    Amazon Prime Is Just $73 This Weekend

    Have to agree with this. I can't recall ever not receiving my packages in 2 days, some even being delivered on Sunday's. Also, I got my first year of Prime for free with my Amazon Fire phone (and got the phone for right around $100) and I just hopped on chat with Amazon and was able to get...

    Cord Cutters Grew 44% Last Four Years

    Moved about a month ago. Just got FIOS internet and MagicJack for phone and didn't bother with TV. It's been an adjustment, but it's a change for the better; my wallet also certainly thinks so. I do have Netflix and I've not yet to been unable to find something on it to watch when the mood has...

    Using TMobile USA LG 2GX Phone in London on TMobile UK Service

    It's a no-contract monthly 4G plan that's pretty new (3 months maybe) so not likely TMobile would have been forthcoming with the code so I didn't bother with them, although I've been with TMobile with this same mobile number for many years w/ various contract, prepaid, and now a no-contract...

    Using TMobile USA LG 2GX Phone in London on TMobile UK Service

    Hoping some of you may have be able to help me out here. I'm flying to London next week and my current 'monthly 4g' plan with TMobile USA doesn't allow international calling/roaming and I'm not signing a new contract and buying a more expensive plan for what will only be a once-or-twice-per-year...

    Where are the Notebook/Tablet hybrids?

    I wanted virtually the same thing recently. I ended up choosing a Samsung Series 7 Slate and purchased a bluetooth Logitech keyboard (its case doubles as a stand for the tablet) and mouse for more intensive usage. I keep it all in a small Case Logic messenger bag. It's not ideal; the Slate's...

    Need advise - looking for laptop or ultrabook with a few specific features

    Talked with the MS Store yesterday and they agreed to do a "return and rebuy". I received the new S7S today and a prepaid shipping label to send the defective unit back. Screen looks great on this one -- only a small amount of light bleed in the top right corner of the screen, but it's a...

    Need advise - looking for laptop or ultrabook with a few specific features

    Received the S7S today and had some time to play with it. It's a pretty cool device and I think it'll suit my needs well. Unfortunately, looks like the unit I received is going back -- the screen has several flaws in it sadly. I've noticed a few small finger print smudges, several particles of...

    Need advise - looking for laptop or ultrabook with a few specific features

    Thanks! Will do. It should be here Monday or Tuesday if all goes to plan. I think I'll enjoy the tablet form factor, particularly when not using it for work. Also, definitely curious about the Windows 8 consumer preview -- I haven't played with Win8 at all yet.

    Need advise - looking for laptop or ultrabook with a few specific features

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone. After several more hours of research and internal deliberation, I've decided to try my luck with a Samsung Series 7 slate after all. The screen resolution is lower than I'd like, but it won't be my main computing device (unless I'm traveling, and even then...

    Hoping you guys and gals can help me out. I'm looking for a laptop or ultrabook with the following minimum specs: * i5 or i7 (or AMD equivalent) CPU * 4 Gigs RAM * 1600x900 resolution display (1440x900 might be acceptable) * 128 Gigs or larger SSD (while not ideal, if it's user replaceable I...

    Why HDMI Brands Don't Matter

    Ditto. I've bought lots of cables of various types (hdmi, dvi, vga, component, audio, power, etc.) from monoprice over the years. All of them have performed great except the RCA to 3.5mm cables. The 3.5mm cables always ended up with problems right at the connector/wire joints.

    RIM Responds to iPhone 4 Press Conference

    Ha! I had a friend do that exact thing to me today when I saw him with his new iPhone 4, mentioned the antenna issue, asked if he had problems with it, and if he was going to pick up a free bumper. I just shrugged his remarks off ... no sense in starting an argument over something so silly as a...

    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    You addressed your question to hydrafear, but I thought I'd chime in. I ordered 3 sets or "pure white" LED rope lighting from Orange Tree Trade (orangetreetrade.com) in Nov. 2009 for my computer LCD's and plasma TV and they've been working fantastically ever since (used daily for all 3 screens...
