    Unlocked android on ATT w/data disabled

    And, I'm glad I chatted instead of actually calling. About the pointlessness... meh, if it's what she wants then it's what she wants. I know why and it's two apps that are available on Android and iOS that won't be on any feature phones. Contract renewal comes up in two months and I might be...

    Unlocked android on ATT w/data disabled

    Just google "att imei sweep" and you'll find.. sometimes yes, sometimes no. I was seeing it mostly on the Blackberry results, but I'll just cough up the $180/year unless it's a sure thing. On the other hand, I'm thinking that something like the Miezu M9 that barely exists outside of China might...

    Unlocked android on ATT w/data disabled

    My wife insists she needs a smartphone but uses zero, and I mean ZERO internet - no email, no web, no mms. If I were to pick up an unlocked Tmo Vibrant or similar and just totally disable data would I get by? I'm not looking to get cheap unlimited data on the feature phone side, just no data...

    iPhone Ranks Highest in Customer Satisfaction Among Other Smartphones

    owned? Did you even bother reading more than one post? I'm an Android user. Also, Google Sync isn't mentioned in the docs of any phone that I'm aware of so saying "It's not any harder on Android. Plug in your phone and Google Sync asks" skips the steps of searching for how to sync your Outlook...

    iPhone Ranks Highest in Customer Satisfaction Among Other Smartphones

    That's a bit of a cherry picked situation. Sure if you use gmail for your contacts, it works that way. However, if you use Outlook it's not even close but on the iphone you just plug it in and itunes hooks you right up.. bam, all your contacts on the phone. I'm currently using an Android phone...

    How IT Pros Cheat on Certification Exams

    This is completely untrue. Even temp agency exams are sophisticated enough to allow for you to complete questions in the manner you described. OTOH, this article seemed to me to be more about trying to steer you toward buying the provider's "licensed" study materials than about cheating.

    1 cable box, 2 tvs?

    I believe that TWC's boxes output via HDMI and component at the same time. Realistically, there'd be almost zero difference in the picture quality and you could get a set of component cables on the cheap.

    Just ordered Ceton InfiniTV 4.

    You just need to skip the parts where they are compressing the files. That's not related to commercial skip anyway.

    Thinking About Going HTPC

    commercial skipping help please...

    If the guides are too complicated, MCEBuddy is supposed to make it pretty much automatic. You should be aware that, if you're recording on a cablecard setup, any protected content won't work.

    XBox as media extender

    The 360, despite the noise, is generally considered the best extender available. The forums at thegreenbutton.com are a pretty good source of info for all things media center. I want to say that I have a copy of the original xbox media center disk around here somewhere. But 1, I'm not sure...

    Thinking About Going HTPC

    Just grab a cheapish i5 quad from the Dell outlet. They can be had for under $450 with patience and coupons. Toss in good storage drive for about $100 and stick the pc in a corner somewere, sans monitor since you'll be using Remote Desktop anyway. Add in a $100 refurbed xbox 360 arcade to use as...

    XBox as media extender

    http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/28/how-to-using-a-media-center-pc-through-your-xbox/ No support in Vista or 7 And what you're really going to need to do is find a cheap 360 arcade to use as an extender. It's totally worth it, they work great. I have an HTPC server setup with a Ceton InfiniTV...
