    I have 3 invites to the Google Glass Explorer program. Anyone interested?

    Unfortunately not, my development is covered under my company's NDA at the moment. Hopefully soon, though! :) For what it's worth, Google does have a 30-day return policy. Not that'd I'd advocate such a thing, of course. ;)

    Looking for a custom cable.. *FLAT* 30-Pin M to F

    Has anyone ever come across a 30-pin M to F iPod Dock extension cable that is FLAT? I can find flat 30-pin M to USB all day -- but never an extension cable. I have a very narrow gap I need to fit the cable through, and a round one just won't fit..

    Just ordered a M17x R4 w/ 7970M... WideFHD 1080p 60Hz vs 120Hz.

    That was my thoughts, I guess I just wanted to know I wasn't alone. ;) I hate being relegated to playing on a laptop, but since the baby and with my wife's family always over I never have the chance to play on my gaming rig in the living room -- so, locked in the bedroom with a laptop after...

    Just ordered a M17x R4 w/ 7970M... WideFHD 1080p 60Hz vs 120Hz.

    So I just placed my order for a M17x R4 with the 7970M. I opted for the WideFHD 1920x1080 @ 60Hz over the 3D Package @ 120Hz. Other than the 3D (which, honestly, I couldn't care any less about), is there really any reason I should've gotten the 120Hz?

    Google TV

    Important facts: Plex for GoogleTV supports 1080p playback. The ATV does not. Also, the Sony GTV supports DTS passthru via Plex (the Revue does not). If running XBMC or Plex on a HTPC is not an option, for the price, the GoogleTV cannot be beat. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk

    CPU Overvoltage Error. New build, all stock. Ugh..

    Nope, no bent pins. And no, I didn't drop a screwdriver. :P Yea, I'm betting it's a bunk sensor. I imagine the CPU would've gone up in flames by now.. the temperature was fluctuating between 28C and 29C while in the BIOS. I've since pulled the board and I'm awaiting an RMA from NCIX --...

    CPU Overvoltage Error. New build, all stock. Ugh..

    No effect. I've set the CPU Vcore to 1.25, it still increases well past. CPU Vcore PLL is set to 1.70. A part of me isn't completely convinced that the voltage actually is increasing.. if it was, wouldn't the CPU Temperature be affected? Or hell, wouldn't the system crash -- being fed 2.040V?

ASUS P8Z68-V Pro Intel 2600k Corsair AX850 Corsair 8GB DDR3 (2x4GB) MSI N580GTX Lightning Noctua NH-C14 Slapped all the parts together, booted into the UEFI bios and noticed that my Vcore began creeping up to 2.040V.

    Screen Protectors - Iphone4

    I love my Zagg. I had one on my 3G, and now I have one on my iPhone 4. Hell, I bought it before I even bought the phone (thanks to a 50% coupon). Does it add a tactile feel to the phone? Yes. But, honestly, that's one of the reasons I like it -- to keep the damn phone from slipping out of my...

    Red Alert 3 for Mac Mini

    While overall I would agree, it plays fine on my 2.4/8600M MBP. I bought from Direct2Drive simply because I was determined to play a game in OS X. :D

    Does anyone know if you can still find new, old MBPs (non-unibodies) anywhere?

    A friend of mine just bought a pre-Unibody 17" MBP from MacMall less than a week ago. BNIB.

    Best tire shine?

    I'm gonna have to throw Zaino Bros into the mix here with their Z-16 Perfect Tire Gloss. I've been using it for years on half-a-dozen different tire brands, and I wouldn't use anything else. It leaves the tire clean with the perfect amount of gloss, doesn't leave a sticky residue where things...

    Linux distro for a Mac Mini?

    Of course, but the GUI reduces the dependency on console and allows you to slide on poor console knowledge. I've always been of firm belief that if you want Linux and X11, you need to learn how to install (or even compile; hello Slackware!) X11 via console first. It will make you a more...

    Linux distro for a Mac Mini?

    If you want to "dive into Linux a lot more", then forego a window manager, install Debian, and learn console. Ubuntu is just pretty-Debian. You can always add (apt-get install) a window manager later if you desire.

    if you would wipe one file format off the face of the earth forever, what would it be?

    Uh, XML is worthless? Really? I'm curious, what would you rather have in place of XML? I hope you don't use RSS feeds..

    if you would wipe one file format off the face of the earth forever, what would it be?

    Mac Mousing

    That's a rather general assumption, isn't it? Some of us prefer a quicker mouse response. It's not that we "want it like Windows", it's just that the mouse tracking on Mac OS is completely different than that of just about every other OS available.. I never had to find software for mouse...

    Yea, Synergy is a godsend. I've been using it daily for the past few years. To simplify your life on OS X, check out QSynergy -- it's a great GUI that simplifies things ten-fold. It also has Win32 and Linux binaries.

    IPOD Touch

    When it comes to breaking DVD encryption, the only serious option is AnyDVD (not free). It's second to none. Once decrypted, run it through Handbrake on the iPod (or Universal) preset and you're good to go.

    How much are 2010 Camaros in your area (assuming you checked)?

    Time will tell. We'll see once the owners get them to the track. Assuming the very worst, the 2010 Camaro is a high-12 second car in need of some tune unlocking. Much like the C6.. Motor Trend, unfortunately, hasn't proven very reliable in the world of F-body 1/4 times. IIRC, they were...

    How much are 2010 Camaros in your area (assuming you checked)?

    We'll see about that. The '98-'02 LS1 f-body has more-than-once pulled a 13.0 in bone stock form (GMHTP proved this). I fail to see how a car with 100+ more HP (possibly RWHTP if GM continues it's previous track record) will pull the same times. The '10 Camaro has the makings of a low...

    List some movies you've watched recently. Theatre, rental, TV...

    X-Men Origins: Wolverine - 5/10: Honestly, I could take or leave it. I enjoyed the previous X-Men trilogy more than this. It felt rushed and didn't really keep my interest for the duration of the movie. The acting was fine, I just didn't really enjoy the (not-so-true-to-the-comic) story...
