    How game changing is 3D touch?

    Simply, yes. If this is a one off purchase that you'd don't intend to replace for a few years the hot e6s is a safe purchase. If you're likely to buy next year's iPhone as well, then it might be worth sticking with what you have. Then again... The S lines of iPhones are the ones that keep...

    First Car - '96 Jetta or '96 Eclipse or Other

    I know I should, but I don't have a problem getting my hands dirty if that's what it'll take, and as much as a car is supposed to be a point a to point b thing, I want something with some kind of style, and Corolla's and sedans really just aren't what I'm looking for.

    First Car - '96 Jetta or '96 Eclipse or Other

    Right, so here's the deal. I'm gonna be getting my first car soon and I need some help determining what I want. Here's what I need though: A car that will last a while. Will go 250 miles on one tank (less ideally) (actually make it that far too). A car that is easy to repair (I'm going to...

    Anyone watch Numb3rs? Know music?

    You are fantastic. I mustn't have searched google right because that certainly didn't show up. Cheers! :beer:

    Anyone watch Numb3rs? Know music?

    Alright. There is a really cool song at the beginning of this episode that plays over the kidnapping of the two girls and the father of Porter. I think that's the right facts anyway. Did anyone watch this episode and can tell me the name and artist of this song? It has a chorus of "Get Sound"...

    Thinking about switching to apple

    While its true that Macs do video very well, the problem is that the speed of an encoding will be determined by the power of the processor and Macbooks are at the lower end of the spectrum. It'll still convert and it'll be pretty quick but certainly not as fast as a a Macbook Pro.

    Thinking about switching to apple

    I'd suggest, for what you seem to want, a basic Macbook configuration will suit. It's cheap, functional and reliable. And I wouldn't worry about switching from Windows to Leopard, I'm positive you'll find it quick and easy to get used to (there's not that much difference really). The most you'll...

    Is the Air for you?

    I'd think that its quite plain that the Air isn't designed for uses such as plugging in your video camera and editing your movies, or running that Windows VM. It's on par with a Mac Mini: all the basics covered. Word processing, watching movies, listening to music, traveling, browsing the web...

    Office 2008 yet?

    I really like Office 2008. It's not much of an update from 2004, granted, but at least now it's native as said above. I used Pages for a semester before getting 2008, and I think it's about a tie between those two. Whatever you do, I'd lose 2004, but if it's Pages or Office, I'd go for Pages.

    Guitar Tablature to Piano

    Alright, so I've been trying to play many of The Killers songs on the piano and since I don't believe/I can't find any sheet music books out there for them (especially B-Sides), I have to rely on the Tabs on the internet. The problem is that they are for guitar, and I don't play the guitar or...

    Easiest way to open a Kensington Combination Lock?

    I've already emailed support and I'm waiting for them to get back to me. I was just wondering if someone else has had a similar problem and solved it.

    Easiest way to open a Kensington Combination Lock?

    I just bought a Kensington ComboSaver Combination Portable Notebook Lock. I don't know many Notebooks that aren't portable, but that's ok. Anyway, set up was a bit confusing and I wound up setting the combination to something that I have absolutely no idea what it is. Now I can't get back to...

    Best fridge for under $100

    So I'm about to go back to school and my new roommate is going to get the TV which leaves me in charge of the fridge. I don't have a clue what to get, I wasn't planning on getting one actually but whatever. I need a dorm size fridge for as cheap as I can go. I've got $100 but I really don't want...

    Anyone got an OiNK invite? + Free Demonoid invite!

    I'm desperately looking for an invite to OiNK, and though it seems like I'm begging for it, I'm actually looking to trade! I've got a Demonoid invite for you (or two if you want, though I don't know why you need two) if you'd like to swap. Otherwise, I'm a bit clueless as to what trade. If OiNK...

    Best Credit Card for Student/No Credit History?

    Exactly Brainonska. I'm gonna do what I want to, and I just wanted some advice doing that. It shouldn't matter to what end I want the credit for, just that I want it. Thanks intogamer! Just what I needed to know. Right now BoA is winning in my mind. I know lots of people with BoA and they...

    Best Credit Card for Student/No Credit History?

