Taken from Reuters: LOS ANGELES, June 22 (Reuters) - A California man has sued Sony Corp. of America in a proposed class action, claiming the electronics maker failed to warn consumers that the center of the screens of its widescreen televisions darken if watched frequently in "normal" mode...

At first I thought it was from him drinking out the sink again, but my male cat is drooling. I've never seen a cat drool. I don't even know if this is normal. He seems to be acting relatively normal, a little more lazy than usual. But while he was sitting on my chest, I saw drops of saliva...

I'm 33. I don't drink or smoke, and despite the fact that I could lose about 20 lbs, I'm in decent shape. So I wasn't worried too much when I felt a sharp pain in my chest. I didn't get it often, it was completely random and wasn't associated with anything that I was doing or I was eating. I was...

Gamestop got mine in today, but yesterday I played the demo. I was a little disappointed. The land mission on Hoth left much to be desired, and I'd hate to have to play through a bunch of those. Add to the fact that Game Informer wasn't too impressed with it, I'm debating on picking it up or...

I plan on picking mine up as soon as Best Buy gets them in, but I thought it was strange that no one has started one yet. What gives? Nobody's picking this up :confused: ? Freddy C.

My wife had gotten pretty sick last month. Turns out she managed to get both kidneys and her bladder infected. She was in the hospital for 2 days while they tried to get everything under control. Well, she went to the doctor Monday to get a check-up, and guess what? The infection's gone, but...

I knew this was going to happen. I keep my DVD's on a bookshelf in a corner of our apartment. Well, guess what. I've run out of space. I've got about 250-300 DVD's. I was thinking about buying one or two CD cases that hold 100-200 discs and put them in there and store the actual cases in the...

My wife and I have been going back and forth about buying a car. We've managed to get by without one, but I'm beginning to see the benefits of having one around. So in a month or two we should have about $5k put aside (assuming something doesn't come up to eat away at it), and I was wondering if...

Because it's sitting on my desk next to me :D . Oh, the pain! Two and a half more hours `till I get to play hoops! I finished the first Street, all the clothes, all the courts, everything. Can't wait to dig into this one ... Freddy C.

I'm a huge Batman fan, and I've been waiting to hear any reviews on the new game that's coming out, and hoping that this one will be better than the others. Any info? With Zelda coming out next week and the new Game Boy, I need to figure out if I need to scrape up $50 more from somewhere ...

So not only do they get the two games already packed in AND the S-Controller, but now they get Halo! Microsoft is pulling out all the stops ... Check it out. Freddy C.

I don't know if this can be considered political, and if so, I apologize for starting the thread, but I just read that the US Postal Service will be "offering potassium iodide pills to their mail carriers to protect against thyroid cancer in the event of a radiological emergency"...

I picked it up at the grocery store today. Haven't really had the time to read it thorougly, but I did flip through it. Seems rather high-end. A lot of pictures, like a thicker version of the Interiors magazine. Anybody else picked it up yet? Freddy C.

I don't know if this is a PC question or a gaming hardware question, but I'm going to post it here because it's about hooking my game systems up to my router ... I currently have a 4-port router, of which 3 ports are being used 2 PC's and a laptop. I'm going to go broadband on my PS2, XBox...

Over the last few weeks, I've been feeling pretty run-down. Just really drained. I attributed it to my new life. I just got married, and I now have an 8-yr. old that I have to wake up at 5:30 AM to get him ready to go to school. I used to get up around 6:30, so to compensate I've been going to...

My wife, being the wonderful woman she is, has agreed to get me X-Box Live and a game for my birthday, so I'll be pre-ordering soon. But which game? I'm not really into sports, so football and basketball are out. And I want to be able to play with you guys, so I guess I'm asking what's the one...

Guys, The wife and I went ahead and got DSL from SBC/Ameritech while they had a deal going ($29.99 for 12 months). So we have two PC's connected to a Linksys 4-port router, and we're loving it. The router has a built-in NAT firewall, but I was wondering if we needed more protection than that...

For the XBox, anyway. Link Removed ... Freddy C.

A joke with my wife sparked an interesting question. Is there an "official" definition of "Middle-Class"? Like is there some household income minimum or something? We asked around and no one could give us a definite answer, but $50k-95K seemed to be the average response. Just curiosity more than...

I hate my cable company. They won't be offering cable modem service in my apartment complex for, well, they don't know! They have to "rewire" my building. And get this: our management company has a contract with these monkeys! I can't get any other cable service in my building! And to top it all...

A question for all you "legals" out there. I was in one of the stalls of one of our bathrooms and I happened to look up, and there's a vent. Call me paranoid, but it got me thinking: with things the way they are now days, with safety being a huge concern, could a company legally put cameras in...

Well, I did it. July 3rd, I took the leap. We went downtown, stood before the judge, and said "I do". And in the time between then and now, we've been asked over a dozen times "Does it feel different now". My question to you guys is ... is it suppose to? We feel pretty much the same as we did...

My sons birthday is coming up this weekend, and he's a Pokemon fanatic. I was thinking about picking up Pokemon Stadium 2 for the N64 and Pokemon Crystal for his Game Boy Color. The thing is, Stadium 2 is still $60!!! I was thinking about stopping by Gamestop and picking it up used for $40, but...

I was playing a demo of Dead or Alive on the `Box last night, and although it was VERY impressive, I miss SF. I haven't played a SF game in years, but when I did, that was the ONLY thing I'd play. Me and Ryu (Evil and not-so Evil) would rip into anyone foolish enough to cross our paths! Only my...

Click Link Removed. It ships EOM. $39 plus shipping :D ... Freddy C.

Me and my S.O. were watching tv, and we saw this commercial for I think was Turning Leaf wine. It was a guy in his kitchen making dinner for his girlfriend. It involved salmon, and a fruit that looked like an orange. But when he cut it open and squeezed it, it was red, or burgundy, or some other...

After reading about the reception it got in Japan, assuming it doesn't get any better, what will that mean for us? For Microsoft? Will it fall the way of the Neo Geo? Can the XBOX survive without strong support from Japan? Given it's specs and capabilities, not to mention the numbers in the US...

I just wanted to share my experience with you guys. I've been thinking about picking up the `Box since it launched, but with the Gamecube being $100 cheaper, I figured I'd get it out of the way, and pick up Mr. Gates machine in February. Well, I hunkered down and dropped the cash (plastic)...

State of Emergency is OUT! I was at Best Buy to pick up my XBox and they had some. Not many, but a few. Then, I went to Toy's R Us to pick up an AV Pack and they had a few there as well. Naturally, I had to pick it up. Too much pressure :D. I'm not home right now (DAMNIT!), so I haven't had a...

Me again. No, we haven't picked the ring yet :laugh:. That isn't until March. In the meantime, we've been going over a few other details, the wedding being one of them. After sitting down, figuring out, budgeting, going over the guest list (which blew the budget), we thought about doing...
