Maybe its useful for the jogging/biking market, but thats about it. No one is going to pay $300 for an ugly ass watch except crazy fitness nuts. That thing is hideous, I wouldnt be caught dead wearing it out in public as a fashion accessory. Might as well go back to wearing our cellphones on...

Not worried about it at all, but just showing that the N5 is more powerful than the current "most powerful phone" in almost every meaningful measurement (assuming those specs are accurate) If you want a battery that lasts longer, a more powerful processor can actually help. It can either do...

Not a fan of this idea. Seems like a technological step back to go back to wearing a watch. Kinda like people that want no part of having to wear glasses for 3D after having lasik/contacts and being glasses-free. I'll be passing on the smartwatch fad, hopefully it dies out as quick as 3d tv.

Add this to the build Sithro, and then you're done 250GB Samsung Evo SSD for $166 http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/1019...tate-drive-ssd

Solid build, should get 1.5-2yrs out of the video card before you feel like you might want to upgrade it, rest of the stuff will be good for 5+ years.

Doubly shitty because RAM prices were still higher now than they were a year ago at this time, now it's going to take forever before they come back down to reasonable levels. Hell, I bought 32GB(4x8GB) or 1866 RAM in November 2012 for $140. We won't see those prices again for a LONG time

Shitty http://www.kitguru.net/components/me...cal-explosion/ Massive fire at a plant that manufactures 15% of the worlds RAM. Prices already spiking, and some RAM suppliers have suspended shipments/sales already. This is one of the primary factories for DDR5(big effect on video card...

HDMI 2.0 announced http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/04/h...channel-audio/ 4K resolution at 60fps and 32 channel audio

I have a customer(I sell insurance) who just ordered a Tesla Model S. I don't know if this is 100% true or not, be he claimed that his bank was willing to give him a 15-year loan since it was a fully electric car. WTF? Who gives a 15 year loan on a car? That seems absolutely insane if...

Yeah, it seems like the current trend in processor technology is towards maintaining the same power(roughly, maybe marginal gains), while decreasing power consumption, rather than really pushing the power envelope. Hell, I'm sitting here with a quad-core processor and when I'm gaming it's using...

Back in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, processor technology moved forward a LOT faster than it does today. Moving from 386s to 486s to pentiums, to pentiums with MMX, all that crap back then that made people have to upgrade to entirely new machines every couple of years. Now, the bleeding edge...

There is no "best" time to upgrade. Spend $1000 on building a gaming PC, and it should last you a solid 2 years. At that point you might only need a video card upgrade to make it another year or two. Than at that point, you rebuild. Maybe you can eek out another year or so with a 2nd video...

I don't have a link or anything official, but my uncle worked in a Ford plant assembling F150s for 30 years, and he always told me to NEVER buy the protection/clear coat. He said that in the last 15-20 years, the paints that they use are weather resistant and scratch resistant enough that the...

I fully hope to be deciding between the Nexus 5 and Note 3 when I get a new phone this October. Can't wait to see them both in action.

Still plugging along with Path of Exile. Those of you that installed the free D3, install PoE, it's also free(and a much better game than D3 was at launch). http://www.pathofexile.com/ For the love of god, look at the passive skill tree! None of that is even a single spell or attack...

If those specs are correct, and it can come in at a decent pricepoint($300-$350), that is a hell of a phone. It's a tad more powerful than the S4. screen is bigger (5.2" vs 5"), processor is faster (2.3 ghz vs 1.9 ghz), both have 13MP cameras, and the N5 has a slightly bigger battery (2700...

If you're honestly reading PDFs for hours, get a tablet. I love my S4, but reading on it for any longer than it takes to take a crap is uncomfortable. You'll go blind if you are reading for hours on a phone every day. Not worth the headache. Good phones are nice for 5-10 minute email/web...

The one thing I actually loved about my blackberry was that it would pool ALL your messages into 1 app by default. Emails(from multiple addresses) as well as texts & instant messages all in one spot. I know there are 3rd party apps that can do this on iOS and Android now, but it was nice...

the Note 2 is basically a giant Galaxy S3, with a few software features that the S4 has. Technologically, it falls in-between the S3 and S4(S3 hardware with some S4 software). So unless the larger(yet lower resolution) screen is a deciding factor, the S4 is superior tech.

