    Analyst: Surface 'Truck' Can't Compete With iPad 'Sports Car'

    I see a hell of lot more trucks and SUV's on the road than sports cars. If this analogy is true then the Surface will be a massive success.

    Diablo 3 Gamers Petition for Offline Gameplay Patch

    I probably won't buy it. I wasn't that interested to begin with. I've played enough MMO's to know that server down time is a serious issue.

    Apple CEO Pokes Fun At Multi-Device Spread of Windows 8

    Compatibility between devices is still important. Cook is wrong. Apple has always been about creating toys and Cook's strategy will probably work for Apple fans. I want to be able to run the same software on my tablet, notebook, and PC.

    How to hook a phone up to your computer for use with google voice.

    Thanks, I've seen the skype phones. I don't mind using a headset myself. I'm thinking of my wife who may have a difficult time getting used to the idea.

    What video card is best for WOW?

    If you want everything maxed with AA you don't need anything better than a 5750. I use a 9600gt and it runs fine maxed at 720p.

    How to hook a phone up to your computer for use with google voice.

    I rarely use my landline and was wondering if there is a way to hook up a phone to my computer for use with google voice. I have a computer that is on 24/7. I know there are headsets, but I don't want to be tied to my computer or have to put on a headset every time. It would be preferable to...

    Origin's PC/Xbox 360 Would Give You ''The Big O''

    It's nice but I don't see it selling well. It's too expensive. Yes, the parts are expensive and impressive, but you don't need that kind of power to run any game currently out on the market.

    MSFT Founder Sues Google, Apple, eBay, YouTube

    I thought this was a joke at first. I can't believe you can patent something like "Alerting Users to Items of Current Interest." It's extremely obvious that the ENTIRE patent system needs an overhaul.

    Crytek Says 3D is the Future of Crysis

    3D is AMAZING! I've played the original Crysis in 3D and it does add a lot to the game. Sure, a minority of people get sick/headache's from 3D, but that shouldn't stop the development of what could be the largest step in gaming immersion since Dolby Digital.

    Wall-Sized 3D Gaming With Nvidia 3D Vision

    DaFeesOk yes perhaps you can use an HDMI 1.4a receiver to connect a PS3 and PC to one display, but here's my main concern. Is there a 3D projector yet that like a 3DTV uses its own glasses. I mean how can I connect a PS3 and PC to a projector and get 3D? If you're asking if you can connect the...

    WoW May go Free-To-Play; Diablo II Turns 10

    I would not expect wow to go free to play for at least 5 more years. I'd be willing to bet it'll be closer to 10. Blizzard will not release a new MMO until they feel threatened buy ta competitor. Several good MMO's have come and gone due to incompetent management of said game. TOR will...

    Microsoft Shows it is Winning ''By the Numbers''

    tsnorquistI think Linux has a very viable opportunity for strong growth in up and coming countries/communities around the world. If a group of people haven't used computers or had access to computers often, they won't know the difference in what software they're using. True, Linux has become...

    Microsoft Shows it is Winning ''By the Numbers''

    I think Microsoft is generally doing a good job in the field of late. I'm happy with all of their products except Live-mail. I haven't tried office 2010 but I doubt I'll buy it. OpenOffice works nearly as well for the majority of office tasks and it's free. Google is doing some great...

    Microsoft Shows it is Winning ''By the Numbers''

    steelboxHotmail dominance, must be do to MSN Messenger. I have an Live ID just for messenger, but for normal emails and everything, gmail is my choice. I was thinking the same thing. Not only do you need a Live ID for messenger, you need a Live ID for EVERYTHING Microsoft, including Xbox...
