    PS4 Slim spotted in the wild?

    There's a guy over on Twitter posting pics of the box and the console itself and will post more pictures and videos soon https://twitter.com/shortmaneighty2/status/767475854414901248 Looks legit to me. I don't really mind the size of my PS4. I wonder if Sony added something extra?

    Earphone mic only working in some smartphones

    So I got this weird issue... I bought a pair of earphones for a friend's daughter called "Zipbuds Fresh" and the mic doesn't work in her phone (some old LG) nor does it work in her mother's OnePlus One. There's just loud static sound coming from it when connected to either phone. So I thought...

    Any GTX970 with rear facing power connectors?

    Hi, I'm looking for a GTX970 for a friend who's upgrading his GPU for The Witcher 3 (he has a HD6850 now, got it to play The Witcher 2). He has an Antec NSK-2480 case, so his cards can't have their power connectors facing up (they won't fit, the case won't close). He has a Core i5-750...

    GTX670 - sound over HDMI disappears when screen goes dark

    Hey, Ï was hoping someone can help me out with an issue I'm having. I have a HDTV as my only PC screen (a 40" Samsung). My PS4 is also connected to it. So what I did is I connected my external speakers to the TV via 3.5mm jack. This way both my PC and my PS4 can use the speakers (really...

    http://store.steampowered.com/app/245280/ I sooo wanted to play this game. Played the demo on my Xbox but I just couldn't stomach buying it without playing in full graphical glory.

    Windows 8/8.1 - extremely slow internet

    I know this sounds a bit lame... but I am out of ideas what to do... Just to start, I'm using an ethernet cable plugged into the ISP modem directly. So, last year I bit on the cheap upgrade to Windows 8 for my desktop (I had a Win7 HP retail license). Did an upgrade and ever since everything...

    HTC One Max announced

    http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/14/htc-launches-one-max/ I stopped reading at Snapdragon 600. Epic fail... And I have a HTC One, in case people are wondering. No Snapdragon 800 disqualifies this phone completely. Seriously HTC, WHAT THE HELL? Also, no OIS.... this thing won't sell, at all.

    [Microsoft] Steve Ballmer to retire in the next 12 months

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/press/2013/aug13/08-23StatementPR.aspx Wow, I did not expect this to be honest. Though MS didn't really take the mobile market by storm... could it be because of that? I wonder who will become the new CEO? An outsider?

    Droid Razr Maxx HD - any chance for a review at AT?

    http://allthingsd.com/20121122/motorola-takes-smartphone-battery-life-to-the-max/ That looks like one awesome phone! Especially the battery - it would probably last me 4-5 days (my iPhone 4S lasts max 2 days). I'd really like to see an in-depth review at AT :)

    iPhone 4S / iPad 2 / AppleTV + Personal Hotspot

    So... since my iPad2 3G doesn't have the Personal Hotspot functionality I can't connect it to an AppleTV directly to use AirPlay for times where there's no WiFi around (like my grandpa's place). However my iPhone 4S does have this. So both my iPad and AppleTV (which I would buy if it works)...

    Origin - game added by itself

    Hi folks, Did this happen to anyone else? I bought Need for Speed Hot Pursuit a long time ago on Steam (sometime last year I guess? I'm quite sure it's even way back in 2010), played it for a bit after that and never came back to the game. I recently bought Crysis 2 on Origin, just to see how...

    iOS5 and WiFi sync

    So how will that work? Will an iDevice on the same WiFi network be detected in iTunes and then everything else will work as if it's plugged via the cable? That would be quite awesome, as stuff like USB Disk would be extremely useful! Right now, when I plug in my iPhone, I can copy stuff over...

    Good RAID5 hardware card?

    Hello, Looking for a good PCI-e RAID card that supports RAID5. Not for me. The person does lots of rendering and is currently using the chipset software-based one (P45). Her data is very important, so I advised a hardware-based RAID solution (she's getting some start-up errors and is afraid to...

    OS reinstalled - how to sync my iPhone?

    Hi peeps, Tried googling but couldn't get a clear answer (or maybe my google-fu sucks today). Anyway... My OS died a few days ago (nasty rootkit that also modified one of the core files - BSODs on startup, same in safe mode blablabla). Long story short, had to wipe my OS and run a fresh...

    2.0 speaker set - Logitech Z520 vs Creative Gigaworks T20

    Which ones are better? The Logitech ones are a bit pricier (+25%). I read a lot of positive reviews and comments on the Gigaworks T20. Nothing much on the Z520 and I couldn't find any direct comparisons. I don't need a subwoofer. Thanks! Creative -...

    Over two times more "gaming PCs" sold in 2009 than all consoles combined

    http://www.game-newswire.com/index.php/the-news/232.html First paragraph: Anything with a dedicated graphics card is defined here as a gaming PC though. But hey, a HD4350 can play plenty of stuff at low resolutions and low details. So it's not really that much of an overestimation. The...

    Quoting quotes...

    I think topic says it all. How do I quote quotes in this new forum? The old one was putting everything from the old message (and I could select what I wanted to leave), the new one only quotes what the creator of the quoted post wrote. It kinda kills the thought flow. Hopefully I won't have to...
