WD slims down SSD to squeeze into little Black drive range

Re: What sort of motherboard slot?

M2 slots can be found on some of the newer motherboards, the PCI bit means it uses PCI lanes (faster) opposed to sata lanes (slower), as you can also get m2 sata ssd's.

DreamWorks CEO: Movie downloaders should pay by screen size

tekgun

"DreamWorks reported a loss of $42.9m for the quarter, with most of that attributable to its film business."

Yea if you believe in "hollywood accounting" like how the Order of the Phoenix raked in +$900 million yet WB were still $167million out of pocket, yea right lying barstewards.

Really interesting article, however I think you mean Indilinx not "Indilinks", I only know because the first SSD I bought in 2009 was a Corsair X64 which has a Indilinx controller in it. Great bit of kit It's still going strong now.

Ubisoft: 'Vast majority of PC gamers are PIRATES'

Facepalm

They just don't get it.

Omfg, how retarded is this company. Don't they realise all they are doing is alienating the people that would buy their product if they weren't such twats and stopped coming out with BS like this along with their crappy DRM which obviously only works to annoy the paying customer.

"Ubisoft reckons just one in ten PC gamers legitimately source games, using the figure as justification for a move towards more free-to-play and web browser-based titles."

I don't pirate games, and I won't install Ubisoft games even if they are free, basically because you're a crap company.

What excuse are they going to use if they do go free-to-play and still they make no money.

I get the feeling the FBI will have a harder time extraditing these two than they will Richard O'Dwyer.

Microsoft: Don't overclock Windows 8 unless you like our new BSOD

tekgun

It doesn't even mention Windows 8 in the report.

Windows

If the hardware is stable then what difference does the OS make? or are they just stating the obvious, that unstable hardware will crash eventually.

No one watches TV, Nielsen, and you know it

"Adverts are not only here to stay, but they are proliferating, and form a bedrock of revenue that prevents consumers from bearing the full financial cost of content creation."

Surely this should read "and form a bedrock of revenue that maximises profit from the consumer."

Or else the BBC are doing it wrong, not that I suffer TV adverts personally. There is more than adequate technology available to avoid them when watching the few programs I want to see.

I need to multitask, but Windows 8's Metro won't let me

Microsoft ejects DVD playback from Windows 8

Re: Say NO! To DRM!

Does DRM magically disappear from a DVD when put in a Linux box then?

I didn't realise this was fact, after just completing Space Marine it must be only a matter of time before I go apeshit.

Seagate, WD should put a gun to Brussels' head

tekgun

Problem is...

Both Samsung and Hitachi want out of the HDD market, WD and Seagate are not forcing them to sell up, so what are the EU going to do exactly?

They can't make a company continue something it doesn't want to do, even if they stop the mergers who's to say another company is going to be interested in buying, Samsung was apparently working at a loss in the HDD sector as it is.

Perhaps the EU should force some random company to start making graphics cards because of the lack of competitiveness in that market as well!
