Two Screens Are Better Than One Give someone a second monitor, let them use it for while, and then try to take it away. It just isn't going to happen. They'll never go back to a mono display. Researchers in the Visualization and Interaction for Business and Entertainment group (VIBE), found that increasing a computer user's display space made it easier for them to complete their tasks. I have 6 17" LCDs connected to my desktop @ work. Overkill? I could probably get by with 3 comfortably, but then would have to press the Alt+Tab key combo Primary display - IE, surfing Secondary - Outlook, mail for domain I support Third - IE, OWA for domain I'm backup s…

With all the talk about HDTV I figured I would see what ppl think about HD vs. Satellite Radio. I happen to have a HD and (2) Satellite recievers and they are all pretty kewl. The one thing they need to added to HD radio that my sat receivers have is a recording feature with a rewind so you can listen to a song you like again and also song and game score alerts that tell me when a song or artist I like is on another channel and allows me to press a button and switch to that channel a few secs before the song starts and what the score of sporting events are with out having to listen to the whole game or even having to change the channel. One of the big advanages of Sat rad…

AMD on the Rebound: A Chat With Henri Richard HWZ: With the merger, it is understandable that certain products have been realigned, but could we have an update on the R600 delays? Henri Richard: The R600 will be out in the second quarter. The reason we decided to delay the launch was that we wanted to have a complete DX10-enabled solution top to bottom. A lot of people wrote that the reason it is delayed is because of a problem with the silicon, but there is no problem with the silicon. We are demonstrating it. We can ship it today. But if you think about it, looking at where the market is at, the volumes are going to be in the R610 and R630, so it makes sense for…

So I was reading this on Dell's site today: Installing a filler bracket over an empty expansion slot is necessary to maintain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the computer and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the computer. Am I going to get arrested if I don't replace that bracket plate? Is this one of those mattress tag laws?

Would anyone be interested in playing paintball once or twice a month? Shaggy and I have played before, and have been talking to some others about starting up again. Lots of fun, though startup cost is around $125. After you buy a gun, mask, and tank, you've only got air and paint to get each time.
