I find a 10" tablet is uncomfortable for E-reading, unless you are laying the tablet on your lap, or propping it up on something. If you are typically holding the tablet while you read, go 7", not 10". I have both a Samsung Galaxy Note 10" and a Nexus 7(original), and I do all of my e-reading...

Yeah, probably a bad PCI slot. You should be just fine running in the second one though.

I hope Daniel does get a chance to start in the NFL at some point. He got to learn for a few years in the perfect situation behind Drew Brees. He's been doing the same workouts that turned an undersized QB in Brees with an average arm into one of the stronger arms in the league. I obviously...

Seems like that hUMA could be nice for devices with a closed architecture(game system, tablet, phone), it really wouldn't be ideal for the PC gaming market, as it's mainly going to be used with integrated GPUs. I can't imagine the performance gains of that style of memory architecture making up...

Yeah, I don't care who makes it, I wouldn't buy a 10 year old car with 100K+ miles on it unless it's so cheap that there are no new options in that price range. Talking significantly under 10 grand.

D'Angelo's is great, it's too bad they are only on the East coast now. Back about 25 years ago someone here in KC opened a couple franchises, but they were all out of business within 2-3 years. I think it may have just been a little premature, as this was back when the only sandwhich chain...

It might have been a demographic issue. EVERYONE I knew had a Genesis, but I was in Jr High and Highschool during it's heyday. Everyone was big into Mortal Kombat, Madden, Joe Montana Football, NHL, College football, etc. All of my younger elementary school aged cousins and neighbors had a SNES

A Big reason the genesis was dominant in those early years was EA Sports. Madden, NHL Hockey, Bill Walsh College Football, Coach K College Basketball, were all HUGE hits in the United States. By the time the SNES got versions of their own, they were very inferior ports. Can you imagine how...

Good post...not sure why you said there were so many incorrect things in my post. You basically just provided more facts that completely backed exactly what I was saying, that graphics/power mean squat. Console generations are way more often than not won on other fronts. I argued it was...

Just for the record, I hope the Lions never win another game as long as they exist as a team for robbing us of the pleasure of possibly watching Barry Sanders(the greatest pure runner in NFL history) play for several more years. Sanders had to take the only real option, retirement, over...

Yeah I played through BG 1 & 2 again last year. They're great if you grab the wide-screen mod so you don't have to play in a tiny ass 800x600 window. The hand-drawn graphics still look pretty damn good when you can see a full 1920x1080 or whatever.

lol Time Warner's fix for CBS blackout: Free rabbit ears! http://money.cnn.com/2013/08/23/news...out/index.html

I used to love Hardees, but why the hell don't they have ANY roast beef on their menu anymore? The greatest fast food sandwhich in the history of mankind was the Hardees Monster Roast Beef. Was like a 1/3lb of roast beef with multiple slices of cheese and like 8 pieces of bacon. The thing was...

True, the difficulty was definitely not set up well in Fallout 3. The only real challenge I had in the game was running into all those goddamn fire ants early in the game with nothing but a baseball bat and a pistol. Once you get above like level 10, you're just an invincible killing machine

Name a single FPS RPG better than Fallout 3 made in the last decade? You have to go all the way back to some classics like the early Might & Magic games, and stuff like Betrayal at Krondor or Ultima Underworld to find a better FPS RPG in my opinion. Or for Sci-Fi, the first Deux Ex, or...

James Franklin might be the most entertaining coach around Doing the Carlton

The new Shadowrun is pretty fun. Its RPG w/tactical turned-based combat. Very linear and straighforward, but an interesting sci-fi storyline. It's basically talk to NPCs for 20 minutes, then go do your strategic battles for an hour, then repeat, but it's solid. Plus it's what, like $20? I'd...

All the bickering over which system is more powerful, or has better graphics is almost completely useless. Every system generation to date has had it's winner decided by who has the most interesting unique software(and more often than not, it's the less-powerful system winning the sales...

Just curious, but what "hassles of windows"? I've been using Windows since 3.0 on my 386, and in my opinion Windows has never been easier to use and more bug-free than it is right now. Although, I am on Win 7, I'm not upgrading to 8. I bet I haven't even rebooted my Win 7 PC in months.

