    invisibleSHIELD for Blackberry - Do they Actually Work?

    I've had them for iPods, DS, iPhones, you name it. I love them, although the iPhone ones start to peel off after awhile if you pull them in/our of your pocket/bag too much. And if you can get someone to apply it for you (well), go for it; that's probably the most annoying part.

    What can I expect credit card wise...

    As for your other worries, I doubt they matter with a 766 FICO score. Just apply to any card you want; you will most likely get it. And the harm in an unlikely rejection is negligible.

    What can I expect credit card wise...

    My friend at Capital One recommends the Orbitz Signature Card if you travel a decent amount: http://www.capitalone.com/creditcards/products/miles/?linkid=WWW_0508_CARD_tg01_CCMAIN_H3_01_T_CCPM My card of choice is the Costco Amex (3% gas and eating out, 2% travel, 1% everything else). It has...

    Is it just me or has Amazon free shipping gotten really slow lately?

    It has definitely slowed down for me. It's pretty clear they hold back items. Just do a test: on the final checkout page, if you choose standard, it has one ship day, but if you choose free, it's later.

    Best HDTV LCD Brand for gaming out of the following?

    Also remember that Sony and Samsung jointly make the panels, so you're probably better off paying less for the Samsung.

    Recommend a wireless router

    I bought the DIR-655 at Costco about 6 months ago for $120, and it works fine. The purchase certainly doesn't qualify as "cheap ass," but I figure it's worth Costco's unlimited return policy since routers die all the time. I got tired of buying cheap Netgears, Belkins (although that still works).

    Free 100 Gallons of Heating Oil thanks to Hugo Chavez!

    I think ~$29K is per capita, as in per person. The average "household" makes more.

    Update 1/16 - So Gamestop "attempted" to deny me an exchange on a defective product.

    The disclaimer/sticker thing is nonsense and not special to Rock Band. Every big ticket item I have purchased has it so that you don't return the product to the retailer for CASH so the sale stands. Obviously the manufacturer prefers exchanges. Hell, even my electric toothbrush had the same note.

    My new Wii makes clicking sound!! WTH??

    My Wii has had some drive problems. I had to send it in once to replace the drive. Fortunately it came back pretty quickly. I think the slot loader isn't all that robust. After the fix, the system seemed fine for a couple of months, but it spontaneously turned off last night during a game...

    question about mac and parralles

    I have a MBP and Parallels, and I don't really play games on PC to know how it would perform, but wouldn't you be better off booting in Windows? Parallels is great but a tad laggy, at least for me.

    Should I invest the 50million hours required to read Wheel of Time?

    I think the WoT books are only worth reading if you have a ton of time to go straight through the series. I've been reading the series since the mid 90s and don't remember much so I feel like I have to re-learn what's going on every time. I feel the same way about Terry Goodkind, although his...

    want to buy a ds but have questions!

    I bought invisibleShield from www.shieldzone.com. Not that cheap and a bit of a pain to install, but it does a fantastic job of protecting the DS.

    relatively cheap hdmi switcher

    I've heard good things about this one. I bought one myself, but haven't used it since I don't have a PS3 (yet). http://www.amazon.com/Terk-HDMI-31-Smart-HDMI-Switch/dp/B000LH2FH8/sr=8-11/qid=1172759686/ref=sr_1_11/103-0738736-1155027?ie=UTF8&s=electronics

    A few questions about the current and future of the PS3

    If you have an Amex card, it automatically doubles the warranty from 1 yr to 2 yrs with no extra cost. Granted, it's not as simple as going to the store, but hey, it's free!

    employee discount on ps3? fye,bb,cc. etc

    If you're thinking about getting one, you're better off trying the 12% off Best Buy coupon for Reward Zone members (which is free). It doesn't really say whether or not you can use it for the PS3, but a number of people (including a friend of mine) were able to use it.
