    iPhone 4 (non-S) is getting really hot and burning me...

    Yea either try kill all the apps or it is the battery that is having problems. Check with an Apple store if it is really "hot", they'll be more than willingly replace it if there is a battery issue. PS - plz don't put it beside your face if it is that "hot", u dunno if it is gonna explode =_="

    Wireless monitor design

    Sorry for the late reply guys. After several discussions, we had agreed on going for the idea of a powerline monitor. And the choice of standard for powerline communication would be HomePlug AV if we decide to pursue this route. The reason for doing so is that wireless monitor standard had...

    Hey all, I am currently a EE student and had recently formed a 4th year project team. We came up with the idea of developing a wireless monitor and would like some input on the usability and the technical implementation. =) The idea is that the system will connect directly to the output of a...

    Lenovo Thinkpad T510 Questions Before I Purchase

    Should I get NVIDIA NVS3100M graphics or will integrated graphics be good for my use? You said no gaming, therefore integrated would be better. Should I get 64 bit windows 7 or 32 bit? I will be getting 4gb ram upgrade. The price of both operating systems is the same. 64-bit, no point to hit...

    Wow, I was unprepared for just how crappy Lenovo LCDs are....

    I had never been impressed with the ThinkPad's LCD screens since they Lenovo had taken over the product line. A week ago I had a chance to compare a T4x (from IBM) with the newer T6x (from lenovo) side by side... the view angle and contrast ratio was clearly much better on the T4x in my eyes...

    Need an opinion on the Thinkpad L412

    This year, L series is the renamed SL series, R series had been retied and the Edge series is added. If budget allows, go for the real ThinkPad... the T series. Else, the L series that you have listed there is good.

    Lenovo T61 Shuts Off Randomly

    Try isolate the problem by determining whether if the battery is causing the issue. Take out the battery while plugged in to see if it still shuts off randomly. If not, run some system stress tests on the CPU and memory system.

    New notebook advice

    i3 with on-board video since you don't game. You'll be happier with the longer battery life and cooler laptop. Since you'd confirmed that GMA 4500 supports flash acceleration that's just one less reason to go with dedicated graphic card. It'll offload CPU cycles... and you'll be happy with your i3.

    Chrome for linux stinks

    Chrome is much more stable for me under Ubuntu compared to Firefox... it also feels faster. There are still many areas that Chrome can be improved, but the fact that it is solid convinced me to switch over.

    Boot problems after power outage

    Can you try reset the BIOS and turn on the settings for performing full diagnose testing on bootup? On top of that, try take out the hard drive as it is not needed at this moment.

    Boot problems after power outage

    Try identify and see if it is a software or hardware layer issue by running a Linux live OS, then move on from there.
