I ordered mine on release date, so still had the Netflix code, but I just got an email that my Netflix code will not be emailed to me until 5 days after the device ships. That sucks, I have Amazon Prime so I have 2-day shipping, so I'll have the thing for 3 days before I can use my Netflix...

Because when you sit down and realize you are spending 2 grand a year on cell service, it punches you in the gut. Not to mention any additional cost of purchasing new phones. My cell phone bill is my largest bill each month, which is ridiculous when you think about it. It's more than my...

Yeah, that basic same plan for an individual phone is like $75 a month. When my wife and I combined our two accounts to a 2-phone family plan, our bill only dropped from $150 with 2 individual plans to $140, not much savings. The family plan is like $110 for the first phone, and then $30 for...

Family plans tend to be pretty decent deals as long as you have 4 or 5 people on them. You don't save any money with just 2 people usually. I have a family plan through Sprint with 4 smartphones on it (2 Samsung S2s, a S3, and a S4) and it runs $210 a month. $52/mo per phone isn't terrible...

The weird thing is, he's perfectly happy from 7AM - 7PM, and sleeps pretty decently in spurts throughout the day. He's just a total hellraiser from 1am - 7am unfortunately, but in general he's a pretty happy baby

Yep, I keep a 6er of Shandy in the fridge to swig when I'm sweating my ass off on the deck, grilling in the summertime. Perfect beer for something like that. Light, refreshing, and better tasting than a typical light beer. It's not something I would ever go into a bar and order, or drink...

Good review, summed up nicely by this quote: http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/28/rev...le-chromecast/ And just to confirm what was mentioned above about streaming your personal video library" video quality basically just limited by the quality of your wifi

I had to google that one, since I have yet to use Windows 8, but it looks like your problems is specific to that OS(yay, win 8! :/ ) http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-1...r-windows.html

Our baby is technically almost 3 months old, but he was born 10 weeks premature, so developmentally if he were born on time, he'd only be about 2 weeks old right now, he's been home from the hospital for about 4 weeks now. His last weigh-in with a home health nurse was 6lbs 6oz, but that was 2...

I definitely enjoy a good meal(I'm a fatty), and I've eaten at a lot of well know chefs restaurants, like Emeril, Booby Flay, Wolfgang Puck, Mario Batali, Tom Colicchio and Joel Robuchon(in Vegas, not France) Expensive meals get to a point of diminishing returns pretty rapidly in my book...

Hope that works well, no more need at all for my Roku if so. Should work a little smoother than Samsung airplay if so, on airplay the video has to stream to your samsung phone/tablet, then it's streamed again to the airplay device/dongle. That eats up a lot of bandwith basically having to...

No, but several members of my family have bad allergic reactions to budweiser products, rashes, hives, swelling, etc. They must do something in the brewing of their beers that not many other companies do. Bud/bud light is the only beers that do this to my dad, my uncle, and a few of my...

A few of our friends have had gestational diabetes while they were pregnant, and in every case their pediatrician/OBGYN/hospital referred them to a professional dietitian(many hospitals have them on staff), I'd start with that. It's usually covered by insurance in a situation like that.

We finally just got Office 07 about 6 months ago, and just got upgraded to IE 8 from IE 6 at the same time. Our computers suck, and there isn't a thing I can do about it. goddamn corporate

Why the hell are these consoles needing so much RAM for their OS? Just a quick glance at my shitty Win XP desktop here at work that has all sorts of shitty, bloated work-related applications running on it, and it's only using about 1.5GB of my available RAM. 3+GB seems excessive for a console OS.

Decided to start up a lightning-strike marauder. Holy crap. I guess I didn't really realize that lightning strike works with any weapon, 1h or 2h. I'm only in act 2 normal, about level 25, and my 2-linked lightning strike + added weapon elemental damage is putting out almost 500dps with a...

Are they even in stores yet? The thing was just announced like 2 days ago...

The best idea I've seen lately isn't a new standard (b/g/n/ac) but a company that is building wireless repeaters into light bulbs. If this can be done for a reasonable price, every room in your home would have a wireless signal just as strong as standing in the room with your router. The new...

And Brett just stepped down as the Royals hitting coach today. That didn't last long, only about 2 months. :/

Do you groundslam 2H mace, or 1H mace + shield. I would almost thing that you'd need a shield to survive as melee in high-end maps.

