TechNews - AMD cuts CPU prices - tech
(hx) 01:07 AM CEST - Aug,13 2009 - Post a comment / read (20)
  • AMD cuts CPU prices - For instance, the Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition is now selling for $199.99 on Newegg as of today. That's $45 less than the official $245 price tag found on the official AMD CPU price list.
  • Intel Core i7 In-Depth Performance Scaling Analysis - Madshrimps posted an Intel Core i7 In-Depth Performance Scaling Analysis
  • Samsung SyncMaster 2233SW 16:9 Widescreen LCD Monitor Tested -  The Syncmaster 2233SW is a simple and cost effective 21.5" monitor that has the additional resolution bump up to 1920x1080
  • Dell scraps 12inch Netbook range - According to Dell this is due to the fact that, according to the user base, 10" is the 'sweet spot' for Netbooks and there isn't a great deal of a market for the slightly larger 12", as a result the size will be disbanded.
  • Google testing their re-engineered search engine - Google has been working on a re-engineered version of their search engine lately
  • New Wi-Fi standard, 802.11n, nearing completion - According to Wired's website, the new standard for Wi-Fi is near completion and offering up to 600mbps promises lightning fast speeds along with a great deal of other bells and whistles. Products based on the final 802.11 n standard could offer up to 600 Mbps connectivity speeds, plus the ability to have up to four simultaneous streams of high-definition video, voice and data through the house. The standard also promises easy backward compatibility, which means new devices will work smoothly with older products.
  • Mozilla Releases Firefox 3.6 Alpha - Firefox 3.6, code-named Namoroka, has a variety of changes, but it's not as dramatic a departure as 3.5 was from 3.0. Among the 3.6 features are faster JavaScript, the Web programming language Firefox executes with itsTraceMonkey engine; faster page-rendering speed; some new features for CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)technology for controlling some of the look of a Web site; and a feature called the compositor that handles complicated layout circumstances better

  • Wolfenstein RPG Arrives on iPhone - Kotaku has obtained a shot of a Meijer catalog set to launch on August 30th. The image shows a black Xbox 360 Elite console selling for the "New Lower Price" of $299.99. The site believes Microsoft could announce the Elite price cut as soon as next week at Gamescom. If the rumors are correct, Sony should be responding with a price cut of their own in the form of the PS3 Slim
  • Ion engine could one day power 39-day trips to Mars - There's a growing chorus of calls to send astronauts to Mars rather than the moon, but critics point out that such trips would be long and gruelling, taking about six months to reach the Red Planet. But now, researchers are testing a powerful new ion engine that could one day shorten the journey to just 39 days
  • 14 Seconds of the New Moon Trailer Online  - Summit has officially released this 14-second preview of the New Moon trailer that is hitting theaters this Friday with Bandslam!
  • 5 Minutes of Iron Man 2 Footage - The five-minute clip runs through a number of scenes, including a meeting between Stark and Fury, a congressional hearing questioning Stark's possession of the suit and an action montage where we get our first looks at Whiplash, Black Widow and even War Machine in motion. Impressions? Looks great, really happy to see War Machine's debut. However, I liked Terrance Howard. I'm sure Don Cheadle will be great, but I think the firing was totally unnecesarry.
  • 500 Days of Summer Bank Heist Music Video - It's actually a music video for the song 'Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?' by Zooey Deschanel's band She & Him. It was created as an additional promotional video by Fox Searchlight for the nationwide release of 500 Days of Summer this weekend. It's really a fun video, so check it out!

When he leaves and therefore can't reply to her emails, she starts up a hilariously tragic and mildly twisted semi-monologue as this over-zealous nut job fears the worst for her 'relationship'.

Instead of "Buy 2, get 1 free" of the Blu Ray crap, they better lower their prices by 33%, then perhaps someone would be interested in going Blu-Ray.

Get a real job.

strangestsensation, your posts remind me alot of someone that used to post here, think their name was XXXX but its been a while.

Anyway, think I'll hold off on Blu-Ray till its priced normally or replaced as was DVD.

strangestsensation(06:15 PM CEST - Aug,13 2009 )
Who the heck is XXX?! Sounds like porno! I like porno, mmm!!

Who are you his boyfriend in to save him? Give it a rest dude since most Bluray you can get for $20 bucks unless you live in the north pole! You can also get a Bluray player for your PC for $150! Wohoa how about that huh?!

Plus these days you can rent em, bring em home and rip em! Oh the humanity! If ya don't like that, buy em online for %50 off!

Like I said, get a better job if passing newspapers house to house isn't cutting it. I'm not rich and I got a family to feed and bills to pay and I got a PS3 and I watch blurays.

Interesting that I knew he or someone would fly in after my remark, which is only OBVIOUS retort. Usually kids who complain about price. Kids who can't save their money and blow it on drugs or booze.

