    Need a recommendation for earphones/buds.

    http://www.amazon.com/Koss-The...&qid=1200687944&sr=8-3 $12 Only bad thing is they are a bit bulky looking, but the sound quality is extremely good for the price. If you get a good ear seal the bass is pretty extraordinary.

    Assassin's Creed Live Action Trailer

    Personally the DivX format is far superior for portraying quality video than most of the crap that spews from there. Being a fellow techy I'm actually quite shocked you pointed that out.

    7900 GS windows media problem

    I just got a new 7900 GS (thanks woot.com!) Everything went smoothly until i ran a movie in WMP. The colors of the video are extremely dark. It's almost as if the gamma is turned real low. Video works fine in Quicktime, VideoLan, etc. Is this a nvidia problem or WMP problem?
