I think the bottleneck at the high-end sort of deflates how awesome these workstations are. What I mean is... 10 years ago, each new generation of Intel processor or video card was often orders of magnitude faster than the previous. Now, we are at…

I have a simple heat-only natural gas furnace. The dummies that ran the wire for the thermostat only ran 2 conductor, so I don't have the option of running the fan only which would be nice in the summer. (I don't know if the Nest even lets a perso…

Does anyone using a tablet or smart phone care about benchmarks? That's a PC way of thinking what a customer wants. I remember the old Norton benchmarks... that's back when chip speeds actually made noticeable jumps. Now, the latest iMac has a 3.…

After all the hype of Microsoft aiming the surface as a 'professional tablet' and slamming the iPad, it seems odd to now use the MacBook Air as a comparison. Is the Surface a tablet or not? I think not... it's a laptop that doesn't come with a key…

Oh I called... a lot... the options were to deliver it to an 'Apple store' myself, or courier it to another authorized shop (Simply Computing or London Drugs are some of the options for me). Given the risk of some kid screwing up my screen doing…

My drive started throwing bad sectors (lots of them) and I spend $$$ on Drive Genuis to repair it (spare bad blocks)... it just kept getting worse. Ran my # and it said it wasn't eligible. I am far from an Apple store, so finally made it this su…

So... people were freaking about the glass back, so Apple switched to aluminum... surprise, it isn't as hard as glass, and if you run it with sandpaper it scratches... A better comparison would be doing the same with 4-5 leading phones... Android, …

Another cash grab... 4 was a $50 hit for not much... now another $50 for 5? For what?!?! For it to work with Mountain Lion? Frak you. I'm done with VMWare... worse than having to buy a $299 'premium' version of Windows...

I had a very strange thing yesterday... my screen went black (still powered on), the mouse cursor was still there... then the display powered off... and this cycle repeated 5-6 times in 2 minutes, then the screen came back... 2010 iMac 27 inch...…

Wow... all 10 Quicken for Mac users have already posted a comment...

I thought they were going to be using WebOS to drive their printers and such? I guess that is going out the window as well?

I am sad.

There was/is lots of competition... the problem with most of them was they based their business model on 'free' music. Somehow, this didn't work as a business model. What Apple did was break the world into the concept of micro-transcations... .99 …

A revolutionary design choice would be to ban all gas-powered cars and have the capacity to generate it's own electricity on-site. Run the whole building and charge plug-ins with solar, hydrogen, or something else new. Can you imagine a $0 cost fa…

I'm tired of donating $100 a year for 'upgrades' that don't really do much more, are no faster, don't fix any of the old bugs... etc etc.... For these types of incremental updates, I'd pay $25 to stay up to date. $80 for PS Elements is no deal..…