Anyone have a melee-based build that is working well for them in end-game maps? 90% of my experience with PoE has been with ranged characters, LA Rangers, FP witches, dual sporkers, ethereal knife builds, etc. With the somewhat recent changes to melee and their skill tree areas, I was just...

Honestly, I don't ever see a need to get 3G/4G in a an android tablet, if you have an android phone. It's beyond easy to tether your tablet to your phone via bluetooth that doesn't even require rooting, or in some situations doesn't even require an additional app(depending on your hardware). I...

Something doesn't add up here: TCL Announces 50-Inch 4K HDTV for $999 http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2422232,00.asp How do they claim to be 120hz refresh rate, which isn't currently possibly via HDMI 1.4? Hrmmmmmm

I've used both Dropbox and Google Drive quite a bit, and I still prefer Dropbox, mainly because it's easier to share a dropbox amongst multiple people/phones if you have a family that you want to have all pictures located in 1 spot. For instance, I have my S4 phone, my wife's S3 phone, and my...

Interesting review of the device from Amazon from (supposedly) a developer who has had a Chromecast for several weeks

Thanks for the Amazon heads up, canceled my google play store order and went through them. Might as well save $6 if I can(and get faster Prime shipping)

I feel like a tigerdirect shill, but they also have the 120 GB Samsung 840 SSD(not Pro) on sale for $79 after rebate. Great deal for a cheap yet reliable SSD http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...u9s.xjcjFFZTtw

Power supplies do slowly degrade over time. After 4 or 5 years, you probably cant get a max of 600w from that power supply anymore. Now, who knows how much it has degraded as that depends on the quality of the capacitors and other parts. If you are doing a build that only needs like 400-450w...

It's sold out on the Google Play store already...damn edit - nevermind, tried a few more times and my order eventually went through, the site must be getting slammed. $41.92 after tax and cheapest shipping option It also comes with a voucher for 3 free months of Netflix, good for new...

Well, the device itself doesn't really *do* anything other than accept whatever you are streaming from your phone/tablet/chrome browser. So if you have an app on your device that plays the video you need, hopefully they update the app to be compatible with Chromecast. Basically your...

They made it sound like anyone could make their app compatible with it, if the developer so chooses. And yeah, $35 is the killer feature. It isn't necessarily any better than a Roku or Apple TV or whatever, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper.

Dongle that plugs into any TV HDMI port Send app content from your phone/tablet(supports Android and iOS) to your TV. Netflix, Youtube, etc. Also send any chrome page from your laptop to your TV. The device is completely autonomous, it turns your TV on if your TV isn't already on, and...

Google event talking about the new Nexus 7, so far: http://reviews.cnet.com/google-nexus-7/ Highlights include: full 1080p support (1920x1200 resolution to be exact) Android 4.3(which is also rolling out to existing nexus devices today) which has multiple-user profiles now. wireless...

Cheap RAM if anyone is doing a budget build http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...b1wV.o4mgRrtWg $40 per 8GB, it's slower timings (11-11-11-28), but it's damn cheap if someone is valuing price over performance. Rebate ends 7/31(limit 2)

You realize that phones and tablets can stream HD media to a TV right now, much less hook them up via an HDMI cable just like a console? Add a bluetooth wireless controller to a phone with this new Nvidia chip and you have a game system that is more powerful than a Ps3, and it fits in your...

Posted this in the new console thread, but posting here too: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/...es-and-tablets Nvidias new mobile CPU has more graphical power than the PS3, and approaching desktop GPUs

This might be the last generation for traditional consoles http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/...es-and-tablets Nvidias new mobile CPU has more graphical power than the PS3, and approaching desktop GPUs

I can't ever decide. Everytime I die on hardcore I get super pissed and swear I'm going to just play softcore from now on, and then within a day or two I'm back rolling up a new hardcore character. I've got probably 7 or 8 softcore characters all anywhere from level 50-65 or so, and all decked...

Meh, Kuerig works great for what it is, a cup of coffee that can be made quickly. I only need 1 cup before I head out the door to work, can put it on right before I walk out the door, and by the time I track down my keys, phone, wallet, etc, it's done and I'm out the door. Zero effort, and a...
