    Kindle question

    It is painful, but it does work. I've used it to successfully find a nearby coffee shop through google maps.

    New Smartphone on Verizon

    Wow. I haven't run across Costco's wireless store before, but their exchange windows looks awesome, even a bit too good to be true. Am I missing something, or has anyone used their service before? If not, that seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. I can buy now, and then upgrade in ~3...

    New Smartphone on Verizon

    I'm eligible for a new phone on Verizon, and want to make it my first smartphone. Unfortunately, I'd like to get it in the next week or two so that I'll have a smartphone before I drive/camp across the country and start grad school. Unfortunately, it looks like now is the worst time to be...

    "you may be eligible to receive a new ATI graphics card"

    Has anyone heard anything from this? I just stumbled upon the paperwork for it again and it seems as though it should have been settled by now.

    Intel Core 2010: Arrandale and Clarkdale

    I'm really looking forward to the LV and ULV arrandale chips + discrete graphics card, assuming systems using them with working switchable graphics can come out by early January. Hopefully?!

    international edition textbook?

    So it's the time of year where I have to spend $$$ on textbooks but I'm thinking of buying international editions to save a decent amount of money. Has anyone had any experiences with them? Specifically, do they have the same problems? Thanks!

    Multimeter?

    I actually was hoping to be able to use this in school (taking some E&M classes next semester) and the like. I was thinking of getting the 61-312 from Ideal (http://www.idealindustries.com...tail.do?prodId=61-312) 'cause it goes for about $30 and seems to have everything I'll be needing...

    Multimeter?

    Cool, thanks for the suggestions. Is there any way to get a sense of the accuracy of a given multimeter besides knowing the brand?

    Multimeter?

    I need to check out the alternator on my car so I figured this would be a good excuse to finally buy a multimeter. I'm going to school for engineering so I'll probably be using it for school projects, computer stuff, and working on my car. Ideally I'd like to spend less than $50. I'd love...

    Sadly I have to go with Verizon, so only CDMA for me ... no sony walkman things.

    mp3 player / cell phone

    I need to get a new cell phone and I've been looking into getting a mp3 player for a while, so I've been thinking of just trying to combine the two. I don't need much in the way of storage capacity for an mp3 player as I don't think I'll use it too much, I have about 2gb of music I regularly...

    7900 driver

    I just bought a 7900gs off a friend of mine. I switched from an ATI card, so I'm not used to the whole nvidia driver scene. What are the best drivers to use for the card? I want performance, but not if it comes at the sake of a lot of stability (ie, I'm fine with using beta or non-whql...
