    Magnetic Car Dock with Note 5? Other car docks?

    I love using my Mountek magnetic CD-mounted car dock with my Note 3. As my phone is long in the tooth, I plan on upgrading to the Note 6. Since there is no removable back, (damn it!) I was wondering if the metal body would stick to the car mount. Has anyone tried? Does a magnet stick to...

    PC Gaming Keyboard Recommedation

    I bought the very first line of Logitech "G" series keyboard, with the little flip up screen, but it's almost dead. I never really used the extra functions, or the screen, but they were nice to have, I guess. I did like the media controls. I bought a cheapo Aula KB, just to try a highly...

    Samsung Note 5 Rumors

    http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-note-5-rumor-roundup-623318/ I've been worried since the Galaxy S series removed the battery and SD storage. The primary reason i bought the Note 3 was the perfect blend of features. It was everything my Nexus 3 wasn't. I bought it on release...

    Bargain Receiver Opinions

    I'm done with Onkyo. At least for a few years. I bought a TX-NR509 in 2009 and already had it warrantied for HDMI failure complete sound loss. Well, it just died again. I think I'm covered by 1 year warranty and will return it, but it shall be my new basement gaming receiver, if it lives...

    What are your favorite games you can't stop revisiting?

    I'm knee deep in at least 5 AAA games which I love dearly. Great Kickstarters like Wasteland 2 and Pillars of Eternity are some of the best new games of the decade as far as I'm concerned. I'm also 3/4 the way through The Stick of Truth. I like just about all generas of games, but prefer...

    Vehicle Combat! Carmegeddeon Released! (Now, where's Road Rash?)

    I Kickstarted Camegeddeon: Reincarnation and finally played for about an hour. I liked it, and plan on spending some time with it. Looks like pretty lukewarm reviews from Metacritic. Is anyone else playing? Oddly enough I never played the old games. (until this year) These came out...

    Toejam and Earl: Back in the Groove

    Minecraft Mod Manager

    My daughter is playing the vanilla version of Minecraft and, of course, would like some mods. I'm no stranger to the modding community, I've modded Skyrim, Fallout, etc... However, I was never heavy into it... Life is always nicer with a good mod manager, but you always see debates on which...

    Far Cry 4 - Escape From Durgesh Prison DLC

    Just a quick note to everyone who likes Far Cry 4, but didn't pick up this DLC. I bought the Season Pass for a heavy discount, and played through the game. At first I didn't even notice "Escape" was a standalone game from main menu, and not integrated into the game. I'm not pleased with...

    Has anyone had any luck with a cheap Chinese tablet?

    I bought my 6 year old a Kyocera Hydro Android phone for her to use as a wifi device. She's uses it for Minecraft Pocket Edition, YouTube, and Netflix. (And loves it) The phone's screen is really small, 3.5" I believe. I have a nice laptop and Note 3 for my myself, so I'm not interested in...

    Gaming Mouse Recommendations

    My last two mice have been higher-end Logitechs. MX and Performance. My Performance mouse's clicker is starting to die, and it's out of warranty. If money was no object, I'd get a RAT9, but I just can't justify spending that much. I'm looking at the Logitech G602. It's on sale...

    Verizon Note 3 Day!

    Any other nerds heading to the store today? I took a 1/2 at work to go out and get it. I'm leaving work at 9 AM (I come in at 6) and the Verizon store opens at 10AM. I didn't want to pre-order, because I was afraid of a shipping issue or DOA phone. (However, if I would have noticed the...

    Verizon Note2/Note3 Questions...

    I'm still running my GNex with unlimited data on Verizon. I want to upgrade to a Note 3 on release. My account has a few smartphones with 2gb data plans ready for upgrades. Can I still do a switch-a-roo and keep my unlimited data? Last I heard, people were still doing that. I love to...

    Verizon User Upgrading From 3G to 4G Phone Keeping "Unlimited"

    My friend has a Droid X, and wants to keep his unlimited data. If he were to BYOD and upgrade to a 4G phone, would the adding of the 4G sim constitute a "change" and ruin his plan? I guess I wonder the same thing about my wife's iPhone 4S. Will she be able to keep unlimited data when she...

    The waiting game...

    I was due for a Verizon upgrade in November '10. I was using a Samsung Omnia. (WinMo 6.1) While I was checking out what phone to move to, someone gave me a free Droid1. What a difference! This gave me much more patience to research the perfect upgrade for me. I was leaning towards a...

    Bluetooth headset for Music/Podcasts

    There's a such a mountain of headsets to research. I bought a Samsung WEP870 because it was cheap and relatively well reviewed. The only killer is there is no "pause" button on the headset. Does anyone have a good recommendation on decent, but moderately priced BT headset? Under $100...

    Android Music Apps

    I just obtained my first android phone (Droid 1) as a stopgap until the Bionic arrives. Everything is obviously nicer than my old Omnia1, except the music player! Can anyone recommend a player that will reliably resume playback? I listen to a lot of long podcasts this is really getting on...

    Batman: AA

    I know this is old news, but valuable for anyone who hasn't played it yet. After a dozen starts and stops since it was released, I finally sat down for the last few weeks and played it to completion. Bravo! Jesus, why can't all PC gaming be this good. I'm not a comic guy at all...

    Fisherman! Huge Clearance at Walmart. Rapalas $5. Lots More. (YMMV of course)

    I hadn't been down the WalMart clearance isle in a while, because there's usually no good deals. As I wandered through and it appeared they moved 1/3 of the fishing isle, but the GOOD STUFF. All the Rapalas were $5 including XRAPs. (Not a bad deal as the majority of my better ones are now...

    What five games have eaten the most of your life?

    1. WoW (PC) and I didn't even play as hardcore as most addicts 2. Battlefield 1942 (PC) 3. Unreal Tournament 1 (PC) 4. Street Fighter 2 (Arcade, SNES) 5. Alternate Reality City/Dungeon (Atari 800, Commodore 64) If I could have the time back that spent on these suckers, I'd be MUCH younger!

    Happy Wound! Edit: (Scratch, actually)

    I bought a crappy projector. It'll be here soon, so I needed to piece together a screen of some sort. I went to Salvation Army and found an OLD SCHOOL tripod style 4'X4' screen for $2.99! Good enough for temporary use. I also found a HUGE blackout shade. This may work better, it may not...