I know a few people who still prefer physical keyboards to touchscreen keyboards. If blackberry would make an Android-based phone with some of the same features that Blackberry is known for, they might have something worth buying. As it is, they are so far behind the curve at this point that...

I really miss our Mizzou/Illinois matchup to start the season each year. Way the hell more interesting than playing a scrubass FCS school to start the year.

To be fair, the state of Texas puts like 200+ kids into D-1 football every year. Texas can only offer about 10% of them scholarships, they're going to miss quite a few good players. That being said, theres no reason Texas shouldn't have 10+ wins every single year. They can have their pick...

They're definitely the 2 best Android phones on the market right now. But as with anything else in the tech world, that could possibly change in a few months. In other news, Microsoft purchases Nokias mobile business: http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/02/m...ices-business/

To date, my 4 month old son has peed on my wife a half a dozen times when she is changing his diaper, I've yet to be peed on once. I'm obviously the favorite parent.

The new Google Nexus phone, and new Samsung Note 3 may see releases this year, but if you are completely without a phone I doubt you would want to wait too long to get another. Samsung S4 or HTC One is pretty much the way to go if you are going Android on a major carriers plan

I use ConvertXToDvD Obviously it converts any video file(x) to a regular DVD format and burns it. Doesn't matter if the source is HD, standard def, or whatever, converts everything like a champ and even creates a decent little menu with chapters and everything. It's not free, but its...

Yeah at this point, AMD just might not give a crap. I have to assume the ATI branch of the company is still quite profitable, and their new deals with Sony and Microsoft making the innards for the XB1 and PS4 were probably pretty lucrative as well. They might very well just concede the desktop...

Quick & simple solution that also ties into player safety would be that if a player goes out with an injury, they have to sit out the rest of the possession. Flopping, sitting out one play, and coming right back in is beyond lame.

Keep it classy Georgia Georgia had several instances of defensive players "flopping" to get breathers against Clemsons up-tempo offense. They also did the same to Mizzou when we played them last year, and the same to Auburn in '10 to try to slow down Cam Newton. I'm sure there are other...

I was able to walk into a Sprint store on the day of release and buy a Samsung Galaxy S2, S3, and S4 on their respective release dates. I don't know if Samsung just does a great job producing enough phones to avoid shortages, or the fact that Sprint is a distant 3rd in popularity means that...

Yes, flip that sucker over, as it stands the power supply is sucking in hot air from inside the case, it isn't going to cool very well like that.

Ohio State getting no love on College Gameday today. They had an oddsmaker on, and he stated that Ohio State would be the underdog against any other top 10 team right now on a neutral field, other than Louisville, and would be the underdog against 6 SEC teams right now. Basically stating that...

Yep, definitely better than no SSD at all. Won't be quite as fast as the top of the line SSDs, but still way better than a mechanical drive

It has to be used via wifi(for now), which is pretty dumb IMHO. Works great with my laptop and tablets/phones, can't use it at all with my wired desktop. I hope a workaround/fix comes out for this at some point, but I haven't seen one yet.

I've said it here several times before, but go look at them both in a store. The screens are significantly different(both in size, and color/brightness).

LOL @ K-State. I think this kids facial expression sums it up nicely

Well fuck, broke my Samsung S4 somehow. Put it in my pocket, drove home from work, took it out when I got home and the LCD/Digitizer seems damaged. There is not any physical crack or blemish at all on the exterior glass, but the screen is only partially displaying, like it would with a broken...

Now if we could just get them to tour together... Luckily, I did get to see A Perfect Circle open for NIN about a decade ago(first APC album, The Fragile NIN tour), that's probably as close as I'll ever get. Show was badass, obviously,

Good to have college football back

I personally use Dropbox, mainly because it's easy to have multiple people logged in under 1 account without interfering with anything else. For instance, I have both my wife and my moms cell phones set to upload pics automatically to my dropbox account, so we have 1 central location for family...