For those of you that did baby sign-language, how old was your kid before you started them on watching the videos? Our kid is 3 months old, and has yet to show any interest in watching anything on TV, or videos of any kind. He likes the sound/music of some kids shows sometimes, but visually...

NFL pressures ESPN to back out of concussion documentary http://deadspin.com/report-nfl-press...ium=socialflow

To be fair, AJ Mcarron is seen nationally kind of like Troy Aikman was with the Coyboys. Everyone sees him as a solid QB that looks great because of the talent around him. He's never really had to put the team on his shoulders and carry them to wins. That could definitely change in his...

Most HDTVs have built-in options for letterboxing vs stretching/zooming 4:3(standard def) content when displayed on a 16:9(high def) screen. Only downside would be that if you are using the setting in the TV itself, it is going to either always be on or always off, no quick switching with a...

My only small gripe about ES is that when I choose to explore my LAN for shared devices/folders, ES seems to lose the list of my shared devices almost daily, and I have to make it re-scan to find them, which takes maybe 30-60 seconds. Not a big deal, but odd.

That zoom though is either cropping off the top/bottom of the screen to make it fit, or stretching the screen to make it fit. You're better off with a letterboxed picture, at least it isn't altered/distorted.

That article is also a year old(not that I mind my school being ranked #21) Go Mizzou!

If you don't want it, just hold on to it until the weekend before Christmas and post it on Craigslist. I guarantee you'll make a profit off of some lazy parent that waited until the last minute to do Christmas shopping for their kid, not realizing these things will be sold out everywhere at...

SLI isn't just a pain in the but with Nvidia, Crossfire on ATI has the exact same issues(if not more). I had 2 crossfired ATI 4870s for a couple years, and I was so happy to go back to a single Nvidia card last year with my 660Ti. I wouldn't judge Nvida vs AMD based on multi-card setups...

I use ES File explorer as well on my Samsung Note 10, works great for streaming media from my PC across my network

Holy hell great goddamn. My favorite beer on the planet Earth hit store shelves again yesterday It's Boulevard's seasonal Oktoberfest beer, it's only available from late August to early October(only about 6 weeks or so). I generally buy about 8-10 cases worth every year, and I'm always...

Tape that SSD to a fan that's pulling in air from outside your case. Seriously, SSDs don't move at all, they don't need to be secured overly tight(screwed down), both of the SSDs in my system are just laying loose on the floor of the case, with no issues, they've been like that for almost a...

Here is the *only* Laptop on Newegg that has a Haswell CPU that is less than $800 in price: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834314150 It's a pain in the ass to search for them, you basically can't search by CPU generation, so you have to do an advanced search by GPU, the Intel...

Unless it's home cooking/soul food. The majority of the best fried chicken/chicken fried steak/mashed potatos that I've ever had is either in the hood, or in a small podunk town.

That top 100 list is interesting. I dont agree with vince young as #1 though. He had 1 good season (not great) that just happened to be topped off with a spectacular bowl performance. Vince was getting benched for poor performance throughout 2 of his 3 seasons in college. Hell he wasnt even...

Wendys can definitely vary wildly in quality. Stopped at a random Wendys in a small town in podunk MO once while on a roadtrip and got my usual Spicy Chicken Sandwhich, and the thing was flatter than their hamburger patties. There was almost no meat to it whatsoever. The Wendys by my work is...

Yeah, can't wait to re-purchase all the phones and tablets once 802.11ac becomes available in more devices, lol. I do most of my streaming/Chromecast stuff via my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet, and Google Nexus 7(original, not 2nd gen) tablet. I really could use ac though, I just have a...

That's the thing, you'd think 20-30 Mbps would be plenty sufficient, but fairly often when I'm streaming 720p video wirelessly, I'll get a pause to buffer a couple times per movie. Generally only lasts a few seconds, but it's annoying regardless. 1080p is obviously right out, it has to buffer...

Thought I would start a catch-all thread for interesting tech news that people stumble across that would be of interest, but maybe doesn't specifically apply to TVs, or PCs, or mobile phones, so it doesn't quite fit in those specific threads. I'll start us off here... MIT scientists create...

Ordered this last week: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My current setup at home has my cable modem + wireless router in our finished basement where my main gaming PC is(ethernet wired), as well as our primary entertainment center(XB360, Roku, DirecTV(all all wired...

Maybe the most cringe-inducing video I've ever watched on Youtube:
