Yup, Like Buser said, Tmobile has a real unlimited plan again. They started it up again at the beginning of September. And at least where I live (ABQ, NM) Tmobile's service beats the hell out of Sprint.

Kid seats are still just 5 bucks too.

Yeah, only kicker with ABQ is the same that the Balloon Fiesta is facing. Dwindling spots to land safely. They could have done southern Torrance County. Other than a few small towns there's a whole lot of nothing out there. Plus there's still some protection from the wind from the Manzanos.

If they want to wait for no winds, then Roswell was a pretty crappy place to choose. Out here in New Mexico we consistently have some kind of winds, especially out on the Eastern Plains. And it's fall right now, so it's even more windy than normal.

NM generally has pretty stable weather. We're still getting into the 70's during the day. The only thing can really screw these things up out here is the wind. On the eastern plains (where Roswell is located) the winds can hit gusts of 70-80mph pretty damn regularly.

The GTS-R is the sexist Viper alive. Following closely behind it would be the last SRT10 ACR, just before the current redesign.

I think it will depend on what direction MS decides to go. If they go the route of Apple with iOS and making it locked down, then I agree with you (although I don't see that happening on the desktop side). If they go the route of Google with Android, then maybe by default you can only install from their store, but…

I was very pleasantly surprised. Maybe MS has finally pulled their head out of their ass?

If you want to appear in the Windows App Store, sure. But any game that's out now or released in the future can just run in desktop mode like every other program that's ever been made for Windows. I'm running a couple of steam games on my laptop right now that have no issues at all.

Yes, but this isn't a GS3. This is an HTC. I've only ever owned 1 Samsung smartphone, but that thing was of questionable durability. I currently own an HTC Amaze, and that thing is built like a beast. In my experience an HTC is much, much more durable than a Samsung.

1000x yes! I love everything about these pens!

It's definitely made me a fan of Win 8. There really are some nifty new features once you get past dealing with Metro.

I also did a BIOS update which appears to have sped up POST since then.

Well, I am including the POST screen. I never got around to actually timing it from the handoff to Windows itself.

Well it depends on the machine. On my particular laptop it took a bit longer.

I only ever use the search in the Start Menu for programs. Everything else I have set up differently.

In my experience as a computer tech, everybody hates change. I've got customers who don't want to upgrade to Win 7 because "There's nothing wrong with XP!" I generally try to play with all the new OSes before they come out. And while I wasn't initially sold in Win 8, after experiencing it fully on a computer (and…

Nah, it was clean Windows 7 I was comparing to.

I'll be the guy to say this I guess, but Windows 8 is actually really good. The only part that's bad about it is the Metro screen replacing the start menu. Grab Start8 by Stardock or classic shell and that will give you back a start menu and you don't ever have to look at the Metro screen.
