This is very true, but unfortunately the current panel they're using on the G-Sync displays is a 6-bit TN panel. So very high refresh rates (it supports up to 144Hz), at the cost of very bad colour reproduction and very narrow viewing angles.

That's what I was wondering. All that 3.5mm->1/4" and no DI boxes or XLR connectors.

I was always a fan of the CX dashboard, with it's nice big "STOP" light in the middle:

The (!) light indicates that you have your handbrake (Parking brake) on. If it's an automatic, you might also have a (P) light, that indicates you're in park.

Unfortunately, the lack of updates for some phones. I've got a Samsung Galaxy Q (Also known as the "Gravity Smart" outside Canadian Telco Rogers), and there is no updated ROM for it, so it's still rocking Gingerbread. And there's no 3rd-party ROM for it either, barring simple re-skins of Gingerbread. It should be the…

The trouble with Cell Shading is that it either looks okay and artistic (Borderlands/Borderlands 2), or particularly crappy (XIII, Wind Waker).

No. I leave mine open all week. All month, even. They're usually triaged using FireFox's excellent "Tab groups" feature, so I've got a "News" group (With Feedly front and centre, and other tabs opening from there), "Entertainment" (With Youtube and Twitch open), "Work" (With whatever sites I'm working on at the time,…

Looks familiar...

They did an experiment with a few X360 games (Shadowrun, Supreme Commander 1, Final Fantasy 11, and Lost Plant 1) that had PC multiplay. The X360 users had to have auto-aiming and all kinds of other helpers enabled to even be able to keep up, and even then the PC players would run circles around them convincingly.

I loved the feature on the original MX revolution - The "Click or freewheel" was controlled electronically, not mechanically. So by default it was toggled by middle-mouse-click, but you could remap it. Or (And this was the fantastic bit) you could set it to disengage the click when you scrolled above a certain speed.…

They do actually use cellular signals internally. They have a sealed system using a GSM or CDMA radio. But that system is on a pre-paid contract with the manufacturer, who pay a small maintenance fee (probably about the same amount as you'd pay for a regular contract) for an extremely reduced service (text only, for…

How are you going to get that data from the unit if the vehicle has been stolen? You need some kind of remote connection to the arduino for it to report the GPS location. Bluetooth is only good for 10m or so, WiFi for 100m or so. A cellular connection (with sim card) is good wherever you have cellphone coverage, which…

Generally speaking, "Fluff with fork" means "take a fork and mix it up a bit, to get air into it and stop it being so compacted.

I'm so much a fan of the British (and possibly rest of the world) way of doing it. Wet goods are measured by volume, Dry goods are measured by WEIGHT! No need to worry about compacting, it's dead easy to measure (The "Tare" button on your scale does all the work for you), less messy cleanup afterwards. Pure, culinary…

Win+R: "Run" dialog. Immensely handy.

Re-starting services doesn't even need a batch file, you can do it from right inside Windows (8)'s Task Manager.

Sorry, but I can't STAND auto-hiding task bars. I've got mine on the right, but no way I'll auto-hide it by default. However, 7 Taskbar Tweaker adds a lot of very useful shortcuts. I have it set so a double-click on the empty taskbar area brings up Task Manager, Middle-click toggles auto-hide, and mousewheel over the…

This isn't necessary at all. If you are having multi-core issues, while the program is running, bring up Task Manager, go into the details tab and right-click on the process, then choose "Set Affinity". This allows you to set which cores the process runs on. And this has worked on all NT-based versions of Windows…

Here in Saskatchewan. A bad day, too, 'cause I can usually hit 21 or so. Still waiting for SaskTel's FTTH offering to come here. Oh, and this is for $80/CDN a month.

Found it. It wasn't on here, but it was on LH's sister site Gizmodo. There they reviewed the "Spike your Juice" kit with Welch's Concord Grape Juice.
