    Thoughts on HDR & OLED

    I'll be near a Microcenter tomorrow, so I'll stop in and see what they've got. I really only need 1080p, but I'm seeing the 9500 and 9600 dropping in price as well, so also an option I suppose.

    Thoughts on HDR & OLED

    Where is it down to this price level? We're talking the LG EG9100, right? Amazon currently has this model for a hair under $1450. If a reputable dealer has it for close to $1K, I'll be all over it.

    Edit: GONE - not looking back: Have you ever bought a new car and hated it...

    I bought a 2008 Honda Accord EX-L V-6 new after having test driven an EX V-6 (no leather). I paid particular attention to the engine behavior on the test drive, since Honda had started using VCM on the Accord V-6's for the first time in 2008. The VCM was advertised as being seamless, and the...

    Is it totaled?

    They both had the green light, with the other car needing to yield before turning left. The car got t-boned because he didn't wait until it was clear to turn. The same thing happened to me years ago when a teen driver misjudged being able to make the turn safely. Luckily he got further through...

    Uh this? "I did everything I was supposed to do but the clutch keeps under-performing," Hamilton said. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/formula1/33217913

    Official 2015 Formula One Thread!

    I read where Hamilton is now blaming his loss on a faulty clutch. He's a great racer, but I lose respect for him when he can't accept that he was simply beat on equal terms on a particular day. Rosberg simply had a great race today, plain and simple.

    I wouldn't touch McLaren either, at least not this year.

    Yeah, Horner is such a hypocrite. He certainly wouldn't have advocated such a thing when Red Bull was riding high.

    Am I crazy for wanting a 2015 Chevrolet SS?

    I was checking the SS out at a local dealer, and I found it interesting that it is offered in three different shades of green. I kinda like that lighter green color, but they didn't have one to see in the flesh. Nice car AdamK47! I'd be interested to hear your thoughts after having it for a...

    Am I crazy for wanting a 2015 Chevrolet SS?

    One of the local dealers have a couple on their lot, and I was actually pretty attracted to the Mystic Green color. I found it interesting that there are three different green colors available on the SS.

    Gorgeous car! I honestly think I would pick up one of these before I would a Corvette.

    Sennheiser HD650 headphones - $290 Amazon

    Well, if the clamping force is a bit too much, might I recommend you gently work on pulling them outwards a bit at a time to relieve the tension? Careful though, as you don't want to get carried away. Alternatively, check out the Beyerdynamic DT880 headphones for a set of nice open cans. I...
