    Thinking about upgrading my Lenovo U330

    Quick OT: I do agree with Cypher. Now, 1366x768 is an all too common screen res that I'm not happy with on anything bigger than 13". Even my U350, 13.3" @ 1366x768 didn't have great pixel density. I have NO idea how Apple's 13" MBPs are still at 1280x800 when the MBA is at 1440x900. I love...

    x220 or T420s

    We had two loaners from Lenovo, a X220 and a T420s. The experiment was to give to our CEO and then he'd select which he liked the best, as he has an average user. We went with the T420s, as did he. Now we have a few T420s' deployed, some with SSDs and some with HDs but I do not regret choosing...

    Thinking about upgrading my Lenovo U330

    I sold my U350 while I had the chance. "Ultrabooks" will soon replace U3x0-like laptops.

    Anyone know anything about the new Thinkpad Tablet?

    We have two WiFi 32GB models on order that should be shipping around 9/12. However, any information you can find on the 'net is exactly what you want. There are no more secrets, etc.

    America's mid-Atlantic to Maine I-95 corridor on Hurricane alert

    Not really...one example is Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn. Some guy was giving an interview up to his knees in water on the street. Surges and flooding will be the biggest issue here, then they'll take care of the power issue, which has hit tens of thousands of people. Just because the winds...

    America's mid-Atlantic to Maine I-95 corridor on Hurricane alert

    White Plains, NY reporting in... We saw about an hour of prolonged heavy rains and winds then it died down to almost nothing, just a small breeze. Now the wind is picking up and the gusts are stronger than before. Supposedly the "eye" is going to be in my area sometime around sunrise...6-9am...

    Did any of you shed a tear over 9/11?

    I agree with that statement for sure. I'm sure a lot of people in my area would also agree. I didn't shed a tear, but I definitely was concerned.

    New York to Get Pummeled by Huge Hurricane. Do You Feel Bad for Them?

    I rest my case. There's just too many narrow minded idiots in this thread. They're like teenagers to their parents--they have an answer for everything. If ya hate us, ya hate us. Fine. However, we're about to deal with the first hurricane to directly hit NYC since 1821. You think we're prepared...

    New York to Get Pummeled by Huge Hurricane. Do You Feel Bad for Them?

    I live about 5 miles outside of NYC and I have family in NYC, as well as friends and coworkers. My father in law is in Brooklyn as we type. So again, go fuck yourself.

    Not only that but...a pussy? Dwell, you're a pussy hiding behind your keyboard and monitor. Bloomberg is doing good by his people and is making sure they are safe, rather than sorry. Go fuck yourself.

    New York to Get Pummeled by Huge Hurricane. Do You Feel Bad for Them?

    The guy on the news just said it...the last hurricane to DIRECTLY hit NYC was in 1821. Yes, I believe everything I hear.

    Where were you on 9/11/2001?

    Fucking prick. To answer the question, I was in school and they called us all into the gym to tell us the news. A few hours later, my father had picked me and all of my cousins up and brought us to the family business and we then went home.

    New York to Get Pummeled by Huge Hurricane. Do You Feel Bad for Them?

    Just saw some nutjob channel 4 reporter in Maryland on the beach...waves behind her were 15-20 feet and Irene was about half a mile off the coast behind her. In. Sane.

    New York to Get Pummeled by Huge Hurricane. Do You Feel Bad for Them?

    My point was, it's rare to see any sort of hurricane force up here. Maybe we get the "after effects" such as the tail end of a tropical storm or a really bad thunderstorm. However, I was referring to an article on cnn.com that I read yesterday. Supposedly, the NYC region hasn't had a hurricane...

    New York to Get Pummeled by Huge Hurricane. Do You Feel Bad for Them?

    While I do not discount 9/11 at all, how is a Category 1 hurricane that the Northeast hasn't seen since what, 1820 something, puny? Compare the death toll of 9/11 (3000ish) to the number of people that COULD die or be hurt in this hurricane. You're talking about 7 million people in NYC that...

    I loved Toronto when I went a few years ago. Very clean city. Then again, I'm not a native Canadian, so I guess I don't know the real deal.

    New York to Get Pummeled by Huge Hurricane. Do You Feel Bad for Them?

    Agreed. To the rest of ya, Just because we don't experience hurricanes doesn't mean we're assholes or "didn't prepare." Why didn't we prepare? Because we never fucking get them. Why do Californians shake off earthquakes like they're nothing? They're used to them. Why do Floridians not care...

    Cat is suddenly scared of me

    Interesting, to say the least. Especially that severe of aggression when she is usually at your feet trying to "win you over" so she can get fed. Well, good luck with your demon friend that's been shadowing you.

    America's mid-Atlantic to Maine I-95 corridor on Hurricane alert

    I won't lie...I'm in lower Westchester County, NY and I'm definitely a bit nervous. The last major storm I was in was "The Labor Day Storm" in, I think, 98? That was in Central NY and it was bad. I can't imagine a hurricane hitting NY Metro. DrPizza, I hope the best for your son. I assume he...

    Donate to St Jude's Trike a Thon!

    Actually, although I appreciate the sarcasm, I rarely come to the forums here anymore. It was just because I know some people here used to have a care. I remember back when a couple people had illnesses, they were requesting donations for themselves. I figured it may be against forum rules, but...

    Anyone have the EnV 2 from Verizon yet?

    Those of you who think the buttons are too small, try owning an Alias, as they're called (Samsung u740). I have had one for over a year, I love the dual flip and the thinness of the phone. But, like I said, the buttons on that are much harder to get used to than the enV2. I'd love to...

    how old were u?

    I actually got suspended in 5th grade from a private, college-prep school for bringing porn into school. I had just got my first Mac, a UMAX Supermac c500. I think it was like 300mhz 603e processor upgraded to a Sonnit G3 at 400 WOPPING mhz. Anyways, I also got a color printer. I found some porn...
