Dell finally figured out how to make a laptop as thin as a Macbook. I see this in my future.
and damn is it something.

Dell officially unveils Precision M3800 workstation at SIGGRAPH, gives rumored specs a nod

Remember that Haswell-powered Dell workstation that popped up last week? The company is officially ready to acknowledged its silicon, announcing on its corporate blog that the machine is being unveiled at SIGGRAPH this week. Dell is still reluctant to get into specifics, but confirmed on a teaser page that the Precision M3800 would contain a 4th Generation Intel Core-i7 CPU, NVIDIA Quadro graphics and a 3,200 x 1,800 QHD+ multi-touch IGZO display. Even better, all that is set to fit into a tight 0.7-inch chassis that weighs in at 4.5 pounds. Mum's still the word on specifics, but previous leaks assigned the machine 15GB of RAM and either a 1TB HDD or a 512GB SSD. Dell hasn't let the workstation's price slip either, but we don't expect it to be cheap -- nothing thin and powerful ever is.

I'm losing my marbles here. So I have a dual monitor setup at this station at work. Left monitor is perfect color. Right one has a blue tint.
I've adjusted the right monitor OSD settings to everything possible, the blue tint remains. I've changed the DVI cable, nada. I swapped the DVI cables between the monitors, expecting left show blue tint now and the right one to be perfect - well Windows is being a smartass and remembers the identity of the monitors when I swap, so this did nothing! I've replaced the monitor with a different one, same blue tint on the replacement. o_O
What the f@ is going on. Swapping DVI ports - no difference. Swapping monitors - no difference. Replacing DVI cables - nothing. I connected one monitor (the right one by itself), same blue effen tint. It's like it knows when I connect everything but the left monitor. What kind of voodoo is this shit? Ideas?
Basic AMD 7700 GPU - nothing fancy, but if it was not working, swapping ports would have showed the difference right away. Windows is fucking with me? I've tried 3 other monitors, so it's not the monitor.

Is there a way to adjust color setting in AMD Catalyst control software. They should give you advanced settings to tweak color profile or gamma or whatever it is that's causing the issue.

uh, does anyone know how to fix jadeclick IE search redirect? I checked all the regular stuff and am unable to fix it. Have tried Spybot, Malware Bytes, Superantispyware, TDSkiller, Combofix, but I didn't try the first 3 in Safe mode - not sure that would make a difference... also checked various other things as recommended at sites... but this bugger just won't go away.... 
thanks in advance for any help

no way. I never have trouble like this with personal machines. :p
that thing is sweet as hell btw, I use it as an ultra-portable photo editing workstation - I can run all of the photo programs I use on my desktop and bigger laptop on it, pleasantly.

Anyone know of a good 3rd party SSD Optimization TRIM tool for XP? I bought a San Disk SSD for a client and they don't make any SSD software, they said to use 3rd party tools but didn't bother to recommend any. 
I don't think you can run Intel's SSD Toolbox on non Intel SSDs...

Hate this crap.. why the F would I want to download the stupid app when I can download the mp3 directly at the below link? Too bad many people will click to download the app just because they don't know to click below. This is Amazon taking advantage of those people, by making them download the app. hate companies that do that. (This is Amazon btw)

Put windows 8.1 (or at least I believe its the 8.1 preview version) on my macbook pro last night. Haven't tested it out yet really, but will be doing that whenever I need to use windows.
Whats the main difference between 8 and 8.1?
