I can understand from a moral/business perspective that drastic changes should be avoided in new releases but how is that an abuse of monopolistic power? Would you call Ubuntu's decision to suddenly switch all the window controls

Or how do you get more people to download Chrome? Break the #1 search engine in IE. It could go both ways you know...

Try their main site http://prediction.io/ . It has videos and other write ups. Its still not thorough, guess you might have to install and play around with it to get a better understanding.

Here is a great read about V-Sync and how it tries to fix the disparities in refresh rates: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=928593 Contrast it with what G-Sync is trying to achieve.

Not sure if it has changed but when I was using XP, chrome and firefox were still using the SSL and TLS stacks from the OS, which meant no support for SNI. Most webpages would fail to connect at this point. Also BSOD once a month was common

Gotcha. I can relate. It took me a long time to move to Windows 7. Moved because my laptop gave up and I had to get a new one which came pre-installed with win 7. There was no point in downgrading it to XP. I admit to feeling uneasy about t

Although I feel everyone should have upgraded from XP by now, this a ingenious way for Google to increase chrome's market share. Being the only supported browser after XP EOLs will definitely catch the attention of the corporate world.

haha I was thinking the same when I noticed it. Has anyone here used BleachBit? From the description it looks like ccleaner + eraser mix.

What? Why would you give them your private key in the first place? You only need to sent in your public key to have it signed. The only two scenarios I can imagine is if they had generated both the public and private key for you or if they

I don't think it is possible for a company as large as Google to completely avoid using Windows products. As an example, here is the video of the tour of Google's Data Center and around the 1:08 mark, you can clearly see them usin

Interesting. Great for people completely submerged into Google's ecosystem but still clinging onto the Windows OS. For others especially who uses one or few of Google's products, this sucks. When I got my Surface Pro tablet, I jus

I totally agree with you. The touch cover is useless. I haven't got a chance to try the type cover yet, but I assume it to much tolerable than the touch cover. The only complaint, it doesn't come in colors :(

That is not a good comparison. That is like asking someone, why do they need a smart phone when they can get a regular phone + a netbook for half the price. Believe it or not there is a niche market for Tablet+PC forms. It was one of the ma
