    I cant use my iPad as a reader and I am a little disappointed in that. The thing is simply too big and heavy. Still using stanza on iPhone but i like small text where I am sure plenty wouldn't.

    Noise Cancellation

    Those look exactly like the set of three sizes I got with some sony IEM's. I couldn't find one that would both stay in the ear and seal well but the large did come very close, basically they just get really slippery. On the comfort thing I think that's the triplefis fault, they are rather huge...

    Noise Cancellation

    I have that now with UE triplefi plus the comply foam tips. The isolation is very good and so is the sound but they are a little uncomfortable after a couple hours and I was thinking of switching to something else.

    Noise Cancellation

    This topic crossed my mind again recently, basically what I want to know are the noise cancellation headphones out now as good or better than some simple foamy earplugs? The rating methods between the two don't compare, which is on purpose I guess. I have tons of work safety 29 and 31 db rated...

    Question about a GPS

    New tomtom maps app has an update feature where people can rename streets or mark it as gone. I don't see how to add a street or put up a numbering correction. I hope to hell someone is reviewing this stuff though, up to several thousand changes on the app already.

    Wow, looking for some Tullamore and found that the state liquor store here has an online searchable inventory that even shows inbound on order: http://www.nh.gov/liquor/index.shtml That was not something I was expecting for a state run service.

    Windows Home Server / Home Server OS

    Arguments over, they deleted drive extender for vail last week. Something I realized a short while ago, if you rip movies in file mode and put them on WHS not all the files go on the same two drives. So it is entirely possible to wipe out your movie collection with one drive failure. Even...

    Why must TV forsake me?

    I have a friend in Maine that was using them for Internet and he finally is dumping them for DSL. They were jacking around the prices on him, eliminated the one he was on and in place added one really slow plan or the next step up was something that doubled his previous bill. I had them twice...

    Fanless power supply.

    I had a noisy iphone charger that I got for like $4 off ebay, looks just like the square 10W charger apple sells but looking closely you can tell it is a china knockoff which is fine by me. It made a high pitched noise when charging, super annoying and considering all the electronics around me...

    PC Gaming = World of Suck

    I bought new Vegas on a Bf deal but haven't played it at all yet, I don't want to get into it when I am traveling so much with long times away from it. Will leave it for winter. In iOS devices gears free and zombie farm grabbed a significant amount of my time in the last couple months. Sort of...

    Will Dynamic Disks survive a Vista to Win 7 upgrade?

    I think the only real trick is getting your drives in order so that the boot drive/partition are really the first one according to the motherboard. Things like putting the intended boot drive on SATA-0 with only one boot partition on it helps that, then it doesn't really matter what other drives...

    question Junking traditional TV for streaming only

    Computer worm. Is this possible, or fiction?

    In the automation industry where I work there is a lot of talk about this. Generally they are rather worried because till now there hasn't been any security concern for building management systems.

    Good lord, I can't even think of what I would do with all that. My queue is nearly empty for stuff that is available now, I browse around and look at the suggestions and I can't really find much I want to see. The saved queue for unreleased stuff is huge though.

    Microsoft security vs. Avast?

    To be clear you are not getting virus scan and to fix get paid version upgrade popup every couple of minutes? XP antivirus is very in your face, you would know if you had it.

    Transfer on the new Alien bluray box set was really good IMO, just a hint of grain but some could argue smoothed a little much in places, rather how I like it though. Totally worth buying that set again for like the third or fourth time, I am glad they did it justice.

    You want to be really careful on those throttle bodies, I think most are coated to avoid buildup. I know you have some filth in there now but it could become a much worse problem if you took the coating off. I know I have read about that in several service manuals. Don't get tempted to reach for...

    I need a bed

    I really like my Comfortair Cerulean, hard when you want it hard and soft when you want it soft. They say they came before the select comfort but I just like their prices. If I had to do it again I would skip the pillow top and get one of those memory foam toppers from Costco or something...
