Now that the white iPhone 4 is available, it would stand to reason that we should be seeing genuine white OEM digitizer assemblies, back covers and Home buttons available in various channels fairly soon. The question I have is: Where could I begin looking to acquire these parts and does anyone...

I'd say I know my way around CSS pretty well, but I'm looking to achieve something with this project that I genuinely can't seem to wrap my head around. First, an illustration of what I'm trying to achieve here: The red box on the left will be an h1 element with an anchor element inside...

I'm struggling a bit on this one. I've been trying to come up with a good metaphor for a "categories" icon that is effective at about 20x20 pixels. I had considered using the 'standard' sitemap icon (an example of which is here), but given that this is for a web project, I'd prefer to avoid...

I felt compelled to pick some brains today, so I have two questions: 1) I'd like to be able to turn my display off via a hot corner or keyboard shortcut while the desktop is locked or, alternatively, have the display turn off after a specified amount of time elapses upon locking the desktop...

From No Mutants Allowed: No price listed.

I have a weird one here. For reasons unknown, certain tray icons for applications selected to start with Windows are no longer appearing in the tray despite those applications having started and showing in the processes list (specifically, the Cobian Backup 10 user interface, SugarSync...

This game was a real favorite of mine when I was younger. I recall having to go to three game shops to find a copy when it was first released, but all the work getting my copy was totally worth it. The original works well with DOSBox, but this new re-release was rebuilt to run natively in...

A guy named Gregory Chudov at the Hydrogenaudio forums just released the first version of his CUDA-based FLAC encoder. For the first version, performance is quite good, so this may be of use to some of you with higher-end NVIDIA cards who do a lot of FLAC encoding, but for those with quad cores...

So, Google is failing me pretty hard on this one. Nutshell: I have a wide assortment of unprotected WMV videos. Some HD, some not. Some WMV3, some WMV2, and etc., etc.. What I'm looking to do is convert all of my videos at full res to H.264 with x264, with AAC audio and drop it all in Matroska...

Title says it all. Under a Killing Moon is $9.99. Mean Streets+Martian Memorandum for $5.99. Hot damn I love GOG.

Well, today's the day the gang at CD Projekt (supposedly) started sending out invitations to the Good Old Games open beta. I was no doubt among the first to sign up, and I was really looking forward to getting an invite in my inbox today, but it didn't happen. Apparently these invites are going...

From Shacknews: So, odds are what we're looking at is a Steam-like system for downloadable games. It's not a bad thing to have healthy competition in the marketplace, sure, but the beauty of digital distribution via a Steam-like client (one in which an application is launched that grants...

Currently using Cobian 8 for incremental scheduled backups, but my PC isn't on full time, so I'd like a solution that could monitor specified folders for changes/additions and back up on the fly. I've been looking at some other apps, but none describe this kind of capability (so far as I've...

For those who have purchased an 8800 GTX (or two!) recently, say, within the past four to six weeks, have you received a black PCB/black mounting bracket card, or have you received a green PCB/black bracket card? For those that have received black PCB cards, what card did you buy specifically...

I came across this article earlier this morning regarding a study done on safe listening levels of various players (including what I assume is the third generation iPod). I've known a handful of people that listen to iPods are practically maximum volume in loud environments (airplanes), and it...

I tend to bring my iPod to work with me and plug it into the machine in my office (a Windows PC) so that I can access my music easily (while not dumping a ton of audio files on the machine). The issue is that, when it's plugged in, iPod is happily charging away, and I have no real control over...

So, here it is. Incomplete, and probably chock full of errors (let me know if you find some), but I wanted to get this thing up to give me a little more incentive to wrap it up. Take it for what it’s worth – I’m pretty God damn busy these days. All illustrations are in PNG24 format. If you’re...

Having a bit of trouble understanding what the deal is here. Essentially, the rendering I get with ClearType enabled (this is on XP) in Firefox and IE7 is what's shown on top. The bottom is when font smoothing is reduced to "Standard". The result with "Standard" is well anti-aliased text, and...

Steve Jobs talks about DRM, the iTunes store and the iPod today in a little journal post here. It appears that Apple is pursuing a completely DRM-free model through negotiations with the "big four" record companies. Good news, but I doubt even one of the four will bite. Record companies are...

Pardon me if this isn't quite appropriate for FS/T. I have a slightly used Logitech MOMO Racing wheel and pedal set in the original box, free to anyone interested, so long as they are available to pick it up in downtown Los Angeles in accordance with my time schedule. Not looking for trades...

Up on the cutting block today at bit-tech is the Sondigo Inferno 7.1 sound card, which seems to use the C-Media Oxygen CMI8788 chip, along with four AKM AK3496 DACs, six JRC 4560 op-amps and full ASIO support. Like the HDA X-Plosion, this thing does Dolby Digital Live and DTS Connect encoding...

Unfortunately, due to the garbage that is Nero, I wrote a backup DVD and have since come to discover that it's essentially unusable. There are no physical scratches on the medium, nor are there any other marks that would inhibit perfect reading. However, the disc is basically unreadable, and I...

It seems like it's been so long since we've seen any fresh, innovative products coming out for us hardcore water cooling enthusiasts. Instead of seeing interesting new block designs, for instance, we're merely seeing re-hashes of old designs re-worked to fit new procs, cards, etc. Same old pin...
