    Wii U Storage Questions...

    Well, we made the decision to pick up a Basic Wii U the other day (Deluxes, of course, were long gone). Overall, it seems a nifty device and we've been enjoying it. The inevitable question, however, is storage. On PC, I always prefer to buy games via Steam and love having them available "Through...

    Money's getting tight for contract - where to go?

    Well, long-short is that we signed up for our first smartphones under AT&T's wings back in February and then I decided to go to college and leave a good-paying job behind in hopes of an even better future. We're locked into a contract and have a WP7 Samsung Focus S and a Samsung GSII which we...

    SOLVED - Belkin N600 & Motorola SB6121 - Still slow...?

    The short-and-sweet is that we recently moved and had to switch service providers. Previously we had a Motorola SB901 that worked flawlessly with Charter's service and provided a guaranteed 23Mbps on a 12Mbps subscription. Unfortunately, our router/modem combo didn't work with our new provider...

    So... Crucial M4 SSD just died - flat out dead...?

    Two days ago I installed the latest Ubuntu and wiped my Win 8 Beta install. As is par for the course, not everything worked flawlessly with Ubuntu and I decided it was time to wipe that and go back to Win 7 64-bit. My install disc doesn't have SP1, so I scoured the internet for a quick SP1 .iso...

    Motorola SBG901 Connection Problems... Help?

    This has been bugging me for half-a-year now and I really don't have a clue what it is. Every time I restart my computer or come back from sleep mode the Internet connects straight away and I'm able to get online almost instantly - and then, just as soon as the second page is about to load, it...

    e-Readers as a long term library solution?

    I've been in-and-out of e-readers since the first Kindle, but there's a problem: I spend a lot of my time reading academic-type historical works such as The Republic, The Iliad, The Prince and other things such things. I've often found that navigating back-and-forth to find a specific quote or...

    Help me understand my new Motorola Xoom?

    Well, I saw Walmart had these on clearance and decided to snag one up. I know this sort of thing has been done to death, but I've got one thing keeping me from making it my primary computing device. Namely, I want to be able to print to my Deskjet 1000 a few times a year. I'm still a little...

    HomePlug/Powerline?

    Well, I've ran a WiFi connection in my house for a number of years now without many problems, but the occasional issues and the overall WiFi congestion that's taken up in my neighborhood has me thinking more and more about setting up a wired network within my home. Problem is, I really hate that...

    Aspire 7741G-6426 - Should I Remove the Battery?

    Question is fairly simple. I use my laptop mostly as a desktop replacement. I've always been in the practice of removing the battery from the laptop to maintain the longevity. When I purchased this new laptop, however, the specifics indicate Acer has built in some sort of system to cutoff...

    Portable Word Processor?

    Well, I'm honestly surprised a quick Google search doesn't turn up the answer to my question. I'm looking for something pocket-sized with a physical QWERTY keyboard for taking notes or writing when away from my laptop. Netbooks are too large; I've had an iPad and a Galaxy Tab but found onscreen...

The only thing my phone doesn't do is allow me to take quick notes (say up to a few hundred characters or even more). In fact, the built in...

    Looking for a CD-Ripper that works as simply as iTunes

    Well, I'm a Linux guy, so let's say I'm looking for something like Sound Juicer. I would like something that (like iTunes) will automatically rip once a CD's inserted, eject once done, automatically create folders per artist and album, and can support two drives at once. Again, these are all...

    Best Third Party VGA Cooler?

    Well, it seems that since I received my 9600GT I can no longer leave the side panel on my case without things getting hot enough to cause errors. I'm wondering which cooler is worth the money? I would really rather stick with a single-slot solution, but there don't seem to be many. If I had to...

    SLi With Earthwatts EA500D?

    Well, I picked up an Earthwatts not long ago as I thought 80+ might be a good deal, but now I'm struck with the temptation to find a second 9600GT (I just got World in Conflict, you see). I'm wondering if the EA500D could even handle two GPU's in SLI? I don't care to take any risk and I also...

    [SOLVED] EVGA 8800GT won't overclock... at all...

    Well, I'm stumped... Admittedly, the little 8800GT is the card that could, but I would like to try my hand at pushing it harder. Now, I've heard the temperature limit is about 115C on the 8800GT, and maybe I should leave it alone for that reason as I'm already hitting 78C while running Crysis...

    Need some advice...

    Well, I just got my 8800GT in the mail the other day and it's made it very clear to me that the old TForce 550 and AMD X2 3600+ simply are not able to keep up with this thing. Basically, I can change any setting in Crysis without seeing any change in frame rate, which leads me to believe the...
