    Deadpool (2016)

    I loved the movie. Very, very funny. I'm not surprised it's doing well.

    David Bowie (1947-2016)

    I have to agree. A lot of those musicians pushed their bodies pretty hard and I wouldn't be surprised if quite a few of them don't live into their 80's or beyond. A little scary that the musicians that I started listening to as a teenager are starting to die. I guess that it happens to...

    Movie Theatre Etiquette

    /\/\ It's sad because so many people seem to be under the same delusion as the woman leaving that voicemail. I wish there was an Alamo Drafthouse in MA so I could give them all of my movie going money. When I went to see The Hobbit the woman in front of me was clearly pissed when I politely...

    Fury (2014)

    There are scenes in End of Watch I simply can't get out of my head.

    Fury (2014)

    Maybe I'm reading too much into the scene with the German girls but I had a different take on it. When the crew is inside the tank they're like family and care very much about each other. When they're outside of the tank and not in battle they don't necessarily like each other and I thought...

    iOS 8

    I've yet to update to the latest version of iOS 8. I've held off in case there are any issues. Do you know if the battery life issue you're experiencing is widespread? I just got 4 days, 13 hours with 13 hours of usage and I don't want to screw with battery life if there's no reason to. That...

    Favorite iOS 8 Apps Thread

    I use Goodreader for PDF's and sync to Dropbox. I don't know if it will fit your needs, though. I have a lot of apps on my phone but these are the ones I use the most: Flipboard Evernote Anylist Dropbox Weatherbug Workflowy Swype I'm about to start using 1Password.

    The iPhone 6 and 6+ buyers and owners thread

    I went for the Plus for the battery life as well and I'm really happy I did. I'm getting 2 1/2 days of standby with 12-13 hours of actual use. Much, much better than my 4S. I'm finding that I'm not taking my iPad out of my bag as much on the train now that I have the Plus. It's not a...

    The iPhone 6 and 6+ buyers and owners thread

    I'll be getting a hard case for the phone as soon as something I like comes out. For now it's going in the Spigen Slim Armor that supposed to arrive today. I had an Element case for my 4s but Element hasn't announced their 6+ cases yet. I don't mind using a hard case as long as it's not too...

    The iPhone 6 and 6+ buyers and owners thread

    I hope it's just an isolated incident or two. I always keep my phone in my front pocket and I'm not too concerned about it right now. If this starts to become widespread I'll.....I'll.....where the hell does a guy put a phone if not in a pocket?

    The iPhone 6 and 6+ buyers and owners thread

    We finally figured it out. It was on the billing side for Verizon. My new billing zip code associated with the line hadn't updated and won't until the next cycle. After another hour on the phone with Verizon they finally asked me to try the old one and it worked immediately. So relieved. I...

    Huge fan of Swype and the only thing I missed when I switched to an iPhone. Enjoy!

    The iPhone 6 and 6+ buyers and owners thread

    My phone showed up today but won't activate. Apple says it's a Verizon problem and Verizon says it's an Apple problem. Spent almost 2 hours on the phone between both of them and another half an hour in live chat with Apple a little while ago and still no go. I have to call a 'Senior Advisor'...

    iPhone 6 Cases and Accessories Thread

    Thanks for the link to that lightning cable. I had already bought that case in red. I agree it looks great. I also bought a Spigen Slim Armor to try out and I'm interested in the Speck Candyshell Grips in black/gray when that comes out. After spending a small fortune on an Element aluminum...
