    Moto X is here (was hype is underway)

    Thanks y'all! I think I'm going to go with the Moto X. It looks like an update won't be available till late summer and I could use the new unit now.

    Moto X is here (was hype is underway)

    Thanks. I do like the shape/size of the Moto X more and that Active Display looks pretty nifty. I'm a pretty basic user. I use my iPhone for texting, email, occasional surfing, looking up passwords on 1Password, Yelp searches, and navigation using google maps. Since i live in SoCal, I'll be...

    Moto X is here (was hype is underway)

    Thanks for your response. In your opinion, would you say a case is necessary for the n5? Friends who own it tell me it's on the fragile side.

    Moto X is here (was hype is underway)

    Hey guys, I'd like some advice. I'm in the market for a new phone and I'd like to know what I should get. I've been using an iPhone 4 (hand-me-down) for the past 3 months and prior to that, I was using an iPhone 3GS for 4.5 years. I'm not into frequent upgrades so I'd like to get a unit that...

    Most powerful GPU that makes sense in an old Core 2 Duo

    I'm not really sure if this is optimal, but I've got a 6870 paired with my Q6600. It works very well and was an improvement over the 8800gt i had in there originally.

    Day Z: ARMA mod... with zombies.

    I can see that. I'm definitely not knocking it as everyone has their own preferences. The sandbox nature of the game as well as the sense of tension seems very appealing but I'm the type that's easily discouraged by douchebags. I'm going to pay close attention to the progression of this game...

    Day Z: ARMA mod... with zombies.

    I'm not sure if you're being serious, but I feel inclined to agree with this. I haven't played the game yet but it seems like it's set up for griefing. Without a story-based narrative, there doesn't seem to be much to do in the game but survive against both the environment and other players...

    The not-so-perpetual Android HP Touchpad Thread (CM9 Alpha 2 comes with candy!)

    Can you guys help a noob out? I'm running a build from about a month ago and I'd like to flash to this last version. How do I do so without losing all my settings, apps, and app data?

    How do you like your 5850? I'm thinking about upgrading from my 8800GT 512MB but I think I'm going to hold off on pulling the trigger till I see how it handles the actual game. <BR><BR><BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div...

    Thread about new ATI 5870/5850 Video Cards and Nvidia Fermi (Q1 2010)

    Has anyone else upgraded to the 5850? If so, what's the lowdown? I'm thinking about upgrading from an 8800GT 512MB that's a part of a Win 7, Q6600, 4GB DDR2 800 system. It seems like it would be more future-proof than a 1GB 4870 (which can be had for about $150) and the built-in HDMI port with...

    I thought these vendor and edition exclusives were bad enough.

    the only difference between the Impulse and Steam DDE is that the Steam has an exclusive item, The Wicked Oath, while the Impulse version has no such exclusive. Other than that, they're identical.<BR><BR><BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div...
