    Macbook or Alienware

    I am having a dilemma. I am looking for a new laptop computer and am not sure if I want to go with the Alienware M15x or a macbook pro. I have an iMac that I use for everyday computing, like email, word processing, music, keeping track of an organization that I run, etc. The mac does a great job...

    New iPod Shuffle

    This looks like a case of trying to innovate when there was really no need to. Maybe that is why they had a quiet release. Or was it not quiet? I had no idea something like this was coming.

    *WARM* GATEWAY P-6831 FX $689.99

    It is bad that your laptop died. I have had the same laptop for a while now with no problems. Just the luck of the draw I guess. I do feel for you and your experience with tech support.That is shitty. With that said you gave people an opposing opinion which will help in their decision. Just...

    Refurb Apple iBook G4 at Buy.com $329.00

    I guess I am not seeing your point here. Like I said I have this same computer. I do light stuff on it. Use it for travel, haul it around the house, etc. For 330 bucks it is a steal. It is like a netbook with benefits.

    Program for bike registration

    I am looking for a program that I can use to log bicycle registrations. Simply the name, address, phone, bike info and reg sticker number issued. Does not have to be extravagant but needs to have a decent look up system, preferably by the issued number. Any ideas?

    Gateway P-6831FX Review

    I pulled the trigger on this today. I was at Best Buy and they had a few in stock. I debated a bit because while I do have a gaming system that is adequate to play all games out there I am in need of a portable system for an upcoming surgery that will lay me up a while. So far so good. It took...

    "touch" iPod

    I bought the 16gig a couple weeks ago and I do like it. The entire experience is very smooth and very nice. BUT.... For the price I would have liked some other features. That is why I am holding out for some third party apps to fill it out a bit. I know it is what it is, a multimedia...

    Xbox 360 Sucks Stupid Xbox

    I opened my 360 and reseated the heatsinks over the CPU and GPU with some new thermal compound. Put it back together and it works like a charm. No extra cooling at all. I had sent it back for the free fix the first time. Three months later it died again. Cost me 130 bucks or more to get it...

    Xbox 360 repair story

    Bullshit. If I pay 300-400 bucks for something I want to use it the way I want, even if that means leaving it on for extended periods of time. I do nothing to my 360 besides play a game every now and then and it sits on a shelf with plenty of ventilation. It has been returned twice. Obviously...

    My 360 Died!

    I am on my second 360 too. :mad: The last one cost me 130 bucks to get fixed. BUT, after some digging around I found that the a lot of times the three red lights is nothing more than a bad fan. I did check my fans before sending it out and one was not running. I still sent it since I had...

    iTunes volume very low

    It seems that if I play a song in iTunes the volume is very low with the volume cranked. If I play the same song in VLC it is very loud. Is there some setting I am not getting that is cutting the volume? I have adjusted Sound Enhancer but that does very little to boost it up.

    Switchers: Where are you now?

    I switched about 6 months ago. I had never even used a mac before I got an iBook G4. I only bought that after reading a lot and my dell died. At that point I was still using an XP desktop. I finally got the nerve and bought the 20 in. Intel iMac. I am loving it. Everything is just perfect...

    PC Gaming vs. Console Gaming whats your pick?

    I have been leaning toward console gaming lately. It is nice when things just work out of the box and I can lay on the couch and relax while playing. I do miss mods though that on a PC would be plentiful. I will give it time and there will be mods for console games....and then we get...

    COD3 Xbox 360 vs PS3 vs Wii

    I actually thought the Wii looked ok. As for sharpness and detail I was impressed with the 360. I have both a 360 version and the Wii version and the difference is in the way the game is played for me. I can live with muddier graphics on the wii for the way it is played.

    am i getting too old for gaming?

    Damn right. My son is 10 and it takes me everything I have to beat him. I am 35 years old and still game most everyday. I can't devote the time I used to so it is short bursts of gaming. I also have converted from PC gaming to console. It is more comfortable on my couch then at the...

    Very good idea. Donating to Child's Play is the best idea so far. That would make some kids day.

    Madden 07 thoughs 360 NO NO

    I have to agree with you. From what I have played the defense is just tough to do anything with besides let the AI take over and when the play happens hit B get close and tackle. Maybe I just suck but when my son and I play and it is 50-40 at halftime something must be wrong. He just hits a...

    This is a thread for people who have quit WoW

    After quitting WOW I started working out and worked off that gut from sitting around all night eating and playing games. I also started a local football eague for the area youth. With the time involved in this starup project I have no time to play WOW. I also bought another guitar and play that...

    PC Games being released unfinished...An Opinion Piece

    Titan Quest. Good game when you can play it. Buggy buggy buggy. If you dont agree take a look at the forums they are overrun with people having crash issues among other things. I do have to agree though that it has nothing to do with piracy. Reasons vary for why people do it but they do.
