No, that is because you have a badly programmed add-on that breaks Firefox.

@geekthree 18$ for a .com for 1 year is less than pocket change for any lare or even medium company.

NVIDIA thanks Intel for saying GPUs are 'only' 14 times faster than CPUs

@AleThey are.. it's called Tegra, aimed at low-powered mobile devices.

About making x86 processors so that you can run Windows and your applications on your laptop or desktop. Then this is because Intel doesn't allow them too.
Sadly, Intel has complete patent on the x86 architecture. Intel must allow AMD to make x86 architecture, because else Intel has the monopoly and can't sell their CPU in majority of the world due to anti-monopoly policy.

Fun fact, AMD has the 64-bit part (x86-64). So, if one day if Intel doesn't give AMD right to continue making x86 CPU for whatever reason, AMD would do the same for the x64 part and we are back to Pentium 4's. Until one of the company release/patent the true 64-bit CPU or a true 128-bit CPU. By 'true', I mean that it can ONLY run 64-bit programs, or 128-bit ones for the later CPU architecture.

Sure, Nvidia can come in the game, but it would be very hard to get application support, let alone Windows.

@ZackC456 it true that is looks like that form screen shots.. but in reality it's Task Bar + Quick launch + live preview + Alt+Tab in one, and basically shows Apple how to do it properly.

More like Microsoft was unable to set a deal with the record industry to sell music in Canada, hence why Zune did not have the marketplace in Canada.

Microsoft considers a Zune Pass price drop

When the Zune was in Canada, despite the lack of Zune marketplace (hence why they pulled off (I guess they were unable to make a deal with the music industry).

I love my Zune. As an old iPod user, I am very happy with my Zune. Yes it's a brick, yes there is no Zune marketplace. But the software is greatly superior than iTunes in term of quality, navigation, and responsiveness, and the device provides a noticeable better sound quality, thanks to it's better sound chip compared to the iPod, wireless sync with the computer, better headphones (yes you can replace them, but take in consideration that the Zune was actually cheaper than the iPod). And like the iPod it has great controls.
I love my Zune 120, and if I had to choose between an iPod Classic, iPod Nano, and Zune (ignoring disk size), I would still purchase the Zune.

Oh the Zune works great outside in the hard cold Canadian winter, whereas the iPod can't (controls don't work, and it creates humidity when you go outside for a while and inside due to condensation, causing the iPod to break much faster. No issue with the Zune. My guess, from what I saw when I opened my old iPod Nano, is that the circuit board uses low quality soldering where it rusts, and that some circuit are made on a super thin plastic sheet whereas it's all circuit boards on the Zune (other than the HDD, it explains the thickness)

Now I can't comment on the Zune HD, but knowing that Tegra has a lot of features built-in one chip, and newer wireless chips are smaller, I can imagine causing no problem.

Hulu's new player now in the wild, guided tours available

@WillSmith Flash 10.5 will change that as videos (videos and only videos for now), will be rendered on your DEDICATED GPU... The latest Flash player Beta, actually does supports the latest Intel graphic solution... (the one embedded in the Core i's on mobile CPU's, and desktop CPU and 4500X HD if I recall correctly).
Knowing Intel integrated GPU, I would not have my hope up for any significant improvement.

Remember that Flash 10.5 is in Beta, meaning it contains bugs. I would recommend to be patient and wait for the final version.

Dell pumps out a pair of new UltraSharp 1080p IPS LCDs, asks a pittance

@st33ld13hl
But Dell has a 24inch 1920x1200 ISP.. it's called the U2410
Why release 2 of the same monitor?

PlayStation Move controller priced at $60 in Canada

May 11th 2010 5:03PM (Engadget)
@kenny goo The price will be the same in the U.S
The Canadian currency is at par with the U.S (some days it's a bit under, other a bit over, others the same). Unless this particular store is selling it more then the real MSRP, or it's a typo.
