    First Smartphone, or phone that really impressed you!

    The Nokia communicator 9100 was the first smartphone I was impressed with. Back in 2000 I was living in Germany when I bought it for1000 marks, about $600. It was the only phone I've had that could send and receive faxes.

    WildBlue ViaSat1 the real scoop

    Just want to ask something. While I can understand its to be expected that satellite broadband should cost a premium over DSL, cable, etc., these caps seem really restrictive. Is satellite technology really so incapable of meeting the needs of it's relatively limited customer base, in regards to...

    dsl signal strength?

    I had an issue with noise on my DSL line at my office once, it really can slow things down and interfere with VOIP services. My upload speed would constantly drop to about 300-600kbps. If I restarted the modem it would work fine for a few hours and then just slow down again. My phone company...

    Which generation iPhone is it? Does your router support wireless-n? Maybe the iPhone is connected using wireless-g and your computer is on n?

    What do you use for GPS in the car and are you happy with it?

    I use the free Google navigation app that came with my android phone, its the best nav app I have ever used on a cell phone. I really like how I can I can just say my destination without having to type everything in. I used to use Navigon on my iPhone before I upgraded, it was decent but pretty...

    Banks now require good credit to open checking account

    Chase offers checking accounts to people with bad credit, it's $10/mo, though. But hey, better than nothing.

    It's official. Sprint is moving to LTE

    I doubt it. They didn't compensate any of their nextel subscribers when they shut down WiDEN. Maybe they've learned their lesson by now, though?

    Anyone Playing with Windows 8 Beta?

    Makes sense since windows 8 looks like it will be garbage. I've been a huge fan on Microsoft products in the past, but I think rebuilding their flagship product to mimic their mediocre mobile OS is a terrible idea. iPad copies are not the future, just ask HP, RIM, and Motorola.

    Is the $79 Kindle e-reader a revolutionary moment for the publishing world?

    I have to agree with him as well, the iPod was not nearly as revolutionary as the Walkman. Nor is a kindle that's just $35 cheaper than the previos low-end model. It's nice that it's cheaper, but what "revolution" is this exactly starting? It's just the same old monochrome e-ink display enclosed...

    How much Sky Angel do you watch per day?

    I'd say I have it on a couple hours a day. I mostly watch Angel 2, INSP, RFD-TV, fox news, World harvest, and GMC. I know there are some who will disagree with me, but I think they should have 3ABN on sky angel, I would watch a lot more if they did.

    No Posts for a long time?

    Thanks for the tip, jholland, I used zap2it to find dr. Jack van Impe's show today (used to watch him on TBN until he recently left). I love how it has all the airings listed for each show, was able to find a channel that had it in the 48 hour archive.

    Big Brother finale didn't record tonight

    I just went through the guide on my Tivo (I use it for OTA) and noticed that the finale was also not set to record on it, even though I have a season pass for BB. I'm on the west coast so it hasn't started yet here, that's a plus. Must be an issue with tribune media.
