Hey Dave, is it possible that you can place the MSRP on these reviews?

Redmond Offers a Peek Behind the Windows 7 Curtain with New Blog

Posted 08/17/2008 at 01:36:43pm

I'm running Windows Vista Business with SP1 on my laptop and I don't have that problem at all.

Are you sure your laptop doesn't have a hardware problem? If it is indeed hardware, any operating system, including Windows XP, is going to give the same error.

How Cool Is Cuil?

Hey Chris, remember that Culi.com just launched on the 28th of July. Meaning they still have some improvements that they need to make.

Personally, I like the way the website is laid out in a "magazine" type format with columns. It makes it so much easier to view. Although, I do wisht hey had a picture search too or anything else that that big search engines do have.

I would say just give this site some time to implement some new features and I'm sure we'll be lining up to search.

AMD Stocks Hit Rock Bottom, Dive to 16-year Low

Posted 07/16/2008 at 12:55:43am

Must come up.

Seriously though, all the stocks are down below what they should be. In case anyone hasn't realized, we are borderline recession, so no big deal.

I expect AMD/ATI to pick it up after this recession, or whatever it is, is over. 

But now is the time to buy the stock.

Microsoft to Unveil DirectX 11 at XNA Gamefest

Everyone keep in mind that Windows XP came out in 2001. Windows Vista just came out in 2007.

There is no way Microsoft, or any other company really, is going to make new software or anything else for an operating system that came out in 2001. I do realize that it is a good operating system and I do use it myself, but really do you honestly think they want to keep XP alive? They want to sell Vista, period.

Old operating system = Old DirectX

The Computer Mouse Scrolling Towards Its Grave

Posted 06/25/2008 at 08:20:16pm

I really don't think the mouse is going to disappear anytime soon.

First off, I use my mouse for everything. Touchscreens get dirty and fingerprinty and eventually get scratched up. I know you can clean them, but eventually they look nasty and lose their appeal.

Mice do not have this problem, they may not look sexy, but honestly, gamers in particular are going to want the accuaracy of a mouse rather than the inaccuarcy of an iPhone-like device.

No BS Podcast #70 The "Is It Time to Buy a Mac?" Edition

Posted 06/15/2008 at 01:15:44am

Apple.... It was a decent podcast, but honestly it felt a little like you guys didn't know what you were doing. Like it was just thrown together at the last minute. Don't get me wrong, I thought the podcast was awesome, but just seemed thrown together. Keep up the awesome work on the podcasts. Look forward to the next one.

Daily News Brief: Newegg Sets Stage for Showdown with Amazon!

Posted 04/23/2008 at 07:59:40pm

Some of these programs really do have kind of a use to them. Smileycentral ads more smileys to IM conversations, in which some people I know really love. All of these little toolbars and such serve a purpose, but in the end if you get too many it becomes cumbersome and eventually takes over the Internet browsing experience. But still I wouldn't call them useless, just unneeded.

Surfing anonymously isn't a cure-all. They can still track you down. Your IP address has to come from somewhere, even if you use an "onion tactic".

No BS Podcast #58: The "The Boys Are Back in Town" Edition

Posted 03/13/2008 at 10:58:40am

Hey guys, just to let you know, it is possible to install Vista and (XP if you want) using the Vista upgrade version. You will have to use this guide: http://apcmag.com/5485/dualbooting_vista_and_xp Which states how to install XP with Vista installed first. You will have to use the "hack" to install Vista onto a fresh hard drive twice, then XP should install correctly. It will be a lot of improvising, but should work. It would work with Linux too, all you would do is install Vista first and then let Linux re-size and modify it.