    Those aren't running OS X though. I've been on a Mac for four years now, and with the new Parallel's doing DX and OpenGL virtualization, and the ability to BootCamp, there's no real reason to go back to Windows and every reason to stay on a Mac. Not to mention the fact that I don't think newegg...

    Best Credit Card for Student/No Credit History?

    I do get that, but I will be making the payments and then paying it off. There'll be no late payments or defaulting. As far as I know, credit scores don't go down for having a balance and making your payments on it.

    Best Credit Card for Student/No Credit History?

    Who doesn't want the latest and greatest? The point is that I will be able to pay it off and will pay it off. Does it really matter why I want this stuff? And I'm going Mac (don't even try to tell me not to), so its either $1000 or $2000 and I do want to game, so a Macbook Pro is the only...

    Best Credit Card for Student/No Credit History?

    I should, but I do need a phone right now (well, as soon as my three year old RAZR finally splits the other side of the hinge) and the computer will last me for four years and beyond, hopefully. And it's not so much a matter of need (well a phone, yeah) but of want too. I'm nearly at the point...

    Best Credit Card for Student/No Credit History?

    I never said I wouldn't be making payments on time, just if there were offers that didn't require you to. It doesn't really matter because I'd still be making them, it's just easier if I didn't have to until I could pay it off.

    Best Credit Card for Student/No Credit History?

    This is great advice, but here are the next questions: AMEX, Visa or Mastercard? What's the credit limit on most of these cards? I'm looking for $1000 right now, but I might have the need for $4000 for a new computer and display. It's either cash or credit, and it doesn't matter to me. Has...

    Once again, haha, that's what I mean. Use it as if it were a debit card.

    Best Credit Card for Student/No Credit History?

    And that is what I meant. Pay it off in full every month, just like a debit card. It's a bit late so I'm not doing too well phrasing my thoughts haha.

    Best Credit Card for Student/No Credit History?

    http://www.bankofamerica.com/c...AWI00400800122126EN004 That looks OK, but I can't see anywhere that lists a credit limit. My bank doesn't have a student card on their site (Citizen's Bank). It'd be great if they did, I've been with them three years.

    Best Credit Card for Student/No Credit History?

    So I should pay it off and then keep it open? That sounds fine by me. Someone suggested that to me, for a while at least, use your card and pay it off insetad of just using the money you would use to pay it off and that would build up credit. That's a great idea!

    Best Credit Card for Student/No Credit History?

    Alright. iPhone comes out on the 29th of June, right? I haven't got the money now, but my situation is unique because come the end of August I will have about $10,000 (school loan extra, took more for a new computer and other stuff, including an iPhone). But I don't really want to wait two more...

    edit:MS introduces surface computing

    Two demos, same device. They did say that it was scalable and cheap though. This is limited to a table, and for a while at least, in casinos and hotels. The iPhone is the first portable multi-touch device, and this just seems like a feeble attempt to take away from that. Fortunately it won't...

    Aiptek 720P Camcorder

    So 720p recording for 4 hours for only $340 + shipping? Sounds pretty good to me. The nearest competitor to the camera as I can see is a Sanyo at $599.

    Anyone here follow Trailer Park Boys?

    I've been really impressed with it this year. I saw the BBC America run, and thought, this sucks. Without the swearing it just wasn't right. Glad that people in Canada are so lax with their internet restrictions :P

    Aiptek 720P Camcorder

    I just browsed to a news snippet on engadget about this so I had to go an have a look online for it, and amazingly enough it was real, and it was just under $260! LINK I'm not sure about the quality of this product and will have to have a look when I get it, but I'd say that the specs look...

    Demonoid is awesome. The speeds can be quite low sometimes, not exactly bit-hdtv or even eztv speeds, but sometimes it can go quite well. There's tons of stuff on there though. Reboot? Who knew I could find that there! Brittas Empire. Come on, classics! And people can't get to the invites...

    Best Ringtone Site?

    I put 'superfreak ringtone' into google, and all I can get are sites that send them via text to you, and then charge you $10 a month for more. I just want a simple MIDI, or MP3, RAZR compatible ringtone. I'd love not to pay for it too. Where do you guys get your ringtones? I know, I can...
