TN panels support higher refresh rates, IPS panels are better to look at. I think I'll stick with TN, framerate matters a lot more to me than a pretty picture

 

You missed the analogy. I work with Photos and Video for my job, having a more accurate monitor is more important to me. Prior to seeing an IPS panel I thought my TN panel was pretty accurate and pretty damn good. This was a false assumption and I could see that with eh new monitor. Likewise, you have probably never used a good optical mouse, so you do not have anything to compare the accuracy of your mouse to.

I have used a good optical mouse, I got a Logitech G400s from my friend a long time ago but it's been broken for years

Oh you fanboy. Try phanteon or xfce and then rethink if 8.1 sucks or not. The whole 8.x windows is a tablet optimized OS not desktop optimized. But whatever you sheep will buy it cuz it's windows.

 

No, Windows 8.1 has better performance, supports DX12, and many other things. Windows 8.1 also added a lot that made navigation with it easier on a mouse. On top of that you can easily set it to boot to the desktop, and disable to stupid charms menues. You can even have metro apps run in the desktop now, although I never do. Ignoring the metro is easy, and I only use it to launch programs that are not on my taskbar.

Still no point for an update so soon. Win 7 will be supported a few years more with updates so why. I will think on 8 as a daily os in 3 years when they patched all the bugs.

Bye LTT. That was an interesting journey on this board. At least here you see how not to do it. I'll go shaking my head about this place.

Bugs? What bugs?

 

Nobody said that you have to upgrade to 8.1. 7 is good and feel free to stick with it. But 8.1 is not bad. If you ignore the Metro UI, you will find that 8.1 is better than 7.

Fractal is a style argument.

 

but how on earth can you like molex? Every single last molex connector I've used has been flimsy and the pins pushed out with the wires attached whenever I tried to connect them, as opposed to the simple 3/4 pin connectors that just plug in simply and easily.

I hate how my computer always heats my room up as well.

 

I have to constantly have my air conditioner running 27 hours a day to ensure I can sleep as well as keep my room & computer cold enough so it doesn't break.

$100 cables that are advertised as super fast 100% gold plated stuff... 

 

Those poor ill informed consumers.... 

 

I buy my HDMI cables at a local dollar store for 3 bucks each. the packaging says gold plated connectors, and the cables really do work well, but I'm sure its only fools gold :rolleyes:

TN Displays

TN panels are awesome. Don't tell me you play games facing at a weird angle to your screen.

HP.

Ni-Cd batteries

Alkaline batteries. Everyone should be forced to use eneloops.

Apple claiming it invents stuff. All it has invented is Lightning, although I concede that it is a superior technology to MicroUSB.

Nokia not jumping on the android bandwagon like they are now wishing they had before Microsoft dragged it into its own sinking raft.

        Speaking of which, Symbian.

                   Speaking of which, Windows Phone OS.

the fact that USB is not just the contact bit in the middle. I want them to get rid of those stupid metal brackets. ultrabooks would have way less restriction.

Toshiba for its hard drives

Samsung for being a conglomerate of jerkasses

The NSA for wasting our tax dollars and giving us a good reason to be paranoid enough to use VPNs.

Tor for being Tor

Motion Computing for not existing anymore. No one cares about them even though they are brilliant. You want a real windows tablet? there you go.

Blackberry for having existed for any span of time

Compaq.

Sony

Windows 8 and 8.1.

Bose

Beats (we will never forgive you.)

Apple has actually done good stuff though.

 

(invention) MiniDisplayPort

(co-invention) Thunderbolt (mostly Intel, but Apple created the original connector and launched Thunderbolt into the market)

Disrupted and changed the course of the mobile phone world.

Constantly pushing the envelope in terms of design and engineering. Seriously, you have to give it to them that they fit the hardware they did in the Mac Pro and created a sufficient cooling system, same for the MacBook Air in it's heyday.

 

There's a lot more, but of course people who listen to people like Logan from TekSyndicate are just going to bulldoze right over important stuff.
