    Americans' Job Satisfaction Falls to Record Low

    As much as I hate the company I work for and their excessive penny-pinching (no raise, no bonus, and no Christmas party, despite an INCREASE in sales over '08), I'm quite happy that I have a relatively secure job and one that has a regular 40 hour schedule (8 to 5). I'll move on from this job as...

    Modern Warfare 2 Blows Away Launch Records

    I'm going to hold off buying MW2 for a while. $60 for any game is too much for me, and even then, my next game purchase will be Forza Motorsport 3. I played MW on the PC and it's pretty decent, though I wish I have the ability to select & customize weapons before each level (like Ghost...

    Are You an Impulse Game Buyer?

    I usually see myself as an impulse game buyer when there's a good price on a game I want. Case in point, the recent Direct2Drive $5 game sale. I don't fall for the new game hype as often as before, mainly because games (especially consoles) are so expensive. Even if the game actually does gives...

    At 60 M.P.H., Office Work Is High Risk

    Not me. No e-mail, phone call, or text message is worth injury or death to you, your passengers, or anyone else. The only phone call you can make while driving is 911... and even then, it may be wise to get to a place where you can drive slow. I'm all for outlawing cell phones and texting while...

    2 8800GTS 640 for $120 good?

    For $120, you're better off buying a 4870. I got my 1GB 4870 a month ago ($128 shipped @ eWiz) and it's about as fast (or faster) than the 640MB 8800GTS SLI setup I had before. It also helps saves a couple of PCI slots, noise, heat, etc. To answer the question about the 8800GTS (G80) memory...

    Seagate 1.5TB - $100 @ Dell FS

    I just received my drive today. I haven't had a chance to format it yet, as I'm looking for an external enclosure to put it in.

    Seagate 1.5TB - $100 @ Dell FS

    I bit.....I'm not hurting for storage, but this would be an excellent drive for external backup. I live in Texas, so tax is a given, but it's $10 cheaper than Fry's 1-day sale last week (granted, Fry's was a retail box, vs. Dell's OEM version). I would add that the free shipping is 2nd Day Air...

    XFX 1GB 4870 is back... 128 SHIPPED!

    I bit this morning.... finally going to retire the SLI 8800GTS (G80) from the gaming rig and go to a single card solution. I was hoping the Dell/Galaxy 9600GT deal would ship out pretty soon, but I don't think it would, so I might just cancel that order and free up some cash.

    WWDC 2009 Coverage

    Same here. That's the right way to sell a new OS -- price it for the masses so that more folks can upgrade through legitimate channels. I don't think Microsoft still has grasped the concept yet... if you sell the upgrade for an affordable price AND offer a multi-license version for a reasonable...

    Very nice price for those three processors. I bought my E8400 from Dell a couple of weeks ago for $142 + tax. I should have waited...

    MSI gtx260 216sp 55nm OCV2 $160 AR FS FG

    So tempting... but I think I'll just wait for the next generation of video cards. I know my SLI rig still has plenty of power to run the latest games.
