#1 Anything Intel has ever done with graphics. Hardware, Software, Drivers, you name it and Intel has completely failed at it.

Nice article. I would have liked to have seen a price/performance chart for each capacity. Possibly price/capacity chart. Looks like the Adata and Patriot at 16Gb are good deals.

30 - 40 processes that each use .000000000000000001% of the CPU don't really have anything to do with multitasking. Just about the only time my quad core desktop needs more than 1 core is when encoding video or playing games. I sure as hell haven't seen games worthy of using 4 cores on a phone...

Right click on your desktop, make the screen resolution 1024x768 and crank the dpi, so that all your icons are giant, then hide the task bar. Viola, Win8. Which is basically Win 3.1 with bigger icons.

"Overall, the differences are small, but the Kindle's real draw is its low $79 price tag. That's far more attractive than Barnes & Noble’s Nook at $139" So advertisement supported, non-touchscreen e-readers are comparable to regular, touchscreen e-readers now?

Actress was beautiful, effects looked nice, score was appropriate, but I have 1 serious beef with this.... Why are there human guards chasing her? I'm not sure the director "gets" Portal. This would be just as bad as the movie version of DOOM since they both appear to stray far from the game...

aaron88_7Nobody needs to remember their WiFi password. Once it's saved on your PC you don't need to re-enter it again. For that reason WiFi passwords should be completely random and as long as your router will accept. If a guest comes over and wants to get on your network just give them the...

All is takes is 1 non-common letter substitution to make a simpler (but not short) password avoid a word list. Then it's back to searching the whole key space. I only mention this because making your password so complex, you end up writing it down or re-using it is worse than making it...

Just a couple of thoughts..... "Higher Reliability Through Fewer Devices" This only benefits SSD's if you need high IO. If you need lots of storage it hurts SSD's. Think TB/s of backups for enterprise or your movie collection for end users. 1 HDD v.s. 3-4 SSD's. Also, we need to come back...

"So far, Valve has yet to respond to DeMartini's explanation." Ahhh... I wonder if it's a me too clause or something like that. Something like, if you sell DLC through service X, you need to also offer it to us. I would suspect that all developers using Steam have the full set of "new rules"...

Did anyone interview Valve for this article?

Don't worry, Wirth's law had this problem in check a long time ago.

So how many Sysmarks faster does a Word doc open w/o encryption? Please don't rely primarily on synthetic benchmarks for testing, it's useless to people who don't regularly use Blobmark or whatever. Also, a regular laptop HDD and a desktop HDD should have been tested. Real world testing! I...

"We need to get these paranoid programmers, hunched in the shadows, scribbled secretes clutched in their fists, working together, for any of them to succeed." BS, proprietary programmers succeed just fine, it's the OSS guys that can't get the market share. "it is the proprietary licensing...
