    ASUS Transformer to Top All Non-iPad Tablet Shipments in June

    You just made me wonder what happens if I plug the docking charge cable in, then the USB cable on the other end back into a USB port on the dock.. Cannot kill the battery! :D That said, my transformer is everything I wanted.. It's perfect for me. During the day it's at work, docked...

    Great fun! Book marking for work tomorrow :D 50,013 on my first go, Level 62.. or as it says: You might have the co-ordination of a rhinocerous, but you have the reaction time of a ninja. It's a good balance overall. Done. :p

    This also looks great as a custom CSS for HardOCP :D I'm using this, altho might want to put the image somewhere else (and use the right size for your desktop).. body { background-image: url(http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/3950/hardocp4.jpg) !important; background-repeat: no-repeat...

    Opera Notches 100 Million Mobile Users

    Love it! Use it all the time on my N900, and the fact that it neatly syncs with Opera 11 on my desktop is another bonus. It really is a good and fast Standards Compatible browser.. now if we could just get all the web sites to meet web standards too :-)

    THQ: Games Cost Too Much

    IN with Australia. Stopped in the local EB Games store on the weekend - Call of Duty: Black Ops - $118 I'd be surprised if there were a person playing it here who HADN'T imported it.

    2nd Tier Makers Unlikely To Ship Fermi Cards Until April

    Gigabyte EX58-Extreme Sneak Peek

    Whoa! Too much thermal grease on the northbridge block there. Cover the whole area sure, but it should still be transparent through to the metal, not the solid white paste thick. You can even see it squeezed off the edge when the block is put back in place..

    The Risk of Waiting for Windows 7

    I think a lot of people may be in my situation. PC Hardware slightly too old to comfortably run Vista, but other than that no reason to swap away from XP. When I buy my Nehalem early next year I see no problem running Vista at the same time :) nb: by slightly too old I mean Athlon 64 X2...

    Why the MMORPG Subscription-Based Model is Broken

    Isn't this some what ironic? Being NCSoft is the publisher of Guild Wars, which gained a lot of it's notoriety from being a subscription-free 'MMOG', surely he could have found a position for the same company which targeted the kind of development he is interested in? Hmmm me thinks...

    Comcast Considering 250GB Cap, Disconnecting Pirates

    So buy two accounts and have 500GB instead. Need more? Use all that disposable income of yours and buy more. Or perhaps, I don't know.. use all those guns lying around to shoot your neighbours to steal their internet connection.

    Comcast Considering 250GB Cap, Disconnecting Pirates

    STOP all the absolute bitching and whining. AARGH, the totally unbelievable ignorant US masses scare me. It breaks my mind that the majority of you complain about 250 GB limits. I am just STUNNED... Welcome to the REST-OF-THE-WORLD! Here in Australia, I have it good. ~$65.00 USD per...

    Windows XP SP3

    Hah! Rant::Begin And I just want to first say, I don't blame HardOCP in any way for this as it was really my own fault for not noticing the Pre-Release notice first, nor backing up lately. I downloaded the first link [H] posted. Only later did I find out it was the beta. It was the...

    Forbes Names NVIDIA “Company Of The Year”

    "In a PC industry racked by deflation, Nvidia has managed to increase its gross margin from 29% in 2004 to a current 46%." Doesn't this mean we-the-consumer are paying more for our products than we should be? 17% of $4 billion seems a lot higher than what fabrication and operation costs...
