Gulf Shores, AL. I know it is considered the "redneck Riviera", but it isn't nearly as commercialized as most of the Florida coastal cities. Great local food, white sands, and its only a 10 hr. drive from Lexington, KY which is where I live.

I have no qualms with that. I would love to see a similar article with Windows Phone. I think MS is trying to give customers the best of both worlds. I don't think they offer the best at either world, but do have a good compromises.

From my personal use, WP works well for me. Phone never crashes, syncs perfect over MS…

Not sure your body size or gender, so I am going to assume you are the average male between 20-40 y/o. Your calorie demand is probably around 2200 calories daily depending on your activity level. The average run of the mill oatmeal is about 150 calories per serving. It is not enough to be a complete breakfast. Throw…

Another WP inspired design. Sweet.

What apps are you talking about? The main one I will give you is Dropbox. we can read our files but can't save to it. We also have skydive with 10x the storage and full integration. My needs have been met for the most part, but I know some others wheels are different than mine.

For all the grief that Windows Phone gets from iOS and Android fans, I do see a lot of software companies and UI designers copying it's style. Its a case of "Its not good unless we do it".

Great point. Also, it is important to point out that for the reason you mentioned, 6 small meals a day is extra important for those doing any sort of weight training program. When blood sugar levels get low, the body turns to alternate sources of glucose. One of these is stored fat, the other, unfortunately is amino…

Potatoes are a healthy food when prepared properly. Carbs are not the devil, the human body runs on them.

Not sure, but I think that the chlorine evaporates out of the water. I used to do the same thing with the water that I was going to use in my drip coffee maker. I would set it out the night before. I could notice a difference in the taste of the coffee.

My parents live in the sticks of Kentucky. Their only option for broadband is in the form of a 3g usb modem or hotspot (or satellite internet, which is almost twice the cost). They only get 2 bars of service from Verizon. I was thinking of a way to make browsing there a much better experience. I came across some…

This article is true in terms of vitamin/mineral content for non-local produce purchased at the grocery store compared to canned vegetables/fruits. However, not so much for phytochemicals, which many of the main health benefits of a plant based diet are based. Pasteurization, all while is excellent for making our food…

Exactly. This is how I have my set. It is tilted down, and I cannot tell a color difference compared to my bedroom set that is at eye level. Mounting it high above a fire place is fine unless you are a videophile. The soot shouldn't be an issue either as long as you clean your fire place regularly, and have good air…

Windows automatically installs updates after you restart. Most users don't even know it happens. Some think this is good because they avoid the bubbles. My only issue is I restart maybe once per week.

A lot of these articles seem to deal with supplementation (which often exceeds actual needs of the nutrient) of these nutrients in the diet, rather than intake of foods that naturally contain them. It is the other phytonutrients in foods that make them more bioavailable and effective. The bottom line is a healthy…

" there's absolutely no evidence that there are any substantial health negatives to your body's intrinsic production of free radicals" Partially Correct (there is some, just not conclusive). Oxidation is a natural process of our physiology. What antioxidants DO protect from is external compounds that we introduce…

I believe you re the one interpreting the science of antioxidants wrong. They are not cures for anything, rather the are more of a preventative maintenance for your body. They quench free radicals and oxidation reactions in the body which in turn prevents damage. Oh, and there is TONS of research to back that up.

I wonder if Pete Thamel will catch any heat for this. He is always trying to destroy kid's college careers that go to schools he hates. Also, I wonder if ESPN will man up and say they crammed a hoax down our throats?

^^ Also, it really depends on what you use it for. The main knock I used to hear on netbooks is that, "ZOMG its so slow, it cant play 1080p or run Crisis! ZOMG it cant handle photoshop either." That's not what a "tablet" / netbook is for. It is for web browsing, email, word processing, note taking, etc. Which all of…

Ughh...not compatible with my Moto Atrix...

I think it is a fair price. I think people were hoping for something around $700-800 like acer's Iconia 710. That is the device I am actually interested in. Not as light, but has almost the same features (minus the touch/type cover).
