How about Tomshardware stops misinterpreting news by giving it grandiose titles. - The minister in question isn't "[The] German Government" - A newspaper (who is affected by the proposed legislation) ran with that tweet to generate a headline "Minister indirectly calls for Google boycott" - The...

I find the spelling in that post much more offensive than the fact that it's spam...

That just makes me realize that my Q6600 is getting really old. Combined with my 4870 it still plays all dx9 and most dx10 games perfectly. I guess the list of games that are top of the line graphics intensive, fun, and have a satisfyingly singleplayer experience is too short to warrant a full...

unless they get support for all the other image formats as well , this is just a half-***ed attempt.

I also missed the Commodore line of pcs

i4i are not patent trolls. From what I can recall, they are a small company that deals with the automated conversion of text into computers. It's their patent, and microsoft knowingly infringed on it. And now justice is served.

I'm quite happy that it's coming back, I really liked it. It's such a shame that Failboat studios never fixed the damn bugs that were reported during the beta... Trying to do way too many things at once... The game had 4 exe's ! 32 and 64-bit single and multiplayer exes...

I also have a nice story about PSUs, although in retrospect it makes my hair stand up. Back in the Pentium III days, I had a Dell whose PSU gave up after just about 2 years (capacitors blew), and Dell wanted an outrageous 400$ for a new one. So I said screw that, when out, bought an el cheapo...

I thought enthousiast visit this site. And I would expect them to check where a link takes them before they click it... "3d-porn-test-r-rated-mp4.html" pretty much gives it away what you can expect.

Concerning GuildWars: "quests and encounters were endured locally on the gamer's PC" Wat? All non-town areas are instanced, meaning you won't run into other players that are not in your party. The player still plays online, nothing is done "locally". "Servers also played matchmaker for players...

The minimalistic budged aside, I'm sure there is demand for these specialized architectures. However I can't imagine entire data centers running only on ARM powered devices that have been engineered to do one thing extremely efficient. A scenario would be rendering HTML5 pages, but a year from...

Interesting concept for a mouse, similar to the mobile designs from Motorola (RAZRs). I wonder how sturdy the arc is though. And btw, it's billiger, meaning cheaper, not Billinger.

I understand why a mobo would want to deliver so much power to all components, but the CPU? What CPU could possibly handle 1.5kW ? Even if you poured liquid nitrogen directly onto the die, todays CPUs would still fry if you applied 1.5kW to them...

I'm also calling BS on this story. The screen looks like he just wiped some mud on it from the same puddle he dunked his mouse in. He did sacrifice his keyboard though.
