    Steve Jobs' Early Home To Become Historical Site?

    My in-laws live in this neighborhood. $1.5M is about par for the neighborhood. Values have been skyrocketing in the past year or two in the area. Many homes have been torn down and rebuilt. Speaking on behalf of my in-laws. They don't mind one bit.

    Leaving PCs On Overnight Costs $2.8B Annually

    If you left your pickup running 24/7 for the past 10 years, it you wouldn't have had to waste all that time smoking and warming it up in the morning. And by the logic of a few people in this forum. Your pick up would probably never have a service issue in that time because turning it off and...

    Leaving PCs On Overnight Costs $2.8B Annually

    People thinking it's "cool" to leave on your PC when not in use must also be the ones who loved $4/gallon gasoline. I cannot think of a single good reason to keep your typical desktop/notebook workstation running while not in use. FOLDING is great, congratulations, but the fact is the same...

    NVIDIA Stock Plummets

    While the article was sarcastic and very funny it definitely shows how serious Hard is when it comes to its reviews. There's no site I trust more to give me the "no BS dirt" I want when it comes to hardware. Time and time again Hard has proven its loyalty to the readers and not the hardware...

    HD DVD Price Cuts Only Prolong Agony

    The comparison of DVD to HighDef is Apples to Oranges in my opinion. DVD will be brushed aside quickly by anyone who already owns an HDTV once a "winner" is named. Especially considering the quality of some of these newer DVD's these days. I will admit there are a few movies that are close...

    Three Sony headphones... which ones to get?

    MDR-700DJ's are trash, they're for DJ's they get LOUD, and thats it. They don't seal well, fall apart, trashy sound. If you want Sony get the only good cans they ever made the V6's. They are very comparable too Senns etc..

    IBM UltraBay battery issue v. holds less charge

    I believe its the age of a Li-Ion more than number of cycles that will be your problem. Im down to 58.71Wh, 76 cycles, MFG date 8/1/05, so pretty much 12 months old. Is the ultrabay battery used or does it mainly just sit there? Is the charging threshold set to 3-5%? (i believe they allow you...

    processor Q's for new Dell 1405

    The new Dell 1405 caught my interest with its good size, decent options and incredible batterylife *for a dell*. Anyway, my main concern was the CPU options, the T2050 is a 1.66 ghz dual core 533mhz FSB, while the T2400 is a 1.83 ghz dual core 677mhz FSB. And with either you're still putting...

    Nintendo Wii - THOUGHTS!!!

    I would call what Sony did, by adding a seemingly crud version of motion sensitivity gimmicky. How much dev time did they really spend on that, maybe it was their plan all along or maybe it was an answer to Nintendos control style. In the Nintendo press conference video, their demos didn't...

    Questions on the DS....

    Unfortunately with solid state memory used for this system, I would assume the requirement to turn off and back on is more of a safety feature.

    Nintendo Wii - THOUGHTS!!!

    I believe Nintendo's plan of getting "NEW" gamers while appealing to the CORE gamer is an ingenius idea. I personally know that the complexity of some games these days with the Xbox and PS2 have prevented groups from playing their games. These groups being potential new gamers and the "older"...
