    Microsoft Deems Privacy A Fundamental Right, Asks U.S. And EU Governments To Obey It

    Damn I was tired and I first read the MS deems Piracy as a fundamental right and I was like hell high, I like em' now..... Sure I suppose Privacy is also OK but I think they only want the so called Privacy to go against Google, I don't really believe they care much about their user's Privacy...

    Huawei Passes Microsoft To Become The Third Largest Handset Manufacturer

    Yeah poor Huawei ... they must be selling them for pennies just to get some market share from Apple ... OK I know Apple is doing well, that it has a high margin and so on but Huwei and others are selling some pretty expensive phones too. Even their low end phones are higher priced compared to...

    So It Begins: Asus Strix Radeon R9 Fury Graphics Card Detailed

    When you see this and the cooling needed for this you start to realize some serious innovation needs to happen or we're screwed. I'm not sure quantum computers are the answer but it's clear silicon is reaching its limits.

    AOC's U2870VQE 4K Monitor Available For Just $349

    After seeing how the image looks on my current 23 inch fullHD IPS monitor I'm never going back to TN ever again. I couldn't care less if it's 4K and besides maybe 4K is a bit of an overkill , well for 23-24 inches anyway.

    Why A PC Diehard Bought A (Used) MacBook Pro (Op Ed)

    The real question here is Why does Toms write articles praising Macs every now and then ? Can you write an article about that. I'd love to know the answer and maybe some other readers would too. In each one the author ( not sure if it's the same one ) confesses he's a very big PC fan but...

    Samsung PN51F8500 Review: A 51-Inch Plasma HDTV With SmartHub

    I must say this TV does look incredibly expensive to me. Here in Romania I've been able to pick up a 50 inch LG plasma , FullHD ( no 3D though ) with some smartTV features for $700. It's got a nice, good quality image and it says it's assembled in Poland. To be quite honest I did find it...

    Amazon Fire Phone Now at AT&T, Gets Teardown

    Don't worry, you're not the only one. All Amazon was supposed to do was provide a cheap Android phone for people to buy their crap, err I mean content and services and all that. That is what they did with the Kindle Fire and it worked well, nothing fancy just a cheap tablet so people could then...

    Best Graphics Card for $48

    For that money you can't really get a good graphics card. You're better off buying a processor with integrated graphics but if you must get something a GT 630 1GB DDR3 128-bit seems to be the best you can get. Prices do vary so it might be a bit more in your country. Below this one though...

    After a 16-year Run, Winamp to Shut Down Next Month

    For anyone looking for a good alternative I highly recommend qmmp. It's a clone of Winamp 2 and works well in both Linux and Windows. It's also open source so it's as free as they come.

    Equipment Makers Want Telecoms to Upgrade Networks

    Well it's interesting but countries that should be highly developed have Internet connections that suck big time and are expensive too. In Romania one thing we do have is fast cheap internet and yeah, it's very nice to have 100 Mbps for 10$. It's all because one company invested in a fiber...

    Steve Ballmer Says It's Weird Going to Work; Trashes Google

    Well Mozilla has a browser for Android, Microsoft could develop IE for Android too, why doesn't it ? And Windows is still bundled with IE in many places ( everywhere but the EU I think ) and guess what, Chrome and Firefox have a huge market share on Windows. This says that your products suck or...
