    Canada Wants Software Backdoors, Mandatory Decryption Capability And Records Storage

    I notice that you note bill 1 was passed under a "conservative" government, but don't bother to note that this present bill is being pushed by a liberal government. Any particular reason, or is your bias just showing?

    Windows 7 Ad Highlights Mac's Lack Of Blu-ray

    xbeaterSO WHAT?? They give you the flexibility to make it work. The only reason that M$ doesnt have builtin BluRay support is because of massive licencing fees probably. just TRY and get bluray on your mac, is the point they are trying to make. Actually you can get blu ray on your mac...blu ray...

    Steve Jobs Tells Student: ''Please Leave Us Alone''

    a) There's at least a decent possibility it wasn't jobs. b) If it was, it only reconfirms (for at least the 100th time) that jobs is incredibly arrogant. He doesn't give two craps about customers or anyone else for that matter, unless it feeds his HUUUUUGE ego. The guy drives a plateless Benz...

    Four Retro Consoles Torn Apart and Photographed

    wotan31Well yeah, now we have the Windows OS, which requires 2 cores and 4 GB of memory just to boot up. Software back then was actually written efficiently, and in the absolute minimum number of lines of code required. Lots of coding then was done in ASM (assembler), so one naturally wrote...

    Four Retro Consoles Torn Apart and Photographed

    Cmartin011SHAM on xbox and ps3 they hardly live up to the reliability standards of the one stuff That, at least partially, is because the more complex you make a console (more transistors, more processors, more cores, more intricate gpus) the greater the likelihood of something going bad. That...

    Intel Buys Texas Instrument's Cable Modem Line

    Why is the pic of a motorola modem? And why doesn't Intel just stick to what they are really good at? At least they offered to let everyone keep their job, I just wonder if it's at 100% salary and benefits...

    Microsoft Recommends Chrome for Hotmail.. Huh?

    I'm kinda proud of microsoft right now??!?! They are big enough to actually admit something works better than their product, and they uncover the fact the some things interact better with their products than their other products. Maybe they'll...fix it! Maybe not...:(

    QOTD: PlayStation Move or Kinect for Xbox 360?

    rcmaniac25Kinect, I'm a programmer (some time ago I read that MS said it would work on the PC too) and it just seems like it would have a lot more options to work with and could be used for more then just games. The Move controler doesn't seem like it would be as good as the Wiimote, which...

    QOTD: PlayStation Move or Kinect for Xbox 360?

    This is a ridiculous question that Tom's poses to keep people on their site and generate hits; and has no relevance to anything that is real yet. And apparently it works bc I'm posting now. Here's the thing...the Move isn't out. And Kinect really hasn't been put thru its paces. It's liking...

    MSI Ships 17'' GX740 with Radeon 5870, Core i7

    stephen0983looks like a winner. not sure why you'd want 1080p on such a small screen, guys. also that 5870m is the equivalent of a 5750 1gb or 5770 1gb, which is good for this resolution, probably not as good at 1080p.as for blu-ray, powerdvd software is awful, i regret getting a blu-ray drive...

    MSI Ships 17'' GX740 with Radeon 5870, Core i7

    MrHectorEricAn Asus G73Jh-A1, has the same GPU and probably the same i7 version CPU, but has 8 GB DDR3, 1 TB storage, BlueRay drive, and 1920x1080 resolution, for $300 more. To me, while more expensive, the Asus is the better value. Much rather have the Asus. Anything less than 1920x1080 on a...

    What the PS3 Needs to Compete with Kenect

    Why do people keep comparing the 360 price to the PS3? Its not even close to an apple to apples comparison. PS3 has way more processing power, bluetooth, comes with wireless built in, and an industry leading bluray player (or was at my last check). PS3 = $299 360 = Arcade (when I purchased...

    iPhone 4: Who Needs the iPad Now?

    San PedroDon't need a smartphone. Completely agree. They do make many things more convenient though. In addition, I'm not sure the iPad was ever all that useful. Many of my technophile friends have bought them, and I've spent a considerable amount of time on them, I just don't really see them...

    AMD: 2D Performance Progress in Windows 7 With Catalyst 10.4?

    the greater goodTA152H, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to...
