I went with Dropbox when they had the most features. I don't know about how they fare feature-wise now but I do have box, dropbox, ms onedrive, and google drive. I find that Dropbox still seems to work best. I use it to hold documents I want to access from my phone, ipad, work pc and home pc...
I never use the headphone jack. My iphone connects to my car and home speakers via bluetooth. I prefer a shuffle/nano for yard work and the gym where I do use headphones. I could care less about a thinner phone though. I would like to see better battery life instead.
I came here to say the same thing. I just turned adblock on for the site and will see about turning it off next week. The MSI ad obviously blocks material but the quantity of ads seems to have jumped tenfold. For the record, I use Windows 7 and see the issue in both Chrome and Firefox...
If you use USB and connect to your PC to update, then it is probably an issue with the USB connection. I had horribly slow backup and update times a couple of years ago and it turned out that a PC refresh (new mobo/CPU) fixed the problem. There was some issue with the way my old mobo handled...
I updated my iphone 5s and ipad 3 yesterday afternoon. The updates went smoothly and I had no space issues. Both devices had at least 2GB free prior to the update.
I haven't had the chance to play with the ipad much yet but I did like that the browser bars minimized when scrolling down. That...
For the 5s, I just waited until later in the day. Every place sells out of the base phones but the rep I bought my phone from said they never have issues with selling out of the large storage ones (64GB for 5s and 128GB for the 6). Of course, this doesn't help if you want the 16GB version. I...
I like my ipad and iphone but that watch is ugly. I hate wearing watches and would only consider moving to one if it completely replaced the need for a phone. I don't see that happening anytime soon.
I could see using one at a gym if it could monitor my workout and play music to a bluetooth...
I believe one of the original plans for marketing NFC on Android phones was the London Olympics in 2012. The plan was to use NFC for payments and the Underground. It turned out that NFC is too slow to be used for the metro turnstyle system so that marketing plan died.
The reviews of it still indicate too many issues for my liking. It looks like I would need an additional $150 in cables to connect an iPhone 5s. Only supported apps will work through the connection. Apple's music app is one of the apps that doesn't play nice. To play back a playlist, you need...
I'm in the same boat. The one disappointment is that it will require a corded connection for all of the features. I bought a hidden connector that lets me stream audio to the system but I would really like to see the name on incoming calls, add a speakerphone and be able to see maps. My...
Damn. I bought one about a couple of months ago for $370.
Great unit. Easy to set up and I have had zero issues so far. It is much faster to access even over the internet than my old WHS unit (Acer H340). The one issue I have found so far is their backup software is a bit lacking. I...
iPhone 5s. I have always built my own computers and dealt with the little bugs that pop up as they happen. I want a phone that just works and feel that the closed Apple environment has done that. I still get access to great apps but I don't have to worry about whether an app will play nice...
I checked out house call but it looked like I had to buy something from a partner site to download the free version so I skipped that.
I downloaded Avast and the quick scan came back clean. I then ran the scan at boot option and that came back clear. It noticed errors with a few zip files...
I need help troubleshooting my main pc, the top one in my signature.
Over the last week, I have walked in to find that my computer is not responding. All but one time, the screen was in power save mode and it wouldn't wake up. It would go to the Windows safe mode start screen after I...
I already have it on my iPad 3. I was just commenting that because I had used the Kindle app and Amazon music instead of Apple's book and music store, I could freely move between mobile OS.
I like the size of the 10" iPad for browsing the internet and playing games but it is a bit awkward...
I have a 3 and was thinking of switching to the mini w/ retina. However, they are rolling out google fiber in the near future and a friend reminded me the remote would be a Nexus 7 (or newer device). I could use that for my books (always used Amazon to buy music and books) and just keep the 3...
Just a quick followup on my experience with AT&T.
I have been with them for around 15 years (even the change to Cingular and back). I have always had good luck with them during this time. This was my first bad experience. When I made my previous post, I also contacted them via email with my...
I picked up a black 64GB one at an AT&T store. During the purchase the sales rep told me they were required to include the Mobile Protection Pack, a $10/mo insurance plan, to all iPhone sales that day. When I said I wasn't interested, he explained that it was required on all sales but I could...
More pixels in a camera or a screen do not make a better product. Their is a point of diminishing returns. I think the pixel density is great for the size of the screen on an iPhone. Adding more pixels might make it minutely sharper but at what cost to the CPU/GPU/RAM/battery. I would rather...
I have a buddy shopping for a smaller laptop. He currently has a 17". I believe he has been focusing on AMD A8's because of their battery life. He would like something smaller to travel with. I am pretty sure gaming is not a concern. It should be suitable for working on software, possibly VM...
I have a Fujitsu Scansnap S1500 (now iX500) at home. They run around $450 new but you do see them on sale occasionally. They autofeed and scan both sides at the same time in color. I probably scanned a few thousand pages when I first got it and wanted to ditch all my old paper records. I now...
I had several LG's that all had issues. Moved to a Panasonic and couldn't be happier. It handles Netflix, Hulu (too damn many commercials) and Amazon Instantwatch.
Maybe this product is designed for a target market. When this was first announced I saw someone post a comment on another board that you would only need 128GB of space if you fell into certain categories. It was followed by a series of pictures of people in various jobs, like a doctor...
Okay. I have a followup. I finally to playing back a bluray iso. The frame will freeze up or stutter for a second about once every minute. Audio keeps going during this time.
I'm using TMT 5 for playback and have anydvdhd running in the background. However, I typically remove protection...
It looks like you are correct kac77. I had tried some troubleshooting on my own prior to posting and tried searching for an answer with no luck. After I posted, I started going page by page through posts here and found some similar issues and they mentioned checking the video card settings...
I have noticed some choppiness in video playback of high definition material, 720p or above, on my HTPC. My specs are in my signature. It is the second computer listed. 1080p material is almost unwatchable. I would describe it as skipping. It really becomes noticeable with movement like a...
Not really a big deal with the iPad. It looks like an excuse to add another device with the new connector and add LTE for more markets. The iPad 3 is snappy enough I don't think the processor will make that much of a difference.
Looks like this might be the best place for my questions. I am in a similar situation as the OP. I have my music, itunes folder, ebooks and audio books spread about but would like to consolidate everything on the server. This has become more important now that I went to a 256GB SSD that is...
I have both an ipad and an iphone. I love the devices because they do what I need but I definitely miss a mechanical keyboard. For short messages, I will make do with the on screen keyboard but when traveling abroad and writing longer messages, I like a keyboard. I bought a pair of wingstands...
I'm not big on the nano replacement. I like the integrated clip for using it at the gym. I could care less about video on a 2.5" screen. It's a bit of a step backwards.
The touch is a nice upgrade but with the proliferation of iphones, it seems like more people will just hand their old...
I missed the live blogging but a quick look at Engadgets article said the 4:3 ratio was temporary on apps. A few of the Apple ones, (movies, garage band, ?) are ready for the new aspect and they will have something out soon for adjusting other apps.
I have a 4s but will stick with it for...
