flagship phone with the best battery life?

Thanks guys! That was very helpful. I am still looking for a flagship phone, even if battery is the most important feature, so I probably won't be getting much older versions of phones like the G2. Also, I should have mentioned, I am on Sprint, so no S6 active, although that probably would...

flagship phone with the best battery life?

I'm coming from a Galaxy S3 that held a full charge for nearly 2 days with only light phone and texting use. My brother has the same phone, and his phone still has at least a day per charge. Mine, on the other hand, has been ruined by my cellphone games, but it still holds charge for about 14...

refuge for Opera 12 users?

You're likely more tech savvy than I am and are probably right, but Opera doesn't drop my FPS by 10 in MMO's that I run in windowed mode. I have no confidence in a side project by a one man team who won't even launch a Kickstarter because he feels it will put too much pressure on him. This...

refuge for Opera 12 users?

None of the extensions work appropriately. Maybe it is an issue with the recent update 29. All in One Sidebar does not put the downloads in the sidebar panel and opens a separate window. You can't even open downloads as a separate tab. Tab Mix Plus only lets you dock the window tabs on the...

refuge for Opera 12 users?

Hi, now that Opera 12 is no longer being supported, I was wondering what Opera users were turning to? I tried to go back to Chrome, but the customization options continue to be terrible. I'm mainly looking for a minimalist design with right sided tab docking, mouse gestures, flexible download...

Borderlands 2 release date and preorder

Does Borderlands 2 benefit from an SSD at all? I bought a 256gb SSD that just shipped, and then I realized I can only fit like 6 games on it without going beyond the 80% mark. For a game like Diablo III that can lag-kill you when traveling to a friend loading the map for the first time, I...

Lol, thanks for the advice. I've never owned a string trimmer before, so I had no idea what to expect.

anyone know about battery powered string trimmers?

I just got a Ryobi, and the battery lasts like 30 minutes tops. Is that normal? Is it worth it at all to get an electric trimmer when you can't even do your whole yard in one battery charge?

Lets talk about wireless gaming mice.

If you buy a custom braided cord for the g700s and toss the battery, you could cut an extra 20-30g if it means that much to you, and then you could still use wireless mode when you want to.

most durable mouse?

So I've had three logitech mice fail on me in about 2 years or less because of mouse click failure (cannot click and drag). My mx1000 was the first to fail but lasted over two years. My g9x failed in less than 2 years, and the replacement they sent me lasted less than a year. I've done a...

logitech anywhere mouse battery life

6 mo is pretty standard for a non-gaming mouse. 1-2 months is horrible. There are some reports of batteries lasting only 2 weeks. I'm not going to do any heavy gaming with this. 1-2 hours a day at most and only occasionally FPS.

logitech anywhere mouse battery life

Simple question: is it true the battery life is only 1-2 months on two non-rechargeable AA batteries? That's awfully sad if that's true. And btw, any recommendations on a traveling mouse that does well with light-duty gaming? No to the Orochi due to the sleep issue.

smartphone battery life

Thanks for the input, guys. That's a little disappointing though. If you forgot to charge your phone one night, you might have to go an entire day without a phone. Kind of defeats the purpose of a mobile phone if you have to carry around your charger. Of course, smartphones seem to be so big...

I think the GOTY edition includes one of the DLCs, but the others are separate. It is kind of ridiculous that, with the sale, the 4 DLCs cost more than the game itself.

Cmon developers, where are the JRPG and Fighting PC games?

There are some JRPGs that I love (Chrono Trigger), but with the technology we have nowadays, there's no reason to be so rigid in format. Western RPGs seem to be more creative somehow. One JRPG-styled game that I found was absolutely brilliant (mostly for the script) was Anachronox. Wish there...

PC games developer resolution standard 16x10 or 16x9?

A good 2560x1600 screen is usually fairly large, 29 to 30", unless there are smaller monitors with that resolution. It wouldn't be hard to get an actual 19" size by scaling to 4:3 on a monitor that size. Wasted space is only relative to the game. For example, in the old BF2, there was no...

I think what he's trying to say is that the screen is so huge, it doesn't matter if there are black bars. You can letterbox any of those resolutions and still the get the same size as if you had a monitor in that aspect ratio. Personally, I don't understand the hubbub about black bars and...
