There has been much speculation about what the next version of the iPhone will look like. It seems as though quite a few people don't like the prototype pictured on Gizmodo this week. Which of these iPhone mock-ups do you like the best?

So my friend created a website today that uses JavaScript to implement a cover flow effect when you scroll the mouse wheel. When I went to the site using Chrome on my laptop, which is somewhat slow by today's standards (2 GHz Turion), the image scrolling was pretty slow. I tried it in Firefox...
So I want to build a home audio system and connect it to my computer. I will have either 8 or 10 in-ceiling speakers spread throughout the house. Each of 4 or 5 rooms will have a pair of speakers controlled by one of these.
Does anyone have any experience with in-ceiling speakers? Can you...
So my dad is finishing his basement himself and I'm helping out with the computer and multimedia aspects. Here's a rough layout of the basement showing where speakers (red) will be placed in the ceiling. The speaker placement isn't very important at this point. I need ideas for controlling the...
I was browsing the Mozilla ftp site and found that RC 1 candidates have already been compiled. If you're like me and can't wait a couple more days, here's the link...
Firefox Setup 3.5 RC 1.exe
edit: On second thought, why get RC 1 when you can get...

For all you AutoPager users out there, I was surprised to find there was no configuration for [H]ard|OCP articles, so I created one. You should be receiving the update soon. :D
For those who have never tried AutoPager for Firefox, I strongly suggest you give it a go!

Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme are both commemorating the holiday by giving out free doughnuts.
To get your freebee at Dunkin' Donuts, you'll need to buy a drink. But there are no strings attached at Krispy Kreme.
Enjoy! :cool:
So I was sitting here today and it suddenly dawned on me that most the CPU utilization meters I've seen for i7 are flawed, and the ones that do get it right don't have pretty bar charts. Most of them show utilization for 8 separate threads (which they mistakenly call cores), which is fine if you...
VANTEC NexStar CX 3.5" Aluminum SATA to USB 2.0 External Enclosure (NST-300S2-BK)
It's marked down from $29.99 to $17.99 and you get another 20% off all external enclosures right now if you buy it in store, which brings the price to $14.39 + tax.
It's $22.99 + shipping on Newegg, and gets...
BenQ V2400W
The V2400W is a 24 LCD monitor with a native resolution of 1920x1200. It sports a TN panel and has an MSRP of $499. However, at the time of this review the V2400W is on sale directly from BenQ for $409.
Before I get started, I would like to point out that no calibration was...
I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I think it would be cool to have a Mobile Phones section on [H]ard|Forum. After all, mobile phones are basically mini computers these days.
It could be a section to discuss the phones themselves and the operating systems and software that...
So I just stumbled upon this and thought a few people might be interested. The OS looks very polished and well laid out. Check out the screenshots too.

This is a retail box too, which comes with PowerDVD, a SATA cable, and an alternate faceplate (silver).
For comparison, Newegg has the OEM version for $148 shipped.
Edit: The price seems to be fluctuating back and forth between $115 and $120.
So I was at Best Buy today and I saw four new large monitors. There were three 25.5" monitors by LG, Samsung, and Westinghouse, and a Hannspree 27.5".
The good news is that 25.5" seems to be the new 24" and large monitors are becoming more popular. The bad news is that every single one of...
This is probably the hottest LCD deal this year! This monitor is not a budget monitor like the 24" Acer, Westinghouse, and Soyo. This is a high end monitor with a P-MVA panel and a lot of features from one of the best names in the business.
It's currently selling for $619 at Newegg, so this...
While there seems to be a lot of free CD/DVD burning software out there, I haven't been able to find anything that I really love.
I've used FinalBurner Free and I've heard some people mention ImgBurn and CDBurnerXP.
Update
The results so far are...
Imgburn - 14
CDBurnerXP - 5...
My local Walmart had a couple Sony BDP-300 Blu-Ray players on clearance for $200. The boxes looked a little shoddy so I don't know if they were opened and returned or if Walmart is just trying to get rid of them.
So today I bought an LG L246WP (May 2007 build date) to compare side by side to my Gateway FHD2400 (September 2007 build date). I thought I would quickly share my findings here to help out anyone else considering these two monitors. I won't go into much detail because quite frankly it didn't...
