Those things happen. The best products in the world fail on occasion. Nothing is perfect. Sometimes the cheapest knockoff brands last forever. This is why you should never ever under any circumstances believe any reviews you read.

Sounds like you've had some bad luck with the drives. I've had nothing but good experience with Crucial's MLC-based lines. If you're going for longevity, I definitely wouldn't recommend the SLC buffered TLC Samsung uses in the EVO; however, durability is much more of an afterthought with SSDs than it was 3-5 years…

Before you do this, I recommend you speak with the professor. Let them know that you are interested. In some cases they can sign you in regardless of the cap (the registrar hates this but professors do it anyway). If they say they are full at least they know you are serious and you can ask to sit in just to see if a…

oh, I wasn't saying YOU were whining! Just some other folks. ;) Your comment was completely fine.

True and different classes require different methods of studying. For example anatomy is very visual, organic chemistry is more visual than regular chemistry. Some aspects of accounting are visual. Most classes tend to be more auditory, i.e. text based.

VOTE: Standard Dell Laptop Bag

we went one step further, when we remodeled. we have so many parties and friends over, that we put exterior access to one of our bathrooms, yes that means that there are 2 doors with locks for the bathroom, but you just open the door, go, and your back at the party.

The iPad. The only reason I bought it in the first place is because I was told it was incredibly handy for business school (TOTALLY untrue; I needed access to exceedingly high level Excel functions, which still aren't available and probably never will. I need way more processing power): lighter than a laptop, more…

This is the only thing to use for cleaning a stainless steel sink! I used to use steel wool or some Soft Scrub on a sponge, but this stuff works much better. Removes rust and stains quickly and easily.

The Kindle (Or E-Readers in general)

Everyone at Team Lifehacker is cool, but the one time I mentioned a few years back that I hadn't gotten onto the text expansion bandwagon yet was like standing in a room full of Android die-hards and saying something like "Actually I really like Apple's approach to UI design." The combination of concern for my mental…

Good point. I keep those numbers on my iPhone in 1Password. As far as credit card replacement, they can't always get it to you the next day. Amex is reliable for that, other companies not so much.

I was ready to sign up immediately. My husband does a lot of audiobooks and I do a lot of Kindle books... but the selection is sparse.

Agreed, kids should be allowed to be kids.

Parents should also be parents, not their kids' friend or buddy.
