    Take-Two Predicts that THQ Won't Be Around in 6 Months

    Laptop docks for consumer Windows laptops?

    What he said, and the only ones that do support docks you need to make sure when you buy them, even if you dont buy it with one at the time. Otherwise, you are limited to USB external (sit near the laptop) and they plug into the laptop USB ports. Not as good as traditional docks.

    Considering this refurbished laptop please help

    Xoticpc?

    That is essentially as good as it gets for building your own laptops, something barely heard of in the last couple of years. I would say that is on the lower end of the MSI 1761 pricing, so looks good to me. Just note that many of the lower end cpu's listed there are listed as backorder of...

    The Best Time to Get a Deal on iPad 3? 6 Months From Now

    Seriously, people would wait 6 months to save a couple of bucks? What is the point on a niche device like this? I might understand if you had another tablet, but waiting 6 months to buy a product you know you want is kind of stupid. (not saying I would buy one either though) By the time you...

    Rumor: Next Xbox Will Have ARM CPU, Windows 9 Core

    molo9000Having several separate cores for AI, physics, etc. only makes development and porting between platforms more difficult.Keep it simple! Although, if it is in fact based on the Windows 8 core, which is supposed to support ARM, this may make it easier to port from Console to PC. Not that...
