    Old Technologies Like Optical Drives Were Holding Apple Back: Phil Schiller

    I hear a lot of people complaining about music CD's but yet everyone is using MP3 players. No one caries a CD player around because there too bulky. How many out of those same people still use the CD player in their car. The technology has been obsolete for some time now. Everything is moving to...

    OWC Announces Mercury Pro SandForce-Driven SSDs With Up To 480 GB Capacity

    Noticed I said high capacity. 60gb is hardly HC. 1600 dollars for 480gb is a freakin joke. 200 dollars for 60gb for a desk top PC sure, it'll make a nice boot drive. As for my laptop, I wouldn't get very far on it. But at $3.33 a gig it's just not worth it, sure it's great for d@#k measuring but...

    OWC Announces Mercury Pro SandForce-Driven SSDs With Up To 480 GB Capacity

    features not commonly found in affordable consumer class SSDs: Talk about a jacked interpretation of the definition "affordable". Time these manufactures get off the crack pipe and actually start offering affordable high capacity SSD's.

    Intel Redesigning Core i7 980X Stock HSF

    Any company selling a 1000 dollar Chip should include a half decent cooler capable of cooling the CPU. If you want to buy you own cooler then offer an OEM chip. As of now Only retail chips are available. Take the extra money you save on buying OEM which isn't much but it's still money, and put...

    I own a MBP and love it. Best of both world, running win 7 for my activclient software and games, which I honestly have no problem playing with the 1440x900 screen.

    Need Help! Power Inverter info Needed ASAP

    The only batteries that will run those components for 3-4 hours are 8D batteries. They are rated at 250ah unlike car batteries which are only rated at 40-50ah. Be sure of the total power draw if it is 1000w then get a 1500w inverter. Remember Amps x volts=watts so watts / volts=amps. Do the math...
