    Do the Jaybird Bluebuds X have a worthy competitor yet?

    I'm currently looking at the Plantronics Backbeat GO 2 at half the price. They don't seem to be as good...but still, half the price. I'm pretty sure I'll pick them up but wanted to see if anyone thought I should look at another set.

    I'm about to bake my motherboard in attempt to reflow the gpu, any tips?

    Is there anything on a laptop motherboard that can't stand the heat? I've taken everything off that has screws including the CPU clip. There are some black plastic sheet like things covering half of it, should those come off? They look like some form of shielding or insulation.

    Uploading entire photo collection to Flickr. Downsides?

    I figured this topic would be best fit here since the reason behind this is to view photos on TVs, phones, and computers. Right now our current setup for handling photos is: -All home photos are stored on a local server -When we want to view photos on a TV, we use the Plex app via Roku -When...

    Are there any Windows RT tablets with a digitizer coming out?

    I've come to the conclusion that Windows RT can handle 95% of my work load when I'm away from a full computer. But I'd like something with a digitizer to take notes with. My understanding is that RT supports styluses, but I haven't seen any manufactures support a digitizer.

    I just added memory to a Dell Inspiron 620 and am having weird results in regards to the video card. I have a GT 430 in there. When the video card is removed, the computer displays normally through the onboard HDMI port. But when I add the video card into the mix, the bios screen shows, and the...

    What's the best way to organize poorly tagged foreign music in iTunes?

    I have perfectly tagged American music and extremely poorly tagged foreign music in my collection. I'm trying to find the best way to organize it so it doesn't turn into a jumbled mess when I use iOS devices as remotes. Right now they all mix together. For example, is there a way to stick all...

    Suggestions for a home server build?

    Here is some background: 1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. It will function as a home server intended for streaming 1080p video, MP3s and file storage (documents, photos, etc.) 2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as...

    How often does UPS recycle their tracking numbers?

    I got a shipping notification from Monoprice this morning and after tracking it, it says: Delivered On: Tuesday, 09/22/2009 at 3:04 P.M. Left At: Front Door Shipped/Billed On: 02/27/2011 I've never had this happen, but I'm not really surprised. It makes sense that they'd run out of...

    Mattress transport problem- Solution gets $5 PayPal or...DONE

    Update on post 59, Page 3. $5 gift to your PayPal account or a pink evo3 iSkin for a 30gb ipod video (and anything else I find that fits in that box). I have a queen size memory foam mattress that I need to take home with me. It's a six hour drive so tying it to the roof isn't an option. Well...

    Which hard drive would you use for music and videos on a network?

    Hey guys, I'm setting up some network storage in my apartment right now just to have things in one place. But I can't figure out what type of hard drive to use. Power consumption and noise isn't an issue. But I will be storing music and video files that will be accessed from more than one...

    Preparing for a 6 hour car ride with a new puppy

    I'm picking up a, I think 10 week old puppy soon and driving it back home. The car ride is 6 hours and I'm not sure how to go about it since it's my first time being responsible for a dog. At first I thought I'd just throw it in my car and maybe keep it on my lap. Then I figured the chances of...

    Why would anyone make the GFCI outlet controlled by the light switch?!

    Now it's either everything gets charged while I'm in the bathroom, or I have my toothbrush/razors sitting out in the open. So I guess it's time to see if the switch is controlling the - or +...

    What's the best way to turn down a job?

    I was in Walmart the other day stocking up on cheap stuff for the apartment I just moved into. As I was in the aisle where the utensil organizers are in, some lady was commenting on how cheap things are. I, being the only other person in the aisle, responded with a chuckle and simple 'yea'. I...

    I need car audio help.

    What are some good speakers? I went to some stores and listened to a bunch, but through experience I realized Best Buy and most of the other retailers don't exactly carry the whole line. I got a change to listen to some JL Audio 10w7 subs at Tweeter, and I think I'm going to install two of...

    What should I use to hang up a framed poster?

    I have a framed poster here that I'm about to hang up. It's dimensions are 27" x 40". And it's somewhat heavy. The frame is thin and there is no glass, just plastic, just to give you an idea of the weight. I'm about to mount it onto sheetrock, and there is no stud behind it. Nails or screws...
