Tom's really just wants people to click on the links and buy to make themselves money. Proof is the tag in the amazon link: &tag=bom-tomshardware-20

Wikipad? The name sounds like it should have free 3G for life and be optimized as an encyclopedia. An intentional version of what the kindle can be used for. The price would be a little steep but at least it would have a function that other things aren't better at.

With those punishments, it seems better to just steal physical CDs from a record store if you can find one... Seems insane to get 10 years in prison for uploading a song. Not saying stealing is ok. I just think 20 years for rape and 10 for uploading a song is a little out of whack.

This is awesome. Fines only go so far. Publicly apologizing for misbehaving should always be part of a frivolous lawsuit punishment.

I'd like to point out how horrible this metaphor is. They're saying a Ford F-150 would never outsell the Tesla Roadster? Hmm: F-150 - sold about 580,000 trucks last year Roadster - sold about 2500 cars total Don't get me wrong, there's no car I want more than a Tesla Roadster, but to compare...

Cool marketing but this doesn't control for the thickness of the phone backing, the material the backing is made of or the distance between the chip and the backing. All of these things can make a huge difference in heat transfer.

Also, for certain types of displays, they can't use plastic as a substrate because it can't handle the processing temperatures. Glass can.

I'm in grad school developing a new kind of battery and I have a few things to say about this: 1) I assume this is Yi Cui. He is amazing. 2) There's nothing special about nanotech making batteries better. The key is making them cheap. I mean, this is good research but don't get so excited just...

ohimWonder when phones will start again to have 3-4 days between rechargers .. (not talking about 1 week +) for now most of the smart phones are totally useless if you plan to be away from a power outlet more than 24 hours. That's not a technological challenge but an engineering design decision...

Also, it's not like developers wouldn't use more powerful graphics power if they could. If anything is killing discrete graphics, it's that they have to develop for outdated console hardware that integrated graphics has caught up to.

How has Intel killed discrete graphics when AMD's Fusion processors still have significantly better graphics than HD4000? Shouldn't it be "AMD killed discrete graphics"? I'm not even on the AMD bandwagon. Intel makes better processors right now. I just don't understand how it's HD4000 that...

amuffinForce Series 3 120gb SSD is only $109 After Rebate at your local frys! http://www.frys.com/ads/page7 Why was this down-voted? He's not a bot, he's right about the price. I'd rather pay $109 than $115, but I guess that's just me...

At what point can we start dropping the advertised "a/b/g/n/ac" compatible tag? 2 or 3 standards from now, it'll get a little ridiculous...

shin0bi272True but if youre willing to risk your hardware on it first be my guest. And note your comment about 80C gpu... at 77C its barely any better than plain copper. So if you extrapolate that to temps above 77C it will be worse than copper. And Neon: When did they start making graphene...

joytech22Wow.. 15K?If Obama was here he'd say.. "Not bad". (Terrible TERRIBLE meme reference aside..)I wish I had 15k.. I would swoop up one of these babies.It BETTER autofocus while recording without any motor noise for that much money. If you had 15K, you'd spend it on this? To each his own, I...
