This would (given they didn't completely screw something up) be a near-perfect budget phone if it weren't for the lack of rear camera flash and notification LED... :/ By which, of course, I mean it has a removable battery and expandable storage.

Same issue with Windows. Apple forced the issue with iOS, yeah? Makes me wonder what MS will do for WP.

"The DRAM Memories Subcommittee (JC-42.3) has been working since June 2008 on definitions of standardized 3D memory stacks for DDR3 that provide power and performance benefits a full generation ahead of conventional technology."

They did. They just didn't sell it to you.

Is RAMBUS a thing again?

I hope all-in-one PCs stick around. I have two at home, a Lenovo for work and an MSI for gaming, and they're nice setups. Also, I know people who are perfect candidates for low-end AIOs, as they just need a home machine for email and web surfing.

Don't most of them use notebook parts anyways?

That sounds dubious. Need a citation.

I guess the only thing I can think of where this would make sense is that higher capacity means smaller magnetic domains that can fade away faster over time... but still, I'd rather see some study on that.

Knock on wood but so far my 6 3TB Seagate drives are doing fine. I was a Hitachi fanatic for years so I still back up my Seagates religiously.

My first hard drive was 10MB. I used a DOS program called "doublespace" to take it to a whopping 20MB. My mind was blown. It then took twice as long to read/write to/from the drive. That was the tradeoff apparently. It was still faster than playing Kings Quest from the floppy disks though.... And all of this was only 25 years ago. crazy

"All of the affected cords, whether bundled with a laptop or with a docking station, were sold from (September 2012 through June 2012) for about $500 to $1,500."

I would imagine they didn't sell many PC's in this kind of timeframe.

That's twice as much storage as the previous top tier plan for half the price, or ten times the storage of the cheapest plan for the same price. However you want to slice it, Dropbox is offering more storage for less money, and is likely to attract a wider audience as a result.

This is a huge number and many individuals and companies small to large have no option other than to keep running on this obsolete OS

Ohhh, that is quite tiny.

Woah, sticker shock. Does any MPC reader own a $5000 ($6000) boutique Digital Storm Bolt II or even the Bolt 1?

Haven't added up the cost of all the components, but it still seems quite high to me. Doesn't even have a 1TB SSD in it. If I'm spending $5000 or more on my system, it better not have a mechanical drive unless that drive is 2GB+ and is being used for media.

I don't understand why consumers aren't lining up like lemmings to drop $750-1000 on their video cards. And buying two or three at a time! I just don't get it....

The promo code apparently subtracts a penny from your order. That's right. 1 whole cent. Seriously?

I've lost track of how many times the PC has been declared dead.

Not for me, mine's working fine.

I'm mostly talking about RAM usage of Chrome in Windows7. For most 32bit OSes and systems, it's just too much RAM is needed to have more than 6 tabs open. And for Win laptops, it eats battery nicely. But for most 64bit desktops with more than 4GB of RAM, it's fine. While in some artificial benchmarks FF and IE11 come close, they aren't close enough. And there are so many features in Chrome which they don't have, it's amazing.

After installing from the provided link I notice that the application stays in the folder "Program Files (x86)" instead of "Program Files". I have tried the link in the article and the link provided by Incognito. Is this expected behavior or maybe I have to do an uninstall before installing the 64 bit version?
