Count me as an iTunes lover. My library is about 1TB and I find it to be plenty fast on my MBP with OS X. It's definitely slower on Windows though.

"Someone help this man find his balls!"

Or... "Let's not mention that to the pilots."

No, I didn't miss the point, see my 4th paragraph, "if you're going analog out from a cheap-ass PC into external speakers when you could go optical out from your PC into this box, and then into your speakers, the $170 may very well be a good investment."

"Well, I'm inclined to believe that the Surface covers are better keyboards than most of what's available for every other tablet."

Nope, only Surface Pro runs the full desktop version of Office. Surface RT runs a "special" version of Office that lacks many features (and has all kinds of issues). To be fair, Office needed to be ported for it to run on RT, but being fair in criticism doesn't help the consumer who needs a full version of Office.

Maybe the thinking is that had they gone through a clinic, the clinic would've checked on the mother-to-be's financial status and ability to support herself with the child. When I was in college I went to a clinic to donate and was somewhat surprised out how many rules, policies, and regulations were in place for the…

As far as I'm concerned, anyone who didn't create an Amazon Wish List can suck coal or be happy with a gift to WorldVision.org.

Ah, but that's just it. The Surface RT does NOT run the full version of MS Office. Further, running Office on a tablet kind of sucks (at least for now). On iOS and Android, there are a number of better suited tablet apps that are compatible with Office and since they're tablet optimized, they actually make much…

A lot of people seem surprised that Flickr has a Pro option or that "it wasn't free". Flickr was and still is free for standard accounts. You can do a lot with a free standard account, but if you're say a real photographer, you can get a Pro account, which is ridiculously cheap for what you get.

"Why the fuck would I want the OPTION of friends to know what I'm watching?"

"Why the fuck would I want the OPTION of friends to know what I'm watching?"

That's great, but uhm... can we hear from at least one of them‽

Ya, I've spent some time with the Surface RT and think it sucks and will ultimately be abandoned as a failure by Microsoft as they focus on the Surface Pro or exit the hardware side of tablets altogether.

My problem is that I often turn off my iPhone, and don't have a data plan. Why can't either Apple Maps or Google Maps still provide me with directions or at least start me in the right direction.

I don't think I'm qualified to speak about Lexus Nexus. My understanding is that's used for legitimate news/legal purposes and searching public records is an actual service. This differs from mugshots.com (and others) where the sole purpose is to make money off exploiting the promotion of individuals (guilty or…

What pisses me off is that when a Google Search is done on my name a bunch of mug shots show up from these extortion sites. I don't have a mug shot, but it really doesn't look good to a potential client doing a Google search on me, and there's little I can do about it short of paying the extortion fee to every…

"The battery door on your car is a car. We're comparing phones to phones."

"And Apple's insinuation that the design would make the phone thicker is just another marketing ploy... the back panel on an iPhone is at least 3x thicker than the battery door on my Galaxy S3."

Not all external batteries are dongled. Some are case batteries and some attach at the bottom and allow you to hold the iPhone and battery as one unit.
