Best free weight exercises? (Feedback on my routine?)

There's really no reason you can't do squats now so long as you have a power rack. The rack is your spotter. You just start with the bar alone and work from there. I highly recommend stronglifts.com. Start with their 5x5 program. 3 days a week 3 different lifts per day. Takes less than 30...

Consumer Alert - Buy Hard Drives Now. Prices To Rise.

I got this extrenal WD 1.5gb yesterday for $59.99. It rang up for $79.99 but the price on the sticker was $59.99. They gave it to me at that price when I showed them the "advertised price" of $59.99. Even in the pre-price hike days that was a good price...

Quality elliptical machine around $400?

I have not found anything worthwhile in the $400 range. $800+ you can find quite a bit. The livestrong models start at $800 and I quite like them. We have life fitness gym quality ellipticals at work and the livestrong models compare well to them. I don't think anything under $1500 is junk...

Canon T2i: Question on Night Shots w/o flash + carrying bag.

No Canon owner should be without the $100 50mm 1.8 prime. It's cheap, it's fast, and has decent build quality. If you can affored it the 1.4 suggested above is a better choice but also about 4 times the price. Either will significantly help with your indoor bar shots. Just make sure to shoot...

Buying a dSLR for a wide range of photography (K-7, D90, 7D, other?)

Those were the two I was looking at. The D90 is $1-200 more (cheapest I've seen them is $1050 for the D90 and $810 for the T2i). I ended up with the T2i in part due to the video capabilities of the T2i and the better high ISO performance. If the price was exactly the same for both I may have...

Dell Mini 10 touchpad

My understanding is that the mini 10 and mini 10v have different touchpads with the Mini 10's being decent. The touchpad on my mini 10v has taken some adjustment and tweaking. Overall, I do not like it. It is likely I will sell it and get a different netbook (or possibly an older 12" laptop...

Netbook vs Archos

I'm not sure I'd need an external hard drive but I do have a 250gb 2.5" external drive that is pretty much empty right now. Most netbooks have a 160gb or better hard drive and I could upgrade the drive if necessary. I think I'd rather upgrade the drive than carry an external one around...

Netbook vs Archos

We need to replace the dvd player we use for our car. I'm thinking about replacing it with a netbook or archos. I like the idea of a netbook since it can do more than an archos, costs about the same (often less than an archos 7), and has a larger screen. To that end does anyone know of any...

A friend is selling me an unlocked iPhone

Visual Voicemail probably won't work. As others have said you may have to wait a few days for upgrading the firmware after a new release. Usually that's not a big deal. You will have to unlock/jailbreak the phone each time you update the firmware. Usually this is a simple process but not...

Camera Purchase help for dummy (me)

I'll echo what Flipped Gazelle said. Check dpreview, imaging-resource, and dcresource.com. Generally Fuji's cameras with the super ccd are regarded as not just the best low light cameras but often the best by quite a bit. Their F30/F31 and S6000 are regarded as the best P&S cameras for low...

Best iPhone Cases?

I have a cozip (www.cozip.com) and really like it. It may not be the most protective case out there but it does protect the corners of the phone. It is made from a nice rubberized material that is easy to grip. It doesn't add a lot of bulk or weight. It will fit into a sports armband with the...

Olympus 10MP E-Volt 410 DSLR w/Two lens kit $399.99 shipped

Yes the 40D has better low light capabilities. So does the Nikon D90 and the Olympus E-3. They all cost at least twice as much, too. I disagree with the comments about lenses. If you look at the same quality lenses the prices are comparable. You CAN buy much cheaper lenses for Canon but...

What software (besides Sage tv) are you running? Did you think about the Asus EEE box or a EEE PC (lenovos s10 looks pretty good). I've been looking at building a kitchen pc for a while. I'd love the HP Touchsmart but $1500 is pretty pricey (even $1250 is pretty steep).

Soul Calibur 1 (Dreamcast) is coming to XBLA. Awesome

KI was a wonderful game. You COULD do big 30 hit combos but they did less and less damage as you increased the number of hits and it gave your opponent more and more chances to break them. It was quite rare for people to get big combos off at the arcade I played at. Anything more than 4-8...

The HP is $440 at Amazon. It's more at Best Buy, Newegg, etcetera. I'd never pay $570 for it. I have to admit that I'm paying extra for the glossy coating, better quality stand, usb, and roatation. The touch sensitive controls on the Gateway are worth more because of their uniqueness and the...
