    How game changing is 3D touch?

    Simply, yes. If this is a one off purchase that you'd don't intend to replace for a few years the hot e6s is a safe purchase. If you're likely to buy next year's iPhone as well, then it might be worth sticking with what you have. Then again... The S lines of iPhones are the ones that keep...

    First Car - '96 Jetta or '96 Eclipse or Other

    I know I should, but I don't have a problem getting my hands dirty if that's what it'll take, and as much as a car is supposed to be a point a to point b thing, I want something with some kind of style, and Corolla's and sedans really just aren't what I'm looking for.

    First Car - '96 Jetta or '96 Eclipse or Other

    Right, so here's the deal. I'm gonna be getting my first car soon and I need some help determining what I want. Here's what I need though: A car that will last a while. Will go 250 miles on one tank (less ideally) (actually make it that far too). A car that is easy to repair (I'm going to...

    Anyone watch Numb3rs? Know music?

    You are fantastic. I mustn't have searched google right because that certainly didn't show up. Cheers! :beer:

    Anyone watch Numb3rs? Know music?

    Alright. There is a really cool song at the beginning of this episode that plays over the kidnapping of the two girls and the father of Porter. I think that's the right facts anyway. Did anyone watch this episode and can tell me the name and artist of this song? It has a chorus of "Get Sound"...

    Thinking about switching to apple

    While its true that Macs do video very well, the problem is that the speed of an encoding will be determined by the power of the processor and Macbooks are at the lower end of the spectrum. It'll still convert and it'll be pretty quick but certainly not as fast as a a Macbook Pro.

    Thinking about switching to apple

    I'd suggest, for what you seem to want, a basic Macbook configuration will suit. It's cheap, functional and reliable. And I wouldn't worry about switching from Windows to Leopard, I'm positive you'll find it quick and easy to get used to (there's not that much difference really). The most you'll...

    Is the Air for you?

    I'd think that its quite plain that the Air isn't designed for uses such as plugging in your video camera and editing your movies, or running that Windows VM. It's on par with a Mac Mini: all the basics covered. Word processing, watching movies, listening to music, traveling, browsing the web...

    Office 2008 yet?

    I really like Office 2008. It's not much of an update from 2004, granted, but at least now it's native as said above. I used Pages for a semester before getting 2008, and I think it's about a tie between those two. Whatever you do, I'd lose 2004, but if it's Pages or Office, I'd go for Pages.

    Guitar Tablature to Piano

    Alright, so I've been trying to play many of The Killers songs on the piano and since I don't believe/I can't find any sheet music books out there for them (especially B-Sides), I have to rely on the Tabs on the internet. The problem is that they are for guitar, and I don't play the guitar or...

    Easiest way to open a Kensington Combination Lock?

    I've already emailed support and I'm waiting for them to get back to me. I was just wondering if someone else has had a similar problem and solved it.

    Easiest way to open a Kensington Combination Lock?

    I just bought a Kensington ComboSaver Combination Portable Notebook Lock. I don't know many Notebooks that aren't portable, but that's ok. Anyway, set up was a bit confusing and I wound up setting the combination to something that I have absolutely no idea what it is. Now I can't get back to...

    Best fridge for under $100

    So I'm about to go back to school and my new roommate is going to get the TV which leaves me in charge of the fridge. I don't have a clue what to get, I wasn't planning on getting one actually but whatever. I need a dorm size fridge for as cheap as I can go. I've got $100 but I really don't want...
