Hilarious, or actually sad... The posts for the first article at Tom's explaining the exploit are 90% conspiracy theorists, "Microsoft did it on purpose to kill XP... sell more Win 8.1 copies". And the sky is falling, what a bunch of "wack jobs".

I'd uninstall all those and use core temp. I'd say it's the program most "enthusiasts" use: http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/ I have it setup; so my 4 core temps(i7) are always in my system tray, just left of the time.

When thou? All PC's were at risk last year when that virus was new and the anti-virus companies had no signature for it. But its nasty viruses like cryptolocker that are the reason for a Norton subscription or a well funded competitor(PAID subscription). You need the quick response of a team of...

Soon... ya, hopefully the 290x can be put to rest in the ewaste pile, along with most current GPUs. Have you seen the mining hashrates for the low wattage Maxwell cards? The rates are impressive, to say the least (NVidia must have be pissed over all the lost sales).Really looking forward to the...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132007 Asus products are good. I "caved" and got on the bandwagon. No regrets... & good reviews for that $90 card; ignore the bad ones, unless the poster is a verified owner...

Ya, see if has warranty. And maybe in another year 4K will have moved alone. But if you want something now, treat yourself to a Samsung PLS display: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4JlB01bkEk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sS8fWfEmGE

Laptops are so close now, as all come out of the same district in China. I have an inexpensive Inspiron for traveling. Windows 7 and an i3. If I drop it or it gets stolen, it wouldn't be good... but, I'd simply buy another. A $1,500 ibuypower would be great, but then you really have to worry...

This is huge news! Thanks for the article Tom's. Getting away from RSA for minute, but staying on the subject of encryption... is anyone at Tom's aware of the Truecrypt audit? I think it's goal to examining the code for "backdoor" is important and could use some more publicity(& "digging" by...

What model is the TV? I want to google it and get a image of the back panel. DVI doesn't carry sound, but HDMI does. So the TV might want sound from that input and you plugging in left & right RCA's for sound, might be on a different TV input?

You can get an unlocked S3 for $230. That's inexpensive and with the S5 release not far off; if you can "hold out", the S4 should drop drastically in price soon. http://welectronics.com/gsm/Samsung/SAMSUNG-I8190-GALAXY-S-III-MINI-8GB.HTML ___________________ oops, that price was for the mini You...

The rat race, working poor, ect... take great pride in celebrities, billionaires, ect... having the same phone as "them". Because for once in their pathetic life they have something that is "the best". Since ~10% of the population controls ~90% of the money; for the "good of the world" this...

Having them on HDD in .iso format is the way to go. With the physical disc tucked away in a closet. The only discs you should tolerate this "day in age" are Blu-rays. HDMI to TV. VLC player riddled with errors and crashes??? That's an easy fix, stability is now the norm.

You can't now. You or the manufacturer would have had to install specialized software. If you have the serial number, register it as stolen with you local Police department. It might turn up at a pawn shop or a future location they raid. It really sucks if you have important or "sensitive" data...

I can't even watch the video, currently on a 6 meg connection. lol. I'll have to watch it at home later on, where I have fiber. It's it full 1080p?
