    Any chance the phab 2 pro will be in the Google store?

    As above. Being the first Tango, etc, I'd like to see it. Their financing is quite reasonable, and semi decent service. Yes, I'd like to have a better SoC, but that screen size and resolution are prime for my oversized body. And I will actually use the Tango functions.

    Help me set up my extender

    I got a Cisco router (works just fine) and an Edimax range extender/AP. My question: can I setup the extender to be seamless so that there is only the Cisco showing, but the benefits of the extender? I've tried setting it up both as an AP and extender, and both require login to the edimax.

    Adding "N" to my network

    I currently run everything in my house off a D-Link GL-4300 plus a couple of their green switches. If I were to replace one of these switches with an additional router (with Gigabit of course, and wireless N- preferably dual mode), could I successfully add the N capabilities, along with...

    Looking at the Lenovo x130e. Couple ???'s

    These are available with the AMD Fusion e300, which gives HD6310 graphics. The other configuration is Core i3 2367M with Intel HD3000 Graphics. Which is better overall? Usage will be for school (notes, tests, etc), and occasional flash games on Facebook in the 10 minutes of free time I'll...

    Probably going T-Mo. What phones?

    I'll be doing a pre-paid dead (tired of high dollar bullshit contracts). What do I need to look for in a phone to work correctly on T-Mobile? GSM, etc?

    What machine(s)?

    Wife and I need laptops as we're starting nursing school together soon. I want quick and durable, and preferably under $500 if possible. One request for me, personally, is I love the UltraNav (I think it's called, the little rubber joystick I've seen on some models). So, how much power should...

    Rebuild tombstones on WHS?

    My server had been busted for a few months. I took the largest drive from it and used it from my BlacX dock to stream my movies. I also added some new stuff. Now that my WHS is up and going again, it doesn't show those new files that I know are there. How do I initiate a rebuild so...

    Any new cases like the old Sonata?

    I loved my original Antec Sonata. I don't worry about weight. Is there an updated take on this design? The newer Sonatas are hideous.

    I need more SATA ports, cheap

    One of those fine midwestern storms took out my WHS' motherboard last week. I switched to a little ATOM board which works fine, but only has 2 SATA ports. I need a PCI card with SATA ports, but they don't review well. What do I look for for reliability and compatibility? Side note: I can...

    Help! SPDIF on Realtek 8888

    restore backup image from WHS (new machine)

    Can I use the image backup of a failed machine and "restore" it to a new machine? It'll use my old license and such anyway, but I was wondering if it would jack up activation.

    GMA 3100 vs 7800gt

    I'm building a rig for mostly Facebook games and surfing. The board has the 3100 on it. Will there be any advantage to putting the 7800 in? I already have it, so money isn't in question. Will either one do flash hardware acceleration?

    Smallest device to receive network streaming video

    I'm hanging a TV on the wall in the kids' room (HD, LCD or plasma), and need something to stream to it. I already use a hardwired PS3 in my living room flawlessly with PS3 Media Server, so I hope I can find a tiny little device to do just that. Anyone with some ideas? I need this to be able...

    Task manager shows high usage

    Task manager is showing high CPU usage on the main screen (50%+) at almost all times, but no single process is showing the usage. I'm running Process Explorer, and it is showing 98-99% on system Idle Process (what I expect). Is there a bug in Task Manager, or is something else going on?

    What "device" for streaming

    I need something other than my PS3. Don't get me wrong, it works well, but lack of MKV support and lots of audio quirks make it annoyingly frustrating at times. I want basically a stupid decoder that will handle pretty much any and every file a throw at it without complaint. I am researching...

    Any replacement for MKV2VOB?

    I was using MakeMKV to rip my discs, then MKV2VOB to peel them back down for easy streaming (without transcoding) to my PS3. This does not work anymore. Is there a good replacement for mkv2vob? I loved it's simplicity and queue. Just add and wait. It seems everything else I've found wants...

    Win 7 no splash screen on boot

    Can I do this? Dual NIC question

    Can I use Dual NIC's to separate my internet connection from my WHS connection? My WHS has dual, and I could easily add a second to my main rig. Would this work at all, or is it all going to choke within my router anyway? What if I were to run a direct connection to the WHS, bypassing the router?

    Wireless troubles with one machine

    (YMMV) 2x2GB SD cards for $5, K-mart B&M

    Seemed decent enough. They're PNY 2GB 60x SD cards. I bought 4 packs. I know they work fine for my Wii, and as a ReadyBoost in my netbook. Shame I haven't found anything like this on the 16GB or bigger. Edit: these are a clearance item, so act quick.
