Same thing happened to me, but before the PayPal submission page. I resrtarted the upgrade assistant, and it proceeded through the second time. You might try re-running the assistant and see where it picks up at.

It's not the same thing at all. Your TV fakes 120Hz by making best guesses from the (60Hz) information at hand. I hate the herky-jerky "smoothness" it creates. (Moving Items seem to be standing still, then rush up to full speed. It's very unnaturual.) He's talking about capturing double...

Yet another reason I dumped my gmail/google account. It's been a rough ride, but my Android phone is working a-okay with NO google account logged in.

When DirecTV (and Dish and cable companies) can't even transmit SD streams without obvious, distracting compression artifacts, how in the world is UHD going to be any better? If you have the bandwitdth to do 4K or 8K, use it to fix your existing broadcasts!

Technically, you're correct, but we all know what he meant - "non widescreen". Until you get to ~24" 1920x1080(1200), I greatly prefer "4x3" / non-widescreen monitors. I refuse to give up vertical resolution (1440x900, 1680x1050, etc) as compared to my 1600x1200 20". Scrolling sucks!

Seems like a logical next step. I still would greatly prefer a physical connection, rather than wireless. Less complicated, more reliable, impervious to the new attack vectors created by wireless connections. I've refused to use my American Express card for the past several years, since...

What the hell.... In for one.

This Weller (or the similar analog dial one) is a great mid-range iron, 100X better than any non-temperature-controlled ($3-$50) iron. Tips are about $5, and are available from a tiny ~1mm pinpoint tip (detail work) up to a ~1/4" wide fat one (coils, ground traces, etc). Recovers from a...

Have to agree. This iron was the best ~$130 I've ever spent on my electronics hobby. Tips are cheap and last a long time.

I bought 5 of the 60GB version of this drive. Based on my experiences, I will not own another OCZ product in the foreseeable future. 1. Unable to reboot laptop without partition scrambling. 2. Unable to install Windows. (Was forced to clone from a working mechanical drive, and was then...

I generally think less of refurbs (as compared to used). With a used item, you really don't know if it's a good/poor model. With refurbs, you know the product has failed. If there are enough refurb items to gather up and put on sale, it must be a terrible quality product. That said, I do...

Looks like it's a pretty good deal to me, but it does have some limitations. Not "true" dual band. It's basically two separate APs working together. One can do Wireless N (300mbps) at 5GHz or 2.4GHz, the other only does Wireless G (54mbps) at 2.4 GHz. So if you want 5GHz+2.4GHz, your 2.4GHz is...

I haven't seen a good deal on woor for a LONG time, but I bit on this one. Cheap cameras are ~$25 ea, cheap DVRs are ~$100, so as long as one or the other is pretty decent, it's money well spent!

Awesome laptop. I'm using one as we speak. Same specs too. (except mine's a 15") I'd be asking twice as much!

It was probably a "promise" ring. He manned up and bought her a real ring for the wedding. :)

Yup, I've seen 'em. But, I dropped one, broke the handle/cover, and tore it apart to see if I could do something interesting with it. :)

Standard credit card. Without it, was too thin. Standard credit card is slightly thicker than the original sheet metal. It slides in firmly, but not too-tightly. Seems to work just fine. Other than the outer black casing (which would require glue or heat to reassemble correctly), you can try...

How I'm using mine :) (I'm good at pictures, not so much at words, which is why I've gotten myself in one too many delicate conundrums.)

I bought 5 (online with "pickup at store" option), picked them up last night on my way home. Took longer to find the Site-To-Store desk than it did for the employee to grab them for me. One of my co-workers got 15. (5 + 10 on seperate order) He also had no problems picking them up.

All my local Walmarts show "in stock" or "limited availability" I bought 5. My co-workers are loading up as well. Thanks OP!

I swear by it too. I have one main "box", and 4 AAA-transmitters. Almost bought another one too, as the $29.99 price is only $10 more than buying just an extra transmitter.

Is it the SetTopBox, or the remote control? If it's the remote (like with the Harmony 650), you might be able to use a different/universal remote to contorl the U-Verse box.

http://www.dailysteals.com $29.99, site advertises free shipping on Friday. If the site name doesn't make it clear.. this is a one day sale item. 4.5/5 stars on Amazon (and $50)

I don't doubt your experience. But looking at the 100+ reviews on the item he referred to, only ONE is less than 7/10. If you have feedback, please post a review on that item. I have bought LOTS of stuff there, and the reviews significantly affect my purchases. Please post it there so we can...

Not bad, but everyone should take a look at Monoprice's LCD brackets/stands too. Quad monitor mount ~$67: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?p_id=5559 Dual desk mount ~$39: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?p_id=5560 I haven't bought any of their desktop mounts, but I...

Stay away from the Vertex Plus drives. I bought 5 (60GB), had to return them all to Newegg. For an older laptop, they seemed like a perfect upgrade. Not top-tier SSD performance, but a huge upgrade over a mechanical drive. They DO NOT WORK with 945 or 965 chipsets, possibly others. Partition...

How's the (built-in) garbage collection? I'm looking at updating some 4 year old XP laptops. (And XP doesn't have TRIM support, obviously.) I tested with a Kingston V+100, and boot time went from 5min to 1.5min. These probably aren't as quick, but will hopefully still be a huge jump over...

What idiot spends $1.99 (or even $0.99) for a single TV episode? It's like buying water for your shower in individual $1.49 1-liter bottles.

I've been buying odds-and-ends computer parts from mwave for a couple years. (Fans, heatsink compound, wireless antennas, SATA cables, etc) If I've posted it in the HotDeals thread, I've likely purchased it. Mine arrived the same way, but are in working order. This is the first I've seen of...

Received my package of two (from AT&T) today.

Being PWM-controlled, I assume these will almost always be runmuch slower than the max speed 99% of the time. (Like major oem PCs -super quiet, unless fans are blocked, or external temp is high)

Deal is back on!

I've used nothing but Hitachis in my servers for 2+ years. No failures so far. (Excluding poorly-packed open-box drives from NewEgg)

Was a tough choice, as the new Roku 2 isn't THAT much more $$, unless you're needing/wanting wired Ethernet - then you've gotta buy the $100 one. But, for $45, I picked up one of the "old" ones to play with.

In the past year or two, most of my "open box" drive purchases were very poorly packed, but all my new drive purchases have been very well packed. Whenever I received poorly-packed drives (one layer of popped bubble wrap, sitting directly on bottom of box), I complain and offer to send...
