Do be aware that the stick layout is like a 360 controller. Also the wireless is IR via a dongle. Also no battery meter. I own this version: http://www.gamestop.com/ps3/accessories/ps3-afterglow-wireless-control/92676 There is an older wired version and a newer revision, neither of which I...

There are plenty of third party hardware for systems that either exceeds first party quality per dollar OR covers design space that the manufacturer won't (charging cradles, wireless controllers for wired consoles). Notably, the Afterglow controllers for X360 and PS3 have impressed me. I had...

I can see why. Maintaining a cheap pay-per-minute phone for mobile contact and emergencies seems worthwhile, especially as the cost can be as low as ~5 USD per month in the US. It may even be cheaper than having a landline in some cities as most people are moving to mobile.

Most recent ports/remasters only improve on the graphics and cost 40-60 USD, making them a tough sell for someone who already owns the original(s). However, between the growing console market, decreased backward compatibility, and cheap production cost, remaster remain viable. It is frustrating...

That's not even the right market. For use like that ethernet cabling makes the most sense, but standard wireless is also going to be more than sufficient in most cases. You need some use where you need a lot of high speed connections but also want mobility but don't expect to block connections...

Current consumer wireless routers typically max out at 600 Mb/s, though usually the speed isn't very important as outside connections don't exceed this. More importantly, this new tech is expensive and not extremely useful for home applications, as the mobility and number of simultaneous...

Yeah, we do. The fact that there are additional complexities to how a bike balances beyond what was traditionally thought and that we haven't yet shown if the newer understanding of the physics behind it is comprehensive does not mean we "don't know" how it works. They are trying to eliminate...

They had "human DNA". Hair, dander, etc could easily be the culprit, as could sample contamination. Even if this is the case, that isn't good since human diseases can be more easily transmitted this way. But that depend quite heavily on how much is present. This doesn't even get into the chance...

Well, it is. Sort of. It is actually Source: http://www.clearfood.com/food_reports/2015/the_hotdog_report Food contamination is likely the culprit and it isn't clear what concentration was found. Clear Food is likely to phrase their finding in such a way to get people more interested in...

The introduction of the error actually comes from Yahoo but that actually makes it all the worse for me as that means that the article was written directly from another article as opposed to reading the source. While I don't expect the article to dissect the functionality of the gun in question...

Well, I doubt this particular build is meant to be a weapon. Actually it remains to be seen if it even is a railgun. But emplaced electric propulsion weapons can manage accuracy, speed, and distance with much lower projectile costs compared to standard weapons. Handheld versions don't make...

The are typically called benchrest rifles to distinguish them from electric propulsion railguns. Railguns can also refer to railway guns, a WWI/WWII rail wagon mounted artillery weapon.

I...What? Game developers are the ones who make the games. The article even call the Alison Road guys, developers. You are thinking of publishers. Team 17 is an independent studio who will be PARTNERING with the Allison Road devs to develop the game. This usually indicates that they will share...

A BBC report on nickel coins (http://www.bbc.com/news/health-22956874) cited Allergy UK as stating that "[...] a common example is men who carry coins in their pockets, only to find they have sore and itchy skin on their thighs as a result." There doesn't appear to be any studies on these coins...

It is an Accelerated Processing Unit, which has 4 CPU cores and 4 GPU cores on the same die. This has some advantages and disadvantages, but ultimately it isn't much more powerful than similarly priced PCs. The limits are hardware are still a ways off but more problematically, consumers and...
