So apparently Samsung's not to subtle attack on Apple has been working. So well that even Google is nervous Samsung is becoming to big. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/...er-in-samsung/

I don't think it is any big secret that Apple designed their stuff specifically with battery performance in mind. It also isn't a big secret that HTC isn't exactly stellar when it comes to building phones with great battery performance. Their phones do many other things well. Can't tell you...

I'm guessing a conditional 2014 draft pick for Smith. Something that starts as a 4th and can become as high as a second. Niners have a ton of draft picks this year on a team in which rookies can barely get on the active roster, much less the field.

I think a couple of keys to effective email marketing are content and avoiding cannibalization. You have to give people a reason to read and you don't want to offer deals on things people were already going to buy anyways. If they are on your email list they are already your customer so you...

Great news. Even with the new line-up/ideas I hope the whole catalog will be a part of the performance.

The Copywrite Alert System ("6 Strikes") goes live today on most major ISPs. If you aren't using a VPN and/or Seedbox it is probably time to start. I have been usingprivateinternetaccess.com$40 a year and painless to install/use. Even when I connect to Switzerland my up/down speeds have a...

Liked your photo. But I am just going to say, duck-face = MLA in my book.

The battery life on my HTC Thunderbolt was fine. I thought the complaints about it where overblown. Then LTE became available in my area and I might as well had a land-line since I was plugged in all the time. Once I turned LTE off it was all good again.

You might remember earlier I posted about the WA purposed AWB that included a provision that allowed the sheriff a yearly warrantless search of your house if you owned basically any semi-automatic weapon. Thankfully that bill appears to be DOA. The three senators that sponsored the bill have...

I'm guessing you mean Quickbooks calculates deductions automatically for you? Or can you set it up to make the actual deposits as well?

There are some drawbacks to the currently available mirrorless cameras still. The guy who wrote the article BrutulTM posted above very objectively covers all of them. Some people will say don't buy a DSLR today because in 5 years it will be antiquated technology. Frankly, if you bought a DSLR...

I also read somewhere that buffing your dish with RainX once a year can really help if you have weather related service issues.

I am personally waiting on the variety of mirrorless options to become more numerous before I jump on board. If you want something with at least a ASP-C sized sensor your selection is extremely limited (and I am personally waiting for some full-framed options). Also last time I checked, the...

I have it and have been happy. My bill has been exactly what they have said it would be (unlike Comcast that just seemed to change it at will and hoped I didn't notice). Their customer service has always been top notch. I wanted to get a channel for a college football game and they prorated...

Tourists staying at a Los Angeles hotel bathed, brushed teeth and drank with water from a tank in which a young woman's body was likely decomposing for more than two weeks, police said. http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/20/us/cal...html?hpt=hp_t1

I think you mean "Dry Hopping" method. Dry hopping is when hops are added the beer during fermentation or into the keg. Hops are normally added during the boil. Sorry to nitpick but just don't want people confused as to what the torpedo machine does.

I do all of my own payroll. Yes, you need to deduct L&I, Fed Income, SS, SUTA and FUTA. You are in WA right? Everything can be done online and I can give you links. I think for a business of your size, a payroll service would be a waste of money.

Ultimately it is up to them, doesn't mean we can't speak our mind about it.

Some state governments follow in the footsteps of other states. WA already has a terrible "AWB Ban" in the works and I don't want them pointing to CO and what they passed/are trying to pass to rally support for it. And most state government officials are still members of national parties and...

One thing I can't stress enough with any DSLR is that you also need some good photo processing software (Lightroom 4). And you should spend just as much time learning to use the software as you do the camera. (Incoming dumbed-down explanation for beginners) Basically, your typical...

Meh, I hear ya. But my philosophy always has been when it comes to dealing with less than ideal service at a place is it' isn't the problem itself, but how they deal with my problem that decides whether a place keeps my business or not. Even my most favorite restaurants don't get it right 100%...

No, you didn't do anything wrong there. And your request should have been granted promptly. Also the management should have never pointed you out specifically when telling the parents there was a complaint. While I still think you kind of should have expected that kind of atmosphere at that...

Yeah, I have to deal with parents letting their out-of-control kids run wild around my restaurants all the time. Their lack of attentiveness or respect for fellow diners astounds me sometimes. And just about every time the parents are asked to do something about the issue their response is...

So Colorado shouldn't worry about driving several hundred jobs out of its state because of what the republicans are doing to the post office?

I think they are hoping for the "well as long as I get to keep mine, I don't care" vote/support. Or at the very least, apathy from said gun owners.

So the democrats here in WA are trying to go full retard. They introduced an AWB that bans the sale of (and I am quoting the article here so I don't know the exact wording and if it applies to hand guns) "semi-automatic weapons that use detachable ammunition magazines. Clips that contain more...

So Chrome has an app for remote desktop access now. Works really well and is easy to install https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...mpfmihenigjmpp

Would not have sex without a condom unless I was prepared to be tied to that woman the rest of my life via a kid. Not going to leave the responsibility of prevention up to someone else when the consequences are going to have such a huge impact on my life.

I'll take DTV's excellent customer service and the 3 minutes a year I can't watch TV due to weather over Comcast any day.

Crop sensor vs full frame really is about what kind of photography you plan on shooting as they will each accel in different types of shooting situations. Google "crop frame vs full frame" and have fun reading about 10,000 different articles and opinions on the matter.

I agree with sticking with the same eco-system. I am going one step further and sticking with Nexus devices (or devices that can be easily rooted) to eliminate the carrier from holding up the update process. As far as a pure Nexus device coming to Verizon, I know Google and Verizon are at...

So now we get 7 more years of ESPN insisting the M's should trade Felix to the Yankees.

I am going to be out of town till next Tuesday (2/12), but I will try to get some PM's out when I get back.

My wifes doc wouldn't fill her BC without a yearly pap. Neither would my ex's for that matter. I thought it was common practice. /shrug

Yes but you have to pay him the franchise amount +X% extra for doing a second year.I think it is 20% but not positive.

Yeah, iirc they were in the pistol and it looked like a read option to me. But of course they called the time out and decided to continue being "tricky" with the pass calls. One thing I will say in defense of the play calling, Kaep said he audibled into some of those plays at the line. We...

I feel the Niners are in pretty good shape. They still need some help at WR, not sure what happened/is going to happen with Jenkins but he couldn't seem to find the field and the ghost of Randy Moss didn't bring enough to the table on the field to warrant being a part of the plan moving...

I am not going to put this one on the refs. I don't think it was a very well officiated game, but it went both ways. It's easy to bitch about Crabtree non-call because of the moment, but there was an equally egregious non-call earlier in the game when Torrey Smith was obviously held on his way...

So what effect will this new "six strike" system have on torrenting? http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2...ls-to-cost-35/

I think the NFL bloggers for each division on ESPN do a pretty good job. I also like Clayton but it is more for the work he does with the local sports talk station here in Seattle rather than his work on ESPN. He does a Saturday morning show plus lots of daily appearances and they are always...
