I tried for the longest time to not run Ad blocking, then one day last year, I was trying to read a great article on Tom's, An Ad poped up, I moved my mouse to it to close it, then moved the mouse off the screen to continue reading, it passed yet another Ad, this time I carefully moved my mouse...

I learned a long time ago, to never buy games at release. Last time I did that was a week long gaming session playing multiplayer Heroes of Might and Magic III. IV came out, took the day off, ran to Best Buy, Friend and I bought a copy and went over to my friends LAN party, both installed the...

Windows Defender came out on Vista, and for Vista it wasn't very good, since Vista wasn't very good. They changed the name to Security Essentials on Windows 7, although 7 shipped with a copy of Vista's defender installed as well, and in MS infinite wisdom changed it back to Windows Defender on...

@battler624, I am aware MKV and MP4 are containers, that is why I wrote MKV can hold it all. MP4 just like MKV has different streams, video, audio, subtitles. My complaint was the author making out MKV as some evil container. And having to shell out more money on combersome converter is not...

The Author of this article needs less condescending, arrogate, biased words and this would be a descent article. First lets discus the popup ad riddle file sharing sties shall we(one should learn to download correctly). I start off with TomsHardware site, I click on an article to open in a new...

This is actually new tech guys, the Homeplug alliance have made great strides in increasing the speed and reliability of using house wire for networking. What Trendnet just did was add wireless access capabilities as well. DVR manufactures actually have Homeplug built into the DVR's now, so...

@beayn Alot of photoshoptv.com and lots of shooting. I am no way close to a professional, just spend my spare time playing around. Google is your friend in finding tutorials and tips/tricks.

The Dynamic range on that photo shoot is a little to low. The highlights are blown out, floodlighting didn't help that, ruining the tonal range of the skin. The floodlights were needed to help compensate the small CMOS sensor. Forget that its 3mp camera, its the size of the sensor and quality...

That is not an X-ray of a Barbie doll. it is simple the negative color saturation. If you pull the image into any simple image editor and map the negative colors, it will return it to the original color. X-ray can not determine color of an object inside of something, yet if you negative the...

Droid user here, my battery easily last all day, 13 hours later and it is still at 50-60 percent battery. Best thing to do is long click one of the three screens and add the power widget. This alone will help you turn off wifi when not needed, turn the brightness to 50 percent, turn GPS off...
