... does anybody see a problem here? Maybe I'm just crazy.

... does anybody see a problem here? Maybe I'm just crazy.

I am sorry to be picky, but this paragraph doesn't make sense. Should there be an open quote in "... entire product line. There are still..." between the period and "There"?

Translation: sometime in July.

Enforcing one architecture means necessarily excluding others. If they strictly enforce a single architecture among manufacturers, and disallow other possibilities, they are shooting themselves in the foot by restricting innovation. The whole reason a variety of architectures are roaming the...

slicedtoad@buttluvumm i havent seen any mention of them abandoning the high end market...They're just competing. Can't let apple own the only laptops in this segment. This doesn't mean they aren't still working the high end. Umm... Last I checked, Apple used Intel CPUs int their MacBooks. As...

stalker7d7Basic supply and demand. Too much supply, and there will be no demand. Too much demand leaves no supply. You have the right idea, but remember that supply is not based on demand or vice versa, they are independent factors. It should actually read: too much supply relative to...

keczapifrytkiDoes this mean that we will eventually get free internet access all around USA? Be careful about how you define "free". If you mean that you wont have to pay for it directly through a monthly bill from a company, then yes. The cost of a public internet service in the US would...

SmileyTPB1To all of you MS lovers in here who are complaining that MS gets a bad rap when they really are a good company, (they must be look at all of those billions) apparently don't know how bad of a ride it has been with MS for the last almost 3 decades. Apparently none of you remember how...

xerrozOk then I'll just let time pass so that Deus Ex HR goes down to $5 and then MAYBE I'll buy it but without trying it out first (by pirating) there's a high chance I won't buy it at all. Square Enix have said they will not be releasing a demo of this game so don't pull the "play the demo"...

graphene is also extremely expensive, but that is changing quickly and may no longer be true as new industrial processes are introduced

de5_royintel, amd, nvidia should talk with the retailer so that they don't inflate hdd prices.....amd's 4% loss will impact them more than intel's 4.7% loss will impact intel. Everyone in the industry is doomed to lose money over this, it is a production volume issue. If not as many HDD can be...

joey532Thats what they get for putting all their eggs in the same basket. What on earth are you talking about? Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Texas Instruments don't buy HDDs for their own purposes, they sell a complementary product in a common industry. They aren't putting all their eggs in one basket...

iam2thecroweare all hard drives 100% produced in thailand? or only parts of them? Are there any HDD's not made there that are unaffected? Plenty of hard drives are not produced in Thailand, but they are still effected. The ones still produced are members of a smaller supply. The only way to...
