Don't think that because you don't have a high end camera that you can't take high quality photos. ADSLRwill be able to take pictures better in difficult conditions and gives you more control, but even low end P&S cameras can take great pictures if the light/conditions are favorable.

I have been burned on refurb shit a couple times now. A lot of times it means it has an intermittent problem. I think half of that stuff is something someone returned because it was defective, they got it in, turned it on for 2 minutes, it worked fine, so they put it in a box and sell it as...

Fair enough, but it's something to consider when you start thinking long term. It's probably going to take some therapy to get her to the point of being marriage material and the swinging thing is probably the opposite of that.

Don't over think it. It's not really any different than any other situation. Just don't be a dick and take your cues from your coworkers on things like lunch etc.

She's probably into this because her dad either abandoned her or stuck his finger in her at a young age.

When someone says "I'm an anarchist" I hear "I'm either stupid or I haven't thought this through". In fact, the best response would be to beat the shit out of them with a lead pipe and then say "Since you're an anarchist, I know you're not going to call the cops about this, and of course you...

Samsung is also toying with their own operating system, although personally I can't really see that taking off at this stage of the game.

I watched Donnie Brasco again this weekend and it is a good movie, but all I could think was I wish that Johnny Depp was Ray Liotta, Bruno Kirby actually was Joe Pesci instead of a guy doing a Joe Pesci impression, and that I was watching Goodfellas instead of a well made Goodfellas ripoff...

But that fake Mexican chef lady rejected the steak 9 times!

I heard a podcast with Matt Atchity from Rotten Tomatoes and he thinks that the Academy is just jealous of Affleck because he's too good looking and has too hot of a wife so he's not supposed to get to be a hotshot director too. It is true that when you're handicapping the Oscars you're really...

I don't really see anything but fantasy or sci-fi ever winning one of these polls on this board. "Lonesome Dove" is one of my all time favorite books though, I highly recommend it. Not sure why it's in the "young adult" section though.

I take no precautions with my Galaxy Nexus and almost never have trouble getting through the day unless I do a whole bunch of downloading on 4G. I live in an area with no cell coverage and the thing is searching all day. I leave LTE, WiFi, and Bluetooth on all the time and today I probably...

If you didn't consider yourself an old man before, this post is where you became one.

Yeah, people comparing this show to Rome is a pretty big stretch. I have watched every episode of Spartacus and mostly enjoyed it, but it's just a video game compared to Rome.

Some seriously bad taste in movies being exposed here. David Duchovny? Has he even been in one good movie? I can't think of one. Jesus fucking Christ.

Don't know why that is, but the good news is 20 Mbit is plenty fast enough for just about anything you can do on the internet.

Kansas City - Where 49ers quarterbacks go to die.

My HTC Incredible had horrible battery life as well. I just carried a spare battery in my pocket and swapped it when it got low.

I used to be an electrical engineer but I don't know anything about DIY aquarium lights, LED or otherwise. I think the aquarium message boards are probably your best bet.

The EVO was one of the first LTE phones. The reason that Apple waited a year to put in LTE was so the chips could be refined and they wouldn't burn so much battery. That said, I do think that LTE iPhones have less battery life than previous models, which is not a surprise.

I'm just having a hard time giving a damn about any of the characters now. I was much more invested in earlier seasons.

It seems kind of neat. It's useless for me because I live in the middle of nowhere, but it has some interesting stuff when I'm in a city.

Saying "comma", "period", "question mark", "exclamation point" and "return" work with Android, at least in the newest version. You have to kind of pause before them to get them to work. BTW, my swiftkeyX just updated to include swype functionality and I now love it so much. I always went...

Much cheaper than filler episodes. I have to say the plot of this season is pretty silly, but then I never watched this show for it's realism.

Tarrant is a mod? Good lord.

I think they could have done that in one hour.

Apple is not nearly as secure as they used to be. Basically everything about the iPhone 5 leaked before it came out. That said, that dude at Verizon is 100% full of shit.

Google I/O is March 13th. Pretty good chance of some new nexus stuff being announced then. EDIT: Woops, it's in May, not March. Registration just opens March 13th.

I switched from Dish to DirecTV about a year and a half ago for free NFL Sunday Ticket. It's better than Dish for sure. I have no complaints even though I don't have the sexy new DVR. NFL Sunday Ticket is godly if you are a football fan and don't live in your team's city. I actually paid for...

That's because the deck is stacked against third parties in this country. Ron Paul ran as a libertarian once and then went back to being a Republican because he felt that was the only choice where he had a chance of getting his ideas heard. After Ross Perot they changed the rules so it's...

Half the time Android voice recognition blows my mind with how good it is. The rest of the time it makes me want to throw my phone out the window. I try to use it to text while driving and it's great and much safer UNLESS it repeatedly fucks up what I'm trying to say and I have to delete it 3...

16% on RT. I haven't seen this, but all you need to know about this is that it's coming out in February. If it didn't suck it would be a summer movie.

Yes, in the same way that corn stalks grow out of your poop when you eat popcorn.

Interesting because I just heard about Jeff Jarvis having the exact same experience on the BBC and basically calling them on their bullshit on the air.

This is true, but I think it's safe to say that the mirrorless lenses are going to get more numerous and DSLRs are eventually going the way of the dinosaur. Not right away, but smaller cameras are just highly preferable for many reasons and there is not any real advantage to the mirror in this...

It's a crying shame that there isn't an HD version of this show. I would love to upgrade my DVDs to Blu-rays.

I think the plates just stood out because they were super cheesy personalized plates. Not the best choice for a criminal who doesn't want to draw attention to himself.

I wish voice recognition worked as reliably in real life as it does in these videos.

Totally immersing yourself in a foreign language is great advice except for the fact that it's completely impractical for almost everyone that is not actually moving to a different country.
