I payed $6.50 shipped for my mouse. I've never wanted anything other then what my mouse has - 2 butons and a scroll wheel. Every time i've used a mouse with more butons they just pissed me off.

$1200 for a mouse? - HAH! You could buy the most expensive intel processor and still have $300 left over for that price!.. sheesh. I don't think the people who made that mouse where thinking straight.

It could happen.

A year ago i bought a 750 GB hard drive for $160(the cheapest at the time) and now you can get 1.5 TB hard drives for $120 - or less if you want to lower the cache or RPMs.

at $160 for 750 GB it's - 21¢ per GB
at $120 for 1500 GB it's - 8¢ per GB

It would seem that if this keeps up a 14TB hard drive for $40 doesn't sound that far-fetched.

I have been useing AVG for about 2 years now and haven't had one virus get past it.

Well technically I haven't had 1 real virus yet so there arn't any for AVG to catch. I have had the random trainer give a virus warning, but it's always false positives.

Realy one shouldn't be getting viruses unless you are doing bad stuff to begin with. (torrents and such) Or if the person is just stupid and trusts all emails they get and all websites they go to.

I've been using vista now for about 2 years and i've yet to come across a program that I can't just compatibility mode to get working, and as far as I can tell, windows 7 is almost the same compatibility wise as vista.

What would one need to run in a windows xp environment that they can't run on windows 7?

Maybe a 16 bit app in a 32 bit virtual pc on a 64 bit pc?

I don't think you read what I said - I said nothing about human harm, or vibrations.

This tech uses magnetic fields and I was talking about a magnetic sensitive device (a hard drive) posably getting messed up by it.

It's not realy sending electricity through the air is it? As far as I can see reading it, all it's doing is making magnetic fields which are then picked up on the device(s) and a turbine of some sort moves from the field making electricity.

Wouldn't this reak havok on anything that is EMI sensitive? hard drives, backup tapes and who knows what else.. And what would happen if you placed a magenet near one of the recieving devices? Would it stop the flow and cause the power to drop?

Or am I totaly wrong on everything I just said?

I just don't get Kindles..

As far as I can tell - anyone techie enough to buy-download-and read a book on a Kindle isn't going to WANT to read a book. Let alone read one on a Kindle.

Question.. Will there be performance loss with DX11 vs DX10/9?

A few of my games - crysis, crysis warhead, bioshock, timeshift - all run faster with the -DX9 switch vs nothing/ -DX10 switch yet they look identical either way. Whats up with that?

People shouldn't be allowed to patent ideas as vague and often used as that.

If they keep allowing stupid patents like this someone is going to try to patent walking, or some random thing.

"Your breathing to fast, I patented breathing faster then X breaths per minute"

There are to many stupid patents.
