I used Microsoft Security Essentials for about 6 months, and got 2 different Trojans/Viruses that it never even remotely detected. Switched back to Avast antivirus and it detected them immediately on the first scan (MSE was still detecting nothing). I would not recommend Microsoft Security...

the HTC One would probably be more suitable for a woman than the S4. It's not as wide as the S4, so a woman(or anyone with shorter fingers) should still be able to reach across the screen with their thumb while holding it in 1 hand. Or yea, go down to a tiny-ass iPhone. They almost look like...

Well, you should speed up to 90 if that's what it takes to pass a car in a timely manner. You should never spend more than about 15-20 seconds in the left-hand lane. If you aren't willing to go fast enough to pass someone quickly, then you don't really need to pass them, they're going fast...

We just sold my wife's 1998 Mustang(non-GT) with relatively low mileage for its age(130K) for $4000, if that gives you roughly an idea of what type of car to expect for 3K. For 3K Its either going to be pushing 20 years old, have well over 150K, maybe more like 200K miles, or possibly both if...

I'm just pissed that BK took the Angry/Spicy Tendercrisp off the menu for that new BBQ one. I refuse to try it purely out of spite. The Angry/Spicy one was badass. Bacon, jalapenos, chipotle mayo, and pepperjack cheese. It was pretty much the perfect chicken sandwhich. Between that, and...

Yeah, you're going to have to get a $50K+ SUV or a mini van to get the feature of the 2nd row passthrough access to the 3rd row of seats. That's about the only vehicles I've seen it in.

Weird, maybe your average person is a lot harder on their electronics than I am. I've had a Nexus 7 for a year now with no case or screen protector and it looks as new as the day I bought it(I use it every day). My S4 is a few months old and still looks factory new, and I went about a year on...

And the worst part about some of these mid-size SUVs with 3rd rows (Mazda CX9, Hyundai Santa Fe GLS) is that no decent sized adult would ever be able to get in and out of the 3rd row comfortably, or for that matter even most teenage kids. That 3rd row would really only be usable by small kids...

Just received mine today, really liking it a lot. Basically works exactly like my Galaxy S4, just in giganto tablet form. Not 100% sure how much I'll use the stylus, but it is quite easy to write with if you had any need to take handwritten notes(students). Nice little touch that it...

If you are sitting 10 feet away from a 1080p TV you will literally see NO difference between something in 1080p resolution and 720p. That's my point. I'm not saying the graphics can't be improved, they can. I'm just saying you're average person sitting 10 feet away won't see any goddamn...

Except almost no one sits 6 feet in front of their 50+ inch screen. We're talking about living rooms here. Almost no one has a couch that's less than 6 feet from a 50+ inch TV, unless you live in a tiny studio apartment, maybe. My couch in my finished basement is about 9 feet from my 50"...

Absolutely. And I still believe that no matter how much you increase texture resolution on a console, there's a pretty noticeable limit on how good you can make it look when you're dealing with a 50+ inch 1080p TV. That is a drastically low PPI. That 1080p big-screen TV will never look as...

7000Mhz I7-4770K http://extremespec.net/processors-co...92-mhz-mad222/ Only requires liquid nitrogen. lol.

new 2013/2014 Mazdas look damn nice, and their new skyactiv engines are awesome for the MPG/HP balance. We drove a CX5(small SUV) and it was easily the best handling, sportiest SUV that we drove. My wife loved it because it was the one SUV we tried that actually handled closest to her Mustang...

You should at least go look at a new 2013 Hyundai Sante Fe Sport before you pull the trigger on the Murano. The Hyundai is probably 5 grand less for a similar equipment package, has a better warranty (5 year 60K mile bumper-to-bumper) and gets better gas mileage (21city/29highway) In fact, in...

Hey look, it's all lighting and hair movement/physics that makes the biggest difference

Definitely. This last half decade or so has been the first time since 3D acceleration came to market in the mid 90s that I haven't bought a new video card with every new generation of cards. In the last 5-6 years I was able to skip form an Nvidia 9800gt to an AMD 4870 to a Nvidia 660Ti, a good...

I drive exactly 7 MPH over the limit at all times. 62 in a 55, 37 in a 30, 77 in a 70, whatever. I figure the vast majority of cops aren't going to pull you over if you aren't speeding by double-digits(unless you're doing something else stupid to go with it), and that leaves enough room for...

