    Anyone here still using CRT?

    My Sony CRT has been sitting in my bedroom for over a year now, collecting dust. I retired it after I bought a Dell IPS monitor (for work). For graphics, I find that my Sony CRT is as good, if not better than any of my other monitors (IPS, VA and TN). The problem is size. LCD monitors are...

    Waiting for Haswell?

    Guys, when is the i7-4770k due to hit the streets and when can we expect to see reviews of this CPU? I would be interested in buying this CPU, but only if it can genuinely overclock high, while maintaining stability. I'm not really impressed by suicide/unstable overclocks.

    Intel Ivy Bridge Processor IPC and Overclocking @ [H]

    How can you say that budget is irrelevant? R+D budgets (generally) dictate how quickly you can develop/improve a product. In general, the more money you throw at a problem, the faster it gets solved.

    Intel Ivy Bridge Processor IPC and Overclocking @ [H]

    Ok. All good points. My problem is that I am not using it in a laptop. I want to put it in a desktop and overclock it to the highest possible 24/7 overclock. A lot of others on this forum also want to overclock (they will not run the CPU at stock). The IPC of IB is higher than SB, though...

    Intel Ivy Bridge Processor IPC and Overclocking @ [H]

    If you disagree with my comment (this is Intel's BullDozer), please justfiy your response. Please be an adult about this. As I said, I am looking for reasons to buy IvyBridge (over SandyBridge) and I would love to hear some reasons. I am genuinely deciding whether to buy SB or IB.

    Intel Ivy Bridge Processor IPC and Overclocking @ [H]

    Why are people waiting to order this CPU? Now that the results are out, this CPU is basically a more expensive version of SB, while offering near identical performance? Surely the smart thing to do would be to buy Sandybridge 2X00K, looking for good deals on an SB CPU. I honestly can't think...

    Electromagnetic Railgun Tested On Video

    Aaaah. I never thought of this. This would bring a new meaning to the word AAA fire. Rather than having single rounds attempting to hit a high speed aircraft, you have a low firing rate EM gun, which spits out 100s of smaller pellets...almost like a shot gun. This could work.

    Electromagnetic Railgun Tested On Video

    The problem with a high speed shell though, is that you can't turn it at tightish angles in mid-air. I remember during the Gulf War when Tomahawk Cruise Missiles were being publicised and reported to the public, they showed how a Cruise missile has the ability to do tight turns. With a high...

    Electromagnetic Railgun Tested On Video

    OK, lets assume that a EM projectile is 1/8th of the cost of a cruise missile. What we have to know is that could 8 EM projectiles hit a single target? We know that in general a cruise missile has an extraordinarily high accurate hit rate. We also have the problem of collateral damage. So, if...

    Electromagnetic Railgun Tested On Video

    Fair enough, but for longer ranges, we currently use cruise missiles which are much more accurate that projectile weapons/shells. Given the existence of cruise missiles which are very accurate, what advantage does his weapon have over the cruise missile?

    Every Android Device Now Infringes Apple Patent

    This new bill doesnt change much, though. As I understand it, the only thing that the new bill does is prevent person1, from suing person2, for a patent infringment, BEFORE the patent was granted. In otherwords, currently, if if person1 invents and uses a technology for 5 years, then...

    Every Android Device Now Infringes Apple Patent

    This patent infringement is getting ridiculous. Soon, we will reach a point where nobody will want to develop a piece of software, because they are worried that they may be sued out of existence, somewhere down the line.

    Tech Company to Build Science Ghost Town

    What has caused people to abandon Detroit? I would've thought that with people struggling for money, Detroit would be a great place to go and take possession of a vacant property and live rent free? Is the US Government planning to do some form of regeneration in Detroit or are they pretending...

    The "Unlimited Detail" Guys Are Back

    All I can say is that I am looking at the detail on the tree and the whole island of trees and it looks MUCH better than anything being released in 2011. Yes...some of the trees may not be unique...but they still look MUCH better than anything we have right now. The only issue is the...
