Reply to HDTV prototype is also a Windows 7 PC - All 70” of it! in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

A PC inside a huge TV... this reminds me a lot of something I saw way back on a show called The Next Step. Voice activated, could read motion, I think you could also paint on it, it looked like a blast. I think it was on the same episode where they were showing a prototype of something called Wildfire, that let you press a button, say a name, and the phone it was attached to would dial the number associated with that name. I'm actually surprised stuff like this isn't more comm

Hmm, you've made a convincing argument in favor of Pale Moon, I'll give it a go, at least as a secondary browser, for the time being.

Reply to Opera 11.51 Final Out - Meh in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

That's bizarre. Nothing like that has happened to me with Opera. Sometimes when a tab is out of focus it will, in tile or cascade mode, it'll display display a part of the page I already scrolled past, mixed with the part I'm at, making the page a jumble of stuff, and I need to click the tab to remind it where it was, but nothing like that. Same image, same Opera: &nb

Yes, so was I, until they took down Sony Station, and rendered every SOE published MMO unplayable for a month. Missed out on a lot of pirating on the burning sea because of that incident. I hope they also plugged the holes in Sony Station while they were at it.

Reply to Deus Ex: Human Revolution - First Review in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

The Montreal portion of the game disappointed me a bit. At some point, you'll have to leave the tower, and the game directs you to descend to a certain level, in order to exit the building. My first instinct was the exact opposite, going to the roof, and getting ready to take a nosedive into the pavement, and hoping that the Icarus upgrade would prevent me from turning into a fine red mist on impact. I couldn't do that sadly. The game has a reason for that, since you still have some s

Reply to Opera 11.51 Final Out - Meh in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

I'm not letting it go. Damned be the internet and it's "You're browser is not supported" propaganda! Unless of course, there's some other browser out there that supports hotkeys like tab cycling wit the 1-2 keys, or forward-back with control+direction, or the ability to select anything in a web page just by pressing the Tab key a few times.

Reply to Deus Ex: Human Revolution - First Review in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

@OMG_Jongalt26 The quicksave key is F5, it'll alway save in the same file, just like the first game did. So far the game hasn't failed to live up to my expectations. The only gripes I have with it would be the absence of melee weapons, although, that only serves to increase the difficulty. I haven't found any way to recharge energy, other than protein bars and those big jars, no more maintenance bots to do the job. This also increases the difficulty of the game by a lot.</

The adaptive LCD keyboard looks very nice. I remember looking up a similar one a while a go and fainting when I saw it's price. Speaking of keyboards, this may sound odd. But can anyone point me to a method by which I can remap the volume dial on my keyboard to work as a seek function in Adobe Premiere? So far the only thing I've been able to remap are the pointless internet buttons.

Right then, new episode just finished. Firstly the [spoiler] introduction of the character Mel, out of nowhere, seemed a bit forced, even more so when it was revealed to be [spoiler]River Song, before she knew who she was. Although, the way they ditched here regenerative powers early on makes the rest of her appearances as the same person easier to understand. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this all plays out, I just hope they don't pull another plot convenience, no

Reply to Deus Ex: Human Revolution - First Review in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I agree, even thought it's a review copy, the flaws that may potentially end up in the final game should be mentioned. Strange thing, no one's asked me so far to overlook flaws in the review code, although, the only people who send me review copies ahead of time are the folks at Paradox Interactive, they actually like feedback. Being in Europe, I'll have to wait till the 26th for Deus Ex 3, well, probably even more since this months budget was redistrib

Reply to Thinking about upgrading your PC for Battlefield 3? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I for one will not be upgrading for Battlefield 3, mostly because a new Windows isn't cheap, that's the only thing that would actually need upgrading, but that would imply retooling my software, and that'll take ages. I still wish they would pull a Crytek and make DX10 features magically work under Windows XP. My guess is that I'll play it near the end of next year, when I plan to switch to a new editing rig. I'm going hexa core(probably a zambezi or the komodo if

Gamescom was packed this year, literately, they closed the doors today because the building was full of people.

I actually think it can, since most videos on Youtube also come in mp4 format. But I sort of understand what you mean, I make web shows for a living, all in flv format, and spend a lot of time on Kongregate. Kongregate also being the place where you can find, for free, games older than Angry Birds that are a lot better.

Well I'm thinking that all the stuff we saw the Doctor do in the first minute of the episode one of this series, that's what's going to be the focus of this entire half season. I distinctly remember him digging an escape tunnel in what appeared to be WW 2 Germany, and the next episode is "Let's kill Hitler", so it would make sense and tie into the plot very well. With all the twists that have been going on in the series lately, [spoiler]something tells me that th

Streaming tech has sure come a long way. This looks very promising, but at the same time, it means that desktops can coexist with mobile devices, you just won't do much with them directly. Turn on, configure, install the software and then start working from a nice sunny park, far away from the cobwebs of ye old dungeon. Well, sure, there's that cloud stuff, but I wouldn't really trust all my data to a cloud. I'm a bit paranoid. Now all I have to do is find a tablet for

Question is, will they evolve at a faster pace than the desktop, while maintaining a price point that doesn't require the selling of one's kidney? That's the main drawback of mobile devices. To get the mobile part you've got to give up a lot of features and pay a premium for it. Although, here's a thought. What if you could use a tablet to remotely operate your PC and stream stuff from the PC to the tablet or other mobile device. That would be the on

Reply to Is “The Age of the PC" coming to an end? in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

If a tablet will every be advanced enough to let me do what I can on my PC, but with the added bonus of doing it outside, instead of locked in a dungeon, then yes, the old big black box is going to get retired. Until then you can't really get any work done on a tablet. Currently, I see tablets more as consumer only or specialized devices, for example, I'm trying to write a beekeeping management program for my dad, and I want to get it on a tablet, once I find one that works and doesn&
