  1. This looks really amazing, I would love to have one. I wish it wasn't so expensive. It looks really nice however and 5 inches!? what wizardry is this?? lol Does anyone know how much heat this produces? Every experience I've had with projectors (mostly old, haven't used anything newer than from.. 2006?) are they make rooms really hot. Is that different with LED DLP projectors?
  2. have you tried this http://askubuntu.com/a/26184/398838 to disable mouse acceleration? (idk about audio drivers however, sorry lol)
  3. Your graph there is fascinating o.O, for being a 960 it's like maxed for half the test than drops way down quite strangely
  4. This is super disappointing to me I put a lot of money into this computer like 3 years ago thinking with buying all high spec it might last a bit longer but it seems my GTX 680 has dragged me down today.. Rig name: Doesn't have oneCpu: Intel Core i7-3930K @3.20GhzGpu: Nvidia GTX 680 SCRam: 32GbScore: 1.5 (Holy Crap..) Edit: I ran it once more just in case.. and got 1.6 this time.. because i only dropped below 90fps on 9 frames.
  5. Loving the new forum design!

  6. I think it's going to break a lot of cross compatibility and they're still gonna sell and Apple is going to think they can get away with even more crap like this and keep pushing their limits till people are buying "Apple Paper" which will be regular sheets of paper just a tiny bit larger so they wont be compatible with normal printers just because "Apple says so"
  7. I got a 3ds XL to play the new pokemon games because.. pokemon.. so I mean that's a thing.. and it's actually quite fairly priced in that just under $200 USD. the 3D is optional and can be turned on and off it's really cool though since it doesn't require glasses. also.. did I mention pokemon?? Edit: I don't like what they've done with the "new 3ds" because i think the new placement of certain bits like where the power button and cartridge are now. I feel that was a bad idea on their part.
  8. Why isn't 1Password in the list? I think it's really nice and even though it cost a bit but it's one time and all the hashed password files are in my control so i can put them wherever I feel is the safest, not in the hands of some corporation. I would use my own system where I take a string and hash it with some easy to remember way for each website so i still have security and no website has the same password but I've run into a problem with that system.. some websites ONLY allow letters (idiots..) and some only letters and numbers (somewhat idiots..) OR have a character limit! but then on the other hand some websites FORCE you to have capitals, numbers and a symbol. the problem with that is there's no way to be consistent and know what password pattern to use for each site. and the other problem is when you do need to change your password for a site.. your pattern breaks because what would normally be consistent is then busted. would be nice if there was a better way then a password manager but at least if anything happens to your memory or something (if you thought ahead) you could have a piece of paper hidden in your closet or something with the password to your password manager and be able to access stuff (or if you die and your family needs access to something for some reason) but that would very quickly be broken if you didn't have trusted people around. bit long-winded there, sorry.
  9. If the slow mo shot works really well, that looks cool
  10. Is this an example of "If you can't beat them, join them"? I wonder what the build quality is like...
  11. I really don't think it looks all that bad. Reminds me a bit of a Motorola razr lol. I'd get one if it wasn't expensive.
  12. That will be helpful when watching the WAN show lol
  13. Well the "T" is for "Tony" the "o" is for the second letter in "Tony" and here's where it gets tricky.. the "ny" is for the second half of "Tony". Did I mention my name is Tony? Funny story, I try my best to claim the username "Tony" whenever possible but most of the time I can't so I'm more known as Tony[Removed]. *Hint: [removed] is my last name. well then.. that wasn't all that funny at all.. oh well.
  14. I'd love to see an actual graphics card with a beautiful matte black powder coating on it like the render, too bad they probably wont
  15. If this actually legit.. I'm absolutely pissed, they've already ruined Skype.. what will they do to Minecraft -.-
  16. E.T. is coming home! lol what a sad failure that turned out to be..
  17. Wow, that's really beautiful.. I wonder how bright the display actually is though.. being a transparent one.. I'd be concerned how it would actually preform
  18. That's really depressing. This is the only smart wear I was even remotely thinking I would get.. but I would need at least 2 days of use.. I mean.. it's a watch.. could maybe benefit from a small solar cell under the glass around the rim?? (If they use this idea they owe me! lol)
  19. I know I was just being silly, I really think it's a little overkill but I think they're only try to flaunt their possibilities personally I'd fill it with a bunch of 4gb sticks cause they're super cheap but I bet SOMEONE would find a use for 2tb... if not for actual use but maybe being able to ignore a memory leak for a few years could be a use case for the super lazy I suppose
  20. EEC ram, dual xeon's... this IS a server I can understand the dual xeons but I can't think of anything that would require more than 64gb of ram... unless maybe they use it as a render farm system for a huge company like Pixar..? possibly?
  21. any idea on if i can get my quick access to control panel and admin options?
  22. I'm not just talking about the aesthetic of color and shape, I'm talking about the cramming those stupid menu elements (the large news, store, mail etc) into a start menu first of all, cause I always go to my computer specs, access my control panel and administrative controls from the side they've replaced and I like them there cause they've been there for years.. (the right screen fly-out was the stupidest thing ever). the icons (specifically the windows folder) have changed and it fits the style they're changing to.. so that seems like it might be a near sure design and it looks terrible . the addition of a notifications button too... bothers me cause I already hate that they put a bunch of stuff in the bottom right (although, in windows 8 they added the ability to hide most of these so that's a HUGE plus.. hopefully this will be another optional thing and not forced). The what looks to be search and window.. transition?? buttons in the bottom left better be optional.. if it has anything to do with the 16th image ( http://pics.computerbase.de/6/0/0/7/8/20_m.png ) I don't like that feature at all, it looks identical to Apple's virtual desktops.. and I preffer just having multiple screens that i can turn my eyes to see, not push buttons to flip back and forth (again, probably optional, but completely not innovative on Microsoft's part.. ) Most of these things don't seem very temporary.. It's very much in the works, granted they may flesh out a few things, give them a bit of paint and a buff.. but I'm just old fashioned in liking things how they were, xp was great, windows 7 didn't throw you too far off a cliff with a learning curve or much change and now they're shoving it all down your throat.. Windows most iconic feature IS it's start button.. and now they've tried to completely change it, that upsets me if I can have the benefits of more efficient programming in windows 8.1 .. with my windows 7 start button (I don't care if they change the style a little bit but don't take it's functionality and DON'T replace it with large ugly square colored buttons .. )
  23. Things like this have been a concern for a long time now, but the in the past nothing has happened yet so I'm really not that concerned (ignorance is really quite bliss .. <.< I don't want to worry my life away on what-ifs) If anyone has any huge concerns they can just build all their stuff into a Faraday cage for safety but don't count on getting any WiFi or cellular service in there
  24. ...It's so ugly x_x why must they do this to us (well, to anyone who agrees with me) I think.. I'll stick with windows 7 I guess or .. stop at 8.1 sp1 (hoping the make one..) and just put start is back on it
  25. I believe I started following you guys 2-3 years ago now to always keep up with the latest in tech you guys would unbox and review and would always try to find what would be best to buy by checking out your videos any time i want/need to get something new I'd check your videos! then you guys started the doing a weekly live show which has been so fun to watch even when it turned into the WAN show and around that same time you guys opened up this forum which I have to say is my favorite forum to go to for help or research because the community is usually quite nice and trolls are minimal if any. You guys are awesome and I hope you guys keep up what you do for many years to come, If you make it, I'll watch it *as long as it's not another video of Linus rapping. Thank you guys for your hard work and congratulations on reaching the big million!
