MojoKid··on The Idiocy of the Record Labels' Claim Vs Limewire, Put Into Perspective
...every single US household would have to spend all of its income buying nothing but music for over 13 years in order to arrive at what the music industry has deemed a reasonable settlement.
MojoKid··on Google Tunes Search Algorithm to Tune Out Content Farms
Um no, the source is directly noted and link properly within text and in the source list of the article.
MojoKid··on First AMD Fusion Powered Lenovo Notebook Impresses, ThinkPad X120e
Battery Eater Pro taxes the CPU and GPU blocks slightly and continuously. It doesn't peg anything just keeps the machine working moderately and not idle. It's a little more strenuous than web browsing but not much more.
MojoKid··on Nvidia Launches New Mainstream GeForce GTX 560 Ti Graphics Card
A $250 graphics card that actually can play literally any title you throw at it, at reasonably high res and eye candy turned up.
MojoKid··on Android 2.2 FroYo Offers Huge Performance Gains: Dell Streak Tests
Great data, thanks.
MojoKid··on Android 2.2 FroYo Offers Huge Performance Gains: Dell Streak Tests
I don't think that was the intent of the statement. Read it again. The Hummingbird chip can't compete versus Snapdragon when it's tied down by Android 2.1... that was the point.
MojoKid··on AMD's Radeon HD 6970 & 6950 Debut: Enter Cayman
Exactly, it's all how the two companies market their architecture is all, that and branding. Technically speaking, AMD does more in less silicon area but also has to run at higher clock speeds to do so. The power draw is about comparable between similar price/performance ratios from each camp.

Flamebait article? Hello? This piece actually takes time to look at the system configs, dollars and cents. This article is quite the antithesis of flamebait. Please read before judging.
MojoKid··on AMD's Zacate E-350 Fusion Processor Benchmarked, Beats Intel Atom/NVIDIA Ion 2
True, maybe not Macbooks with Zacate, unless Apple wants something cheaper and lighter. And these parts aren't that far off from CULV Core 2 chips actually.

The rumor on the street is that Apple is eyeballing these chips for next gen Macbooks.
MojoKid··on NVIDIA Launches New Flagship Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 580 Reviewed
While it's impressive to see how well the new GeForce does against AMD's latest 5870 and 6870 cards, word is AMD has another top end GPU set to release this quarter. Should get interesting!
MojoKid··on OCZ RevoDrive X2 Tested: Fastest PCIe SSD Yet, Standard SSD Price Point
No, actually the Fusion-io ioXtreme card that was tested runs for about $899 but it's still crazy more expensive. The 240GB RevoDrive X2 is $620 or so, about as expensive as a standard 256GB SSD, or even a little less.
MojoKid··on SSD with New HSDL Interface Boasts Gobs of Bandwidth
240GB model offers up to 740MB/sec max read throughput and 720MB/sec maximum write throughput. Of course, blazing fast SSD technology like this also comes at a premium, as you'd expect.
