    Best Smartphone for Verizon and rooting

    So I'm due for an upgrade, and currently have the Droid Charge. If I had a choice I would get a Nexus 4 and be done with it, but since I can't get that on Verizon, that's not a choice. I'm going to root it, and install a stock Android on it, preferably 4.2 - I'm also considering buying one...

    Zune 80 died, recommend me a replacement

    OP here: I have a Droid Charge. Problem is: It does video playback via HDMI - NOT via the headphone jack as the Zune does. Unless someone can show me otherwise.

    Zune 80 died, recommend me a replacement

    That is NOT an iPod... Ideally it would be a simple player, and like the zune have video output via the headphone jack, I have the zune video cable wired into my head unit into my car, and would like to continue to use it (if possible). Any suggestions? Would like at least 64 gigs. Thanks.

    Senator: Employers Shouldn't Seek Site Passwords

    If I am ever in an interview with a company that asks for my passwords, my response will be "No. I take my security very seriously, and you have NO reason to ask for that information. It is not relevant to the position I am applying for, and has no bearing on my ability to do the job being...

    Steam 2011 Holiday Sale is here!!

    Dude. Just buy it. It's a crap ton of fun. At $3.74 it's a steal. It's an easy game play for a while, then set down and come back to it, and it's easy enough to pick back up. It's fun coming back to levels you've completed and look for ways to get a better score.

    Verizon is Abandoning Its FiOS TV & Internet Service

    And this was a surprise to anybody HOW? Their plan always was to roll it out to high population density areas with higher per capita incomes so they could charge more for the service and have higher population density to defray the installation costs. Once they hit the point of diminishing...

    xbox 360 dashboard update

    Yea, that is a big plus, and it added support for subtitles - not all movies have it but nice to see they are working on it. I just don't understand with the voice commands (which work GREAT IMHO) I can't say "Xbox Shutdown" to get it to turn off.

    Deus Ex Cover system

    I picked up DE:HR on sale the other day and tried it out, it's ok, and I think I will like it - I loved the original game, but is there some way to turn off the third person switch when your in cover? If I wanted to play Gears of War I'd fire up my 360. I don't mind being able to get into...

    Millions of Printers Open to Devastating Hack Attack

    Why would you have an printer open to the internet? Setup a VPN, or a some type of remote access then print from a machine that's behind the firewall. Yes it's a few more steps, but it's not that hard. Having a printer directly accessible from the internet seems like a recipe for disaster to...

    Who has called in sick just to play video games?

    That's what SICK days are for... I'm SICK of work. Of course I always have WAY more sick days then I can ever use, and usually have a week or two of vacation on the books, so taking a "Mental Health" day really doesn't bother me.

    Free Texts Pose Threat to Carriers

    With that obi, your GV number is what the other person sees, because that's what you are using. Setup the GV app on your phone and then that's all anybody would see.

    Microsoft Finally Kills The Zune

    You managed to hit the nail on the head. MS could have spent some money to get car head unit manufactures to support them, and it would have helped. They could have competed on price too, but decided not to. Of course Microsoft marketing can't find it's way out of a wet paper bag in general...
