Now, now guys. I've actually just been sitting back collecting names to ban. ;)

Special Dispensation from Neobond to ban all you naysayers. ;)

On a real note. Was spending the evening with my Significant other shopping for a new TV. Damn I wish I was joking. :: LOL ::

The new one should withstand a puck thrown at it according to the salesman.

You have no idea how cool this thing is. :) I think out the door I ended up spending about $4,200 with the converters and all that but it's a hell of an upgrade from my 32" one. :) Funny thing is, with the converter is does HDTV with no problems, odd they would say it doesn't.

As for my outlook on the Wings? Check my editorial at the begining of this thread. ;)

I've discussed the sticky possbility with an Admin, they didn't think so because Hockey isn't entirely universal. So, we'll just keep it sticky with posts and if things continue on, I'll revisit the issue. :)

About the TV, just finished watching Red Planet on Sci-Fi...

DAMN this thing is nice. ;)

Thinking about moving the iMac in there and hooking it up to the VGA port. ;)

:laugh: haha, i'm actually surprised this thread is already 14 pages. good to see so many hockey fans on neowin. i always thought americans barely noticed hockey existed but this is proving me wrong. up here in canada hockey means so much to us, i would say even more than baseball to americans. :p we're STILL celebrating our olympic gold medal win. lol, u can get dvd's of it in cereal. but we're happy to share the great canadian game with u. eh?

they played awesome tonight but the officiating still sucked... they called way too many penalties

The officiating did suck for both games. Hopefully the refs get the memo that hockey is a contact sport. Cloutier really saved your guy's butt in the 3rd period. Hopefully the refs will let both teams play the rest of the series. Go blues!!!

My question is...

When has the officiating in the NHL NOT sucked. :p

It's a trend lately, the ref's must be paid by the Whistle Blow. :p

They blow it once, they get 500 bucks. Twice, 1000... and so on.

I mean, you DON'T call too many men on the ice in the third period of a PLAYOFF game.

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
