    Cellphone cancer nonsense

    That is the point. Most people fail to realize and appreciate this fact. Cancer can also be caused by paints and chemicals from objects people use daily. Or even junk food. Who knows. If Medical experts knew exactly why and when cancer can happen, we would have 100% prevention if not a 100% cure.

    Passing video through a video card?

    You cannot, because video cards do not have any input ports. They only have output ports.

    Cellphone cancer nonsense

    I want to cross the point on the "Gas stations don't ever want you to use your cell phone part". All gas station in my country use these wireless credit card machines to let you pay the bill. and funnily enough, these machines work on GPRS or 3G (which I'm sure you know is the same cellphone...

    Can the microwave affect the fridge?

    I'll drop my 2 cents here. 1. WiFi and Microwave, both operate at 2.4 GHz wireless frequency. This is an unlicensed frequency in most/all countries. 2. Difference is in the amount of power put into generating the frequency. A WiFi router/modem would not use more than 10W... the Microwave would...

    How can I tell if my laptop screen is IPS or TN?

    I've yet to come across a Latitude with a IPS display. All latitudes (being a business oriented laptop and stuff) come with TN. Also, this review -> http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Dell-Latitude-E7440-Notebook.103185.0.html It says it has a TN panel.

    Nokia X Android

    Quoting a line found on this link: http://conversations.nokia.com/2014/02/24/nokia-x-family/ And the video on the same above link... the guy says that apps compatible with android can also be download and used from 3rd party app stores. Going by this, I'm under the impression that Google Play...

    I hope touchscreens are just a fad that die and get replaced by something else

    I'm surprised no one remembers this from last year. http://tactustechnology.com/ These guys demoed a Handset with buttons popping out from the touch screen and disappearing when not required, thereby giving you a "Hybrid" of sorts... I dunno the actual workability of this tech, but the...

    nvidia tegra K1

    One question if someone is willing to fill me in on... Does the CPU and GPU in Tegra have shared memory, or do they require separate memory spaces? For example, the onboard graphics on most of the old motherboards allocated some of the RAM as graphics memory, but that allocated memory was not...

    Who has a windows phone?

    Nopes. Happens on my 920 too, and primarily because I've noticed that WhatsApp usually fails to switchover from WiFi to mobile data when there is weak/no WiFi connection. (I check this by going to whatsapp settings -> Connection -> and notice "Not Connected") When I turn of WiFi, the toast...

    WP8 GDR3 / Nokie Bittersweet shimmer / Black

    Well, dunno about US, but far down here, Internet Sharing turns my Lumia 920 into a WiFi hotspot. I don't think the 920 has BT4.0 LE baked in though... Waiting for the Bittersweet Shimmer/Black update to drop by here. Mails, FM radio are working perfectly as well. No issues with everyday use.

    Who still burns DVD's in 2013 !?!?

    Well, I've been unlucky enough to have 2 hard drives fail me on the same day, one after the other. It was that fateful day that I realized the advantages of living in a dormitory. Someone or the other had stuff I needed to put back on my RMAd hard drives. That aside, my unlucky experience is an...

    Wife's much loved 5310 won't charge, fix, replace same/new?

    The only small and light phones I know are the cheaper samsung Galaxy phones(2.8 to 3 inches). Here, try something thing and light and about 4 inches. The best I could figure out is the midrange Sony Xperias (Xperia L, SP, ZR, etc)

    Who here uses Windows Phone?

    Yep, I'm in India... where carrier contracts don't exist and we can port over to other carriers whenever we are bored of our current ones :D Back on topic now, WPTorrent was downloading torrents fine on my 920. My only gripe is that it doesn't save directly to the accessible phone memory and I...

    The AMD Mantle Thread

    Anyways, I think the gist of it is this -> Wait for Mantle to actually come and see if it actually makes any difference. For now, AMD has the console advantage which could work in its favor. Mantle has so far nothing to do with Nvidia. They could be coming up with something similar as we speak...

    Nokia Lumia 929

    The chassis looks a lot like the 620. Let's wait and see how this actually cooks up to be.
