    Looks like Motorola is doing the $150 off the Moto X again today, according to some blogs I came across. Moto X deal is back! $150 off full price, 50% off on-contract | Android and Me

    Is there a Rerolled Horde group running Flex or have a guild around? Mine has pretty much shut down at this point and they don't even want to take an extra person on Flex, so I'm debating telling them to fuck off and finding somewhere else to actually try to enjoy the game. Currently on...

    Download: Android 4.4 (KRT16S) Official Update for Nexus 10 | Droid Life There's a link for the downloadables. I'm curious how it's going to run on the Nexus 10. I'm enjoying it so far on my Moto X and 2013 N7.

    This MAY be a first. The Moto X has seen VZW release 4.4, and ATT is currently soak testing it. The fucked up part? The non-carrier version and developer edition are still rotting on 4.2.2.

    I didn't have one to trade in (that was a killer deal) but I picked one up from the Apple store tonight. It's a replacement for a first gen mini that was stolen. My insurance covered it, but they were getting on my case about finally replacing it. Thankfully my local store had them in stock...

    Google Maps has had the ability to cache areas that you select for quite some time. You only need GPS for navigation even when you have no cell service.

    There's something to be said about mashing the shit out of your Chain Lightning button, but Shaman just doesn't feel that great for single target DPS. I ran the rest of ToT and first two wings of SoO today in LFR, an you're incredibly correct about the lack of cleave. I've been spoiled by...

    I've started gearing up my Ret Pally (Horde), and in the next couple weeks will likely be able to run flex. Just 504 ilevel, so it's a ways off. Ele Shaman at 520 ilevel as well. I'm having a bit more fun with my Ret though. Who knew it could be fun once you geared up a bit? It took a lot of...

    Is there a server that rerolled folks are playing on currently? My guild that I've been with for several years is boring as fuck and people only seem to log in on the two days they raid. It would be nice to have a home that people enjoy talking. Faction doesn't matter, is probably roll fresh...

    I was more referring to the ZG recolor sets that they put on ToT. I can't imagine farming up all of the BoE drops there, and my server hasn't seen any of them on the AH in the last few weeks since I started playing again. I checked out OpenRaid and it looks like they have...

    I've definitely noticed the low population AH business. It's next to impossible to get any decent looking transmog gear, but I have pretty much every other profession, so it doesn't have a huge impact.

    I'll have to pick up openraid. I farmed the shit out of timeless isle, picked up all of the chests, and managed to get up to 480 ilevel within 24 hours after hitting 90. Capped out valor and I've run the first 4 LFR instances. Trying to get through as many as possible before the reset. Landed...

    What would people suggest for a fresh 90? I'm unemployed after shoulder surgery and powerleveled a warlock. I had a cloak and bracers from the isle and have picked up several more pieces, but I seem to be getting shit luck with drops now. Is like to get lfr ready, but I'm currently only 463...

    It's not on your list, but I'm pretty stoked with the Motorola X phone so far. There are very few things that have shown any kind of frame dropping from the UI that I didn't see in my HTC One, and I'm getting a full day and change in battery life. I have to say that it's likely the best feeling...

    So I'm picking up WoW again for the first time since the end of Cataclysm since I just had shoulder surgery and I'm stuck not doing anything for the next couple months. I started leveling my Pally as Ret, but I'm unsure what they look like at cap. What's the state of healers currently? I...

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    Odd. I've set my Chromecast up on two different networks. I've generally set it up through a mobile device, but I can cast to it without any issues from any wireless or wired device. It hasn't received a ton of use recently except quickly casting YouTube videos to my TV to share with people...

    I finally pulled the trigger on a device. Picked up a 2 month old MacBook Air (2013) from one of my friends who decided that he'd rather have a Pro w/ Retina screen when they come out. Picked it up fully loaded with the Haswell i7, 512gb hdd, 8gb memory and 3 year AppleCare for $1600. I don't...

    You should consider the Moto X phone. With the virtual nav keys, the phone has a 4.7" screen, but if you don't take those into consideration and focus only on the standard viewable area, it's closer to 4.4". I'm finding that it's about the perfect size mobile device. It's absolutely usable...

    Saturday I received my Moto X. I'll be doing a full review when I finally get my laptop (my car was broken into and I lost everything). My initial impressions of the T-Mobile variant is that it's pretty great, but it absolutely has its faults. The display is incredible once you get past the...

    Has anyone played with the new Macbook Air? I want something thin and light (13") that's packing the new Haswell chips. I looked at the Acer S7, and while it was kind of nice, I wasn't really liking the gorilla glass lid and super sharp edges on it. I've read that the MBA is likely the "best"...

    Since I took a spill climbing and destroyed most of my shoulder, I'm coming back from surgery and in another month or so can ride a bike again. I'm thinking of trying to find some kind of hybrid/commuter bike, but I'm quite honestly lost in the sea of bikes available here in the Seattle area...

    We should start our own hardware blog.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see quite a few of us reviewing hardware that we purchase on our own. Hell, I go through phones pretty regularly, so I tend to have a new one in-hand every 3-6 months and tend to stay on top of whatever is on the market. Aside the hardware itself, there's the...

    I've been able to spend some time on multiple devices running 4.3 and the TRIM support is really noticeable on devices like the Nexus 7. While availability of ROMs isn't that great yet, it's even having an impact performance-wise on my HTC One. It seems this may be the best step in OS...

    With the upcoming school year, keep your eyes open for cheap iPad minis. There are piles of specials that Apple will throw in either an iPod or an iPad mini in with a laptop/desktop purchase. Most of these kids already have Apple products, so you may be able to pick them up on the cheap. A buddy...

    I'll have to look at the cost involved. I think it would be an extra $20/mo to get a data only SIM? I want to see if this smaller tablet would be worth having full-time internet access, since I generally only use it at home, or if I'm running Citrix while remote. Thanks for the positive...

    So I'm down for a few months due to shoulder surgery, and another one in about 3 months.

It's a pretty decent size, and I could see myself getting a less powerful...

    Question: Running into an issue here. I've pretty much been stuck being sedentary over the next month or two, and I've been down a month already after a climbing accident.

    Truth. It's essentially ultrabook (pre Haswell) specs for an extra $300-400. I don't think I could have ever purchased one on my own, but I'm quite happy that I have it as a secondary work machine now.

    I'm only a few days into inheriting it through work, but I have to say the Surface Pro isn't really so bad. We tried to deploy one at work, and some apps just aren't compatible with Citrix/IE10, so I traded my similarly specced laptop for it. The screen is absolutely beautiful. 1920x1080 on...
