....resurrecting old thread... I ended up buying the RAZR pre-paid phone from T-Mobile as a simple cell phone a year ago. It has done the job well and certainly is inexpensive. However, it has one Achilles heel: texting Texting is key in the world of dating. The basic numeric keypad just...

Thank you, Colin! I do see that the adapter is dual voltage. I don't really see the convenience for the end-user. It's not like they gave me an 220v adapter plug. Perhaps this only reduces the cost for the manufacturer?

I bought a new Seagate 2TB External Drive. The power adapter has an arrow on it for "US/CN" and then a button below it that says "Push". If you press the button then it simply depresses and when you release the button it goes back to it's normal position. I have never seen anything like it...

...resurrecting dead thread I have these old computer speakers with a small subwoofer. It has a big brick for an ac adapter. It gets hot even when the speakers are turned off. This seems like a perfect example of an energy vampire and a perfect candidate for the Kill-A-Watt: Computer...

1. The 52" Samsung LCD TV I own is just over a month old and the 30-day return period at Fry's is over. I didn't buy any sort of additional warranty. Can I throw away the gigantic cardboard box now? 2. What do I clean the bezel and screen with? Thanks.

I noticed that target has a sale on T-Mobile pre-paid phones this week. Is this the phone you have? Is it a good buy? Target Weekly Ad: Best deals at Target stores now. - Weekly Ad Flash Experience - Page 15

I'm not sure of myself here, but one thing the US doesn't have is "true nation-wide" telecom compaines like British Telecom, France Telecom, Deutsche Telecom, and NTT who can implement services everywhere. We have this patchwork of companies that only provide certain services in certain...

It is simple. The Japanese/Koreans use the people's tax dollars to build their network. We let the free market do it. The problem with having the government do it is that they often pick the wrong technology/solution. The free market is better at choosing the best solution [assuming a level...

Who said anything about feeling entitled? If fountain drinks are that cheap, then offering free refills is an easy way to differentiate yourself from your competition. Certain customers won't really care, but some definitely will. I don't know why they haven't caught on to that yet.
