Mobile Phones & Gadgets / Microsoft buys Nokia's Device and Services business

« on: September 03, 2013, 10:26:20 AM »

Microsoft announced late Monday night that it will buy Nokia's mobile phone business -- a momentous deal that pits Microsoft squarely against Apple and Google in the hotly contested smartphone arena.

 The €5.4 billion ($7.2 billion) acquisition gives Microsoft control of the second-largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world, according to IDC. The Finnish Nokia (NOK) is well behind Samsung in cell phone sales but far ahead of third-place Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500), according to IDC... click for more

Software, Security, Programming and Internet / Google Product Search/Shopping.... steeuppsss

« on: November 28, 2012, 05:29:06 PM »

I'm a heavy user of Google Product Search... now called Google shopping when searching for random products at low prices.

For the past few months i find that the engine was a bit off as items i know to exist or items of lower pricing were not showing up in the search result.

Now today finding out via a Bing campaign that Google shopping is now a paid service where sellers pay google to list their items and also to raise the priority that is displayed in their search results... who knows if this will become normal search within the future... as if the ridiculous amount of ad's werent enough...

steups... i will have to find another product search engine... guess i'll be over at bing and see if they yeild better results...

Benchmarks / phoenix31tt benchmark thread - New LCS System

« on: February 14, 2010, 11:30:48 PM »

Latest Bench





Hi all,

i guess its about time i started my own thread.

So the plan was to upgrade to a core i7 but... i get a sweet deal i couldn't refuse... 2 x Sapphire 5770's V2 and all i have to cough out is 1000$ so i decided to take it  
this replaced my HD4870

and well these are the results:


HD4870 vs HD5770 (Smaller, Uses less power, but great results)


2 x HD5770 Crossfire

and well these are the numbers it they putting up:


P15512


P15512

So i must say that these 2 little cards are very impressive thus far, this is with an overclock of 950/1300 on both cards

Will tweak/test later on and update to suite

I guess i'll be putting that core i7 upgrade on hold for another year... dont think i'll need anything more atm
