  1. Re:Features I want First. on 50+ Android Phones Expected In Near Future · · Score: 1
    Before you do that, you might want to check out the verizon droid

    A decent processor!

    I think the current available phones have a 520mhz processor. The Android software seems to run at an accetptable speed (since the os was updated to 1.5?) but I imagine any apps would be limited by the speed of the processor.

    droid should have a 600Mhz ARM Cortex A8 processor and dedicated GPU

    A camera flash!

    I do not understand why many of the phones contain a 3 or 5 megapixel camera but no flash!

    droid has a 5mp camera with flash, and they claim to have a "low lightcapable camera", although i'm skeptical about that one.

    A physical keyboard!

    I know this will add bulk to the phone

    and a slide-out keyboard in a phone 2mm thicker than the iphone

  2. Re:Civilization IV on Holiday Gaming Potpourri · · Score: 1

    Besides the fan-made patch (which works pretty well for me), you can make the auto-saves more frequent - edit the AutoSaveInterval value in CivilizationIV.ini.

    The patch is being discussed on civfanatics.com also. It seems to help a lot of people.

  3. Re:giant full-color ad banners and bloated interfa on Preview of New MSN Hotmail · · Score: 1

    Ironically, the most frustrating part of gmail for me is their search feature. The search is almost useless because it doesn't support word stems - if my email has the word "cows" and I search for "cow", it won't find it.

    I don't understand why they didn't just apply the full google search algorithm to gmail. Having the "Did you mean?" feature from google would be useful too.

  4. Re:My Gmail invite got put into my spam folder... on Hotmail Blocks Gmail Emails (and Invites) · · Score: 1

    That doesn't mean anything without knowing how well your spambayes has been trained. Spambayes filtering depends completely on each user...

    I haven't had any legitimate mail (including my gmail invite) put into my spam folder by spambayes ever since the first couple weeks I used it.

    (My spambayes currently has 1057 good and 1061 spam in its database)

  5. Re:$1400!? Try $100! on Tom's Reviews Expensive, Noiseless Case · · Score: 1

    I have a couple of the single-fan controls that dangle inside the case - they're made by zalman. They basically just have a knob that varies your voltage from 5v to 12v. I found them at sharkacorp.com and plycon.com"> Both of those sites have a other components for noise reduction also...
