    Amazon Is Testing Its Own Delivery Service to Rival FedEx and UPS

    Amazon's current delivery service, Amazon Logistics, is just plain horrible. I literally just closed my Amazon account because there's no way to opt out of Amazon Logistics. I'd been a customer since 2009 with over $100,000 in purchases but upwards of 70% of the recent deliveries (or attempts)...

    Russian 'Runaway Robot' Causes Traffic Lam

    The white robot is the least interesting aspect of the video. The dude who comes out at the end, on the other hand... wtf? Edit: My nurse buddy just smacked me upside the head and said, "Marfan syndrome, you effin' idiot!" Hrrrmppph. I deny his medical mumbo-jumbo; I'm sticking with my alien...

    ASUS Maximus VIII Gene LGA 1151 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    I don't think there is. This board has turned out to be the perfect solution for me. I just wish there was a wider selection of decent small matx cases. I have it in a Fractal Arc Mini right now, which is a pretty small case... but there's still wasted room. My only gripe about this board is...

    Tested: Oculus Rift vs HTC Vive Pre

    I view them more as limitations than actual problems; the tech just isn't here yet to bring out the full potential of VR. However, even with the current limited tech, VR is a pretty awesome experience. I'll pay the premium for bleeding edge rather than potentially miss out on a few years of...

    Tested: Oculus Rift vs HTC Vive Pre

    It's not quite the same with glasses, tho. While people who wear glasses may see the edges of their frames, there's still "content" beyond the edges, it's just not sharply focused. With the VR headsets, everything beyond the edges is black. It's one of those things that most people will be...

    Tested: Oculus Rift vs HTC Vive Pre

    A lot of people comment on this after spending a little bit of time playing with the various VR headsets. This is the current state of VR and it affects EVERY headset from the various cardboard units to the Samsung Gear to the HTC Vive. In the comparison done in the article, the Vive "window" is...

    Swiftech Introduces Next Generation Of AIO Liquid Cooling Kits

    I actually am a silent PC enthusiast; it's why I got into water cooling in the first place. While the fans may be twice as loud as what's on the Swiftech, I've never needed to run them at more than 1500 RPM under load with my 6700K clocked at 4.6 Ghz; at that speed, they can't even remotely be...

    Swiftech Introduces Next Generation Of AIO Liquid Cooling Kits

    I can appreciate the quality of the hardware and the nice aesthetics, but even the top H320 X2 Prestige version gets beat by the Corsair H110i GTX (which actually surprises me). These days, I don't really care what it looks like; I just want good, simple, silent cooling ('cept when I'm gaming...

    Woman Targeted By Microsoft Impersonators

    A Mac won't protect a person from this type of scam any more than a Windows or Linux computer will. The vulnerability here is not the operating system, it's the computer user. The scammers convince the user to install and configure remote control software, often a commercially available program...

    Woman Targeted By Microsoft Impersonators

    Heh. Thanks. I love the part where he gets all flustered when I ask him if his name is Susan for the second time. :D I keep meaning to make a youtube video with it. I have a bunch of photos of angry tech support people to use as a slideshow; I just keep getting sidetracked with other...

    Fractal Design Arc Midi R2

    The key, for me at least, is not going completely crazy on the white. I've seen black & white builds where the person painted the radiators and fan bodies white... and it just ends up being too much white, imo. I wanted just enough white to break up the dark areas, but not so much as to become a...

    Fractal Design Arc Midi R2

    Thanks. The 4-bay is an Icy Dock 4 in 1 SAS Hot Swap RAID Cage (the one with a single power connector on the back and a switch to disable the fan). Here's the (mostly) complete parts list:
