on low powered machines, like atom with nvidia ion, you take a performance hit upgrading to win7, a noticeable one. For our customers, the OS doesn't matter, how it performs does. If it was running Linux, it wouldn't matter. I know there are other benefits, but overall win7 requires more resources. Also isn't windows…

It doesn't help that if you want to install xp on a machine, and can't spring for bulk xp licenses, you have to buy a win7 license and downgrade. We have to do this at work for specialized sff computers we sell. It's a giant pain in the ass too. So ms is getting license numbers, even if people aren't upgrading to…

Could that be because instead of recording to frames, it's actually outputting a video. Most video formats have size limitations, in their pixel size. I work with a lot of big format video walls, and you just can't encode a video at native resolution. You have to slice it up, and sync in together in realtime. As far…

I'll agree with you on that, I was more speaking to how you can have something plugged in, bump the cable or say thumb drive, and it kind of moves, it's as if the port is on a pivot inside of the connector. Not sure if that's just some give in the connector itself, or something specific to apple's ports on their…

Teh sex.

You gotta love people who want it all, and want it all to work just the way THEY want it to work. Here's the deal... I can tether my phone now. I didn't have to jailbreak, just installed the app, and now I can jailbreak, no tethering my phone to re-jailbreak my phone when the battery dies, none of this, oh no I can't…

Vimeo has had a 5x5 kind of vignette concept for some time. I found it pretty difficult actually, and it's a good exercise in constraining a creative vision. BTW, 5x5 = 5 clips 5 seconds each.

Entirely and very "easily" possible as shown by this video. If all this "matrix" is doing is mapping it in a similar way to normal led matrix, I don't see why it's not possible.

My in-laws still pay for dialup, even though they now have cable internet. Yes, they connect to the internet through aol (at least my father in-law does). My father in-law, who is not even 50, has all of his favorites in aol, and can't understand that bookmarks are the same thing, even though I went through all the…

yah you're right nobody does any work on macs, they just "fuck around"... give me a break. You anti-apple fanboi's will keep saying this shit, and posting comments on the internet and being productive as hell.

The alternatives to what??? Go run a hackintosh!? Yah okay....

did your building actually not have a 13th floor, or was it like being john malkovich? ;)

This is precisely what my car has... not a bmw though. It's fairly simple, but still pretty awesome. It's amazing what a reflection on some glass can do. I find my self using it way more to regulate my speed than my speedo on my dash, namely because it tells me my exact speed. Mine also flips up the name of the song…

To some extent a simplified speedo/tach and basic info (stereo info/bluetooth caller, etc.) is available on quite a few cars now. Namely BMW and some chevy's afaik, but there are probably more that I don't know about.

This would be a great addition to my decorations... which are very haunted mansion + nightmare before christmas inspired, which if you've ever been to disneyland during september-december you'll understand why.

Yah except it doesn't suck a giant donkey dick, but that's just my opinion.

I tried to use ted for torrents of tv shows I like to watch, and it just didn't work. I could easily google for the torrent I was looking for but it just always barked that it couldn't find an episode to download.

I'm sorry but... DiX... did they not think that was kind of a bad icon for their software? Or was that intentional? I couldn't not say something, I'm 10 right now, switching back to almost 30 year old in 3,2,1... I feel better.

Lots of hate for her, while I agree she didn't accomplish much at Yahoo, except perhaps to try and stop the hemorrhaging, which to be honest was probably necessary, but what they needed to be doing was pushing innovation for products they weren't losing staff on or killing altogether (flickr for example). I've seen…

Bullshit weed doesn't cause cancer, there is more tar when smoking weed then there is in cigarettes. Not to say cigs are better, but don't be delusional. My friend, a huge proponent of weed and a pothead posted some bullshit study about how weed doesn't cause cancer, that article mentioned that they injected rats with…
