Yeah OK

“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

Microsoft should just not even include desktop in RT. Sack up and make the hard design choices that need to be made. What’s the point of desktop if it only has a Folder Browser, Office, and IE? They could just as easily integrate this into Metro and give users a more consistent experience.

Completely agreed. Steam is savingPC gaming. It’s the one option that can compete with what consoles offer in Xbox Live and PSN.

Also, steamworks DRM and steam are not the same thing, lots of games are distributed on steam without any DRM. Not that I really mind DRM as long it is unobtrusive and consistent. I’ve never had any problem with any of the DRM systems (Starcraft 2, steamworks, etc) that start neckbearded whinefests of epic magnitude every time a new game is released.

I think that’s per month.

I agree with you, I was actually running it at 4.5 with all of the C-states and SpeedStep stable as tested by 24 hours of Prime95 small FFTs. The only problem was that I was getting crashes every time the machine resumed from sleep. I tried tweaking for a few days and eventually just gave up. I’m going to try 4.4ghz and see if it can sleep/resume without trouble pretty soon.

The problem is that I want full power saving functionality, all C-states, EIST, ability to be completely stable resuming from S3 (hibernate is not an option, don’t want to write 32 gb to ssds every time it sleeps). EIST especially makes OC difficult because you have to use a v-core offset instead of a constant voltage if you want to get the benefit out of it.

Yeah, I have 10 fans, 7 are intake: 4 in push/pull for the cpu radiator that run ~2000 rpm, 2 intake onto the video cards, and 1 intake on the front of the case, I bought a big can of air and I dust it once every couple of weeks.

It almost feels like a bait and switch.

My favorite part about these social readers is that they break how linking things on the internet is fundamentally supposed to work. I click on a link for a news article on Yahoo, and I get an app request on facebook, how does that make any sense from a user’s standpoint?

Well, look at the bright side, 1188 people are going to be super relieved they don’t have to do jury duty.

Hah I think we have variations of the same ikea desk.

Windows experience is 7.8, 7.9 for everything but the processor.

I might be wrong but I believe flash is pretty heavily sandboxed on Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. It might be able to hijack the flash plugin thread, but I don’t believe they can do much with it, and it won’t outlive the browser.

Yeah, turn the witcher 2 down to normal and it’s pratically hack and slash. If someone think it’s difficult maybe they shouldn’t be playing by rolling their face across the keyboard.
