    Tv Set Versus Computer Screen

    The issue of old consoles looking like crap on new hardware isn't going away. It's just going to get worse, until someone adds some good FSAA in to the electronics, to compensate for the higher capabilities. The issue gets worse, with smaller pixels, since the picture has to be up-scaled more. B!

    Tv Set Versus Computer Screen

    I'm not understanding how you figure OLED tv's would be better for old consoles. The issue is that the higher resolution of todays screens make for large square pixels, making everything look darn ugly. It doesn't matter what tech is used to display it, what does matter is if there is a good...

    Tv Set Versus Computer Screen

    A projector has just as bad, or worse, contrast as a LCD/Plasma, making the black more gray, then the CRT's do. Oh, and they suck in daylight... B!

    Tv Set Versus Computer Screen

    Pretty much no LCD / Plasma has the black of a cheap CRT, sadly. An issue i've run in to, i cant seam to find a LCD/Plasma TV of reasonable quality with the ability to run Amigas video signals. The composite i think is 14'ish kHz, DB23M RGB signal from 15,6 kHz. PAL 320×256 - 1280×512 50 Hz...

    Why Hard Drives From Amazon Have Such A High Doa Rate:

    You bought a what, from WHO? Caviar, Western Digital brand. Seagate sold you this...? And on Ebay? As far as i know, (which of course might be wrong) Seagate doesn't have a Ebay outlet. The box you speak of, sounds a lot like the refurbished reshipping boxes from most manufacturers tho. And i...

    Is The Pandora Patented ?

    Well, given that Apple will sue in Texas, or something, your probably right. It will still be easy, meaning that pretty much no matter how much money Apple throws at the thief's and crook... sorry, layers, they will still lose, but the defendant will be tied up in court for years with costs...

    Laptop Processor Help...

    Oh no, that one is rubbish. Actually. The only thing i find worth even rising an eyebrow over is the 2.0 Mega pixel Integrated Web Camera It would probably have been cheaper, and would have got you a better camera if you bought one of those PlayStation cameras... It will do fine, I'm sure. B!

    Is The Pandora Patented ?

    About the i-control pad. How similar is the Apple device? A patent can easily be dismissed by prior art, so if it's to close, the Apple patent is no good. The i-control pad is a published concept and as such i believe it is a valid prior art item. Any working models would be a definitive prior...

    Jailbreaking Now Legal In The U.S.

    Cool quote: This should really be a handy tool for getting console mod-chips legal, as a tool for running home-brew software. But since when was laws, jurisdiction, and sensible thinking ever joined. So that may just stay a "should". B!

    Anyone Willing To Sell Their Pandora?

    No/yes... 350+ shipping, 398. To be paid in UK currency.(£) After converting the funny money the US currently use, ($) to £ it does indeed turn out to over 600 bucks. B!

    Pandora Should Move To Android

    Not being a owner, not having a pre-order, and having every intent never to buy one, i can say Android for the Panda, would sure be a asset. If only implemented as a virtual machine, fine, if set up as a multi-boot device with mini menu, full Ångström, and Android options, now thats the real...

    Curious About The Cpu

    Clock for clock they are fairly similar, being based of ARMv7-based Cortex-A8 groundwork. It's down to the stuff around the chips to make up for the difference, really. B!

    [SOLVED]My Pandora Dream Has Come To An End...

    An object worth almost a months rent in a unlocked storage? I feel for you, but it cant really be a huge shock that it's gone. People on the net, and through the phone can be the most honest people you will ever interact with, and that guy you work with who seams friendly enough, but keeps to...

    Pre-Ordered :d

    Yes. Any old USB stick will work. It has to be a USB 2.0 stick, or it will not work on it's own, you have to hook it up by using a hub with USB 2.0. This adds a lot of bulk... B!

    What Sd I/o Devices Is The Pandora Compatible With?

    I don't think you'll find out. I don't think any sane person will ever find the limit. Nobody in there right mind gets 255 HID's and starts hooking them up. I fully expect the Panda to take any number of HID's until the USB cant address more devices. If i understood it right, the OTG port will...

    Dream Machine

    This could actually be made any day. It would be insanely expensive, as every bit more or less would be/cost as much as the Pandora. It would also be kinda limited in the software department since everyone would either code for one screen, with our without a keyboard unit attached, or what ever...

    Laptop Processor Help...

    Don't know quite how i could miss that link. But with spec's in hand it's fairly easy to say that the 5650 chip is going to have a fair bit more power as you said, (and as i unseen agreed with. ;-) as it has 2x the memory bandwidth, aswell as the much needed shader performance. Just looking at...

    Laptop Processor Help...

    The new laptop is indeed equipped with a later generation CPU, it's not a "Core Duo" (Yonah) but rather a i5, Arrandale, a Westmere sibling. It's a "bit" faster. Quite a bit really. Do remember tho, Turbo-Boost only happens when one core idles on this CPU. If you got 25% load on one core, and...

    Uh? What? The page is there, if you trust it, use it. I find it very empty, only having 2 items on the front page, but perhaps thats what there should be. B!
