Anandtech 330 review. http://www.anandtech.com/show/5817/the-intel-ssd-330-review-60gb-120gb-180gb

Just started an outlook.com email address. I'm curious how bad the spam situation is. My hotmail address is about useless because of spam, so bad I had to set it to exclusive to keep out 30+ a day.

Walking around some tremendous datacenters I rarely see the brand supermicro. Zero personal experience but I am thinking there are other reasons why they go with what they do. They liked the management interface on this, have a standing supplier contract with that etc. That support angle is...

Yes but that is the new trend of video game DRM. They can't figure out how to secure the software so they make you check in with a third-party.

You think so? I don't see this happening. I think something like diablo 3 is gong to be the same no matter what store you get it through.

Exactly why in my opinion a chat client has to handle every IM protocol out there. Exactly, we were using AIM before IT dictatorship determined that we must use OCS. It's not even the latest version of linc communicator, it's the old office communicator.

God I hate office communicator. IT locked it down so I can't block anyone, we can't send URLs to people and certainly can't send files god forbid. Being a work from home person my boss of course wants us to run it all the time and every single message people spam across the whole group forces a...

I guess the advantage with soft buttons is their function can change with context, the disadvantage would be it takes up screen real estate.

Looking at pictures of that phone it seems like they have dedicated hardware buttons for menu but no button for the task switcher, how do you trigger that on the s3?

I can't believe how badly flash is messed up, across multiple platforms even. On the mac I use click to flash and things are so much better, only enable it for the specific thing I need to see and thats it. I just had a class with a new monitoring product my company is putting out and there is...

You draw him a picture to understand the situation?

So according to them there are a small number of Simplenote clients out there for android and I even found one not on their list, what's the best? Simplenote Downloads On my iPhone I just went with their client because it's simple and works slick. I tried GlanceNote and I don't really like it...

When there will be a II what? The screen on the replacement phone is much better, no defects I can see. The backup/restore features built in failed to do anything at all near as I can tell. It didn't download my apps and when I went and got the apps I had bought and downloaded previously from...

I'm sure they aren't lowering the price after mentioning all those "removed" things? As a rental all you get at that price per year it still isn't that bad. Keep us posted on the grandfathered thing though. Had to see some of that coming...

You paid up with the fire department?

I have an advance replacement arriving tomorrow. It took another 52 minutes on the phone to get through to them and they in turn passed me through to Samsung. They could have mentioned on the website that I could call them direct, but no they didn't. Based on others feedback I think I have a...

Now officially pissed off at Google. Spent a total of 50 minutes so far today on hold across three calls in to the play store 1-855-83-NEXUS (63987) to process an RMA and they couldn’t be bothered to answer the phone. There is also no provision on the play store website to start an RMA which...

Yeah my fried is in the middle of several home improvements and is affirming my belief in my condo.

Geez, I have started paying attention to food nutrition lately and it certainly isn't easy. Before this I was simply managing the quantity I eat and controlling any overeating.

Time, your thoughts sum up my experience pretty well. Today with a couple hours of podcast listening and some minimal use on the desk it is down to 65% battery at only 1245. I looked and quickly found not one but two bigger battery options on amazon so I am not concerned but it won't be so nice...

Some thoughts after moving to a Galaxy Nexus from an iPhone 4S over the weekend. Hardware The screen on my galaxy nexus has some notable problems. The worst is that it has a blue tint near the top, the guys on android forum were trying to tell me that it is a ghosting of the menu but it does...

In england the WC may not actually contain a water closet.

are they putting in the tower or are you paying for that?

I found this, it worked pretty well but any error messages tended to be so detailed that they were useless. I found some corrupt contacts that have been in my copy of Outlook for about forever, and I even found one that was corrupt on the exchange server. After I fixed the contacts it works just...

Did we discuss somewhere how to keep Outlook contacts synchronized with Google contacts?

