I'll use this to stream music off my ipad to my home theater.

I carry a pump, some basic tools, cash, ID, a spare tube & patches. Consider carefully if the expense for a lighter (carbon, etc.) bike is worth it. A heavier bike will only hurt you during acceleration and climbing. Look at the overall weight... a few lbs is not going to make a huge...

Well, I use adblock to eliminate the ads. One complaint I do have is the lack of Right-Click functionality when in the 'reply' window. Firefox allows you to right click on a word to correct the spelling. With the new forum, a copy-cut-paste pop up is used. Does anyone actually use a mouse...

I would talk to a local Doberman rescue organization. They will know who the responsible breeders are in the area. Also, you can consider picking up one of the rescue dogs. The rescue org will have already evaluated the dogs temperament (i.e. good around kids, other pets, etc.). My wife and...

Try PixelJunk Monsters on the PS3... it's essentially the same game but with more features. The game is a download, not a disc purchase.

BTW, those TST speakers look cheap. I was able to buy a set of quality Polk floorstanders for $300 used from Magnolia HiFi when they were liquidating that line. In other words, there are better products at better prices out there. For $200, you can get a pair of SVS SBS-01 mains and then...

I'm confused, you say you have $500 for a TV and then start talking about speaker systems. Let's assume you have $500 to spend on audio. Do you have a receiver? If not, look through Craigslist or other classifieds and get a used Denon, Pioneer, or Onkyo receiver (should be $100 or less). For...

It should be noted that ported subs can maintain higher SPLs at lower frequencies until a certain point where they sharply roll-off. A similar sealed sub will lack some of the output but will have a more gradual roll off, allowing it to play lower frequencies. Certain subs (like the SVS...

What don't you like about your current system? What are hoping to get out of the new system? B&W and Rotel products are starting to get into the higher end equipment (in terms of name brand). IMO, an Onkyo or Denon receiver would do just as good a job as the Rotel (not sure what you can buy...

A lot of those bluray drive problems ended up being dirty lenses (which you can clean yourself). IMO, the Xbox is a game system. The PS3 is an entertainment hub (which plays movies, games, etc.). If you want all the latest great games then stick with the Xbox platform (despite it's ring-of-death...

I have a few fixpencils laying around that I really like using. These are "lead holders" and operate a little differently than a mechanical pencil. The one I have is metal and virtually indestructible.

Completely and totally agree. I used to watch MNF every week (even when Dennis Miller was on) and had to stop... I could not stand hearing Tony blather on about things he knew nothing about. I really wish Ron J. would have completely shot him down a few times each game, that would have at least...

What specific problems are you having? "Does not do justice" is kind of vague. The Bithead amp should be more than capable of driving the HD580s (in terms of power). Are you sure that your computer settings are correct? If you are just looking for an upgrade, do you still want an all in one...

Agreed. I think having zero humans (except old video) in the movie could have made a better film but IMO that direction would kill the family aspect of the movie.

Did anyone else feel that the Carl&Ellie segment was overly manipulative (emotionally)? I think they hit every possible button except having a pet dog get run over by the bulldozer. I enjoyed the movie but have started to worry about Pixar's direction. During the past two movies, they seem to...
