awkwardness of the podcasts

Heh, that's an interesting point. The few that I did actually listen to were mostly Scott talking to himself and occasionally Jordan, and then either Cyril or Geoff occasionally saying "yeah" or "no".

Exactly! :-)

Probably the HyperX Cloud Stinger...these sound worse than my $20.00 MonoPrice headphones.

Re: Razer DeathAdder Chroma-Logitech G502 Proteus Core-Corsair Sabre RGB

Just bought the Razer Deathadder Chroma and I like it, but I also owned the original Deathadder as well. I give it about a 7 out of 10 because I find it a bit slippery in my hand. Getting a mouse to an 8 or 9 out of 10 is very tricky.

Re: O Tech Report, Tech Report, wherefore art thou Tech Report?

I'd like to see reviews of new variants of cards. Mainly to see if the cooling and noise factors are better than the ones at launch. More video card reviews would be great. Overclocking, custom cooling, value over time, etc. It would be great to perhaps see more short-like articles dedicated to dif...

Re: O Tech Report, Tech Report, wherefore art thou Tech Report?

I really appreciate the responses here and my mind is a bit more settled on the issue. However, I still maintain that more can and should be done. Younger adults are really digging on the youtube and social media aspects of communication. It is not my preferred medium, but it may be a viable way to ...

You notice how I waited for almost a year before saying anything at all? A year in internet time is an eternity...I am clinging to hope. This thread could be about any tech website.

Quick question (despite my Mod status, I have nothing to do with the inner workings of TR).  Do you want TR content in podcast, video, or text?  They've been slin...

O Tech Report, Tech Report, wherefore art thou Tech Report?

Not so long ago it seemed like the Tech Report podcast was in frequent issue. Not so long ago it seemed like you had enough technology related articles to satisfy the most raving tech enthusiast. Not so long ago the Tech Report was my primary source of tech news, tech articles and tech media. Much l...

Re: techreport, meet anandtech

Yeah this was my comment over at Anandtech after finishing up the article... I love you guys, but this article comes off a bit like sour grapes. The Tech Report dove into this issue head first and admitted from the beginning the testing methods may not be perfect. They have continued to be clear on ...

Re: Happiness: 2560x1440 S-IPS for $300

OK!!! I got it all figured out my awesome MSI 6950 Twin Frozr III PE/OC Edition card is not working with dual link DVI. I connected the Shimian right up to an old Power Color 4870 with 2x Dual DVI and it worked perfectly from boot. The only way the MSI works is if I boot to another monitor first and...

Re: Happiness: 2560x1440 S-IPS for $300

Okay so I think I am getting to the bottom of the issue. Looks like my monitor is not able to display on startup or reboot. I have to boot up from my standard monitor and once Windows loads I can connect it. I am running an MSI 6950 and have never had any issues running Eyefinity or any number of mo...

Re: Happiness: 2560x1440 S-IPS for $300

Bad news guys last night my monitor stopped working, but I believe it is the power cord. Any idea where I can go to get a bloody replacement. The transformer used to be warm now it is cold as a stone. I think it might be a good idea for us to buy a step up transformer with these monitors. http://www...
