I'm all for it. OS and GUI design has been a largely American and European endeavor for the last several decades. Even if they use Linux at the core, a new infusion of ideas from the minds of other cultures could affect some very positive change. …

For your battery, first charge it up completely. Then you should run your machine until you get the battery warning. Ignore it and continue working until it goes to sleep automatically. After that, charge the battery completely again and it will …

ftp://download.intel.com/design/Pent...s/24988903.pdf From Intel's thermal design guide for the Pentium 4: Quote: In addition to passive heatsinks, fan heatsinks and system fans, other solutions exist for cooling integrated circuit devices. For…

Oh, I just can't resist a bit of trivia... Introduced in 1985, the Cray-2 Supercomputer (1.9 GFlops, 2 GBytes memory) used a fluid called Florinert (used in heart transplants) for cooling. It was pumped throughout the entire computer and then coole…

That is a stunning ad... ...except for "Over a million sold". That sounds too McDonalds-esque for me.

Quote: Originally posted by dfiler To claim that liquid cooling will always be inherently inferior or impractical, is just plain foolish. I agree. As an engineer, I must always seek the optimal solution to a given problem. "Optimal" do…

Additionally, the pictures show other devices which are heatsunk and not connected to the liquid cooling system. This means that the case's existing air cooling system must remain to cool these devices. Also, I don't see the water cooler doing…

Quote: Originally posted by iSegway [...]A water cooling system can be controlled, auto cooling systems do this. An auto's cooling system relies on moving the heat from inside the engine to the radiator, where moving air transfers the heat to…

I've had two Canon digitals and have been extremely pleased with both of them. My Pro90IS has been a faithful companion for years: it's been around the world and hasn't given me a lick of trouble: Greece & Turkey I also bought a Canon EL…

That's a very good question; the answer lies in Ohm's Law--the relationship between Current (I), Voltage (V), Resistance (R) and Power (P): V=I*R (Ohm's Law) P=I*V (P=I^2*R) The first thing to notice is that Power loss (power lost in a wire d…

Those are nice demos, but I didn't see anything there that represented any real improvement to usability. To be sure, OS X is loaded with eye candy--but it is generally used with at least some degree of purpose. The "genie effect", for example, …

It seems to me that Apple probably added a second optical bay to the latest El Capitan cases due to customer demand--I doubt that they'd have gone to the trouble/expense otherwise. So, I'd say that there is at least some evidence that this was a fe…

Quote: Originally posted by iSegway Are you saying that watercooling isn't superior to air cooling with computers? Remember that nothing (water or otherwise) can remove heat, only *move* it. The ultimate goal of any cooling system is to move…

9 fans rotating at a moderate speed will move more air than 1 fan running full speed, and will produce much less motor and air turbulance noise. Also, moving an amount of air through a large opening will result in less noise than moving the same am…

I like to make a bunch of folders (Graphics, Games, Utilities, etc.) and put shortcuts in them. I then put these folders in the dock: You can add new apps to the folders by OPT-CMD dragging them into the folder of your choice. Works bett…

All I can say is "Wow." This is simply an amazing product; I bought my upgrade as soon as Omni's overloaded servers let me in! I now no longer have need for ConceptDraw... although CD does have much better engineering libraries... maybe such l…

Best printer I've ever owned! I have never seen a printer by any maker that generates more realistic and natural colors. Blue skies, especially, are virtually without flaw--no clumsy gradations. One of the reasons it prints so quickly des…

It is very hard to explain to someone in quantitative terms, why I (or any of us?) prefer using a Mac. PCs and Macs have both evolved into perfectly usable systems for nearly all tasks. I suppose one just has to live with two systems to understa…

For me, the appeal of the Mac is hard to describe and certainly hard to demonstrate in a short period of time. When you use a Mac for a prolonged period of time, you begin to develop an appreciation that Apple realy does try to make your life e…
