    LG Shows Off 18-Inch Flexible, Transparent OLED Display

    I thought the same thing. Glad to see another E:FC fan :) For those not familiar, here's picture of the device, called a Global on the show. The screen was inserted digitally back then, but this could soon be our reality, only thinner with today's technology :) (the closed unit is actually...

    Who Will Buy A $500 Steam Machine?

    For those of you who would rather use a keyboard and mouse with their Steambox or existing PC wired via HDMI to your TV and are having trouble with a keyboard and mouse on the couch, buy a laptop cushion, like one pictured below. I've got one I used in the living room. I balance it on my...

    BF4 Hardware Upgrade Questions

    I managed to score a copy of BF4 yesterday (2013-11-11) on a trade any used 360/PS3/WiiU game for a new copy of BF4 (among others). (Traded Shadowrun, since I don't have XBox Live). I didn't get much of a chance to play, but the game seemed to be running smoothly at 1680x1050 with most settings...

    BF4 Hardware Upgrade Questions

    An old Thermaltake Tsunami Dream that's been through at least two motherboards/cpus and many other upgrades. Stainless steel look, with no window, as pictured below. Still not too bad of a case, even given its age.

    BF4 Hardware Upgrade Questions

    I asked my parents for a gift card from a local computer shop (Memory Express) for Christmas, so I'll either want to spend the money on hardware or another game (COD Ghosts, maybe?). If I decide to go hardware, I was wondering what a good upgrade for BF4 and other future games would be. I'll...

    Vid Card Upgrade for Asrock 939 Dual-Sata2 board

    I bought the $115 Geforce GTX 650 TI on Monday and installed it on Friday; its working well. My 3dMark Vantage 3d score increased three fold from the 8800 gt (3dMark 2011 would not run on the 8800 gt). I uninstalled the drivers, and ran driver cleaning software in safe mode, just to keep on...

    Vid Card Upgrade for Asrock 939 Dual-Sata2 board

    I'm thinking of grabbing a Zotac Geforce 650 TI video card from my local supplier for $115 (American and Canadian dollar is about the same right now). I missed a $100 yesterday on a HIS Radeon 7770, but I could also get that fro $120. Is either card a worthwhile upgrade to an 8800 gt? I'm...

    Vid Card Upgrade for Asrock 939 Dual-Sata2 board

    One more question in regards to a future graphics update: When I put in the new CPU/motherboard/RAM, I put Windows 7 in out out of box mode before doing the swap, which worked fine. In the case of an upgrade to either an Nvidia card, or an AMD card, would uninstalling the old video card drivers...

    Pioneering Scientists Turn Fresh Air into Gasoline

    Some disposable plastics are now being made from plant cellulose, with the additional benefits of being biodegradable. As for the rest, I'm from the province of Alberta in Canada. Or oil sands rival the reserves of Saudi Arabia, if it doesn't have to all be burned in cars the reserves...

    Pioneering Scientists Turn Fresh Air into Gasoline

    As you said, this won't be energy efficient, especially to begin with, but that is now what this is about. The point is we can produce our primary mobile energy source from any electric energy source. We can liquify, distribute, and burn the energy from nuclear power plants, wind farms, tidal...

    Vid Card Upgrade for Asrock 939 Dual-Sata2 board

    I was able to bump my upgrade schedule ahead. My wife wanted a Ninja blender and a rice cooker, so I was able to upgrade early. Yay! :) I got the following parts from my local retailer Memory Express. Prices are in Canadian dollars. The Canadian dollar is worth a little more then the...

    Vid Card Upgrade for Asrock 939 Dual-Sata2 board

    Given the advice I received on the thread, I'm going to hold off upgrading until Christmas, and see if I can upgrade my CPU, board, and RAM at that time. Thanks everyone!
