What are you talking about? Both the ASUS PQ321Q & Sharp PN-K321 support 60Hz. Both are equipped with IPS panels and DP1.2. The caveat being they require MST (multi stream transport) mode; so two simultaneous signals are sent at 30Hz each to achieve 4K @ 60Hz. A little trickery is also required with the GPU driver, too. However nVidia have updated their drivers to recognise MST and negate the need for said trickery. A ~>580MHz pixel clock is required receive a single 4K signal at 60Hz. It is an inherent bandwidth limitation of the DP 1.2 interface being limited to a 540MHz Pixel Clock. HDMI 2.0 achieves this easily with a 600MHz pixel clock. I feel sorry for those who jumped the gun and went out early, purchasing either of the two aforementioned monitors. They're stuck with both monitor's interface being limited to HDMI 1.4.

Wat? Monitors already support 60Hz, do you mean 120Hz IPS displays? Are you referring to TVs supporting 60Hz? I hope so too. The MST hack is cumbersome and annoying.

Sorry, but 10 inches is just too small for a productivity device. Media consumption? For sure. My ASUS TF700T (10") also has a keyboard but if I actually want to type something up or do actual work then I need at least a 13.3" screen like on my ultrabook.

English version: Mentions the UX302 with a discrete Nvidia GPU and 1080p display. Hopefully that's matte as well. Definitely my next and hopeful successor to the UX32D.

Already posted this on the video's comments but may as well do so here too. 1440 is useless on a 13.3" Windows laptop screen. Too high to use at native (1080p is the max and I have good eyesight to use it) and too little screen estate to use at 200% dpi scaling via Windows 8.1 @ 720p. Not to mention absolutely nothing 3rd party supports scaling in Windows, including Adobe's suite. The new Zenbook Infinity touted 1600p. That would at least give 1600x900 with Win 8.1 scaling @ 200%. They really should have just gone all the way to 2160p 4K. At least @ 200% scaling we would have 1080p usable real estate. Seriously, I cannot even resolve individual pixels at native 1080p on my 13.3" Asus UX32D. Microsoft really have to do more to adapt to higher resolution displays. Metro's capability is useless as the majority of us use x86 applications.

Nice to see they've ignored Australia! WTG Nvidia!

Looks like Level3 are responsible for handling traffic between RISPs and Twitch.tv. Linus & co. should contact Twitch to see if there is a routing issue.

I didn't hear anything of the sort. There is absolutely no practical reason for them to single out whichever location Linus is streaming from, considering it is a paltry 720p stream and hosted on Twitch.tv's servers. As others have said: quit being a hivemind and bashing shaw. No one has any idea (including linus) and everyone is making inferences right now. My inference is that there's a problem between Twitch's servers and Shaw. A simple tracert would determine where the bottleneck resides.

Twitch.tv is hosting the stream. The viewer count has absolutely no effect on Linus' upstream. Linus is simply streaming to Twitch's servers, who then provide the stream to we viewers. I dare say there is a routing issue between Twitch's servers & Shaw for this to effect two different physical locations, but both using Shaw's pipes. I don't believe they're being throttled.

+1 Also I'm not sure why the Google Doc is linked as we don't have public permission rights to view it:

Indeed it did. Not to mention the shrapnel from the smashed monitor collided with the case directly opposite of the monitor. That looked like a very, very high end rig, too. I hope LMG purchased the winner a new laptop, too, and the collateral damaged tower owner a new case. Older laptops do. My old Toshiba does. That said, my newer Sony VAIO has a VGA port and it is recessed so it is not protruding from the laptop. If the VGA cable were ripped from the laptop with sufficient force it would have moved the internals of the laptop causing significant damage. The laptop the winner owns looked to be an Alienware. It too has a recessed VGA port: Exactly. The primary display immediately returns and adjusts its resolution accordingly. In the video the monitor flashes and attempts to do this, but then turns black. That is not normal. Indeed. I'm going to assume it's broken until we hear otherwise from Linus or see proof it was not damaged. Simple physics will tell you a recessed VGA port being ripped on will cause damage. Not very well thought out imho. :unsure:

That's why you get as much RAM as possible — to prevent thrashing of the page file on your system drive.

Yes.

Is that a your exclusive to Austin SKU, Asus UX32VD-R4057W? I bought one of those from your store.

