    Just moved to Android from iOS- Is amazon underground app safe?

    Only smart phone I ever had has been iOS. My 5c battery is toast and the lightning port barely works so I just got a 2015 Moto G. Got it yesterday and seem to have most things figured out and the phone setup OK. Other than my Lorex home surveillance app not working :( I have everything I...

    Gran Turismo 5XL

    Just wanted to say that I picked this game up from Amazon for $10 NIB and the included DLC codes worked. They are good till 3/2015. So far for $10 this game is great. The load times aren't that bad (no worse than Forza 2 and 3). Graphics are pretty good. Racing is decent. A lot of tracks, a...

    What happened to Mavericks?

    Thought it was supposed to be this fall. Figured it would be available same time as iOS7 since it's needed for the new keychain/icloud thing.

    iphone 4 to HTC 1X+, LG Optimus G or wait for Nexus 4?

    I'm going to make the leap to android. The iphone 5 left me underwhelmed. My 4 is a little slow and as I get older my eyesight has gotten worse. Would like a bigger screen. So of those 3, HTC and LG $199 on contract. I like both although I like the HTC a little better in looks and the UI...

    Xbox internet connection trouble

    I recently switched from DSL to Cable and now my xbox will not connect. I have the modem going to a wired 4 port router that I have going to 4 pre-wired rooms. In the room with the Xbox I have a 4 port switch (the same as I used when I was connected via dsl). Off that switch I have a PS3 and...

    How do Android phones sync with Mac computers?

    I need to switch from ATT to Verizon due to coverage. I currently am tied to the Apple eco system (which I like) and use an iphone 4. The iphone 5's lack of simultaneous voice and data is a potential deal breaker for me and add that to the connector change and I'm looking at switching to...

    Wasted an entire weekend trying to install Resistance 3

    Redbox rentals. Tried 2 different discs, tried all the "solutions" I could find on the net. Finally got the game installed. Game would start to load, seizure warning screen, insomniac splash screen, then a black screen with a tiny white skull flashing in the lower right corner. That's as...

    Anyway to keep Nook Color from vertically stretching video?

    Just got a NC. Seems pretty nice. Screen is very nice. The videos I convert with handbrake are no where near 480 pixels vertically and the Nook player stretches them. I don't want to root at this time. Is there any way to keep the videos from being stretched? And why can I only access...

    Tekken 6 Kind of disappointing :-(

    I have Tekken DR for my PSP and I LOVE that game. I just got Tekken 6 for my 360. I read some of the reviews so I kind of new what I was getting but it's still pretty disappointing. DR has WAY more content. The story mode is pretty good. Each one is unique. The "arcade" mode I like...

    NFS Shift vs FM3

    I demoed both games. NFS Shift gives a much better sensation of speed, has a better in car view (the driver actually shifts) crash damaged seems to be better modeled. I don't know about different cars and tracks though. Only one major drawback- it's like driving on jello. The car is all over...

    Tekken 6 Anyone interested?

    Did a search and found no threads on it. Tekken DR is the only game I play on my PSP. And Tekken 6 will be the only game I have or will buy at full retail when it comes out. I've demoed all the other fighters and just can't get into them. I just don't see the appeal of SFIV. Anyway...

    Gears of War 2- Awesome!

    Bought Gears 1 used for $15 a few months ago. Finished it the other week. It was OK. Cheezy and "cheap" boss battles were tiresome. Rented Gears 2 about 6 months ago, never got to finish it. Finished it this weekend. I have to say IMO it was way, way better than the first. Besides the...

    Dell XPS Gen 4 question

    My 3.6 P4 is getting a little long in the tooth. Funds are limited (as usual). Ideally I would like to replace the MB and processor, either one of the lower cost C2D quads or a Phenom II X4. I want to reuse everything else, ATI Radeon X850 (I use an Xbox 360 for newer games), 2 HDDs, 2 DVD...

    Xbox 360 wireless adapter ?

    That's basically it. Can I use any USB wifi "antenna", "receiver" etc... or is there some kind of firmware on the M$ version that is needed for it to work. I'm not interested in using a wireless to ethernet bridge/adapter. Thanks Gene

    Looking for retail 8 core Xeon w/ Vista 64

    I'm having a hard time finding many or any manufacturers that offer dual quad core setups for Windows. I want it with Vista 64 as well. I've been looking at the Mac Pro as well. As much as I like OSX, I'm leary of the hardware tie in and the lag of current hardware available. So any...
