I ditched cable a few years ago because it was over$150 a month for cable, phone, internet. Just do internet now for like $70, plus Netflix and Hulu. And then kids wanted Direct TV so they could watch sports, which was $35 a month, then went up to $40 when ATT bought them, and is now going up to...

I looked

Picked one of these up at Costco a couple months back. 2nd monitor for an iMac for the wife. Looked great, but it had an annoying whine to it that you just could not ignore. Tried all kinds of different brightness settings, different HDMI and Display Port cables, it just wouldn't go away. Might...

They are all out of stock at Newegg. The listed prices haven't gone up, but you can't buy them.

That is funny they are so late to the game. Amazon has delivered on Saturday using carriers like OnTrac for a while, and now even does Sunday delivery free with Amazon Prime.

I also just subscribed to Hulu for the commercial free option. If Hulu doesn't have current shows, there is no point in keeping the service. Netflix and Amazon Prime have plenty of content.

Two days this week I've had packages delivered while I was getting ready to leave the house, before 5:00 am. They're starting crazy early.

I'm way too old to be considered a Millennial, but I am a recovering Facebook user. :p Turned off my account some months ago because I was becoming one of those thumb-staring zombies. For about a week I missed checking it and feared I would be missing out on stuff. I got over that. A few...

We have charging stations in front of my office. We got a small subsidy/stipend to cover the inconvenience of the construction project. The company that manages the stations paid for the install, and charging is not free - you have an account and you pay different rates depending on if you use...

I had Hulu Plus for a year or so when I cut the cord. The kids only used Netflix and Amazon, wife and I don't really watch anything but movies occasionally. Hulu just wasn't worth $8 a month plus the ads. Especially the same effin' ads over and over and over again. So I had to cancel it. Haven't...

bump for looking

Same here, except running my i5 at 4.5 ghz. Not any great reason to upgrade. Only a 6 or 8 core would really be a big bump for me when I encode video or process raw photos, but just not worth it yet with the price of DDR4.

My company did a similar bike build for kids activity at one of our sales meetings. We had to earn virtual money doing various team building activities, and then with the money we could buy tools, the bikes, and helmets. Then we assembled them. Teams of 8 to 10 and each team built two bikes...
