    Moto Razr, HTC Rezound or wait for Galaxy Nexus?

    Here is a size comparison: http://www.geek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rezound-dimensions1.png When I went into the Verizon store a few days ago the attendent pretty much told me to wait for the nexus. Almost all of the sources I can find predict it will hit stores within a week. I have...

    New recording need: Handwritten lectures. The boundary mic works GREAT but it is USB and needs to plugged in to the computer. I am enrolling in a math class and want to take handwritten notes. Is there a good device out there that I can record using the usb mic that does not have to sit on...

    Recording Lectures from Audience: Boundary or Condenser USB mic?

    The mxl-ac 404 is great, in case anyone has a similar recording need. It does a fantastic job of pocking up voices and is a solid piece of equipment.

    Recording Lectures from Audience: Boundary or Condenser USB mic?

    Thanks for the suggestions. The blue Snowball is not discreet enough for my needs. I decided on the MXL AC-404 because it actually has 3 elements rather than 1 like the CAD u7, and Boundary mics in general are tuned to pick up speech from a distance whereas the Samson works best if you are...

    Recording Lectures from Audience: Boundary or Condenser USB mic?

    Edit: RESULTS Boundary mic for the win!!!! So I decided on a boundary mic. I got a good deal on an MXL AC-404 and I could not be happier. My recordings sound as if I were sitting in the classroom. Occasionally I hear a loud sneeze or cough, but mainly I hear voices. This microphone also has...

    what to use for boot / OS drive?

    Not to threadjack but I had a similar question. What is the best boot drive for under $100? My in store fry's has the 64gb Kingston for $89.99 after the $30 mail in rebate. My current system/situation: I am installing win 7 on my desktop and I would like to buy a new HD because I am worried...

    Logitech MX518 - $19.95 A/R

    They have the G9x for $40 now after rebate if you missed out on that deal. At the Walnut Creek Fry's they were out of stock of the mx518 and then the next morning they had a ton of them. Funny how that works.

    Sandisk Sansa c250 2GB MP3 Player (Recertified)

    I bought one! Thanks for the heads up. I thought my (probable) first and last posts on Fusetalk should be about getting in on MP3 player deals. It's funny that the first one was even more exciting than this deal. It was half off using "value dollars" at Value America (I miss that .com...

    HDTV USB portable receiver $99

    I bought the db4 from some people on craigslist for $30 and it worked amazingly! It is just like that one but twice the size. I bought an HDTV tuner off of ebay for about$50 that was similar to the one in the opening post but not as fancy. It was kinda slow in the menus but I recorded the...

    Run on the Banks

    Dude, I like totally see where you are coming from with this. Insurers sound pretty shady. If you check out their website, it looks pretty official though... They should make like, reseller ratings but for bank insurers. Check this one out: http://www.fdic.gov/

    Express fashion is having a nice sale

    They had some fitted 1mx but most of them were gone. This is only the clearance for the "old" batch of stuff, even though some of the new stuff is exactly the same. For example there might be two identical 1mx yellow shirts but one is clearance and the other is not as it is part of the new...
