    Apple Says Scratching on New Aluminum iPhone 5 is Normal

    I noticed it was easy to scuff when I saw someone doing a review of it. After just a few days of having the phone, it looked like crap.

    Sapphire Shows Us its Radeon HD 7970-based Vapor-X 6GB

    blazorthonI'm pretty sure that here in the first word of second paragraph, there should be a capitalized letter s before apphire. It's probably a copy and paste error.

    Unreal Engine 4 Not For Current Platforms (Except Kepler)

    greghomeUm.......Angry Birds?......Epic has become a lazy a$$ developer like half the world's video games industry from what I can see.Not making games for Windows because piracy is worse in that segment? Try idiots too lazy to spend some time optimising performance for different Hardware...

    The Windows Phone 7.5 Review, A Month-Long Experience

    What a load of crap. Multitasking is a clear 3rd on Windows Phone. First, the "cards" you see only show 1 app at a time. You get half an app above and half below. Then you have some apps that have been updated to support multitasking and some that haven't. Have fun reloading your apps. Don't...

    Workstation Storage: Modeling, CAD, Programming, And Virtualization

    I find the result from compiling quite interesting, as I've always thought of compiling as a largely disk IO bottlenecked process. I would have figured an SSD provided significantly more benefit than a 2 disc RAID 0 would... I think agnickolov is onto something with his comment, though.

    DDR4 Memory Prototypes Demostrated at ISSCC

    SAPMAN2Whatever benefits AMD would get from DDR4 Intel would get also so nothing changes on the bandwidth front. Not sure why someone would think this only helps AMD. Bandwidth isn't the only thing slowing down AMD CPUs by the way. In fact, it is probably last on their list of things to fix...

    Leaked: Acer's Got Two Tegra 3 Tablets

    I hope these are a lot better than the throw away tablets they made with Tegra 2s. The A500's battery life and general quality was lacking.

    G.Skill Launches RipjawsZ Quad-Channel Memory Kits

    soccerdocksWhy do 8 gb dimms cost so much? You can get 8 GB (2x4GB) for as low as $30 but its $230 for similar perfomance 16 GB(2x8GB). Why do they cost soo much more to manufacture? 4 GB dimms have been around available cheaply for a long time now so why is the adoption to 8 GB dimms so slow...
