I'm keeping my unlimited plan and paying full price for a new phone every year. It sounds crazy, but I live in the country and LTE is available. The fastest Internet package is 6Mbps and my LTE pulls 8-15Mbps. I signed up for a fantastic plan with my wife a couple of years ago, 1400 min...

Apparently this MBA was originally purchased on Nov. 23rd (Black Friday) and was probably returned after Christmas since it was a base model. No telling how long it sat in the open-case bin but the BB employee told me that they marked it as missing cables and with a scratch to get the price...

Regardless it's a great deal to get a MBA for 37.5% off.

Coming from a VZW Galaxy Nexus I find that the Note 2 is refreshing. The battery life is excellent, reception is amazing, and the phone runs much cooler than my old Nexus. The phone is large, but that's the only negative I have and it's not much of a negative. It's a huge positive when...

I did and got an additional $75 back in my pocket! What an incredible deal!

I just found the form, wonder if I can talk them into a price match since it was so close to the sale?

On occasion lol

That's what I told my wife, 30% off an Apple product is a sweet deal. If storage is an issue I can pick up an OWC SSD, but like you said for my use-case this shouldn't be an issue. If I had replaced my MBP I would have waited for the refresh and opted for 8GB (16 if possible/cost...

I recently sold my entire Canon lot because it was collecting dust. I've been using the following: - Fujifilm X-Pro 1 - 18mm f2.0 - 35mm f1.4 Last week I pre-ordered the X100s and can't wait to get it. (previous Canon gear - 7D, 70-200 2.8 II IS, 24-105L, 40mm f2.8, and Sigma 30mm...

I have debated over whether I should get an 11" MBA for portability and power. I don't need to much power, just for some document creation, light photo editing, & web browsing. The price tag is steep so I considered a refurbished unit. I still wasn't happy with the price, but yesterday I...

Parallels and VMWare Fusion student editions are cheap enough too. I just haven't had great luck with Virtual Box. I used Fusion when I first got my Mac, two months before Lion, and VMWare refused to allow me to upgrade. I told them to piss off and got Parallels instead. I'm sure that...

60GB 1st gen iPod Video. It was cool in it's day and the hard drive still lives on in an old Acer Aspire One but the screen was too small and had terrible viewing angles. I think it was best used to share photos rather than video.

Took my Intel 120GB SSD out of my desktop and put it in the second drive bay. Why spend another $200? My desktop is designated to storage and scanning these days.

It is nice to just have something that works, but there is a part of me that wants to tinker. I'm considering a second 240GB SSD to replace the 750GB in my optical disc spot. That would give me two 240GB drives.

I've noticed that it can get warm, not surprised given the 3.5" hard drive stuffed in there. I have the TC out in the open so air flow is good around it. It doesn't get too hot, but warm enough that I notice.
