    Nvidia 800 series desktop cards soon?

    The 700 desktop series (aside from 750/750ti) are rebrands. 800 series will be 20nm GPUs with the new Maxwell architecture. I'd definitely wait. The 750/750ti (Maxwell GPU architecture but still on the old 28nm process) already show a huge increase in performance/watt. I can't wait to see...

    GTX 770 vs. 780

    Definitely. Gigabyte's Windforce model has better thermals and lower noise, and can be had for the same price as a reference version. I'm very happy with my GTX 670 Windforce.

    GTX 770 vs. 780

    770 isn't a bad card, it's just not THAT big of an upgrade over the 670. Maybe a 15-20% boost in performance, but with 80 watts more power consumption under load according to the Anandtech review. That said, a 770 is MORE than enough for 1080p. You'd be crazy to pay the more than $100 price...

    AMD back in gear, Centurion FX

    Back in the Athlon FX 64 days it wasn't out of the question. (Although that was almost 10 years ago now. . . damn that makes me feel old!) Anyway, here's hoping that this makes Intel feel the need to actually compete for the high-end gaming segment. It would make the gaming hardware scene...

    How interested would you be in buying an iWatch?

    I read a huge blog post about all the possibilities of an iWatch. In addition to everything mentioned here, there was another really interesting possibility: When your iPhone is in close proximity to the iWatch, you won't have to enter your PIN to unlock the phone. It would reset the next...

    Christmas Gift For My Daughter: iPad? Kindle Fire?

    Right, no better way to change someone's mind than by making snarky remarks about their device of choice. My mom used to love her iPad. But after hammering away at her about how iPad can't run Cyanogen Mod, only has a dual-core processor, and isn't even based on open-source software, I think...

    Christmas Gift For My Daughter: iPad? Kindle Fire?

    As the uncle of an 11 year old, I can assure you that kids of that age know the difference between a real Apple product and an Android imitation. "Thank you for getting me the one you'd rather have instead of the one I asked for" -no wife, girlfriend, mother, or daughter ever

    Christmas Gift For My Daughter: iPad? Kindle Fire?

    The kinds of people who post on this board are the type who would give their mom a Linux laptop when she asked for a Macbook because "it's just as good", and give her a bunch of idealogical reasons that 99% of people don't care about. She asked for an iPad. If you give her a cheap...

    First smartphone: HTC Windows Phone 8X? Also: Windows Phone 8 in general

    My GF has the Lumia 920 and it's awesome. It has a lot of cool functionality baked into the OS. E.G. all the photos you take are automatically uploaded to Skydrive. Xbox live integration is another selling point if you use Xbox. You can earn achievements/points on live-enabled games, view...

    Looking for an Android phone on Craigslist - which way to go?

    8GB isn't great, but for that price it's still an incredible deal. Cloud storage/streaming is a viable option on T-Mobile since they give you unlimited data.

    Looking for an Android phone on Craigslist - which way to go?

    IMO might as well just spend the $300 for a brand new Nexus 4. No sense in getting an old Android phone that will be stuck on an outdated OS version (especially since 4.1 was such a massive improvement).

    HTC should maybe go out of business

    I think the Thunderbolt was what really killed their reputation. I knew several people who owned one. Most of them are now using a SGS3 or iPhone.

    Apple/HTC settle patent disputes, sign 10 year agreement

    LG may have a fighting chance. The others. . . I'll believe it when I see it. Sony has been trying for a couple years to break into the Android scene with no luck. Panasonic and Sharp have done even worse so far. Heck, HTC (who already had a pretty strong presence) completely revamped their...

    Do you have an E-Reader and a Tablet?

    I have both. I definitely say it's worth having a dedicated e-reader for long reading sessions. It's super light, has insane battery life, and it's easier on your eyes.

    Apple/HTC settle patent disputes, sign 10 year agreement

    Maybe, but that could come back to bite them. LG, Sony, and HTC are fighting an uphill battle as it is. Imagine how they'll feel when Google is subsidizing their competitor's unprofitable business. It'll get even uglier when/if Amazon starts selling their own subsidized smartphones.

