    Does the PS4 browser have any limitations? Could you watch TV show websites through?

    The PS4 doesn't have apps for a lot of TV channels, but can you use the PS4 browser to go onto a TV channel website (ie, ABC, NBC, FOX, etc) and watch TV shows there (ie, something you could do on your computer)? Has anybody tried it? Does it work with or without hiccups? Can you watch full...

    Quiet car in the used, non-luxury segment, hatchback preferred

    I, and I think most people here, were trying to be realistic with what levels of quietness could be obtained given the other constraints.

    Quiet car in the used, non-luxury segment, hatchback preferred

    Thanks for the replies so far. gus6464, how come you don't like VW's? kitatech, I have nothing against Camry's, but they are a bit big and I don't see any 2005-06 versions in my area. What happened with the 2007-11 version?

    Quiet car in the used, non-luxury segment, hatchback preferred

    Hello, I'm in need of a car but am no car junkie. I value quiet interiors above all (including engine noise, road noise, wind noise), especially on the freeway. I also would like good gas mileage. I live in California and do not travel in the snow. I am perfectly fine with FWD. I don't care...

    Can you use a Guitar Hero microphone as a regular headset mic (xbox)

    Hi, I'm wondering if I can use a guitar hero microphone like this as the microphone for other games instead of a regular headset. I'd want to talk into that and then have the headset volume come in through the TV/speakers. I'm trying to avoid using a headset (for reasons I'd rather not get...

    RCA splitter to convert stereo to mono?

    Hi, Is there any danger in using an RCA splitter to convert a stereo signal into a mono one? ie, left and right output from a source -> RCA splitter -> mono input of receiver Would that work?

    Any high capacity (> 60 GB) mp3 players to consider besides iPod classic?

    CurseTheSky, Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm feeling limited by 60 GB already (the last year I've basically been having to find something to delete in order to add something new), so I don't think I'd go with that route. Thanks Anubis for that thread. Looks like I'll be stuck with...

    Any high capacity (> 60 GB) mp3 players to consider besides iPod classic?

    Hi, My 60 GB iPod (5th gen - video) seems to be dying and I may be in need of a replacement. It seems like most mp3 players these days are using solid state memory, and thus tend to be on the smaller side, capacity-wise. What high capacity (hard drive-based, I'm guessing) mp3 players are...

    Yeah... Daigo retired from fighting games when 3S was all there was. He un-retired when SF4 came out.

    Be patient. There is an adjustment period. There are youtube videos of how to hold sticks. Here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsME37GrqjY I think Daigo shows how he holds a stick in the first video here: http://shoryuken.com/content.php?r=831-Umehara-on-the-News

    I can't comment on the sharper edge of the SSFIV stick, but the actual parts are all the same. Sanwa buttons and Sanwa joystick. If this is your first stick, I strongly, strongly urge you to stick with it. There's a learning curve, and while it's not thaaaat hard to adapt, it can be...

    Yargh that sucks. I wasn't really planning on playing it anyway, but that's pretty disappointing. I'm pretty much playing only endless battle (as Chun, when I have an hour or so available) or Ranked (if I don't have too long to play... I'm trying to do the C to Shining C achievement). That...

    Nice. Yeah, I usually just play online, but I enjoy doing combos so if I'm doing stuff like watching TV, I practice trials at the same time (which is convenient ever since I got the Evo monitor). I know what you mean about finishing Balrog in 5 minutes. I main Chun and I did hers in 5...

    just for kicks poll: do you own a console?

    What frustrates me most is how so many people do not understand or do not respect that people are different. People have different opinions and different priorities. For some people, games that are exclusively on console make buying a console worthwhile. There is nothing wrong about this...

    Editing mp3 tag data in WMP doesn't change actual mp3 file?

    Yeah it seems like WMP has its own database. The other issue I was having is that apparently the field that WMP looks at for "album artist" is actually "band" (or so it seems). So when I was editing the tags in foobar, I was editing "album artist" when I should have created a new field...

    Editing mp3 tag data in WMP doesn't change actual mp3 file?

    I'm trying to edit mp3 tag data (adding album artist data for sharing purposes) in windows media player. If I do it from media player, I can edit the data and WMP detects the change (which it should), but the actual mp3 file does not seem to be affected. If I load up the mp3 into foobar, it's...

    Quick question: how does a network switch work?

    Here's my situation: I have a 4-port router that I have no problems with, but I need more ports. I only have a couple minimum-latency required devices (for gaming), so I was thinking of adding this D-Link 5-Port Desktop Switch. It's cheap and I don't need anything fancy. The word "switch"...

    No problem. That just selects which of the d-pad, left stick, and right stick (ie, on a regular controller) you want the joystick to be hooked up to (since it can only be hooked up to one). On my 360 stick, it says "LS-DP-RS": left stick, d-pad, right stick. I've heard some people say that...

    I'd get it on PS3 without hesitation also. Forward the right ports on your router or just set up a DMZ for the PS3.
