I am in the very early stages of making the app you see below. Does anyone with some graphic design skills interested in making me a app icon?

Any of you guys with predictive text, auto correct or voice to text on your phone will appreciate this. Kiki just linked me to this site a few minutes ago. Clicky

Well, if you're looking for the best of the best in video cards, AMD just dropped the price of it's flagship by $300. This card is on par with the NVIDIA 690 and Titan, but is now $300 cheaper. Still expensive at $700, but newegg has a PowerColor Brand listed for 589.99 after rebate. Oh, and you get 8 free games with the purchase: Crysis 3/ Bioshock Infinite/ Tomb Raider/ FarCry3/ Deus Ex: Human Revolution/ Hitman: Absolution/ Sleeping Dogs/ FarCry3: Blood Dragon TechSpot Article

This looks pretty cool. Though it would need game support it would be sweet to have a motion control option for PC. <BR><BR> http://www.razerzone.com/motionsensing/<BR><BR> Video of Portal 2 using the Controller:<BR><BR> <object id="flashObj" width="480" height="270" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0"><param name="movie" value="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&isUI=1" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="flashVars" value="videoId=739683690001&player…

So, this is an interesting video to watch. Shows some real world load times between a high end SSD, a relatively cheap one, and a NAS Disk Drive. Pretty clear you don't want to use a mechanical drive anymore for loading windows or playing games from. http://www.techspot.com/news/67222-storage-real-world-performance-nvme-vs-sata-vs-hdd.html

Looove loooove loooooooooooooovvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeee my new phone!! Traded up from my old cracked Galaxy S3 which I've had forever and it's such a huge night and day difference. The screen is friggin' killer!

So I broke down and upgraded my phone. I got a hot deal on amazon wireless for this at only $99 bucks. They are still doing it by the way. The phone itself is one of the best I have seen overall that is out currently. I know next week something better will be out but oh well haha. I left my iphone behind for an android device. My 3gs was getting old. You just can't beat the specs on this phone even compared to the iphone 4gs. Not only that I like the flexibility I get with android. I help people setup email on there phones at work and am used to both interfaces. Can't wait till it arrives. wireless.amazon.com

So, I'm tired of my A40s . They are a decent headset, but they seem to have developed a crackle. It's not really a blown speaker, but something I can't place. Plus they just aren't up to the sound quality that my HD595s were, and I miss them. So, before they disappear I went ahead and ordered the PC360 from Sennheiser to replace them. They are suppose to have the same cans as my 595s and a very similar fit. I am getting them Thursday, and I'll put them to the test then. Pricey, but so were the A40s and they never lived up to my expectations. The mixamp is fantastic, and I'll continue to use it with the PC360s. http://en-us.sennheiser.com/gamer-headset-hifi-soun…

Several companies seem to be taking a chance at releasing smart watches within the next 2 years. Concept seems pretty cool. http://qz.com/101058/smart-watch-explosion/ Now I'm just sitting here waiting to see if when Google will move on this. I would love an android powered smartwatch. Could just go for a Pebble smart watch but may be fun to see how this "new market" may drive out in the near future. http://getpebble.com/

Here's a listing on Amazon. Although i found it locally brand new in the box and I got it for $550. Still have my 32" Samsung and it still has a warranty i just wanted something alittle bigger, oh well now i have a 32" computer monitor. Here's my review I posted on ebay since that's where i found it.

Decided to post this here since i suppose it's a "gadget" of some sort? I REALLY hope that this isn't real. LOL I can't imagine it is, but jesus this is stupid!!!!

So I need some suggestions for a sound card. I bought Astro A30's and would like to use those (this is the big driving force behind it), so it needs Dolby Digital Live. I was looking at the HT Omega Striker 7.1, but that one seems to be either out of stock or discontinued. Also, since my uses are pretty limited, I would like to keep it under $100. As far as I can see, my options are as follows: Asus Xonar DX Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D Wait for the Sound Blaster Z series in December Anybody have any experience with the cards above, or have other suggestions? The one question I have on the Recon3D (other than general sound quality) is if it does auto-mute so when y…

my zune got stolen along with some other stuff recently, and i couldn't afford a new one. i don't buy used electronics off strangers, so i anticipated cancelling my zune account and just using my droid for music. well, turns out spawn offerred me one at a more than reasonable price. i've known him since we were knee high to a midget's *** or whatever, so i knew it'd be in good shape. i thought it was brand farking new when i opened it. i like to keep original packaging, but damn. i couldn't have asked for a cleaner device. sweet.

http://www.oculusvr.com/blog/oculus-joins-facebook/ Uuuugggggghhhhh...... Fuck Facebook. This is terrible.

Is this a big no-no or something? I read conflicting reports online about stuff, but I can clearly find some Apps for it in the Market (Like PDANet and EasyTether, both which cost about $9.99) Apparently I can use my Droid (unlimited data plan) as an internet service provider. The programs claim you can even use it to use your 360 or PS3 wirelessly with the connection. Any truths to this? Would I get in trouble with Verizon for using it in this way? What could they possibly do even to stop me?

Not necessarily a product review from myself, but I wanted to say that this thing is seriously AWESOME. Very well made, looks pretty great and super sturdy with an absolute TON of space to put things in and hold stuff! http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/aaa5/ I picked one of these up because they were half off last week, and it is so worth it. Fits my laptop perfectly with plenty of space to spare. Even can lug around my PS4, two controllers, cables, and a bunch of games with extra room also. If you're looking for a pretty great messenger bag, even just something to pack stuff to travel with, I would recommend this highly. Two panda thumbs up.

This thing looks awesome. Wish Kinect worked this good.

Ok. So I'm posting this in Gadgets because I suppose, well, it's a gadget?
