    Will next generation Mac mini drop VGA support?

    The current generation Mac mini still supports VGA. I have a VGA projector that I'd like to use along with it, but was thinking of waiting for the next iteration (Skylake?) instead of buying one right now. Knowing Apple is quick to ditch legacy standards, I guess that the next generation Mac...

    Are there proven and reliable WIRELESS solutions for HDMI and USB connections?

    Hello, I'm asking hypothetically here. There are many products out there that promise a wireless connection between an HDMI output device and its respective input device, over 30 feet or so. Same goes for a wireless USB connection between a USB device and a computer, over the same distance...

    Anybody happens to be running a Philips Acoustic Edge sound card?

    Hi, Philips had dropped support for its line of sound cards a long time ago; The latest and obviously last driver iteration (V1.89) works flawlessly under Windows XP. Is Windows 7 and/or Vista able to recognize the card properly without being supplied with Philips' driver? If not, is...

    I would be glad if you could help me with a strange problem. Ever since I formatted my computer, I have been unable to use the "Dual Head" feature of my video card properly (an old GF 6600GT); When I play a video and scale it to full screen, the picture ratio is kept on the the monitor (a 4:3...

    Hell Ride soundtrack

    Watched this movie a few days back. It's a good movie considering all the crap that Hollywood is prone to produce, but what really shines through is the soundtrack - it's "sewed" to the events taking place on the screen and succeeds in generating an appropriate atmosphere, in my opinion. Can...

    Can a pulsating PSU damage my hardware?

    Hi all.. I have the same power supply and motherboard as this guy, only difference is mine pulsates all the time, while the intervals between each pulse grow bigger. I checked the inside and all the fans are operating while the PSU is pulsating (CPU fan, chipset fan, chassis fan, PSU fan)...

    My CRT monitor is dying...

    Yesterday it refused to power up (made a weird "electrical" sound from the back over and over again) but today it seems to be fine; I realize it is signaling me something and that it is time to replace it. I have narrowed my options down to two: Dell 2007 20.1" - either the regular flat...

    Hello there, I got Windows XP SP2 installed and it has been ongoing for months now that everytime I reboot Scandisk is offering to scan a certain partition. It never finds anything wrong and I'd like to cancel that process as it increases OS loading time by a large margin. How do I do...

    Is this Renault's latest attempt at marketing the new Clio?

    Nice, isn't it? I wonder what are Renault's plans for the North American market. My guess is that they will become a failure within a few years, if they do decide to go back. I mean wtf, my friend's brand new Clio broke down after 2 years of service; When he had it taken for a repair, they...
