Damnit my post didn't work. Oh well it was kinda windy anyway. In short, I've found the beta plenty playable even on my older machine. Stressing the servers and back-end optimizations is what they are doing, and doing a good job at it so far. In game bugs have mostly been resolved for final...

Uh, I read this as Whitman promising that they are re-evaluating the situation, (and may or may not proceed with the spin-off) not that she intends to follow through with Apotheker's plan. Maybe I'm reading out of context. I'm too lazy to look up the full statement/transcript.

Saw that on IGN too.. makes me wonder who these analysts are and who pays them to make shite up for a living.. nevermind the fact that this analyst thinks Blizz will announce a release date for Diablo 3.. clearly they don't know dick all about how Blizzard works.. they do not announce release...

Loving the beta so far, though battlelog is something I'm not crazy about, it has grown on me. I would hope for an option to use either ingame interface or battlelog. BTW, I'm running a GTX 260 with 4GB ram and about 2.83ghz quad core and everything runs beautifully. Not exactly on Ultra, but...

Personally, I liked it best the old way, before all these betas started. I'm not a fan of changes to the layout, especially when my eyes are trained to look at a particular section of the page when it loads up (in the middle for headlines, for example) and now that's moved. It causes me great...

For that kind of money it should include some drives at least.. I don't quite get why all these NAS devices on the market now cost so much, even for the 2-4 bay consumer level ones.. seems like just adding a RJ-45 to an external drive enclosure triples the price. It may be a bit bulkier but I'd...

Uh, one might argue that Oracle is the offender here, hiring Hurd in the first place. Seems like a sketchy move at best so soon after him resigning. Almost like the whole harassment thing was just a ruse to get out of HP and jump in bed with Oracle.

People still on xp sp2 are probably using illegitimate copies of xp if they are home users, or simply have automatic updates turned off and don't know any better. Really no other reason not to update to sp3(for home users).

Of course the VP of Mobile Content is going to say that at a mobile tech conference. It doesn't mean he knows what he's talking about. Personally I don't think it's a coincidence that there's more crap on the internet (twitter comes to mind) since the advent of 'mobile web'. Technology is too...

Pretty smart, and shocking MS isn't charging royalties for implementing it.. they could have made a killing off of it, but this ensures wide adoption by manufacturers relatively quickly. I've never had problems myself, but members of older generations and less tech-savvy will certainly...

"The difference between ketchup in printer ink, however, is vast." Stop spewing your lies HP!! Heinz makes Ketchup and HP sauce.. coincidence?

Love how firewire costs the most. Must be aiming at the apple segment there and adding the requisite tax.

yay for Montreal.. I'm just far enough away it would cost me about the price of Win 7 Ultimate in gas to get there, plus I'd have to drive back :P

Seemed odd to have this in the news section, but it is a great guide. A How-To section would be awesome to have, especially if they're as well put together as this one. Keep them coming for sure :)

Best practice is to use a normal user account and use the 'run as administrator' option for those applications that require it. Heck, in vista at least you even need to use run as when logged into an administrator account half the time, so how different would it really be. Most of us here know...
