No one. We're talking about phones. Now ask who wants a phone with that resolution.

... nope. That's up from a maximum of 800x480, the resolution my six year old HTC6100 had.

I was rather more surprised to learn that Windows Mobile 8 is going to be upgraded to allow a maximum screen resolution of 1024x600.

I think there will be a never-ending comparison to Apple that Microsoft can't possibly win since it's not a sufficiently religious experience, no matter how powerful or capable the devices are.

Windows 7 once told me that a machine with a Vertex 3 on a 6Gpbs SATA port only scored a 5.9 on the experience index. I re-ran the tests a couple times and on the third run it jumped up to 7.8. I really don't think the Experience Index measures anything meaningful.

I not feeling a subjective difference between my Samsung 830 and the X25M I pulled for it. But having four times the capacity is still quite nice. Makes my VMs load up nice and quick.

I don't like the precedent, really. But it's not like I print all that much, either. A ($45) 1500 sheet cartridge will probably last me a few years. At which time it will probably be cheaper to buy yet another printer. In contrast, HP wants $80 for a new, 2500 sheet black toner cartridge.

It was cheaper for me to buy a brand new Samsung color laser printer today than it was to get the four toner cartridges my HP1600 needs.

Not as such.

I made it to the Indiana Dunes National Lake Shore last weekend. For the first time. Kind of weird since I've worked less than a quarter mile from one of the main public beaches for the past seven years or so. Anyway, it was also devoid of pirates.

My weeks of waiting for RMAs to even be acknowledged certainly suggests that to be the case.

As a well known hardware/tech site owner, Anand clearly has access to and relationships with OEMs that the rest of us can only dream of. I have no idea if he takes direct advertising or not, but given the fact that vendors bend over backwards to offer him pre-release products and special units...

I suspect he's been bought and paid for a few times by different OEMs, much like Tom of Tom's Hardware. With a little help from a friend and a planned stop at Microcenter, I'm going to be able to build two i3-2100 systems with 120GB SSDs for a total of $704 this week. How sweet is that?

All your drunken sexcapades. Duh.

My biggest problem with Samsung devices is with Touchwiz. I don't really mind the goofy connector. At least it's easy to identify from the mass of other weird charging tips I have.

It's worth pointing out that RIM had already stated that it wants to simplify its manufacturing and logistics chain. Though, with a billion dollars in inventory on hand, it sounds like it could simplify way, way more. Did anyone else catch this little tidbit on the Galaxy SIII? AES encrypted...

Might be more that he wishes he hadn't.

I walked a mile because I ate a handful of them.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox just now, to no great effect. Haven't done a profile yet.

I spoke too soon. I'm still having issues on this desktop, albeit they seem to happen in a more narrow set of circumstances.

A scanning electron microscope can resolve images down to .2nm. I suspect that pissing off the wrong first world power could lead to a demonstration of just what the state of the art in data recovery really is. I pretty much figure that at the point that the drive has been purposefully...

These are a very good reason to walk an extra mile this evening. Either that or they were put on this Earth to torment me. One of those.

I'm really liking the sudden, amazing price drops on 120GB SSDs. In the last week or so, I've found Kingston, Verbatim and Corsair units at or a little under $1/GB, which is cheap enough that I can realistically contemplate using one in a mainstream build. In a year I'm sure I'll look back at...

I guess it could have been. Video Downloadhelper is an addon I keep installed, though it was also one of the first ones I disabled when I ran into issues.

Everyone who uses Verizon knows that they're paying extra for the assrape and that Verizon is neither gentle nor considerate about it.

Could be that there was some sort of weird edge-case bug that didn't show up in regular testing. I couldn't work out exactly which add-on was causing the problem, but I use so many of them that systematically testing all of them would have been a couple days' worth of work. Stuff happens. At...

My normal method of data destruction involves a high place and some concrete, or a hammer. Throw the actual tape in a paper shredder if you're worried about that.

I suggest buying drives and putting them in enclosures yourself so that you don't wind up with retarded drives.

"Speed walking" seems to make a pretty big difference in terms what I'm able to eat and maintain my weight.

Since I got the latest Firefox update this morning, the problem went away. So that's awesome.

I just bought a Samsung 830. Like 15 minutes ago. I'll have it Wednesday. I'm looking forward to getting it.

The TEW-690 and TEW-638 are both just fine. I believe they have a 600Mbit version now as well.

It's not just content creation. It's "viewing content that doesn't come from or is not well supported by Apple" that's problematic.

I hate, psychotically HATE the term "wifi" and the people who decided that should be a thing should be thrown in the same deep hole lined with razor blades as Western Digital. Anyway, yeah, get an Access Point. I like TrendNet. They're inexpensive and they tend to release incrementally faster...

I listen to something that is always 58.5 minutes long and I know how far I walk in that time.

I usually manage around 7.5km/hour and I'm sure you're in better shape than I am. Of course, a brisk walk is fine but don't ask me to actually jog.

Yes. The overwhelming horribleness of ATI drivers on my work PC has undoubtedly infected my T420, which has absolutely no ATI hardware at all but both Intel and nVidia, and is exhibiting the same set of symptoms.

You might want to make a disclaimer regarding broken devices on your support page, Chewy. I've certainly seen that a few times in the past. Coug, why were you walking so slowly? Were you in an urban setting with lots of cross-traffic or something?

One of the machines is my Thinkpad, which has Intel and nVidia drivers. My work desktop has ATI drivers. So... I'm thinking not?

Looks like uninstalling Flash fixes the crap out of it. But that can't be the general solution. Unfortunately, having disabled all the add-ons held in common by the two impacted machines didn't fix the problem and getting rid of flash did, so I guess I'll run like this until something-or-other...

45 open tabs, 277MB RAM used. That's pretty good. And it reloads all tabs super, super fast on my machines. Like under 10 seconds for all of them combined. But on at least two of my machines Firefox 13 is now super, ridiculously crashy. I'm sure it's a javascript issue. Gawker sites cause it...

That's a bit of a double standard. More pixels are better for photos, text-rich web pages and most electronic document formats, even if they're not being used for video.

Apparently they glue in the battery too, on top of requiring almost complete disassembly of the notebook with security screws to get at it. The end result is something that's almost completely non-serviceable.

1920x1200 is still a pretty big step up from the currently-typical 1280x800 for large-format Android devices.

I suspect that they're leveraging the logistics chain they've built on the back of the ipad parts supply to beat everyone else about the scrotum with a product that Apple and Apple alone can sell for a ridiculous markup. No one else can get away with the same shit now that Apple is the closest...

Oh, and apparently the new MBPs have all their RAM soldered in. How is this thing anything but an insult to everyone other than Apple shareholders?

Apparently Acer has released a 10" Tablet with a 1920x1200 display. It still says Acer on it, but I'd say that represents a sign of a real response to the ipad 3.

I think properly there's a distinction between (the) Schism and (a) schism in this usage but as I said it's really asking a lot to go looking at specifics; only one of the faithful is really going to be able to relate to whether some tiny matters of faith are important enough to create another...

As I've said before, MBPs are "supposed" to fall into the same broad category as what I typically think of as "business class" products from other manufacturers. They have support offerings that are similar-ish to Dell and Lenovo business products, demand premium pricing and at one time they...

I still have to manage access to networks and to data. Usually that means setting up Parallels or VMware Fusion for one thing or other. And then that's a hassle to manage. As far as I know there's no good tool for administering VMs that are on individual workstations. Which is a different reason...