    Lumia 920 or IPhone 5

    I own an iPhone 5 and my girlfriend just picked up a Lumia 920 this morning. They're as different as night and day. It depends what matters to you. I chose the iPhone because it has by far the best selection of apps and games. It's thin, light, and has the best build quality out of any...

    Laptops or Tablets?

    After getting an iPad, I've found I have no real need for a laptop PC. After that, I never took my laptop with me anywhere. It just stayed in one place on my desk at home. I ended up replacing my laptop with a desktop (iMac) and haven't missed it one bit. If portability is very important to...

    When will major video game developer's embrace android products?

    Answer: when there's money in it. iOS has a much smaller range of hardware to develop for, a much bigger slice of the tablet market share, less piracy, and users who are far more willing to spend money on apps and games. If you were a game dev with a limited budget, what platform would you...

    Why is HTC Struggling So Much?

    Thunderbolt certainly didn't help anything. That thing got hyped up like crazy as the first LTE phone, and it seems like tons of people bought them. How many Thunderbolt owners do you think recommended an HTC phone to their friends? Nearly every Thunderbolt owner I talked to hated the...

    Nokia post a $1.7 billion loss for the quarter

    NOK actually went up almost 7% today. Apparently it wasn't as bad as people were expecting. It's still pretty depressing to think that their stock was around 7.60 a year ago, and hit 40 5 years ago (it closed at 1.85 today).

    Steam on Linux: Return of OpenGL?

    OSX gaining marketshare will do more for OpenGL than Steam on Linux, IMO. But it's still exciting to see Linux finally get some support from a gaming juggernaut like Valve. BTW I've been playing this year's biggest PC game, Diablo III, on an iMac.

    Apple loses ground outside US/UK

    I've been expecting Apple to lose some marketshare until they release a phone with a bigger screen and LTE. I'm actually surprised it took this long to see a drop, if you can even call it that. . . iOS' gains in USA and UK may have outweighed Android's gains in other countries.

    Apple potentially shipped 20M iPads Last Q

    iPad isn't the first tablet to ever exist. It is, however, the first tablet that people actually WANT to use. I think you're underestimating the value of having a device that is lightweight, portable, fast, responsive, turns on instantly, has excellent battery life, looks attractive, doesn't...

    Samsung profits surge 79% boosted by smartphone sales

    iOS is gaining market share. Last report I saw showed iOS gaining at a faster rate than Android for the last quarter. And for the most recent month, Android actually lost a bit of market share. I'll try to find it if you want. At any rate, Apple's strategy has NEVER been about grabbing market...

    Samsung profits surge 79% boosted by smartphone sales

    Amd rage - take the poll

    Interesting link but that's not really what I was referring to. I was just poking fun at the amazing amount of faith some people have (had?) in AMD. Once Core 2 came out, AMD fans immediately began hyping the mythical AMD K8L that would regain the performance crown for AMD. They complained...

    Amd rage - take the poll

    Just wait until K8L launches. It has native quad core and REVERSE HYPERTHREADING! Yeah that's right, 4 cores act like one huge core that's 4x as powerful. AMD is intentionally letting Intel get a false sense of security, so it hurts extra bad when the mighty K8L delivers its crushing blow...

    Seriously. Apple is dead to me

    Aren't you the one who goes on and on about how "fragmentation is just a myth that affects nobody" any time someone mentiones it as a downside of Android? I think it's pretty hilarious that you responded to that quote.

    WinMo, or Android - which one is better?

    Android has a better selection of apps, including great free Google Maps Navigation. It also has multiple devices with great 1280x720 screens. WP7, on the other hand, is IMO just a lot more pleasant to use. It's amazingly fast and fluid. It has Zune Pass support, and you can play games...

    Either HSPA+ is 4g or LTE isn't 4G

    T-Mobile's HSPA+ gets better speeds around me than Sprint's WiMAX. I've typically seen 6-8 mbps, and that's with a device that supports 21mbps. Some of their newer phones support 42mbps.
