    Love my Note 2, but I got one issue...

    I feel like a major noob with this phone and can't figure out when I take a picture or screenshot, then select the option "Draw On Image", the image grays out and inverts. Why can't I just draw on the image in its normal state? What the heck is that about? I can't for the life of me figure...

    Those who have leased a car...

    I've never been a fan of leasing, but given my situation now, I may give it a go. For those who have had their lease come up and purchased the car, do you feel like the offer was fair? Secondly, is the offer negotiable? From what I've researched, it doesn't appear to be.

    With the new commercials and what not coming out for 4G Verizon service "coming Dec. 2010" does that mean we can expect some 4G phones to be released soon? I'll be getting a new phone soon and I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to wait or not.

    Using a Blackberry in Japan

    So I have a Blackberry Tour through Verizon and I was just wondering if it will work in Japan (near Tokyo) and if so, what type of charges would I be looking at? Could I use it just for email and not be charged anything extra or will they charge me whether I'm talking, texting, etc? Thanks...

    Current TV commercials that make you want to kill yourself?

    So every time I watch Sportscenter now I have to see that free triple score .com commercial where they apparently take people off the street and have them say free triple score .com over and over until I get a headache. How about the credit card debt relief ones where they use Obama...

    Best money league for fantasy football?

    So I've tried the cbssportsline fantasy football in the past, but its a winner-take-all format and CBS takes a hefty chunk of the cash themselves. Are there any leagues where everyone can buy in, and there is actually winnings for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place? It has to be an online format only...

    The next MMORPG to take the gaming world by storm

    First off, I'm sure there are plenty of other people who have thought about this but I'm still going to take a little credit because I don't give a crap. There might even be another thread on something like this, but I didn't see one and again...I don't give a crap. So here's my idea...

    So I've been hearing the news lately about these Option ARM's which is basically another form of the dreaded Sub-Prime Mortgages that have partly attributed to this whole mess of the mortgage industry.

    Question about GPS devices

    GTX 280 Power connectors

    Building a new system for the first time and I have a GTX 280 along with an Antec Truepower Quatro 850 PSU. Do I need to use both power connectors on the Video card itself or just the one PCI-E connector? I'm confused about the warnings because it talks about using an 8-pin connector, but...

    I/O Shield for PQ5 board

    For some reason, this I/O shield I have pops in quite nicely from the inside of the case, however when I then try to mount the mobo, the padding on the shield creates enough space that doesn't allow me to lineup the holes. What am I doing wrong? LOL

    RAM and Bios Settings when building a new rig

    I'm gearing up to build my first gaming system ever, and had a concern about when I'm installing my memory on the mobo. The thing I'm not entirely clear on is the "timing" and "voltage" of the memory. The specs say 5-5-5-15 and the voltage is 2.0-2.1v. I've read that sometimes the...

    GDDR3 vs GDDR5 Video Cards

    I'm not really familiar with the aforementioned GDDR stuff. What does that exactly refer to? Is it just the onboard type of memory of the video card? More specifically the 4850 vs. the 4870 is about $100 difference depending on where you're looking. What gives?

    I'm debating giving one or the other up. I don't want watch a lot of TV, but pay close to $60 a month for it. On the other hand, giving up my Internet service would probably force me to become a bit more socially active. Which would you choose? Would you choose both?