M4M, Canada :lol:

Primary and High school education is not in dire straits. Tertiary education is what's now under threat courtesy of Labor's initiative and we know Labor (especially so under Gillard) loved to engage in social-class warfare. Relegating tertiary education appeases their blue collar and union working voter base. All this is blatant hypocrisy considering Labor pollies are predominantly tertiary educated. I'm not sure what you're inferring when you mention Coal Seam Gas mining? I assume you're anti nuclear, too? I'm pro-nuclear and Australia could greatly benefit from the introduction of nuclear power. At least then we could sell Uranium to India(among others) with a straight face.

Telstra's Steam CDN is notorious for being slow. It's also metered, unlike iiNet. Origin on Telstra is even worse. As I've said, It's great to have 100Mb/s down... when it works to its full potential but is entirely dependent on the server end. Turnball has stated Greenfield estates (new developments) will receive FTTH. There is no ripping up fibre or whatever other bullshit hyperbole/scaremongering laborites have conjured up. As for the poster claiming housing prices will skyrocket where FTTH has already been laid -- I sincerely doubt it. HFC already provides Foxtel/FTA/Internet and that hasn't affected housing prices in areas where it's available. Please remember we are tech enthusiasts living in a bubble.

The Great Australian Firewall was a policy introduced when Kevin Rudd was leader. Conroy is now gone as Telecommunications Minster, but that doesn't mean the policy isn't dead. Rudd was for it. Let that sink in. Everyone keeps harping on about the NBN. As someone with Telstra cable at speeds of > 100Mb/s down / 2.4Mb/s up, I can tell you that some speeds from US servers and elsewhere are just as slow as on 10Mb/s down. Everyone seems to neglect this fact when clamoring for greater speed. Granted, the upload speed would be welcome, but HFC is also capable of around 20Mb/s-40Mb/s up. Neglecting to integrate RF Overlay is an incredibly huge oversight made when the NBN was planned. The capacity is there. Aerials would have been made extinct and IPTV would have been amazing. The NTU first provided in the Tasmanian trial was capable of RF Overlay. [RF is the interface with the clear plug over the top] It has been subsequently removed from the official roll-out NTU: Now, back to straight politics: Rudd stated on two occasions he had full confidence in PM, Gillard, and that he would in "no way" attempt to challenge her position. He lied on both those occasions and lost each leadership spill. Again, third time around, he lied up until the 9th hour that he would not contest -- he did and subsequently won. Labor is Labor. It is not the leader but the entire party. The sum of its constituents. A swap of leader is like a slight of hand card trick. Nothing changes. Their whole party is toxic. Unions, and Labors subsequent association with them, do not belong in the 21st century. They are simply no longer a necessity and they stifle progress in economies because of squabbling and backward thinking/rhetoric. Abbott is not the ideal Liberal leader nor an ideal candidate to be PM, but again, as I have said about Labor, he is not the Liberal party. He is simply their leader. Their policies are representative of their entire party and not one man. This is why I'm voting Liberal. I'm still incredibly perturbed by Gillard lashing out at Tony Abbott as being a misogynist and being lauded internationally for doing so. Tony Abbott is not a misogynist. The correct term (in the context she wished to use) would have been chauvinist, and even then it is blatant hyperbole. Tony is married and has two grown-up daughters. He also has a lesbian sister whom he wholly supports and has a healthy relationship with. I would go as far to call Gillard a misandrist.

Halo 2 was released for PC.

The whole notion of, "Oh, don't worry if you can't upgrade our proprietary 500GB internal drive -- just use an external", is so absurd, given how gaudy and gigantic their box is. It's going to look terrible enough in one's entertainment unit; let alone having external HDDs attached. <_<

I didn't realise me stating that MSFT not listening to their users regarding their OS had anything to do with semantics and or the kinect. -_- Edit: Ah, right. You're taking my sentence out of context. I meant literally listening to user feedback, not spying on their users.

From what I've seen spoiler tags do not stop the browser from loading the images contained within. The spoiler is effectively useless for bandwidth purposes. Its only use is to hide content. What @bluepoodleguy said about the boothbabes thread is a prime example of where the spoiler tags do not prevent bandwidth hogging.

FTFY If Microsoft listened to their customer base we wouldn't have the cluster-expletive that is Windows 8 TE (tablet edition).

I'm pretty sure MSFT realised this a long time ago and is not something they will come to realise.
