So I am the original owner of my 2007 Camry LE and when I purchased the car I also purchased "The Mechanic" extended warranty, as 2007 was a new re-design year, and thought it would be safe to purchase it as insurance. I had no idea how correct I was at the time.
Last March, my car started...
So we all got these AMEX gift cards at work that had 75 points or dollars on them and I ended up using it at two separate restaurants over the past week.

I was at a friends over the weekend we were talking cars as usual, and I brought up the fact that I think you can't find a better car from the factory then a Nissan GT-R for the money.

I recently bought a home in the northwest suburbs of Chicago and I can't help but think how do I use less electricity and less water?

Just got back from seeing The Ghost Writer. Great political thriller with a great plot and good overall story. Nice twist at the end. Highly recommend it to anyone who may want to see a movie this weekend.

I have a Pioneer VSX-815 7.1 receiver hooked up via optical to my PS3 and I stream movies from my PC to my PS3 via PS3 media server. Now, whenever I play a movie on occasion during a loud scene in a movie the receiver will shut itself off and briefly display "OVRLOAD" meaning it was somehow...
I have an Antec 900 case and it has 2 USB ports and 1 Firewire port on the top of it. Now, I have a USB cable that hooks into my iPhone and I usually charge it that way.

From what I can gather Best Buy/Geek Squad/Magnolia or whatever it's called is offering LCD/Plasma/DLP calibrations for TVs for $299. Much more palatable than the $380 some local guys were asking.
Now, my only thing is do these guys know what they are doing. Has anyone here know or had Best...
