Elias @ Boston says, "I spend lots of hours a day coding and some of my projects are growing beyond the point where I can handle the code on my 15inch laptop. What screen or combination of screens would you suggest?" We've got advice on what works best from some of the most talented programmers we know -hint: portrait mode and big monitors are way popular- right down to the desk mount brackets to keep it all CSI Like and where we shop for monitors!
Wondering what's inside the iPad 2, or how hard it might be to repair? Not as bad as the 3DS, says iFixit's Kyle Wiens as he walks us through the guts of the iPad 2 and talks about the innards of the 3DS, DIY repairs and what's new at iFixit!
Smart phones are an extension of our personality in a lot of ways. What apps we choose, what backgrounds, do we jailbreak, run Cydia... you get the idea!

If yes then how? Perhaps there may be some other uses for it too?" How good's your Google Fu, Terry? (Find out why that matters in the video!)

In a recent show we said that the only way to boost Windows performance by turning on the AHCI was to set it in the BIOS and then reinstall Windows. Wrong. Turns out we missed a simple registry hack! Our bad, watch the video to find out just how easy it is to turn on AHCI!
