While XBMC is more open and arguably more powerful/customizable, it does lack the platform support of Plex and the ability to play your media virtually anywhere. The fact that you can play your media on almost any device at home, then pick up where you left off or view something new at a friends place, hotel or even…

I bought the magnetic snap when it was on indiegogo, after I received it I gave all my suction cup mounts away. I like the magnetic snap one better than the Universal one above solely because it has a smaller footprint.

I have used this one for a while now and love it. If you don't use your CD player much then this one is great for you. http://www.mountek.com/shop/categorie…

I'm in the process of finishing one of these right now. Took a few different designs from around the internet and modified it so I could do it with minimal tools. Doing the last finishing touches now. Only spent about $150 on supplies and an extra $50 or so in tools and tool rentals. The one in this post requires…

Got married 6 months ago and a lot of what this article says is great advice. We were able to have a blast at our wedding and here are a few things that I recommend:

Yes, as Andy stated Plex will do that. The one thing to consider tho is in order to use the Chromecast with Plex as of now you need to sign up for Plexpass, a subscription to get new features quickly. If you were to get a Roku you could stream to there without a Plexpass subscription. I currently have both a Roku…

This post has a lot of great advice. Last year at this time I went through this process. I looked online and in the bigger chains a bunch to get an idea of what I wanted to get my now wife and they were great for ideas. I recommend working with a local jeweler if you have the chance. They do have to compete with…

Eye round can definitely be used if you can't get ribeye. If you can't bet it thin enough, get a heavy duty ziplock bag and use a meat tenderizer or a small pot/pan to flatten it out as thin as possible. It will make it cook correctly and make it more tender. I'm from Philly and if you want to make the more…

I use this one and have for a few years now. I use it while grilling, smoking, baking and even when I brew beer. Usually really cheap to buy off of amazon.

Jawbone JAMBOX is sold out for all but one style

This is a pretty good guide: http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/14/set…

From most used to least, my order is: Phone, Desktop, Laptop, then Tablet. If I had more say over my devices at work it would be Phone, Laptop, Tablet, then Desktop. My phone (iPhone 5) is always with me at work, home and in the car. As of now my desktop (higher end Windows 7 HP Z220) is used all day at work but…

I had the same issue with my fiances cat. (I too hate the idea of a cat on anywhere I eat or prepare food). I was bound and determined to get it to stop and found a way that worked for me. It was a two fold approach, online I found the suggestions of double sided tape, and my other tactic was a motion sensor air…

I completely agree. The way you handle the check situation is exactly the same way I used to before I was engaged. Went on a couple of dates with girls I met online and if we both didn't want to meet up again we split the bill, if I didn't want to meet up again but they did I picked up the bill. If I asked a girl…

Yes it can harbor bacteria. Most water filters are filled with activated carbon that remove byproducts of disinfection. After all of the active sites on the carbon are used, the filter acts as a passive filter only removing particulate matter. Since public water systems are usually chlorinated, some have ozone, the…

Depending on your spring, it could be much worse for you than any other form! Pretty much like drinking water from a creek. If the spring is proven to NOT be under the direct influence of surface water (GWUDI is the abbreviation and stands for Ground Water Under Direct Influence), it is safe and what you want to…

I agree bio oil works well for scars. Great for other skin issues as well.

I use all three major OS's like some other people have mentioned. OSX 10.8 on my MBP is my everyday, Windows 7 on my work desktop (Civil/Environmental engineering work), and I have a triple boot 2006 iMac I bought off of ebay for real cheap and upgraded the processor and a few other things that runs OSX 10.7, Windows…
