    Apple Punches Through Psystar's Ch. 11 Stay

    As much as I would love to agree with antilycus and his monopoly statement, i have to say that it is no a monopoly to want your own operating system on your "own" hardware. You dont see blackberry's OS on windows mobile phones for example.

    Steve Jobs Returns to Work

    I almost hate to agree with rhys, the iphone is by far the best phone available. Not because it is amazing in its hardware, though the hardware is close to being so, but because of support from developers. The apps are what make the iphone great. But aside from the iphone, i hate all their...

    Blu-ray Growing, but 58% Still Confused

    Quite honestly Im putting my chips in for digital distribution, not dvd or blu-ray. I currently have hundreds of movies in dvd quality and i buy my favourites in 1080 quality. Great thing is I have all those movies and they fit into a 2.5" portable HD. Combine that with the Western digital Media...

    Nvidia Says Core i7 Isn't Worth It

    blackpanther26one question why do they compare the i7 965EE $1000 chip to the E8400 $167 chip. When they could have used the i7 965 at $280? Is it Nvidia wants to scare people away from the i7 becuase of the way Intel is acting latly? Obviously because if they used the cheaper chip the...

    Time Warner, Embarq Hopes to Kill Little ISP

    vaguedreamsFirst let me preface that I am in complete support for the city of wilson and hope that these bills are not rattified. Just to play devils advocate though...I think the big issue is that the community service is running at near cost. Once the city completes it's overhaul then all...

    Time Warner, Embarq Hopes to Kill Little ISP

    The SchnozHold the phone here. Even though I agree that what Time Warner and Embarq are doing is ridiculous there is another story here. Greenlight is owned by the city itself. Doesn't that give them an unfair advantage?! This is basically a government run corporation that is weeding out the...

    QOTD: How Much Would You Pay for Uncapped Net?

    JudguhI shouldn't have to pay for a capped service. Caps should really only be put into place if a user is suspected of illegal activities. Granted, charter changed their policy for my internet service to have a 100 gig cap - and that's only if they decide that you're a problem should they...

    Congressman Unveils Bill to Fight ISP Caps

    dravis12It's not a government issue. Don't get me wrong, I hate cappin' as much as the next guy, but bringing the federal government into it will only cause problems into the long run.The U.S. government dosen't have the best track record with "solving problems" and not screwing the average...