Just to save you some time. I know it takes a lot of mental energy for some of us to look hard into it, we like to bitch and complain but;

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/top.php?show=bargains&sortby=popularity&country=usa

Check the average price. No more than DVD. Sure the player costs more but you aren't talking crap quality like DVD, you are talking fantastic quality, such fantastic quality you need a quality screen to watch them. So if you can't afford a PS3 get a player for your PC and buy your movies online. I have yet to pay more than $22 for a movie which is more than acceptable considering most even come with a regular DVD included.

Here I even helped you even more, these are Blu ray players for your PC...Some for less than $100. Incredible huh? Mine is the second one, and I have a PS3.

Oh so I get it, now that I educated you on prices you have no further retorts eh? I guess I don't even get a 'gee sorry I guess I was wrong'. Well figures. Lots on this site I read bitch and complain but 3/4 of time they don't know what they are talking about.

Badmagic(07:47 PM CEST - Aug,13 2009 )
Colourful rant you had going there, sorry I didn’t see it at the time as I don’t sit here all day, as for price, I’m not a wan.. eh I mean yank so ninety-nine out of a hundred titles are a rip off in price at the moment.

tub0rg(07:53 PM CEST - Aug,13 2009 )
you could invest that money in a decent i net connection and just watch the bluerays for free!

98% of the shit hollywood dishes out isnt worth the media its shipped on so why pay for trash.

Firstly, you were pretty fast running in to defend him, like not even 5mins after I posted I got alerted of a post back.

To be honest, I rent blurays and they are approx 5-7 bucks here. If I am tricky, I make a copy for myself. I do know lots of Euro's who buy overseas so what's stopping you? I buy most movies online because locally stores do tend to rip the consumer off. That's not the fault of Sony or anyone else, just the store. Like you said, a lot of movies are really not for me to watch a second time.

Point here was that Bluray is not that expensive and most certainly not a rip. If you consider the price tag of a PS3 @ $399 Canadian. You now can play DVD's, CDR/RW, Bluray, Stream any movie or sound/music you want from your PC with little to no effort, cruise the net, shop online and play great looking games. PS3 is a steal, not a ripoff if you really consider what you are getting. Not to mention a PS3 can be updated so that Bluray player is better than anything on a store shelf. Same goes for a PC bluray reader. Now how about that Xbox with a DVD format nobody gives a shit about? Now that is a rip off and you have to PAY to play online!

There you have it ! The real truth !

If you look at todays releases, they're all cheaply produced computer crap.
Here in europe, DVD prices average 4 to 5€, Blu-Ray averages €20.

Now, If Blu-Ray would still average €10 instead of €20, then at least I will *think* about going Blu-Ray. Yet, it's only the pixel-seekers who really see any real difference with regular DVD, that's perhaps the 2nd reason why Blu-Ray will die without ever having lived up (...and YES, I do own a
fantastic big Full-HD plasma TV!).
Besides, If you own a PS3 you won't even notice any difference between a regular DVD and a BR.


@stangestsensation, I'm not a thief like you, I still prefer to buy the stuff I'd like to have, perhaps it's you to get A job !

Exactly. I don't plan to upgrade to Blue-Ray too. Old DVDs are just fine.

LOL! See now where is the PS3/Bluray sales guy Stumpus? Is he on vacation now? roflmao!

Well if you are a moron and buy them in the local store and don't use the internet that's your choice. I prefer to save money so I buy them online and have them at my door 12-24hours later at half or better price. You can call me a thief, whatever I don't care. Sticks and stones. I love when people say "I'm not a thief like you" when that can't even be proven. Idiotic statement.

No difference between a bluray and a DVD? Well I wont bang heads with you because it is clearly obvious you have no clue. You have to be totally blind not to see a difference.

In the end, you quote this other guy in support but in essence he's supporting the fact I am downloading movies. Then you call me a thief? Do you have a reefer hanging out your mouth? Honestly some of you need serious help. First talking without knowing jack all and then you can't even comprehend the english in front of you. :roll:

Yes Blu-ray will die, that's why every other vendor on the planet has endorsed it and are starting to make their own blu-ray players. Yes, because blu-ray will die anytime. That's why there are constant rumors the next Xbox will have Blu-ray.

Wow, aren't you like the guy who runs this site? You don't even know how to spell it? That's Blu-ray, not Blue-Ray. Yikes.

Go educate yourself on just how Blu-ray is better rather than sounding like complete n00bs.

Comparison shots to show you are completely blind and oblivious to advantages of Blu-ray.

Here's Bladerunner, imho, one of the worst Blu-rays but still clearly shows Blu-ray superiority over DVD.

