Battery life on most phones is greatly reduced by using your data plan. On any of the phones I have had I always have the data plan turned off. I don't need it on unless I am sitting and browsing the internet and there is always WiFi everywhere anyways now. If you can, try to live without your...

It's all about the base, bout the base....no treble!!!

Quick Tip: Google how to go into the registry and change the default user profile location to the non SSD storage. Then create a new user that will have all things (appdata, savegames, etc) automatically stored on the non-SSD drive. This will ensure that nearly any and all temporary files that...

Honestly, my feelings about OCZ aside, being managed by Toshiba will straighten out all the problems from when OCZ was just a company being run by a bunch of amateurs. OCZ is in good hands now.

Typically if your PC is completely losing power, it will 85% chance be the power supply. There is a 15% chance it is your motherboard, but honestly it isn't very likely. If your PC powers on, boots into windows, runs fine for a while, then the sound happens and the system shuts off, it is...

Intel has been doing this on consumer drives for reliability for a long time. OCZ cuts corners. From unstable DDR3 RAM to unreliable Vertex SSDs (Red light, bricked, within weeks of initial use), I for one won't buy OCZ products anymore without big warranties and longer-term support. I have...

I will not buy another EA title. Every game they make they overpromise and under deliver. EA, get your heads out of the sand and start making actual good games. Good games make money. If you focus on making games with the sole purpose of making money, the game will be terrible. If you focus on...

I think it is crazy that Toms rarely looks at Intel Solid State drives. We have done many SSD deployments and frankly nothing has been as reliable long-term as Intel. They are at a slightly higher price point, but it is due to a clear gap in quality between the average "consumer" drive and an...

Nice write up! Its nice to see some first timers taking a crack at it. I think you made good overall choices. A good rule is that when it comes to hardware there are no right or wrong answers. Everyone has their own preferences or opinions and as such I can see a lot of flak in the comments. I...

People still use Twitter?

I imagine a technology that would allow me to "overclock" my brain for a couple of hours/days at a time during a VR experience where I could attend school and obtain a 4 year degree in a matter of hours in the real world. Time is our most valuable asset, if we can find a way to "trick" the brain...

"The second feature we're thinking about is enabling modern apps to run windowed on the desktop versus only running in the immersive full-screen mode," So, the same ability that we always had when running any other standard applications. Bravo Microsoft team. Do you even know that your OS is...

Honestly? If the head of Apple's marketing can't see the absolutely obvious difference both in physical appearance, and GUI interface, as well as everything else between Samsung and Apple then I really think Apple needs to watch more sesame street. You know that song that goes "one of these...

Trying to have "one OS to rule them all" is a really bad plan by any calculations. The product life cycle of an OS really needs to be taken into consideration. A mobile OS needs a life cycle of about 6-12 months to be effective. A business OS needs a life cycle of about 5-7 year to remain...
