Just finished having lunch with our company's "high and mighty" (and I work for a BIG car company) and all the directors are discussing what the e-tags look like since no-one has bought one... so far in our company that is about 30 people standing up against extortion

Xbox one no longer needs always online...

Also featured on Gizmodo... seems that (for now) we might be able to look forward to buying it... and after connecting the Kinect, put a box over the stupid thing

Some fun comments for the pre-orders for XBox One:

I know this is a bit of an old thread, but to anyone who experienced internet problems last week... this is who to blame: Divers caught cutting internet cable March 28 2013 at 12:28am Cairo - Egypt's coastguard caught three divers cutting through an undersea Internet cable on Wednesday, the army sai...

Wow, I love the way the enclosure looks... and that will definitely help if I run out of physical space to put the hard drives in the PC box. And there is the added bonus of not having to worry about license reset problems :D Thank you guys. I will look at both options, as well as the corresponding ...

There is definitely an e-SATA on the motherboard.

I have got an Asus P7P550 with 6 SATA 3's (if I am reading correctly) (info here). It seems that I might have some PCI slots available when having a quick look at my device manager.

So, excuse my noobness here (hardware is my weak point), you just chuck this card onto the motherboard and it expands the number of slots that is available to connect hard drives to?

I have this problem that I seem to be collecting hard drives - the 3.5" type. There is currently 3 in the box, possibly soon to be joined by a fourth. I had 2 initially, but then my one external hard drive had a power failure, so I moved it to the box. It seems now that my other external hard d...

Brilliant!!!

It's a Nimbus 2000 S (Sport)!!!

How about doing something like this:...

Not really that difficult. You can even 'shop' through Calibre for both free and paid books. It's got a built in browser that you use to search for books all the various online sellers - and I can keep track of which books I've read or want to read. EDIT: Except Kalahari's ebook store - which is a r...

I'm not sure - I hardly notice it as I use the Kindle (blasphemous I know!) Reader app on both my phone, pc and tablet, since I can sync all my bookmarks, etc. And to read DRM free books (from gutenberg.org among others) on the Kindle app, I use Calibre to convert files to Mobi. I use SugarSync to s...

That's a good question - maybe look on the site if they have a policy regarding copyright?
I've got a few rss feeds with all the books that pop up on Amazon and Nook, marked down to $0.00 - my favourite bargain - 100% discount.

Thanks guys... Had a wonderful birthday - and my hubby's curry counteracted that cold front totally

Try using the Add-on Compatibility Reporter (here). It's more for beta testers. It disables FF for checking if the add-on is compatible with the new version.
Downside, if it's not compatible, you find out the hard way when it just refuses to work the way it is meant to.

Thanks guys! Planning on making this another great birthday, despite the winter chill (hopefully the candles on make cake will keep every one warm)

That is just so adorable!

Played the demo (with a controller so I can't comment on the controls) but I have to agree with you on the customisation and inventory. I lost interest about half an hour in. Hopefully it'll change in the full version, otherwise this is one game that I'm going to skip

HI GUys Please help, I cannot log onto xbox live. IT says I need to install the latest update to continue to register for xbox live. The problem is the download does not complete, it comes up with an error status code. But when you do a XBL test it completes with no errors. I have the gold membersh...

Those photos are amazing!

Okay, just found this site in one of my weekly mailers Shockedfish , where you can compare game prices and make sure that Steam's specials are really really special. It does a price comparison between various gaming sites for games. So if you missed a special on Steam, you can always check to see if...
