Why overclocked RAM is not worth the price and effort

I often see people spending huge amounts of money on RAM, and there is a lot of misinformation regarding RAM. So I thought I'd explain a few things regarding RAM and why you should not worry about it.

Galaxy S 3 will use quad core CPU

An executive from Samsung confirmed in an interview with the Korea Times that the successor to the Galaxy S 2 will be using a quad core A9 processor, which is most likely the Exynos 4412.

Apple will host a conference regarding all their money (updated)

Apple will today (19th) be hosting a conference in order to discuss what they will do with their 100,000 million dollars. It will start 9am New York time.
They got enough money to do pretty much anything so I wonder what they will spend it on. Revive Steve Jobs maybe?

Thunderbolt coming to PCs soon

You guys have most likely heard of Thunderbolt which is currently featured on the Macbook Pro and Macbook Air. I think Thunderbolt is a very interesting piece of technology and it seems like non-Apple computers will get it soon.

Samsung Ice Cream Sandwich update now out!

Samsung has finally released the Ice Cream sandwich update for these devices:

  • Galaxy Note
  • Galaxy S 2
  • Galaxy S 2 LTE
  • Galaxy R
  • Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
  • Galaxy Tab 7.7
  • Galaxy Tab 8.9
  • Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE
  • Galaxy Tab 1.10
The update is currently only released in Korea, Sweden, Poland and Hungary but more countries are getting it as soon as possible. The US will most likely have to wait a bit longer because of their carriers wanting to do their own tests and modifications to the update.
They have also tweaked a new Gingerbread based ROM for the original Galaxy S to include some ICS features like Face Unlock.

Response to Chris Pirillo's "How Real People Will Use Windows 8"

Chris Pirillo (aka lockergnome) uploaded a view entitled "How Real People Will Use Windows 8" to his Youtube channel and I noticed some flaws with it that I'd like to point out. Sadly, he has blocked me from commenting since I pointed how what a hypocrite he is, and about 200 people thumbed me up so he deleted my comment and have had me blocked ever since. 
This is the video. It's a little over 4 minutes long and what it shows is Chris' dad trying out Windows 8 for the first time on a virtual machine.

MPC-HC guide

It seems like there are quite a few MPC-HC guides out there but I think most of them are either too complicated, or doesn't provide the best viewing experience. This is what I use and I am very pleased with it. Thanks to Nand for the original guide. So, here is my MPC-HC guide.

The Samsung Galaxy S 3

So there are lots of rumors regarding the Galaxy S 3 floating around right now like it will have a 1920x1080 display and a quad core 1.5GHz CPU.
However, I don't think these are entirely true. This is what I think the Galaxy S 3 will be like.

Windows 8 - A few things I didn't mention

There are a few things I skipped in my Windows 8 review so I thought I'd post comment show and comment on them now.

Windows 8 Consumer Preview review

So like I posted earlier, the consumer preview of Windows 8 is now released. The consumer preview is basically just a fancier word for beta. When Microsoft was making the developer preview they had to rush it out a bit and left out a lot of features which has now made it to the consumer preview.
A lot of people were very displeased with the developer preview but that release was just made so that developers could start developing metro apps. So now that the more polished and feature rich version is released I though I'd give you guys a review and give my thoughts on it.