All my it gear is on UPS. They seem quite tolerant of any voltage or frequency slew, if you read the power bricks they come wih they have a very wide input range, most only needing a different plus to switch to euro 220v/50hz. Heck, some of it even runs for a second after unplugging it.

They are back for sale on play now, I ordered one. Then Amex declined my charge, first time that happened in five years with this card. I updated it on play but still days charge declined, maybe i have to delete and readd the card?

I'll back that up.

Comcast stopped the bandwidth penalty recently and is trying a new 300gb cap out, but not enforcing it yet. If you are under that or even the old 250gb cap I'd call to get it fixed. I'm thinking about upgrading my cable modem, it's an older docsys 2 model and the speed grade I have is right...

I'll be damned, the four of us never found that and we were seemingly always telling someone to change their mic gain. I can say the lag for teamspeak is about half what vent was for us and they say the codec in use eats less bandwidth. I think there are several codecs availible as well as data...

Teamspeak is far superior to ventrilo, much more configurable and just as free. Similar server/client software model too. The big plus is you can individually adjusts people's volumes so you don't end up telling them to adjust their microphone level. I use push to talk, I generally don't like...

In softRAID doesn't the hardware see the drives this individual disks anyway? I would have thought that would work.

I remember reading entire battletech books and series of books centuries ago.

Thanks so much! Been using this thing for something like six years and I never knew that. Appears T is top and U has something to do with unread messages. Don't know why it doesn't just go to the top of the mailbox when you open it like everything else does. I did know about the R for reply and...

I have been trolling eBay and as usual the people on there don't realize the phone sells for $350 in the play store and the auctions have been ending well over that and the buy it nows are in the $400-800 range. Also it appears that injunction had some teeth and the phone is now listed as coming...

Well It got a mention on Boing Boing at least. http://www.extremetech.com/computing/132142-ciscos-cloud-vision-mandatory-monetized-and-killed-at-their-discretion

Seems like the galaxy Nexis phones are starting to show up on eBay in quantity, should be fairly easy to pick one up for under 300 I think. More than a few are mentioning jellybean already installed.

RIM CEO Thorsten Heins says there is 'nothing wrong' with the*company http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/3/3135514/rim-ceo-thorsten-heins-says-nothing-wrong-with-company Really if they don't see something wrong at this point...

Nice resume. http://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the-worlds-first-and-only-completely-honest-resume-of-a-graphic-designer

What’s next for RIM? http://www.mondaynote.com/2012/07/01/what’s-next-for-rim/

http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2012/07/02/upgrade-to-windows-8-pro-for-39-99.aspx Should be much cheaper to upgrade, I wonder if they are worried about adoption rates?

One thing that's been annoying me forever about this phone is every time I go into email the scroll position is exactly where I left it so if I left it three days ago I have to scroll up through three days worth of email. There is no quick scroll to top unless I am completely missing something...

I still think it's a good idea to skip the Linksys and D-Link products. http://m.hardocp.com/news/2012/06/30/linksys_firmware_upgrade_for_wifi_routers_angers_users/

Seeing this pop up on twitter a lot tonight “What's odd is that you can now install Chome on 95%+ of iPhones, but only 4% of Android phones.”

What the hell are you all talking about in here.

Hmm, I didn't realize they had a choice in the matter.

I don't get this, can anyone understand our "data retention" policy? Email that doesn't require followup, delete after 30 days old and email that did require ack or followup is delete after 1 year. That's what they are telling us to do, I have no idea what they are doing on the back end, if they...

I can see them killing all hardware devices and making a nice little business with secure communications. Unfortunately this would really require work with all the manufacturers to make a truly trusted platform that is secure. So on the one hand they suck at the hardware and many software OS...

For the bluetooth/sync complaint above I was using my iPhone. Maybe I am the only one that doesn't get it but I simply could not get tomtom gps audio to come out the stereo along with instacast playing in the background. Neither apps came out the stereo. Seemed like only the music app came out...
