Personally, I don't think it's wrong to start phasing out a large number of general use labs, but it would be smart to probably reduce the size of them based on usage instead. I don't see the need for ...

Reagarding linkmaster's post about The Source (formerly owned by CC, prior to that they were RadioShack). It's true that Bell Canada bought out the chain, as far as I understand, it will operate in ...

I had to laugh at the 'Pentium' remark, I thought it was a Penryn?- mike_art03a IT Technician Gov't of Canada ...

Looks interesting, but as far a usability goes... not so good. if you could separate all the I/O and some how move it into a wireless dongle that sits beside the TV (bluetooth would be perfect for th ...

I kind of find it funny how people are blaming the consumer or the company fully, there's two sides to every coin.From what I've seen, seeing as I used to sell PCs and we'd have the oddball discount i ...

This story does have some credibility as a friend of mine was able to do it using his Asus board as well (model escapes me as Asus has too many freaking models), but it appears to be a random chance s ...

I'm inclined to agree as well, it kinda freaks me out seeing an old bald dude doing that. Now back on track here, the only real difference between WM 6.1 and 6.5 is the spiffied up UI and a newer vers ...

Heh, so I can finally toss my old P3 media-server out the window? Well, I'm not sure... while this seems like a sound idea, the problem is actually being able to manage the device. Will I be able to S ...

Well seeing as this is a laptop, the slapping an old drive in the case idea is out. It would've been smart to transfer her data to a removable drive or even burn it to DVD prior to even touching the d ...

May as well add my 2 cents here as well. One or two of these things would be great to have on my home server so I don't have to switch over to my server every now and then to monitor it's activity (I ...

Have you ever heard of bookmarks my friend? - mike_art03aIT Technician Gov't of Canada ...

I've generally never liked mail-in rebates myself, even when I was selling products with them back in my retail PC vendor days. I've never once gotten a mail-in rebate paid out to me. I sent one by r ...

Talk about hot blooded comments... John, Bender2000 does have a point, albeit the method of delivery was overkill. -.-;; MaximumPC tends to cater more to the middle to upper-end of the PC User spectru ...

Whoever thought about this culmination of two different technologies into one should be shot. Just exactly how the hell am I supposed to move this thing around a keyboard tray? Not mention, I bet this ...

Regarding under-powered parts and Vista 32-bit. I was aiming for a more middle-of-the-road type system. I made some sacrifices in order maintain cost-effectiveness. I'm not too concerned about speeds ...

Very useful how-to here. If you want more than one fan without the additional inverters, if you can get your hands on an old hardwired switch/push button activated PSU (386-P1 days) you can use the mo ...

Personally, I don't believe that having an app kill switch is all that bad... though it should be used for the right reasons. If there was some sort of malicious app that was released, by all means, g ...

I don't think SanDisk's MP3 players have been the most buggiest/crash-prone ones around, they have some issues, but usually most are fixed with a firmware update. If you want buggy, try some of Sony's ...

Webcam and Mic highjacking is nothing new these days, this probably the first one available that can target a wide audience instead of a limited segment of users (*cough* AIM *cough*). I always found ...

You don't always have to the greatest hardware to get a decent rig going. I have one built here that's just under 2g. I'm reusing my old keyboard, mouse & X-Fi card. It may not be a dream machine, ...

Let's face it, corporate giants have noticed that most people can't survive without a basic form of broadband internet these days and are more or less gonna squeeze people as much as they can until th ...

Why am I not surprised to see a MS blog pop up about the development of Win7? A good number of major companies are launching their own blogs to keep in touch with customers, but this can also be their ...

I really do find this funny, I thought broadband availability was higher in the US than here in Canada. There's also a lot more competition too in the US. In my area all we have is 2 major providers, ...

Well, there's an interesting debate going on now Efficiency vs. Performance vs. Price. Here's my take.-If you're a person who doesn't have a lot of money or doesn't need extreme performance, go with A ...

Can American politics get any uglier (or Canadian politics as well)? First it's these mandatory Secure ID/Passport at the border crap for canadians, now this electronic device seizure crap... what nex ...
