I'm rather skeptical as Windows 7 and 8 still don't scale everything properly, mainly due to 3rd party developers using old frameworks or not hopping on scaling support bandwagon. Even Chrome still doesn't seem to scale its UI properly in Windows.

Just the fact that they rest on top of your earlobes instead of surrounding them makes them crap to me.

Address bar, always.

Somehow I can't help but feel that iTunes is so popular because there are no viable alternatives for OSX.

Got a Panasonic ST50 plasma recently. Compared to my previous Sony LCD, it has much better image quality, it's thinner and looks better (as a physical object). Low input lag is good for gaming too. Haven't had a single problem with image retention either.

After reading a better description of the feature, I think it could be good for providing more feedback. For example I have set middleclick to three fingers + click on my Magic Trackpad and sometimes this doesn't register because it hasn't registered all fingers or something. Having an indicator light would help.

Which brings to question, why was the asshole of connectors, USB, designed to only go in one way? It has a measly 4 pins so having them on both sides of the connector shouldn't have been a big deal.

For gaming, pick any good mechanical keyboard.

I've been messing with the 3rd gen and 2nd gen iPads here at work and while I like the 3rd gen, the iPad 2 is just a much better weight. Both are too large IMO - not really comfortable to hold with one hand. So the iPad Mini would be a much better fit for me as long as it has something resembling a retina screen,…

Seems like a good deal, if it comes with the hardware scaler that the older 27 and 30 inch Dells have. It makes a big difference in image quality when used at lower resolutions. Where GPU scaling was blurry, the hardware scaler on my Dell 3008WFP had much sharper picture quality, to the point that I don't mind playing…

Win+P (multiple monitor options) is probably my favorite. It was highly useful when I was still using multiple monitors and wanted to play a game using my secondary monitor (HDTV). Pretty much all games default to the primary monitor, so to get them to the second one you can use Win+P to set the secondary monitor as…

Somewhat pointless IMO. Apple devices inform you about low battery way before it is actually depleted. I think I got about a week of use from a trackpad that said low battery.

The Core Audio system is nicer than ASIO for recording. Just less hassle, not much latency benefit.

If the manufacturer has a forum, read it. You will find all the stuff that reviews and specs don't tell you.

Hated this one. Most of the characters are whiny assholes and the "this is obviously a camera" shots for every scene is just to mask that the plot is shit.

While the panels may come from the same sources, that's where the similarities end.

Logitech M500 at the moment.

"Look at Microsoft and Windows 8, with its split screen design: Users can assign a quarter of the screen to another app. It's a brilliant way to implement full screen apps—which I still think are the perfect way to interact with devices nowadays"

That doesn't help one bit. The port can be vertical, horizontal, upside down, downside up. Adding a small symbol to determine the side doesn't help because often you insert the connector without looking at the port or seeing it because your hand is in the way.

I think the headphone socket moving to the bottom is a more interesting development. It makes sense to me to have all the ports on the same end. It also makes it easier to handle the phone when you have it in your pocket with headphones connected. As it is, you have to have it upside down with headphones connected,…
