It does seem a bit silly that a phone as advanced as the iPhone will not let you use any MP3 stored in it as a ringtone. Then again, that is one of the big reasons I recently purchased an AT&T 8525 instead of an iPhone. The 8525 has greater overall funcationality, but furthermore acts just...

The early reports of PS3 incompatibility with non 1080p sets were hugely overreported, and by now have been solved. I use my PS3 with a 4 year old Hitachi 57SWX20b HDTV (a high-def RPTV based set) and it works fine. Even though my set only does 1080i things look great. 1080i vs 1080p is...

Warranty requests take a while to process, and when it comes to water damage, some manufacturers will just say you spilled someone on it and it is your fault. I have lost a few keyboars due to spills, all in all, since mine are cheap, just buy a new one and get on with things.

Most experts have rules that the 360 and PS3 are pretty much equal when it comes to graphics, and if anything the PS3 has a slight edge. I still recommend the PS3 as a purchase for a good Blu-Ray player and while it has some decent games (not really a fan of Resistance Fall of Man, I am just...

I would agree, picking up a PS2 is almost a no-brainer, you can get one used very cheap, and out of any platform it has the most "must-have" games. The PS3 is a very nice system too, I really like mine, but I end up using it more as a Blu-Ray player more than a gaming system because I work...

The PS3 did a good job with DVDs before, I still need to see how it looks after this update. The feature I am really looking forward to though is being able to do an update without having to plug the controller in through the USB cable.

PPC wasn't a bad architecture when it came out, but alas IBM/Motorola couldn't keep up with the speed increases they promised at a reasonable cost. Yes, you do pay a premium for an Apple system over a comporable equiped Windows box, but that is the only way to legally get the MacOS at the...

Also not free. MS charges an arm and a leg for their office suite, and at least an arm for MS Word on its own. OpenOffice is the best bet, I use it on my windows machine, does everything I need and more.

AMD will never go bankrupt, Intel needs AMD just as Microsoft needs Apple. Both companies need a competitor to ward off anti-trust lawsuits. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Intel bailed out AMD by purchasing massive ammounts of stock if the company did go into serious financial trouble.

Other than struggling car companies, I have never known anyone to offer 0% for the life of the loan. When I bought my Dell 2001fp I got 0% and no payments for six months, but if I failed to pay it off in full before those six months were up I would have been hit with all of the interest...

While Apple has very high margins for an OEM computer builder, the margins on software sales are far far higher than they will ever be for hardware sales (take a CD or DVD that takes a couple cents to press and sell it for $100+ , even factoring in R&D costs software is much more lucrative than...

As 99% of Apple stores are in malls, and any mall in the US worth having an Apple store is going to have at least one Cingular kiosk in it (the mall in my hometown has an Apple store, three Cingular kiosks and a full out Cingular store) I doubt that would be an issue.

More memory would help, but considering you can get a system easily several times as fast for less than $500, you should probably look into a new machine.

So I got pulled over for an overdue registration today (which BTW was due to the DMV giving me the wrong sticker for my plate and I got let go), but why are there not smart chips in drivers license's? Think about it, a drivers license could have a chip that encode and via RFID keeps up with...

Because if I did, I would as how many are interested in the so called 'xMac' a mini or full tower mac with a C2D processor, and upgradeable video and sound.
