    Steam Box Beta

    PS4 and controller without any bundle is $399 - see IGN's PlayStation 4 Price and Bundles As far as I've been able to work out, the PS4 CPU looks to be two quad core AMD Jaguar processors at 1.6GHz tied with something roughly like a Radeon HD 7870, talking to 8GB of GDDR5. To my mind, that...

    I am deleting Winblows

    If it's Photoshop CC, then I've heard ppl have had problems due to a Wine issue. Older versions should generally be fine though.

    Acer 21in All-In-One PC $309

    Although with a 21" monitor at the normal distance you have, you'd not need such a high resolution unless you held it the same distance as a phone away!

    Acer 21in All-In-One PC $309

    Well, Google's Nexus 10 has a display that's 2560×1600 pixels, which is somewhat higher than 1920x1080!

    Acer 21in All-In-One PC $309

    CPU and GPU wise it'll be in the same league as the BlackBerry Playbook (Non 4G), Samsung Galaxy S II, Amazon Kindle Fire. That's because they all use the OMAP 4430...

    Video on demand - which do you currently use?

    Is it worth writing up a comparison Danrok? Especially given the Linux focus or lack of it of a provider! LoveFilm is Amazon UK's instant video arm.

    Steam survey - Linux results

    Alas, the latest Steam survey shows that less than 1% of steam users are using Linux. :( Adding up the various Linux distros leads to a figure of just 0.93%, with almost all distros dropping percentage points.

    Jet engine problem captured on film at Manchester Airport

    Engine failures are not supposed to be dramatic! There's a lot of work to try to ensure even under the worst case situation really bad things don't happen. If you trawl youtube for "Blade off" you can see some of the testing that done on gas turbines. Wonder what event caused the compressor to...

    New console prices compared to old consoles

    In which case, you probably purchased it at over the odds, as my experience with CEX seem to be fairly poor in the pricing for pre-loved stuff.

    New console prices compared to old consoles

    That's one way of recalcuating prices. If you look at it based on the launch cost as a percentage of the average wage, it's a slightly different story in terms of pricing. I've calculated the costs based on the percentage of the average living cost of the launch year, and recalulated based on...

    Epic Citadel (future of gaming)

    One thing that came to mind - are you using the standard firefox that came with your distro, or are you using a nightly build? The nightly builds are less stable, but about twice as fast for Epic Citadel! They can be found at http://nightly.mozilla.org/
