    Did you get the Windows 10 upgrade notice?

    Just a FYI folks, even if your computer doesn't have Windows 10 installed, there's a good chance it's already there, just waiting to be installed. http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2425381/microsoft-is-downloading-windows-10-to-your-machine-just-in-case

    Sony to sell "Premium Sound" Micro SDXC Cards

    Sony is planning on selling Micro SDXC cards that are $100 more expensive than typical cards of that size, because they allegedly "produce less electrical noise" and thus have better sound. And if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you as well...

    Best ways to speed up an old Macbook?

    Just an update on this.. I ended up formatting the HDD and installed a copy of Mountain Lion, but the performance still sucks. Quite slow and hangs up A LOT. Should I be scanning hardware at this point? And also how would I do that? Or are there any other suggestions?

    Best ways to speed up an old Macbook?

    I forgot to mention that we don't have the original discs. We got this refurbished some time ago. I mean, if push comes to shove I could always "get" a copy of SL, but is that the only real thing to do at this point?

    Best ways to speed up an old Macbook?

    My wife's old Macbook is running very slow lately. It is an older model (like I said it's a Macbook, the white ones they don't make anymore) and still running Snow Leopard (We never upgraded due to some legacy programs.) Unfortunately I'm a Windows guy so I don't really know how to fix up a Mac...

    Good PCs for Game Playing

    When I rebuilt my PC, I got the i5 2500k and the nVidia 460 SEv2. At the time they were rated best bang for buck, although not the most powerful. A year later they're still running great, and I haven't even overclocked the processor yet. If you decide to do the separate CPU/GPU here's a few...

    Ordered my new iPad Mini

    I dunno... I can't remember the last time I thought to myself, "Man, I wish my iPad was faster!" What really is the benefit? Does stuff just load faster?

    Ordered my new iPad Mini

    No interest here. My iPad 3 still works just fine and I like the bigger screen. To each their own.

    Buy Windows 7?

    I don't blame you. I had no exposure to Win 8 until I had to get new laptops for my family and I think it's just atrocious. It's so unintuitive and disorganized that I just yearn for 7. Luckily I have an ISO file and some keys (no, I'm not fishing for an offer) so I can install it if necessary...

    What's on your home network?

    I have a custom built i5-2500k with 8 GB Ram and GTX 460 SEv2 with 3TB of storage space (along with a SSD for the OS and games.) This acts as my entertainment hub, as it is hooked up to a Plex server that broadcasts to basically everything in and outside the house via my Airport Extreme. It's...

    IE 10 forced upgrade

    Yeah well.. this "admin" also chose to deploy a website without the right connection string in the web.config because we left it blank with the message of "To be filled in by the admin" and then tried to blame ME when the website bombed out... so I'm not giving any benefit of the doubt here...

    IE 10 forced upgrade

    I hope my IT guy at my job isn't a complete moron and prevents this from happening to our machines. We use programs that use the IE renderer to render web pages and they aren't compatible with IE9+. My machine still has IE 8 as a result. If this thing gets installed on my machine I won't be able...

    Windows 8 OS,Tablet, New Win 8 PCs News Thread

    Can anyone comment on just how difficult Windows 8 is to learn? The reason I ask is that my dad is in the market for a new laptop and they ALL have 8 on them. I have NO experience with the OS as I haven't had a reason to upgrade, and my dad is about as tech-savvy as a gnat. Is it going to be a...

    Hulu's future uncertain as Disney and News Corp. reportedly discuss selling their stakes

    Why the hell would anyone get Hulu if they have cable television? Hulu is for people without cable! We cut the cord 2+ months ago, and even though I still get basic cable services (they never blocked that part of the signal) I pay for Hulu because I like that past episodes are available for me...
