    To iPhone or Not ?

    I was thinking about this until I found teamviewer. Similar functionality and free for private use. I want a bigger screen and I love how big the android screens are, but I don't think iphone 5 will have anything over a 4" screen and maybe not even that big. I really hope the iphone 5 is a...

    Similar complaint with my Dune 3.0, but it does work. My friend didn't like my last TV because it took too long to change channels. I guess I'm just not sensitive to a little lag.

    ViDock and/or DIY eGPU

    I think it was on H somewhere they had a review where they artificially limited the video card to different PCIE widths and had a surprisingly small change in the speed of the card on smaller lane numbers.

    iPhone syndrome

    Something else to consider that only pertains to iPhone in general, buying from apple and paying full price gets you an unlocked phone now. That can add an extra hundred or two to resale value, and iPhones already have an excellent resale. AT&T won't unlock iPhones ever, unlike about every other...

    Cell phone without service as alarm clock

    I only use the iphone for an alarm when traveling. With all of apples trouble in the alarm clock area I do be sure to set both the single alarm and the repeat alarm even when it isn't around a time change just to be sure. Apple has a nasty history with alarms failing around time change dates...

    iPhone syndrome

    Is it $356.60 better? Have to look at two years as that's the contract. Just thought it was interesting to throw in the first year to understand ETF. IF I stand by a window at home my phone works fine but I have three bars maximum and nothing in the kitchen with ATT. Verizons about full...

    iPhone syndrome

    I just ran the numbers figuring in my company discount. Verizon both starts higher and has a significantly lower discount, it's quite a difference. Additionally verizons daily prepaid option doesn't appear to have a smartphone option according to their site, may ask in store.

    Evil Empire

    Amazon just needs to be really careful they don't annoy the devs in their app store and drive them away. I have read some reports of them going in and changing app descriptions and price of apps without asking the devs. They have a bit of a bad rap right now and they need to turn that around...

    Dell PERC 6i failed?

    I'd look at the smbus taping issue thing in the link you have above. I didn't have to do it but then again I may have gotten lucky. Not sure what the symptoms are if that's a problem. Beyond that I think the cards need the same bios version at least.

    The amazon tablet looks to be the thing to watch not because of what it is but because they have an ecosystem behind it adding to the totel value like apple does with the iPad. IMO

    They run $150-175 ish on eBay with battery and there doesn't seem to be a shortage of them. RAID5/6 performance is really good for the money.

    Anyone using Blue Ray?

    All my backups involve backing up to another computers drive. I don't think I would be willing to backup to media that I would have to pay for over and over again. External drives in the 1TB USB3 run only around $80. So fast and easy. Once you consider imaging your OS or whole computer to...

    Dell PERC 6i failed?

    Advanced replacement failed quickly too, so I guess it wasn't the disk. I ordered a new cable and replaced it, then the rebuild went fine. Hope that was it. Has me wondering if the first issue I had may have been cabling.

    Those reviews scared me off them too only I saw them on amazon, I posted a link to the first one a couple months ago when last this subject came up. I'm hoping they are just a little complex and technical for most people but I wasn't going to take the chance myself. Time capsule is working...

    My travel was a complete non event. I got to the airport early enough that they bumped me to an earlier flight which was delayed a bit but still way sooner than my original.

    Yamaha? We talking about a bike? I used to do valve adjusts on my concours every season just because that and a through carb balance and mixture adjust made the thing idle and run so well.

If you like rummaging around in command line cisco iOS and don't mind paying $500~900 for the router the cisco 800 series may fit the bill. Slightly too much money and a rather inconvenient interface for me...

    It just kills me, I'd have no problem paying $300 or more for a high quality router if it say had a 3 year warranty with the expectation it would make it there. That's why I was looking at commercial stuff a little bit.

    How to Disable overscan on a Samsung "SMART" tv - solved

    Good stuff, many sets seem to work that way. Also on the video card side they can hide automatic overscan deep in the display drivers which kick in automatically when a TV is detected. Really have to look in both places. Doing the above for most TV disables a lot of the picture and signal...

    I read somewhere if you don't replace the drive with an apple one in iMacs the fans run at high speed all the time because they can't read the thermal sensor or something. They just aren't meant to be serviced by third party. Was in the blogs recently somewhere.