I'm going to end this conversation because I'm tired of knocking heads with people that just aren't in the 'know'.

strangestsensation aren't you son of xxxx ? :D

strangestsensation(06:34 PM CEST - Aug,14 2009 )
I see now, there is an existing member here XXXX that hasnt posted in a long time and from Canada. roflmao. All this time I thought you were saying I was a porn star. LOL! I am from Canada too actually. Canada is a big country but no I am not xxxx, I am just me. I didn't read his posts but I am a little intrigued now. I sense people don't like being corrected on this site. It's ok to trash things, companies, operating systems, games, use foul language but when someone who knows what they are talking about comes along something ain't right??? :? That's very funny. :lol:

Honestly, you guys should rent a Blu-ray player. Maybe after you actually have one and enjoy a few movies you might actually understand the differences. I even provided you some decent links so you could see the difference from at least a screen comparison. I think I would puke to watch dvd again!

update: Where is this site in? it seems everyone here has bad english. Is this a Euro page or something?!

(06:50 PM CEST - Aug,14 2009 )

That explain a lot :wink: 8)

Simply Blue-ray movies are too expensive for me.

Yes dude. I live in Czech republic 8)

Ozieo(07:18 PM CEST - Aug,14 2009 )
Ok, let's cut the crap. The topic was that Blu-Ray is way too expensive to be successful and to be bought, and there we agree eh stangesensation ?

strangestsensation(07:35 PM CEST - Aug,14 2009 )
Back at ya! I thought it was Euro, explains the language barrier and stubbornness on this site and head knocking and serious lack of tech knowledge. It's strange to me that you have a site like this but have a ridiculous bunch of people who argue about something they clearly know very little about. In Canada we are more civil towards one another and tech is huge. We don't carry guns like our southern neighbours.

Ozieo> Ok, let's cut the crap. The topic was that Blu-Ray is way too expensive to be successful and to be bought, and there we agree eh stangesensation ?

No, we don't agree. LOL! You just don't know where to buy them Ozieo. 480p and 1080p is a big difference. I just bought 3 movies for $40 Cdn through Amazon shipped to my house for free. That's less than $15 a blu-ray! In each case a dvd comes with it! I'm not going to agree with you when the facts are right there. Maybe you have a crappy tv and stereo and you can't enjoy blu-ray, is that it?? Does your government sniff your mail and you are afraid to get caught? I am obviously missing something here or you are not telling me something.

update: I have a few meetings to attend to but I will check back later on I hope. Once my kids are in bed and my beer cracks open I have more time to tell you more. :wink: this girl at top of page too makes it hard to stay on site i don't want my colleagues to think I am on some porn site. Hahahahaha!!!

Badmagic(01:23 AM CEST - Aug,15 2009 )
Ah, I didn’t know XXXX was from Canada, I didn’t know you were either, just very similar personality comes across from the posts reminded me of him, you know, belligerent, hostile, self important, derogatory etc, never really associated those traits with any Canadians I have met in the past.

Oh boy, do you have an egotistical/narcissistic problem? Take a back seat for the mo'

Just because people don't agree with you doesn't mean you judge a book by its cover. Or do you? In the short time you have posted here you've 'walked' all over everyone that begs to differ.
You talk as if you invented MS. Sure you may have knowledge on their OS, So?? I have known countless people and friends in the IT industry that have no clue how to build a custom games rig or build a bog standard PC. It comes down to a simple fact, why should they if they can simply go and buy a ready built machine?? I have spent 15years building and customising my own and friends PCs, I don't need to talk my friends down because they don't know all i know? One thing you fail to even contemplate, you DON'T know EVERYTHING! Neither does anyone.
What you need to get a grip of is that you accuse people (Europe, give me a break eh..) of having a lack of tech,manners etc but as soon as someone posts something that you don't disagree with, YOUR back with the accusatory remarks.
Seriously, strangestsensation, you've succeded in annoying a majority on this forum -weird kick if you ask me? But each their own i guess....
Gaming is NOT the end of the world and i -like many others here- have a LOT to do other than...
No, i'm not here for an arguement, i disagree with your comments, purely because you RAM your reply down everyones throat -whether they like it or not. It's boring and immature and i NO way CONSRUCTIVE based.
Get over it and move on. In future i hope you refrain from answering EVERY post with a childish dig and forever quoting someones past messages. God, that is so pathetic. "No it's not, yes it is, no it's....." Get the drift?
Anyway, why post here if no one cares a jot about your Win# comments? There is a million and one forums out there with people requiring help. This site has a plethora of different areas and because of Hx, people can express how they feel WITHOUT personaly attacking someone because they don't worship the ground of a fellow poster...

I do hope you move on and Hx doesn't retort to kicking you off. As has been said, xxxx, you are the perfect reflection of in posts and attitude. Doesn't exactly bode well for Canada, does it :lol: (For the slow-on-the-uptake, a joke)
