    Kingdom Rush was just released on Android. My favorite tower defense to date.

    Is there any flaws in my plan to get a phone from Craiglist and Switch to Straight Ta

    It doesn't even have to be stolen, that's the really scary part, and you might not find out for months. I could go out right now and: 1) sign a 2 year contract with ATT 2) pay $100-200 for GS3 3) Sell GS3 on craiglist for $400 4) stop paying bill 5) 2 months later, IMEI gets banned, not...

    Is there any flaws in my plan to get a phone from Craiglist and Switch to Straight Ta

    If you are buying a used phone, there are two major risks: a) the phone is stolen b) the phone is tied to a contract that the seller plans on stopping in the future In each case, there is a strong possibility the IMEI will be blocked on that network. If it's a stolen phone, you can check...

    Automatically disable Realtek onboard when using USB headset?

    See this thread - http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1656534&highlight=switcher It puts a nice icon in your toolbar to easily switch. I have the same issue, and this is by far the best solution right now.

    Are EBAY laptop batteries legit?

    Every Dell original battery I have ever owned has gone bad around the 13 month mark. I have always replaced them with Ebay batteries, and they last about as long, for 1/3 the price. No complaints here, just buy from a decent seller.

    Homebrewing kit @ Groupon $64

    For those looking for a pot, I would recommend grabbing one with a steamer basket included (bayou classic turkey pots have this option) if you expect you may enjoy the hobby. The transition to all grain brewing is extremely easy with the brew-in-a-bag (BIAB) technique, and the basket will...

    Audio device switcher for Windows 7

    Agreed, I would definitely donate. Great app, and it's shameful that this feature isn't built into Win7.

    Dell U3011 Successor

    Still isn't a Dell or HP 30" with an LED backlight, which seems like a logical next step. Even though it may be a step down in color accuracy, it would certainly make these thinner and cooler.

    Whats the best wireless headset for PC

    I have the Logi G930's and I love them. Decent sound, good mic, easy configuration. If they died today, I would buy another pair in a heartbeat.

    Another Samsung 120HZ model to be released in October

    So based on the S2XA750D shipping, we should see these in 2012 at the earliest?

    HP ZR30W or W3000H-BN or some other 30" for gaming?

    The U3011 has 23ms of input lag according to flatpanelshd and anandtech reviews. Not the best, and not the worst. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4070/dell-u3011-review-dells-new-30-inch-flagship/7

    120Hz 27" Monitor? Help me find what I want! :)

    The smoothing you speak of is actually what introduces the input lag you complain about. Any TV (not PC monitor) with 120hz is going to have the same issue. The SA27950D will give you that effect, without the input lag, if your system is fast enough to push framerates. Take a read through...

    gaming monitor: 24 or 27?

    I believe oled's image is correct for how SC2 handles resolutions, but not much else.

    Logitech G930 at Newegg. 90$ no MIR

    There really are not a lot of options for wireless PC headsets. These are amazing for $90, I've been very happy. The only caveat is you may have to move the dongle around to find a spot where it doesn't disconnect every so often.
