Mozilla Experiments with Push Notification API for Websites .
This would be cool, just have a space for something to light up with an icon for the site would be nice. For example, having a little icon pop-up showing that Whiskey Sites have a new video or a live show is starting would be cool; Facebook notifications would be nice too.@ssjviviano said:The current method is enough. I don't like the idea of popups and being asked permission every time ...

New High-DPI OS X UI Elements Give Hope for High-Resolution Macs.
But, it's an OS also used with 30" monitors, so if 1080p requires higher DPI elements, then doesn't that mean anyone with a 30" 2560 screen has been lacking it for a while? I'm a little confused how this really gives much hope for that...

Nikon D800 Shoots 1080p Video and 36MP Photos for $3000 [Video].
@obidamnkenobi said:So this is Nikon's 5DII (slower, more MP), while the D4 is their 1Dmk4 (faster fps, less MP)? I thought 20 MP was crazy on the 5D2 when that came out, but this is just getting out of hand.. But what do I know, somebody must want it. I'll stick to saving up for a canon 7D for my meager needs..Not everyone is just a consumer with a big ...

Raspberry Pi first batch will be made by February 20th
on the General Discussion board.
Might be good to say what it is you're talking about. As someone who hasn't ever heard of this, I was a bit lost as to why I should care about some random Chinese manufactured micro computer.

Windows 8 Start Button May Be Replaced by a Hot Corner and Charms.
@Jensonb: The difference here is that the windows task bar FUNCTIONS fine, and looks FINE. I'd much rather have the icons always in the same spots. having it on the left means that all icons are always in the same place no matter how many icons there are on the bar. With a centered bar, you end up with odd and even numbers having different spacing. Much better to just ...

Windows 8 Start Button May Be Replaced by a Hot Corner and Charms.
I think people complaining about all this stuff are a bit silly. The start menu isn't needed anymore. I HATED going through the program files bullshit as soon as the search function came about, and the pinning came about. More space for my programs to be pinned and accessible.@Jensonb: Wait, you don't like that it's all the way over to eh edges of the screen? I HATE the way the ...

HDR Photography: Accurate Tone-Mapping or Photo Manipulation?.
@Foggen said:HDR exists to capture detail that would not be present in a regular image. It is not "more accurate", nor is it misleading. Assigning ethical ramifications to it is absurd.@rateoforange said:This is a total grey area. The photographer is never an impartial observer; he's always the one framing the shot. This is true regardless of how the image is processed.NPAA is looking for bright-line rules, though. HDR imagery does ...

What kind of laptop does a college student really need? What ki
on the General Discussion board.
I would say a $1000 ultra book is the opposite of what you want as a student. Just get a decent, lightweight cheap PC laptop so you can save your money for other things. Unless your set on money, then yeah, you don't need any real power. You just need something that is light and boots quickly. I'd say DON'T go for an Air if you go Ultrabook, because you ...

Android commercials are so regularly shit. Their either fucking stupid CG heavy sci-fi looking bullshit that have nothing to do with the actual phone, or are just kind of what Apple did with their Mac vs PC campaign.I actually think HTC is ok, because it tends to give a bit of information, isn't in your face and dumb, and also is bright and cheery and generally focused on the devices. ...

Windows Phone 8 "Apollo" Features Revealed in Insider Video.
Sounds great. I'm glad to see their not being to sluggish with this stuff. Being so young and fresh, there is certainly some lacking parts to WP7 but it has a really solid core experience, better imo than the mess of apps that android and particularly iOS have become.

AMD Radeon 7950 Benchmarks Measure Up to GTX 580 Performance.
Wait, didn't the more expensive one ALSO perform about the same as the 580? The benchmarks I remember seemed to average out to about hte same, with the 580 taking the edge in some cases and the ATI taking it in others.

5.4 Million Dot (1280x1024) Electronic Viewfinder Challenges Optical Clarity.
@Mumrik: If by confusing you mean "false", yeah. I was about to say about the same thing.That said, MAKE ME A DAMN MONITOR LIKE THIS.STOP MAKING SEXY TVS, MAKE AN AWESOME COMPUTER MONITOR. LIKE THIS. BUT HUUUUUUUUUGE.Come to think of it, I don't even want to think about how much power you'd need to run something at the resolutions this'd theoretically do at 27-30 inches.

Nintendo Equips Wii U Controller with NFC, Possibly for Micropayments.
If only they would let you use your credit card. Fuck putting in credit card information. I'd much rather just pull my card out and swipe it over a controller than put in my information even once. This is just going to be for Skylanders style crap, because it's Nintendo. I doubt they want little kids stealing their parent's credit cards and buying new shiny things in their games.

Virtual Projection Concept Wirelessly Connects Smartphones and Displays [Video].
@jmood88: Except the things they showed here that are UNIQUE to this are bad and I wouldn't like it no matter HOW smooth it was. There are already ways to toss a picture from your smart phone to a bigger display. This just lets you move it in not very useful ways. It'd be REALLY cool if you were able to use your smartphone to interact with Maya, especially if ...

How do you feel about the file hosting services getting closed?
on the General Discussion board.
It'd be cool if those services worked, but it's too easy to pirate with them. No, it isn't the intention. But at the same time, I bet most of the traffic on those sites, or at least wayyyy too much of it, is piracy. If you need to back up files on the cloud, get a drop box account, or hell, email it to yourself. If you need to send ...

How Lax Guidelines and Loopholes May Hurt Intel's Ultrabook Initiative.
Shouldn't a bigger screen make things is anything less thick? More space to spread other components out? I don't think the screen needs to get thicker at least not with such a minimal increase in width... Seems like that would cancel out the whole price thing, but I guess I could be wrong, I have no idea how these "laptops" you speak of work...