I also use Jack Black's Bear Lube and shave in a hot shower, but with a DE safety razor. I use my blade(Feathers) probably 5 times, but that ends up being 2 blades per week that I go through because I shave my face every day, but I also shave my head 2 or 3 times a week. Honestly, I find...

The point I'm trying to make is that improvements in things like lighting and physics will have more of a noticeable difference to your average gamer than textures going from 720p last gen to 1080p this gen. The original comment that started the conversation was about console graphics being...

We'll have to agree to disagree. As a primarily PC gamer, 1080p TVs look like crap to me, no amount of higher resolution textures are going to change that. My 720p/1080i HDTV looked awesome back in 2001 when I first bought one, compared to the 1024x768 computer monitors that were pretty...

Sure, a high-rez texture pack makes a huge difference when I'm playing Skyrim at 1080P on a 27" monitor sitting 2 feet in front of it. Not so much on a 50" TV 10 feet away. It might help a little bit, but it won't be some night and day difference that most people will notice while playing on...

If Microsoft honestly assumed that, then they are the dumbest people on Earth. Windows phone is a relative flop, Surface tablets are a relative flop, what new hardware have they released in recent years that has been even remotely successful, much less dominant in its market, that made them...

It's not your fault that your company put all their eggs in one basket by not having anyone else that can perform most of your job duties when you are gone. What happens if you get some major illness or injury and have to miss a month of work, would the whole place just shut down? That's their...

Same here, I have an H100i and it frightens me just a little bit. Especially with the video card being right under the processor/heat sink in a vertical tower, and the radiator being at the very top of my case. Either one leaks and pretty much everything is ruined other than maybe my HDs off...

This doesn't really answer your question, but as a side note of something to consider, I had 3 close friends who all had IT/Comp Sci degrees out of college, and got jobs in their fields immediately. 2 of the 3 worked from home(1 every day at home, 1 2 days a week in-office, 3 days at home) and...

Most of the graphical upgrades for this generation of gaming are going to be things like better lighting and physics. There's only so much you can do with polygons and textures that makes a visible difference when you are limited to a 1080p resolution on TVs.

$1200 a month for a car is only justifiable if you spend more time in your car than you spend in your home.

Looks solid, good latency and timings, and nice low voltage and Crucial is one of the best RAM companies out there. Pull the trigger

Hopefully the new Intel Haswell chips really do deliver on their claim of "50% better battery life in laptops", and normal, budget-oriented laptops can creep up into the range 6-8 hours of usage on a single charge(most now are like 3-5). Once we get over to SSDs becoming more common, that...

Just get DDR3-1600. Actually running your RAM at 1866mhz or 2133mhz whether through an overclock or just buying that speed of RAM is such a minute performance gain, that it is absolutely not worth it unless you find 1866 RAM for the absolute same price as 1600. I bought 32GB of 1866 RAM last...

Ah, I missed Watch Dogs being a launch title, wasn't on the list of several sites that I quickly googled. That one may be worthy(I hope)

It just seems like anything halfway worth a damn is slated for a 2014 launch. Launch titles for both systems look very underwhelming so far. Hrmm, then again after going back and looking at the 360/PS3 launch titles, they were pretty mediocre as well. Damn, how hard is it to get some launch...

Eh, the combat looks so un-interactive that it almost looks MMO-ish. Absolutely no collision detection no matter how large the enemy, randomly standing in the air and swinging a sword, etc. Either go full-on turned based if you want to go full on RPG/strategy mode, or commit to a somewhat...

You have to think of downloading a digital copy of a game not in terms of time vs installing from a disk, but in time vs. driving to the store, buying the game, driving home, and installing the game. And for those of you who order your games and have them shipped via Amazon, you still aren't...

Yeah honestly, all that really had to be done to completely destroy the used game market was to offer new games for $44-$49 if you download them, the standard $59 if you buy a retail box. Retail distribution of physical game disks would dwindle to almost nothing pretty quickly.

Looney Toons > Disney. I never even liked Disney as a kid. Too goody-goody.

Yeah, back to games, I've never understood the appeal of Kingdom Hearts. Of course, I was also over the age of 12 when the first one came out, so that might have something to do with it. I put Kingdom Hearts in the same category as Pokemon, it all originally came out when I was already an...
