Are there any new AMD boards coming out this year?

yeah that is what I notice but unfortunately not what I want :) I'm upgrading from a 9750, based on what I've seen the A10-5800K is only a bit better but not much

Are there any new AMD boards coming out this year?

Just curious have there been any news/leaks about upcoming AMD motherboards, especially micro ATX? We're due for new builds but I really want to go the micro ATX route and shrink our desktops down. One of us has a giant, heavy full tower that I really want to ditch. However, I'm not finding...

Is bigotry wrong?

sure it is wrong but all people project their insecurities or misplaced anger I lived in an area that had homeless coming to and from. I can say 99% of them looked like they're out of it. Like they were there physically but mentally not present. Others clearly had something wrong with them...

Microsoft Said to Finish Windows 8 in Summer, With October Debut.

you can't disable metro, at least in the Consumer Preview you can't. You can hack it so on boot it throws you into Desktop Mode and use a 3rd party start menu but that's about it. It does seem to be faster a bit, than Windows 7, and they've done a lot of under the hood improvements to it. We...

Turn off Metro and its the same OS as Win7 ,,

I've been running it as my main OS since it came out. It's got bugs here and there. Metro froze up a few times on me and had to cold reboot, not sure what the reason for that was. IE10 is the most problematic for me though, a lot of pages are not compatible even with compatibility mode on...

Someone has to say it, so it might as well be me: Windows 8 will be a giant mess

Well right now you can add a background to Start but there's only some swirls and circles, the only image you can set is on the lockscreen. I picked the dark grey because the light grey had the Metro menus all bring orange. The metro menus when choosing dark blue are blue. Rafael Rivera...

LG Optimus 2x vs. Samsung Galaxy S 4G - does anyone have any experience with these?

I have the T-Mobile Vibrant, which is the Galaxy S 4G without HSPA+ and it's only got Android 2.2 and a ton of bugs. It gets slower over time to the point it's unusable because it doesn't have enough RAM and still has buggy software. Plusses for the S4G would be Amoled screen and more...

How Christianity Helped The West Get Ahead

hardly, considering what they did to people who dared to suggest the earth was round and we weren't the center of the universe. Or the Catholic church taking wealth, land and property to put in a good word for you to have your sins forgiven.

Have to laugh: GM's Archaic Assembly Line...

we had an 01 impala that came with huge gaps in the dashboard. Over time the gaps got bigger and you could see the glue. Not to mention that car was a money pit, there was always something going wrong with it. It had to have transmission replaced twice, first failure was 6-7 months after we got...

Mail, Vista64 to Win7 Ultimate

I found Thunderbird sluggish, I too have lots of old emails. I just use Windows Live Mail for POP3 and Hotmail accounts. It was a bit slow and stuttered when going into an email folder or inbox with a lot of mail in it (one of mine had 20k messages) until I moved some of it away but other than...

the green tiled monster is the dev preview, now you can at least change the colors. Here's what mine looks like right now. And yes every time you install something a tile gets added to the start screen. It even put tiles to Help, Uninstall, and url shortcuts from programs I installed. Had to go...

Why I left Google

I guess wanting to use a site for free means giving up something in return. The issues surrounding ads is overblown. As an online marketer I can say that a lot of the data about visitors is not very accurate. I've spent $xxxx on data layer, on top of an ad campaign, for 25-34 year olds and...

Sick and tired of YouTube errors

I get those too from time to time, I think it might have something to do with the distribution of the videos perhaps. On the other hand I found youtube's HTML5 video to be buggy and slow for me.

whats the difference between Studio HD Ult and Avid Studio?

here's a comparison http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=389711 http://www.avid.com/us/products/avid-studio looks like you get a few plugins more. Also, AVID is more targeted at pros. Lots of TV stations and production houses use AVID tools

Are there any AMD mATX 9xx Boards?

I've been looking ever since Bulldozer was about to come out for an AM3+ mATX board, especially one that doesn't have video on board as I want to use a separate card! Can't find any at Newegg, only 880G and 790! What gives?

Someone has to say it, so it might as well be me: Windows 8 will be a giant mess

I think they'll improve it, I hope for their sake, by the time it hits RTM. Right now there are many things that are not obvious and intuitive. It's not great if you like to use a mouse and not into keyboard shortcuts. But if it's not intuitive from the get go and you need a printout of keyboard...

Windows 8 Consumer Preview Feedback Thread

that's how I used the start menu in Windows 7. I don't like clutter on my task bar so the most used, most recent and a couple of pinned programs were on there. Now it takes me several seconds to go into metro Start and find Photoshop, or the calculator, or notepad. :rolleyes:

Whats your favorite phone(s) from the MWC ??

if the cameras are as good or better than iPhone then the HTC ONE X and S, at least as far as looks go, not really fond of the idea of no removable battery. The Nokia with the 41 megapixel camera left me with a gimmicky feeling

will we see cheaper, non carrier distributed phones at any point

not until something drastic happens. The carriers have too much power. Phones live and die by them. Also, a manufacturer can't sell a phone directly to consumers in the US when a carrier wants it as an exclusive. Something to be said about consumers too, expecting the phones to be $100 or $200...

Windows 8 Consumer Preview Feedback Thread

I've been running it since it came out. Mashing up metro with desktop is clunky. The way they've done the desktop without a start orb has made it unintuitive to use. At first I landed inside metro apps and couldn't figure out how to go back or out of them, I can only imagine regular users'...
