    The end for a smartphone pioneer

    Google is set to acquire HTC's manufacturing and R&D arms. This has been a slow and painful death for HTC in the past 5yrs and it's sad as a long time smartphone user, to see the final chapter closing down on HTC. They'll still maintain the "brand" itself (to market things like the Vive VR)...

    Got a Blackberry Classic (2015) for work...simply..

    a POS of an OS. The device is fine, but my God, bb10, just not intuitive at all. Now I see why they abandoned it for android. Even the simple lockscreen notification can't even show multiple events/messages...at least that's the conclusion I've come to after looking through the settings for...

    Chevy Spark EV

    Thinking of getting one for my 20mi roundtrip commute and saving the RS5 for the weekend duties, anyone here own one or have any experience with them? I know they share similar parts with the Volt so that's a good track record to have (was also considering the Fiat 500e but too many...

    I have to get this off my chest...

    I HATE HATE HATE people who use their wipers while driving during sunny days. Last minute lane cutters, non-signalers, left lane slow drivers, etc i can tolerate, but it's just asinine to be using your wipers when the sun's out. :mad: If you know your windshield is dirty, clean it BEFORE...

    Finally, Samsung has resolved the idiocy of their screen sizing

    No more will you find 5.1, 5.2, 5.5, 5.7in of the same generation of phones. If this GSMarena article is true, Samsung's upcoming S7 will come in 5.1, 5.5 and 6inch screen, making it easier to distinguish between the sizes which only mean they'll be named something along teh line of Compact...

    BIGG phones and people who love them

    Anyone has a +6in phone here? Which one do you have? Which one are you planning on getting? I currently have the huawei mate7 and anticipating the mate8 max or even the xperia z6 ultra (rumor) if sony pull their heads out of their asses and give it a bigger battery than the awful Z Ultra.

    Lotus Evora 400

    the interwebz are especially quiet about this car with only about a handful of UK reviews and not much else in terms of YT vids. Thinking of trading in my RS5 for this when it hits our shore sometime spring of next year...anyone a fan of lotus? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGUZH13X5nA...

    canon speedlite...impossible to take sunset picture

    Hey guys, I've been a long time 6D user and recently last week my gf surprised me with a speedlite II (that she had purchased awhile ago) because she wants me to take more sunset pictures.

    Huawei Ascend Mate 7

    Anyone here gotten over the stigma of having a chinese phone and fancies a high-end flagship with aluminum body, slim bezel, 4100mah battery and a 6in screen? Been waiting for a formidable upgrade to my note 2 (need a big screen to vpn into work computer) and decided to pull the trigger on this...

    I don't know whether I should post this in the WC for noobie or create a new thread. So mod please move to where ever you see fits. Rig info is in sig. Anywho, I have some spare time on the side and want to do something new for my computer. I'm thinking of ditching HSF for something more...

    pros/cons of running in asynchronous mode?

    I have a Q6600 @ 3ghz atm and running a 5:6 ratio (around 840mhz?). What's the pros and cons of running at this ratio in terms of performance, power usage, and durability for the ram, mobo, and CPU? Since it's not 1:1, how will it affects my CPU? Thanks!

    how to limit bandwidth?

    I have a 5mbps line and I want to delegate 768kbps amongst 2 computers, leaving the rest to me. I have a DI-604 hub and I don't think it has the function of limiting bandwidth through IP/MAC address, so what software out there can I use that will allow me to do that? Thanks.

    TIM "break in" period

    How long does it take (in hrs?) for most TIMs to reach their optimal thermal conductivity level? I know it varies from metal based, to silicon based, etc, but on average, how long does it take for my temp to drop to their normal operating level? Charts would help greatly!:thumbsup:
