    System Builder Marathon, May '09: $600 Gaming PC

    pauldhThe SBM is not a CPU review, nor can we swap components for direct comparisons. We get one shot to pick the best for the buck. I didn't say an AMD processor couldn't be used, I said it wouldn't touch this system at this price. So yes, I chose the E5200 at my assigned budget as anything...

    Circuit City is Back, Sorta

    What a tremendous loss, they went baknkrupt for a reason, the pick up type location is a good idea though, they could also be used as an outlet type store for overstock and clearance

    Protip Microsoft: I'm going to put your OS on whatever I want to, from my netbook to my toaster, and if you don't like it, I'll grab it off a torrent.

    FCC Can Enter Your Home Without Warrant

    They still can't legally enforce it without a probable cause that would revolve around radio transmissions, I doubt most people are running pirate radio stations off their baby monitors, and if they do try to unjustly enforce it, I imagine the victim could take it to the Supreme Court and have...

    Report: SSDs Can't Replace HDDs

    Windows 7 Anytime Upgrades to be Sold at Retail?

    paranoidmageWhy would you sell such a big box if all it includes is a serial? How many people even buy boxed software anymore? Why is it always in such a large box when it's just a DVD and a manual? Because computers hate the earth! Haven't you seen Terminator? PS - This article title is...

    American Cable Association Wants Bandwidth Caps

    Like it or not ACA, you're going to lose cable customers to internet services like Hulu. While you're all together, you should be discussing a better business model where people aren't charged for 200 channels when they only use 5, your lousy analogy could be used just as well for that model...
