    Dell Readies the U2913WM 29-inch Monitor

    I noticed the other day while watching a 1080p widescreen movie on my 1080p television that there were still black bars on the top & bottom of the feed. Wider just makes you lose vertical space in comparison. Widescreen skyrim = can never see dragons in the air for example, when in reality...

    Microsoft Hardware Debuts Windows 8 Keyboard With Split Backspace-Spacebar Key

    Pretty small. When I do that my thumb ends up under the c/v keys. It makes playing the piano hard as shit too. It's like, every song the notes spread across a whole octave. My fucking hand doesn't stretch that far :mad:

    Microsoft Hardware Debuts Windows 8 Keyboard With Split Backspace-Spacebar Key

    This keyboard is not for you guys. You are not the target market ;) This keyboard is for draftsmen & CAD technicians; people who have their right hand on a trackball or space navigator, and their left hand on the keyboard for command line stuff. I have been waiting a long time for this keyboard.

    Thin Hybrid Hard Disk Drives Could be Potent Growth Factor for Storage Industry

    LOL, sometimes I feel like I am on an advertising site. "Here is what we are expecting you to start buying, when, and how much of it. Stay tuned for more advertisements." I know that isn't true, but it's so 'in-your-face' ha ha

    Windows 8 Out for Consumers in October, Enterprises and Partners in August

    Start screen has giant tiles on it, which run the same apps in exactly the same way. You click the firefox tile, just like you clicked the firefox icon. Haters need to give it another chance ;)

    Am I the only one who feels Diablo 3 isn't that great?

    There are reviews on metacritic saying that metacritic is deleting bad reviews. Doesn't surprise me. http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/diablo-iii/user-reviews Indeed, playing games after the problems get patched is usually a better experience.

    Am I the only one who feels Diablo 3 isn't that great?

    The hate happens because their art department used to be top-notch: http://i.imgur.com/5B2CW.jpg The goldskin armor was based off of this armor (attached). It is Henry the VII personal suit. Look at the Diablo 2 armor in any online item list. It looks real, like it came from medieval times...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 4 GB

    A better option if you were going to go 680 sli anyways, by the looks of it. Save space and all.

    Philips Launches LightFrame-equipped 23-inch Moda Monitor

    It's based on research that links 'sky blue' light to human's ability to maintain focus and stay awake. I haven't looked at the actual material myself, and quite frankly I don't intend to. It makes sense that humans are wired to stay awake when they can see the sky, I can't imagine it being...

    Durango To Feature 16-Core CPU?

    Yeah, the best games would be several years out on the platform's life. Which at this rate, is looking to expand on the stretched life the current generation is using now.

    What's the ratio for 1080p to 2560x1600? Must be pretty close to 2.
