Alright, so in all the steps of buying and building our first house I got very excited that I could do ethernet ports in every room, which I of course did (really was a surprisingly cheap option, under $200 w/CAT6 cabling). Have the OnQ box in the laundry room which is upstairs with an outlet...

Has anyone here who has had an OLED TV for 1+yrs noticed any kind of image retention/burn-in related to score boxes, tickers, and channel logos yet? I'm planning on finally upgrading to a 4K TV when we move into our house next year and have narrowed it down to the 65" Sony X90J or A80J (LCD and...

I just have no words for this.

So I fucked myself over adjusting the TV tonight and knocked my external drive off the stand in the process. It was turned on, but was off when I picked it up, and shuts itself off after trying to power up for about 30 seconds, maybe less, presumably to keep the drive heads from impacting the...

I'm working on a portfolio website for my photography and was wondering if anyone has recommendations on web hosts? I don't think I'll need a giant amount of bandwidth or storage space, despite hosting a fair amount of hi-res images, and I'm on a pretty tight budget (i.e. trying to keep it under...

I couldn't think of another existing thread to put this, but if there's a fit, mods feel free to move it there. Be forewarned that you may be tempted to throw your computer halfway across the room at points of the article. While there are some bits and pieces of truth and half-truths in the...

Remember the nut who wanted to build the Titanic II? He's at it again! This time, he's trying to get the scientists that cloned Dolly to work with dino DNA... Hey, all you need is a lysine contingency and knowledge of the Chaos Theory and you're good to go, right?

Ummmm...how the hell does one end up with a name like Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop!? I'll take a wild guess that he was either really high, or his parents liked jazz. :lol:

Since no one else has chimed in on the pure awesomeness of a new camera and some equally awesome imaging tech, I guess I will. If any of you are familiar with light field imaging, then you know some of the ridiculous advances and innovations that are theoretically possible. Someone managed to...

http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_19088531 Ok, which one of our Cali members made the brownies? :slappy:

I am taking part in an event for a great charity, Give Kids the World, next Sunday, and I thought I would make the community aware of it (with the blessing of Clarity, many thanks!). The event is called Coasting For Kids, and is quite possibly the most fun fundraiser you could ever participate...

:slappy: So, are you a folder or a wadder/scruncher?

Man tries to join the Mile High Club, solo style. :slappy: :slappy: If trying to satisfy yourself 30,000 feet in the air is wrong...

Boise State Gets Slapped with "Lack of Institutional Control" Truck Driver U gets slapped by the NCAA in multiple sports, including football, with "lack of institutional control." :slappy: Read the awesomeness! When this popped up on SportsCenter, I busted up laughing and figured you...

So I'm pretty sure the HDD in my MacBook Pro is about to give up the ghost. It seems like the source of some nasty sounds and vibrations today. I'm all backed up (both Time Machine and manually), so I'm not too worried about data loss at the moment. I do, however need to figure out possible...

...you know you're doing something right! Keep it up Buckeyes! :osu: *Feel free to move/delete if this is superfluous, but I realized, living in Indiana, when Purdue fans hate you more than IU, it means we're that good.

I've been using Skype to video chat with my girlfriend since I've been back in Indiana (this long distance thing sucks, btw), and have noticed that smcfancontrol will typically read about 70C when using my iSight, which is "normal" from what I've observed with both Yahoo and iChat. However, the...

My girlfriend just showed this to me, and I immediately came here to see if anyone had posted about it, but evidently no one has, so I'll take care of it. YouTube - Quarterback Scores Cheeky Touchdown;The Driscoll Middle School Here's the accompanying article the video is from. So...

My LaCie 320GB external has finally reached a point of no return, which means I'm looking for a new external drive. My preferences are at least 1TB of storage (I'll settle for 500-750GB if I have to), and a network connectable (i.e. ethernet connection) drive. Having a MacBook Pro, the obvious...

Hey guys, I know there are a couple people around here that are a little more knowledgeable about such things than I am, and I also just want a couple of opinions. I am looking to upgrade from my 19" Sanyo SD TV (that I won my junior year of HS at after-prom lol) to something a little nicer with...
