    Long Term Review- iPhone vs. Blackberry vs. Windows Mobile

    Personally, I've never had my Tilt with Windows Mobile 6.1 crash and I haven't turned it off in at least a few weeks. I check the task manager occaisionally to close any unwanted programs, but most close themselves pretty consistantly without needing my intervention. Sounds like more of a...

    External DVD burner recommendations? info??

    This just showed up again on Hardforum's hot deals section. If you're in the US, this is the burner you want. Only $28 shipped so it leaves plenty of money for getting an enclosure. If you're not in the US, it's still an excellent burner, you'll just have to find somewhere else to buy it. I...

    Questions about methods of payment for a high school student..

    As you get older you'll probably also want to get accounts at both a credit union and a bank. I started my first savings account in elementary school through Washington Mutual (WaMu) as they had a School Savings program with my school. They had someone at the school every week that you could...

    Always, ALWAYS get a flashlight before fiddling with your subwoofer controls!

    I'm pretty sure I've read multiple posts in other forums that Black Widows aren't actually that deadly, especially to healthy, grown adults. This is coming from people that have been bitten by them numerous times with no serious problems. It would be pretty damn freaky to come across one if...

    knife-fi?

    I just got this Kershaw for Christmas. I'm not very deep into the knife hobby at all, but it's a nice solid little knife to have.

    Rate The Last Movie You Watched

    Good Luck Chuck (DVD) - 3/10 First up is the comedy in this movie. Besides one character that had me laughing out loud a few times, no one else is all that funny. That one funny person is the guy that plays Dane Cook's friend. He's a plastic surgeon that only does huge boob jobs on overly hot...

    lapel microphone for ingame and vent?

    Zalman High-End Microphone Attachment I see it recommended quite often so I'm thinking it's at least decent for the price.

    Are audiophiles morning or night person?

    I told myself last night that I was going to watch a movie and then go to sleep soon after. Instead I hopped on the computer after the movie and didn't even go back to bed until almost 6am. I have no clue when I finally fell asleep. So yeah, night person here.

    Anyone ever have a really expensive hobby on which they regret spending $?

    Baseball rookie cards. I don't really regret it as a whole, but there have been some impulse purchases that I've regretted fairly quickly.
