    Anand Retires!!

    Going to miss him, but grateful the site can live on and happy that he's moving to new things. The travel schedule he and the staff had sounded brutal and ever worsening so hopefully his quality of life improves with the transition.

    Questions about switching iPhone carrier software

    Thanks for that. I don't see it. I'm going to try factory resetting it as I should have assumed to do from the start, hopefully that'll do it. Thanks to you both for helping though.

    Hello, I have an AT&T iPhone. It's definitely AT&T and doesn't work on Verizon but the person I bought it from made the Carrier software say Verizon 15.5 (under Settings/General/About). How do I switch this to AT&T? Will putting an AT&T SIM correct this and allow it to work? Thanks. I'm an...

    Ensuring High Quality Image

    Thanks everyone. I did figure out that the Intel iGPU is the one controlling HDMI, not my NVidia Card, and confirmed it's outputting at 1080P. I did change the Frequency to 60Hz from 59Hz. Also on my TV (Sharp LC32GP2U), I can't seem to find a setting on the TV that confirms it's matching pixel...

    Ensuring High Quality Image

    I'm considering building an HTPC as connecting my PC laptop(1080p screen with Nvidia GT425M) to my TV via HDMI results in a grainy image, while my PS3 shows a crystal clear image when connected via HDMI. I don't understand why the quality is so much worse coming from my PC. Can anybody help...

    Would any manager(of at least 5 yrs) here answer a few questions I have for a class?

    They aren't specific to business practices, it's more on how you generally handle different management situations. For example here's one: Do you consciously think about how you motivate your employees or do you intuitively try and motivate? What would you improve about your own leadership and...

The article mentions how this OCZ Vertex has a SLC chip that has 100,000 write-erase cycles. Anyways...
