Will Apple launch iPhone 5s in this year?

I think the main "real" use for NFC is as a means for payment, which is how it's commonly used in S Korea and Japan. Integrating this with Passbook would make sense, but the infrastructure needs to be there in order for it to be useful.

Update: $299 + Free Shipping! 15" Ultrabook wannabe (great mom laptop)

Questions for the OP: Are the memory and hard drive bays accessible from the bottom, or do you have to dissemble the chassis, remove the keyboard, etc in order to get to it? Also, does it have the wobbly, single sensor spacebar? These were the main gripes with the X401a, and the X501a looks to...

Best and worst CPUs since 1998

I gotta give a +1 to the 533A. Weren't all that popular but a really good overclocker for the money. I had one @ 824MHz on an Abit VH6 with a Golden Orb. That combo was what replaced my 300A @464 on Abit BH6.

any cheap laptops with 32gb ram?

The Dell Precision M4700 Mobile Workstation has 4 SO-DIMM slots and can take up to 32GB of RAM so that'll work.

Is a "user serviceable battery" important to you in a laptop?

None of the Inspiron or XPS models, but Latitudes do.

CPU hall of fame (sister-thread to the GPU one of same name in VC&G)

From my personal list of legendary CPUs, I started reading Anandtech because I went with the Celeron 300a @ 450MHz on an Abit BH6 a very, very long time ago. That compy got me through college. I gotta add the pencil trick Durons, I had a 700 @ 933 using the stock el cheapo heatsink fan, on some...

Motorcycle Helmets (HJC): CL-16 vs IS-16

I have an HJC CL-16, it's a decent full-face helmet and gets the job done, and if you buy retail and in person, they're usually around the $100-120 mark depending on whether they're on sale or not. While not the lightest, the construction is solid for its price point and the ventilation is good...

Most Frustrating games ever

I'd go with most of the old Sierra Adventure Games with the parser, when you got stuck where had no freaking clue what to type. But at least there were countless creative ways you could die in those games.

Ever wonder what car sells fast? really fast?

Might also be because it's the last model year before a refresh. The incoming model is supposed to get better mileage than the current model and shouldn't cost much more so people might be waiting on the new one.

G620 CPU, Radeon HD 6670 GPU + Antec Earthwatts 380 PSU

When AT tested the Radeon 6670, even with an i7 920, it drew less than 200W (can it play Crysis? kindasortamaybe yeah but that was the full load test), so with the G620, assuming you want to reuse your old PSU should be fine.

What is the oldest Mac PC or Apple iPod that you own?

Sawtooth (AGP Graphics) PowerMac G4/400 from around 1999 or so. It works, but I don't use it for anything anymore. Also have a Mac Mini G4 1.25 from 2005 that mostly works (the Airport/Bluetooth riser card died so gotta go wired) and is only borderline useful as an everyday desktop, even just...
