STravisI'm confused (more so than usual). If I remember correctly one did not have to log in to search for torrents...has something changed? Nope nothing has changed. What I don't understand is people talking about employers. Unless you used the same e-mail address to register, and gave your...

I'll keep my Nokia N900, until I see a phone that can X11 forward apps from my Desktop with either OpenGL, or an OpenGL wrapper.

IS THIS A NEW CONSOLE OR NOT!?!?!? My only issue with this damn thing is, with all the other DSes' (whatever) is that they pack all these new features, but they still play the same DS games, except for those handful of games that take advantage of those few new features. Seriously Nintendo...

Just in case someone out there doesn't get it yet, it's a proof of concept. The end product isn't the lamp, it's proving that the algae can power devices. As far as the lamp goes, I have solar lamps in my yard that charge a battery, and when it get's dark, then power on.

randomizerThere's no feedback; nothing tangible. It's one thing to move your hands around and watch a picture change, it's another to build the pottery as you go along. Exactly, it's the same reason the Wii sucks. Without feedback you'd normally get from an object or force resisting your input...

Thunderfox"Coming Soon"...We always her about new developments like this, but nothing large scale ever comes of it. http://xkcd.com/678/

I hope to hell HTC can overlook it's small share in Qualcomm to make a phone that could run some serious graphical applications.

...because they'd prefer to test their skin tight body suites on well-toned women?

60 Ghz is fast but rather useless. Very few applications for this make sense (like the example of streaming to a TV in the same room). At 60 Ghz the wavelength is much shorter, hell people moving around the room could block the signal.

Apparently you've never used a CNC machine then. You'll have to be proficient in CAD, and somewhat computer savy in order to properly use on to create "your dreams". Not to mention most CNC devices are limited to rather small work areas. So the idea of creating a human sized ice sculpture on a...

All of you that are so interested in a 3 way test should really check out Phoronix, since they'll be doing a stack up of Win 7, OSX, and Ubuntu 10.04 soon.

mlopinto2k1This guy gets a plus 1? For what? The last time I suggested Mac vs. PC benchmarks I got slaughtered with reasons why OS comparisons on a hardware site was ridiculous. Trust me, I know why. My point is, DO OPERATING SYSTEM BENCHMARKS TOM'S HARDWARE!!! It's not OS comparisons that are...

Microsoft generally claims Linux infringes on ~600 of their patented technologies. Since Android is based on Linux, I'm not surprised.

http://www.colorwarepc.com/p-206-nintendo-wii.aspx My Wii is green, should I see a doctor?

anamaniacHmm...My brother seems to like to leave a pound of broken chips, cookies and bread on my desk on a weekly basis... Well your "brother" will have to wait for a better product to come along. It's pretty obvious this does little more than basic upkeep.
