    Why does Google mistakenly link websites in different countries?

    Hi everyone, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this problem here but please bear with me as I was approached by a close friend who is working at a company and facing a bizarre problem.

    https://videocardz.com/67124/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-ti-review-leaked So there's a leaked review out. Seems the card is roughly equal to the Pascal Titan aside from a few specific applications. A win at its price point?

    Vaio Z - 2015: Excitement?

    Hi all, I don't tend to create new threads much but I am (perhaps not so..) surprised that no one posted anyting relating to the resurrection of the Vaio Z brand, with two products already available in Japan. http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/16/vaio-z-flagship-laptop-return/ Basically, a...

    Notebook recommendation with similar touchpad functionality to Apple?

    Hi, I'm looking at getting a new laptop, and am wondering if there are other laptops out there that have similar touchpad functionality to Apple's offerings (gestures, swipes, pinches, whatever). Since I've seen plenty of phones that have the pinch/spread and such gestures I figured that...

    The best air coolers that do not obstruct memory slots?

    So, delay after delay in getting my build together and I took the time to watch a video review of a number of heatsinks. I was looking at the Noctua NH-C14 or D14, but both appear to obstruct memory slots if you're using any memory that has a non-standard height. For those of you who: a)...
