That's why I also mentioned cleanliness, convenience, and ease of use.

It may be more expensive for the K-cup cup for cup, but when all you want is a single cup of coffee (that is also convenient, clean, easy, etc), you end up losing money by throwing out the rest of the pot.

Well, a short-term solution would be to not allow your PC to go into sleep mode. You can change power options in the Control Panel.

I second the tapestry idea but also with some carpet insulation stapled to the wall under it. Also, a fan will help!

Well, with the right microphone, you can actually record his lecture AND use OneNote to type out outline notes. It will sync your recordings to the outline so if you click a part of the outline it will start the recording at the moment you started typing that note! Even if you get a new laptop, you can still do this,…

This is actually a great idea and will allow you to listen to the professor more instead of furiously writing notes. I'm actually working on a study that looks at note-taking so it was funny to see this response since this is one of the alternatives to writing everything down!

Just remember its the cocoa in chocolate that makes it poisonous to dogs, not "chocolate" itself. The level of threat when it comes to chocolate is (from lowest to highest) White Chocolate < Milk Chocolate < Dark Chocolate < Baker's Chocolate.

...so instead of a strap on system with a DVD player and remote I can spent $900-1600 dollars for two screen that I have to sync with iTunes and have no DVD connectivity (and get to try to navigate in the bumpy back seat with my fingers?)? Sign me up!

When you build your own computer, if you are like me, you begin to obsess over the smallest crap and suddenly numbers mean everything. "Wait, I can get a GeForce xxx1 but the xxx2 is only $30 more!" or "I can have an internal USB 2.0 card, but for $35 more I can get the same thing in USB 3.0!" or "500GB HDD for $65,…

Are you wearing the socks around the house or paired with shoes?

This comment made my day.

Just a tip from someone who has gone down the automation road:

...just make sure if you need to take the medicine more than once a day to let it cure on the cap without being on the medicine bottle.

I've used the file renaming trick once or twice to buy me some extra time during finals in graduate school. The KEY is to not give them the actual completed paper until they email you back and say the file is corrupt. The only thing fishier than getting a screwed up file is getting the correct one without any…

I know the thing that has helped me get more sleep and a better quality of sleep was to look at my daily routine and make some necessary changes that were in my best interest. Being a graduate student, I always have a ton to do and never enough time to do it, and I usually ended up starting my work at around 9pm and…

I can understand not wanting the clutter and even integration between services like Google+ and basic search, but I don't understand the big uproar about Google favoring Google+ results on the search engine that Google owns and operates.

To be fair, you can easily buy Dublin Dr. Pepper off their website and via the phone. They also carry it on fountain machines here in Norman, OK. Dr. Pepper sucks for this, but the Dublin group did break their contract agreement.

Me either. I can't see 3G service on the Prime being cheaper than a hotspot option on your phone, it'd just be one less contract to worry about.

To me the integrated keyboard/battery/hub/card reader is what puts this and the older transformer above the other tablets. It actually makes this a device one can be productive on, such as taking class notes or editing powerpoints with the precision and speed of a mouse and keyboard (if needed). When it isn't needed,…

To be honest, a little forethought and the whole no 3G/4G business can be worked around. You can tether just about any android phone via bluetooth or cable, use a hotspot, or just have the forethought to load the tablet up with what you need for the day. I don't see this tablet as a phone replacement so I can see…
