Your TL: DR part didn't make a whole lot of sense but I'll try and provide what I can. I setup my HT room with a HTPC like your desktop for pretty much the same reasons. With respect to image quality, that's going to depend on your TV. I have my HTPC connected (HDMI) to a 58" Panasonic Plasma...

I know 1080p isn't the focus, but considering that games like Crysis 3 and AC: Unity still can't run with all settings maxed out (incl AA), I would've like to see where this card stands with respect to those games.

Its a very interesting and valid point re: physical distribution. Without it, you're exposure is limited to those in-the-know.

While Sony removing 'OtherOS' support from the PS3 is a straight knee-jerk reaction to the recent GeoHotz developments, what I'm surprised at is the sheer level of panic and fear that Sony has expressed in such an action. Has no one at Sony noticed that the 360 has significant levels of piracy...

I love how some people are completely ok with a private company using brute force as a measure for security. A Bank won't even get that rough with you for taking pictures inside / outside the premises. The point of the article was to communicate the extreme measures being used for the sake of...

xrodneyThey are not same, but not opposite either. Communists do use teror, they do both jail or shoot people that dont like to be silent sheep in corner. In past 6 decades there was millions of people killed, tortured, put in jail or sent to gulags in siberia in europe just becase they were...

demonhorde665that 1.25 bill has NOTHING to do witrh intel's US activites , that was a EU issue , the FTC is bringing the mattter of intels illegal US activites to light, that is what this is about . it's like a international murder , if they kill folks in two differnt countries , and say he...

snarfeckok so ggf bought piratebay, got kicked off a big stock exchange, and found a smaller one for people to invest in them? i'm just trying to figure this out haha... The purchase hasn't occured yet. Part of the purchase involves shares, which is why they had to find another stock market to...

Real silly in my opinion. Unless MS is providing their employees with complimentary cellphones, they're free to select any phone they wish. I work for a bank and I can have other bank credit cards without having to hide it or anyone getting their panties up in a knot. Its just a phone. The...

valcronPeople may not like it and ill get flamed for this. But I play MMO's and I can honestly say they are an addiction. Most will refute this but personally I think its just denial. Similar to drinking, denying they have a problem. (Not that everyone who plays MMO's get addicted, just...

major7upI am not certain how relevant these stats are in terms of lost sales. Is tehre any way to tell what countries are the biggest offenders and possibly project from which countries sales might be lost? I know that I would rather pay to see it in the theatre or have a legit DVD and I think...

Jane - Don't sweat any errors, we all (decent people) appreciate the effort you and all of Tom's goes through to post news. As for everyone else complaining about grammar errors and getting critical, how about the fact that you're not paying to go on Tom's nor is anyone forcing you to. If you...

I truly hope they keep fighting against it although you can't help but feel doubtful when protests such as the ones in Iran don't seem to provide fruitful efforts (yet).

tpi2007China is a dictatorship. It's official, they say it themselves, albeit in a very 'unusual' way. They call it a "people's democratic dictatorship". It's on their Constitution, believe it or not. His label, although made in part to be ironically funny, is unfortunately correct. Except he...

I don't understand. I went to dictionary.com and looked up "Conflict of Interest" in case the definition changed. Here's the first entry: –noun 1. the circumstance of a public officeholder, business executive, or the like, whose personal interests might benefit from his or her official...
