How the PlayStation 4 is better than a PC

Galego, I don't know what you want to prove here. Reading all this and the other threads, I get it: you like the PS4, even moreso because it is built around AMD parts. But your affliction for its success is blinding you from its potential to not meet expectations in reality. If I was a...

Bill Gates ant-hurricane patents

Amtocean is the company. The concept is pretty much what you described. http://www.popsci.com/node/9798

New Left4Dead2 footage from SDCC

I wish they'd have an upgrade pack that includes vampires, mummies, and werewolves. Zombies are pretty boring. Hunt vampires with a stake/crossbow. Shoot werewolves with a silver bullet. Fist-fight the mummy or something. A machine gun just makes killing zombies dull.

I see what you mean now. I didn't consider network file sharing at first. Only thought of it as download/upload speed.

Survey: Your Ideal Business-Class Notebook

Interesting survey. I'm partially biased since I just got a Thinkpad. Ranked trackpoint higher than the touchpad in the importance part. I wish Lenovo's screens were better. The one on my x200 is pretty crappy, but it's manageable. I'd have no problems paying for the difference if it was...

Thinking about selling my laptop

Lenovo CPP. Some forums don't allow the code to be posted: I'll post it if allowed. Probably a 20% coupon or something tacked on, since the starting price is $559. They also have Thinkpads for about $600. Great deal for a T400.

Is it only relevant in transfer speeds? Will download speeds for a file be affected?

is OnLive to bring an end to the graphic cards market?

Your posts barely make sense. Not a bit of "technical information" in anything. So my replies aren't serious? If someone says that this service will not work, then they're a joke? You must be some kid, because anyone older would comprehend how things work. It's more than just "But Perlman...

Anyone want to start up a picture hosting - type site/community?

I'll glady contribute what I know to help others when the site starts up. Wish you luck on the site and finding some people to help out. I'm too flaky for these type of jobs currently.

Nikon Lens Guide

The Nikon AF-S 35mm 1.8 is only $200, if ever in stock. On the digital scale, its about 45mm, so closer to an actual 50mm on film. The AF-D 50mm is about 75m, which in my taste is too long for some tasks. And manual is horrible for anything fast moving. Doable but frustrating. I have the 50mm...

Looking for a modern printer

My experience: I have an old laser printer from HP. I don't use it often, but before, a cartridge would last about 2000 pages. Granted the toner is $50+, it will last a light user a long time. I don't think laser is good for color anything. The toners cost too much and those color printers cost...

is OnLive to bring an end to the graphic cards market?

Do you know how businesses work? You can't seem to understand what I'm saying. I doubt there is going to be a million people in the first few years. I even doubt the possibility of 100,000. The current infrastructure of the Internet will not support it. Most users won't be able to use it. You...

YA(We never landed on the moon)T

I think nowadays people just don't care for hard work. If something isn't going to work in a week, then it's either impossible or faked. We give up too easily. Those working on the Apollo missions did not and couldn't give up. If they gave up, I bet the Soviets would be up there first. Great...

Difference between Maya and 3ds Max....

They're now owned by the same company, so there isn't a big difference as opposed to before (rival companies). I think Maya is the one most people use in the industry (gaming, film, etc). XSI is the main app in the game industry, but Maya is the general one that people learn about and can be...
