    question Mobile Phones

    Hmm, maybe bigger isn't so much better. I was all set to love this screen at first site. I guess if they do the plus at some point it would be a dream. http://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1319022037 iOS 5 pretty much required or at least pushed heavily for all iphones...

    question Mobile Phones

    The only argument I have heard that makes the slightest sense is you can hold it in one hand and reach the whole screen with your thumb with a 3.5". I don't care. Can still make the stretch on a 4 or 4.5 mostly anyway. Having 4.5" screen doesn't do much to the overall size anyway.

    question Mobile Phones

    But in that shot what's up with the web page rendering? Why is that line of text crammed all up on the left side? My blackberry mangling pages like that is why I hate the BB browser. That crap is not ok.

    question Mobile Phones

    I could maybe like this screen. http://1876.voxcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/galaxy-nexus-iphone-4s906v.jpg I like that third party firmware option and I would likely do that if it were my phone.

    TapaTalk

    H forums refuses to load it citing security concerns, and they have had a couple breaches so it is a real concern there. I also don't like the extra garbage the thing seems to add to every post you make, spamming "posted with xyz" etc. Personally I think the forums there and here look good in...

    There isn't any carrier out there that gives you unlimited data besides sprint that I know of (US carriers anyway). Sprint is CDMA, no ipads on sprint yet but I'm sure it's a matter of time now that the 4s is on sprint. Maybe you could look at one of those little broadband boxes that connects...

    If you can share internet on your phone via wifi you could skip that portion. Otherwise: 250MB data $14.99/mo. 2GB data $25.00/mo. I actually have a 64gb ipad 1 with 3G for sale right now.

    Using a Fluke 123 scope I can't tell the difference between UPS and Utility. If I had to say the UPS looked slightly better.

    Yeah I agree, they don't appear to be fairing well. Don't know if they wandered into the city for food or are lost or what. We have a decent amount of wooded areas near here but nothing I would consider a forest. Don't know their foraging habits. Yes, it's a home office. Past couple years I am...

    Canon MG5220. Someone else commented on this being too big and close but the keyboard tray is pushed all the way in. With that out I sit a little over a yard away from the monitor. Seems perfect to me, games fill much of my frontal vision and default size text seems to be the right size at...

    UPS Help

    I should clarify I knew I would never come even close to 15 amps on that circuit. You are right and I had the potential to overload the circuit with that UPS but then I still was pulling the same exact less than 4 amps from the circuit with that UPS as I am now. Back when I had the stereo on...

    I used mine with a "custom" 30a plug to 15a plug extension cord I made. I can't remember if it was a 3kva or a 2kva unit. My current 1kva unit with a 15a plug is much more suited to the couple pc's and rack of networking equipment on it. Even so runs about half load. You should think about...

    When going through tolls I used to stick a couple dollars in fairing cracks to have ready at the toll, quick to grab. Never lost any either. Lots of riders up here say they get waived through, never happened to me though.

    iPhone syndrome

    App developers really liked the 3gs because it doubled the memory in the device but the OS still took the same memory footprint. This wound up tripling or more the memory that was available for apps. Memory alone appeared to be the multitasking decision killer there I think. The 4s can do...

    I have always stored things in well named folders and file names, that helped me so much when my movies barfed and messed things up. Now it's all I deal with and I really don't care about all the extra info/covers that I could have.

    Handruin, do you have your shsh backed up? So that you can go back to 4.3.3 or 4.3.5 for example if you don't like ios5 on your 3gs? If not do it soon to keep that option open. Way I understand it you also need to keep an old copy of itunes too now. I want to know how much money case...

    Gmail calendar sych works via exchange/push somehow. You must have push enabled, push is quick but it isn't instant. Push is designed to not use a lot of battery, somehow a push server reaches out to your phone only when it has something for you. Seems to be some sort of direct contact service...

    There is a huge movement in the industry to have the public test software, even when it is marked as finished product.

    I'm just interested because they have things like remote start/stop and can disable the car when you are driving it now. That might not be a public facing option but the system is capable of it. Just think of someone getting into that system and sending a remote disable to every onstar car...

    How do you identify your car online? Is it a VIN or something? Is there a robust lost my password procedure? I'm sure they have thought of this but I've never looked into it before.

    Isn't the part that broke on your car part of the cat assembly? That is welded to it and not bolted to it? I also found references for 15 years or 150,000 miles for some cars in some states, generally PZEV or ULEV type stuff. Must have been what I was thinking of. I would love for my cat pipe...

    Far as I know emissions components etc have a crazy long warranty time and mileage. Things breaking in or near the cat pipe sort of fall under this far as I know. You looked into this angle yet?

    Noise-Reduction Headphones...experiences?

    Check into http://www.complyfoam.com/. They sound like they attenuate about 25-30db, similar to foam earplugs. No special noise reduction stuff needed. Alternately you can take foam earplugs and punch a hole in the middle and get something close to these on the cheap.
