  • Intel isn't suing nVidia over the MCP79, nor are they suing nVidia over any licensed property that nVidia already has products out for. nVidia has a license to produce chipsets utilizing Intel's FSB technology, but what they do NOT have licenses to …
    in Intel suit halts development of future Nvidia chipsets Comment by brianb October 2009

    in Study shows steady decline in AT&T brand perception Comment by brianb September 2009

  • For some reason it seems to me that a lot of people feel "threatened" by the MBA..There's a lot of senseless hatred/bashing for this thing, despite the fact that every single person that owns one absolutely loves it. Go figure, huh. lol..another …
    in So how many more of you would buy MacBook Air's Comment by brianb March 2008
  • Great stuff..and I've noticed roughly the same battery life from my experience..what I'd like to see next is the difference in battery life between the 1.6 and 1.8 models..the 1.6 runs at a lower voltage and consumes less wattage..so I'd like to kno…

  • I just wanted to throw my two cents in here.. I put in a preorder for the Macbook Air the second the store came online after the keynote. Due to this, I've had mine since thursday, so I've gotten a decent amount of time to play around with it and…
