Retro gaming

I prefer using my retro hardware for games (even if res is terrible on larger screen), although the convenience of EMU/ROM's is nice sometime. I remember a decade ago bringing my NES over to my friend's parant's house while he was house sitting and rocking some LOZ and SMB on their 50+...

Deciding between a LED monitor and a LED TV

In current times, the overall difference between monitors vs TV's is a built-in tuner. Yes, there are other differences. I have my main desktop hooked up to my 46"1080p TV via hdmi. And it is just fine. With some TV's, and monitors as well. You may need to adjust the "overscan" to make the...

15% off Prepaid phone plans StraightTalk Tmobile, also XBox Live

Do you have/use google voice? Easiest way I have done to use it for calls (using data/wifi) is spare phone app. Worth the 2/3$ it cost. I forget. Good deal on the ST plan tho. Unfortunately they throttle/terminate service if your data gets out of hand. If I were not on T-mo postpaid I would be...

Best place to upgrade Tmobile contract?

As others have stated, save yourself some money on the value plan. You can keep your current phones. And upgrade what you want to when you can.

Random person from the same number keeps calling and texting me

If there is an actual person talking, best thing to do is tell them this exactly.. put me on your DO NOT CALL list. You can add please with that if you want. I believe donotcall.gov ? or a site similar helps from TM's from calling you.

Keurig Quality seems low

Got one this season, also got a reuseable filter to use my own. Definitely cheaper. Costco also has pretty good deals on them if whoever likes a specific one. I drink coffee for the caffeine, decent flavor helps, but always drink it black (unless I have some irish whiskey, baileys, kaluha,etc)

new iphone

Not sure where you live, but you have a min of 14days to return/exchange device without any penalties. At this point in time I prefer Android OS for mobile phone. But even WP7, WM6.5 has less limitations than the iSheep's OS and having to use iTunes.

Samsung is rivalling Apple as the dominant smartphone maker

I think it is mostly due to Android OS making progress that is helping Samsung. Of all the Android phones I would say that they are the ones catching up the most to the iSheep. I believe that some people are realizing that the iSheep and iOSx are lacking in some of their abilities.

Worked at a GM dealer, you do not want a new Camaro. Or a Traverse. You do not want a minivan either. Whats wrong with a SUV/crossover?

Recommend a car under $35K

These things have the largest blind spots/ least visibility of pretty much any vehicle. PITA to work on. Oil pan replacement is approx 8.1 hours, due to the frame and having to pull the motor out just to replace the pan.

Van? No. RV maybe. Then at least you have amenities and toilet/possibly shower. Maybe find someone who will let you plug in on their property for a small fee?

15-17k budget - Not sure which car is right for me

VW TDI, take your pick on which. I prefer Golf over Jetta. Even the 2.5 I5 is decent. But the TDI will pay for itself with the mileage.

If you want something with great MPG, some low-end TQ.. How about a Golf TDI? JSW, even a Passat TDI? Or I guess a GTI/R32 Low-end TQ is more important from a stop, not HP

OEM Foglights - worth $250 on a new car?

If you or anyone you trust is mechanically inclined at all with wiring. I would buy a set that fit the holes, and wire them up. With most current vehicles, there is some stock wiring/switches available. If you want the stock swtich, that is the only thing I would consider buying from the dealer.
