It is an improvement, but on a smaller screen think firefox on a phone, it was harder to login the the main page.

What is the big deal about the shared family folder? Couldn't you just share the account logins anyway?

There is a problem with buying a car in the cold months, you may not be able to adequately check the A/C for the heat of the summer. I had that happen to me.

I like my 13.3" screen with a dock / external monitors when I'm at the office.

When things are free that need your data, just remember that you are the product. I hate to sound that way, but I really don't think companies are giving us great apps for free without gaining something in return.

Glad you followed the format. Plus I'm glad I'm not the only one.

An old Linksys-WRT54G running dd-wrt. Sure it is a little bigger than the others mentioned, but it still fits in my suitcase.

I am a big fan of my TabletPC with OneNote. I also have a slate device running windows7 and OneNote that I use.

I'm not sure which way this is going to push me. My initial thought is that Prime becomes a better deal for me.

Save for 10 months and then purchase it.

Copy is another service that doesn't currently limit your referrals. You earn 5GB for each referral. Copy is a service provided by Barracuda. If you haven't heard of Copy, it is the service that gives you 15GB space free, and 20GB if you click on a referral link like this one https://copy.com?r=FJ0ixF

I agree that most people don't know how to use them properly and things get lost.

We've shown you numerous Windows tips over the years, like how to get more powerful sorting options in Windows Explorer, how to create your own Windows 8 installation disc, and how to shut down Windows 8 with a keyboard command. And if that's enough for you, we've even rounded up the top 10 things you can do on your…

I would second that. One can never be too careful with any electrical components.

I didn't mean to imply it was dumb. I actually don't mind the process myself.

Time vs Money is another thing that needs to be considered. You can typically get more bang for your buck building, but sometimes the research / time to put it together isn't worth it (as mentioned by others when it is for someone else).

You could also do the same thing with Copy or any of the other cloud sync services. If you haven't heard of Copy, it is the service that gives you 15GB space free, and 20GB if you click on a referral link like this one https://copy.com?r=FJ0ixF

I like their cables, but I hadn't tried any of the hardware like a mouse. Good to know about it the next time I'm looking to replace a keyboard / mouse.

I think it is a right tool for the job mentality. There are times the portability of a 7" is great, but like you said if you are reading something like a comic 10" is better. I have found that after picking up a Note2 for my phone, my 7" doesn't get used.
