I played with an Asus VivoBook 202E at the local computer shop. Despite it's very modest Pentium 987 Proc (basically an ULV SB with a whole bunch of stuff turned off) Win 8 was very snappy on it and the touch screen worked really nicely with Win 8. If I wasn't a broke student I've have bought...

rds1220My thoughts exactly. The only people I can imagine buying this POS operating system are suckers or Microsoft's version of Isheep who will buy the lastest Microsoft software and proclaim it's the greatest thing sine the invention of the PC no matter how sh***y it is. Windows 8 has...

nuvonOh, I forgot to tell you iHaters, I have an S3. I really do. Obvious troll is obvious.

I fail, that's what I get for trying to think before my first cup of coffee (-;

Nerd correction, "1M times more efficient" would be 1000 times more efficient, the numeric abbreviation M stands for mega not million. What you want is either 1G (G for gigia, or 1 000 000) or just "1 million".

phatboeTitle is very misleading, scientist have been able to take pictures of single atoms for quite a while now We've been able to resolve single atoms on a surface of atoms, that is probably what you were thinking about. This research is effectively imaging the shadow of a single free atom...

Whether you can have more than one RAID array is dependent on your RAID controller, but it shouldn’t be a problem for anything designed since vacuum tubes were all the rage. For a system with a RAID 0 and 5 array you would need 5 drives minimum. Two for the RAID 0 and three for the RAID 5...

Raid 0 is for if all you care about is maximum speed at the cost of data security. RAID 1 and 0+1 have the same problem in there's no way to check which copy is correct if one of them gets corrupted. Ideally for speed and data security what suits most people best is RAID 5. Faster read...

Simplify a brilliant piece of research to the point of making it sound absurd much? Congratulations this is why you're a journalist, the people who most reliably let ignorance and/or incompetence ruin a good story. To everybody who says this sounds like pointless research, it would be if it was...

Snipergod87so for number 6 where he sais everything that makes heat is water cooled. What about the radiator? Woudlnt he need a seperate water cooling system to cool that. Because as everybody knows radiators CREATE heat and defiantly don’t DISSIPATE it. /Sarcasm

Slightly misleading article name Tom‘s, this is absolute SLI and CrossFire performance, not scaling. SLI and CrossFire scaling to me is the % improvement between running a single card and the same card in SLI or CF. For anybody who’s interested in those numbers I did some quick and dirty...

I pre ordered the Collector’s Edition months ago, I can’t wait to get my hands on it. I’ll defiantly be at the front of the queue for the midnight release, in fact I’m going to grab my sleeping bag and start camping out at the shop now. That trailer made me so excited after I watched it, almost...

For Pre Alpha that looks pretty good. The UI looks good, could use a tiny bit of polish but it looks well thought out and intuitive. I like the current Nokia OS’s, they’ve been able to properly multi task, copy paste, support flash and have open source development for years now. MeeGo looks...
