ray Player owners is a subset of PS3 owners.  It ...

On the one hand, I applaud EA for taking a creative approach to the problem -- give people a reason to buy instead of pirate.  Sort of.  At the very least, they will get those "ride the fence&q ...

A LOT of people are bitching and moaning about this on the Facebook Blog comments for this post.  I don't get what everybody is so worked up about.Facebook is doing one thing: giving you a unique use ...

I'm going to assume that just sounded like you were berating my coherency, since those sentences were fairly well-formed -- even more so given their informal setting. ;-)I'm with you, though.  The ed ...

There is a small part of me that thinks Microsoft is doing this on purpose. "Let's leak the Beta release to get everybody excited and talking.  We'll get everybody to pre-order their copy this t ...

I agree with similar sentiments below that say these numbers are a flawed statistic for several reasons.  We may, in fact, have more "nasty sites" per site hosted, more "nasty sites&qu ...

Compatibility mode doesn't fix all problems, and it didn't even do so in XP.  Compatibility mode "tries" to make your app think it's running on an older OS.  I'll be honest in that I've ne ...
