    It's Official - iPhone on Verizon Wireless

    I'm still waiting for something more industrial to come out, but for now I'm using the iFrogz Luxe case. It has a nice, soft touch and seems to fit well. Don't really have any complaints about it, although I'm not sure how much of an impact it would absorb. Also - I got the blue & black...

    iOS 4.3 soon to be released

    With all of this talk of the so-called "iPhone Nano" it would NOT surprise me if we don't see a 4G iPhone this year (double negative alert: would surprise me if we do...). Perhaps an iPhone 4+ this summer, a global phone (CDMA/GSM) with the NFC technology, along with the "make lines around...

    Do I plan to get the Verizon iPhone?

    OOOO.....KKKK.... stepping back for the fire fight; I got me shipment confirmation letter... my V iPhone is expected Monday (will likely be later). As as for "Why didn't I wait for a (potentially 4g) iPhone 5?" Two reasons come to mind: 1) If it is, in fact 4G, I won't have 4G coverage...

    Do I plan to get the Verizon iPhone?

    I was up early, and after taking 45 minutes to realize that I needed to log in as my wife, my verizon iPhone is on order. 45 minutes into the process this morning got me a unit number around 19,000. Wonder how long it'll take for the "limited" quantity of the pre-orders to dry up.... ...if...

    Do I plan to get the Verizon iPhone?

    Looks like I'll be up early on Thursday to lock in one of these VzW iPhones... I qualify and have the new every two credit that's ready to be spent... UNLESS tomorrow's Google event convinces me otherwise... (Moto Droid X/2 Gingerbread in a couple days + more tempting goodies might be enough...

    Where are my Satellite Guy's gamers at?

    Picked up BF:BC2 and COD:MW2 when Steam had 'em sale around Christmas and depending on the day, they both have me hooked.

    It's Official - iPhone on Verizon Wireless

    I must have misunderstood how it works, I thought on the GSM version all of the data (for facetime) was sent over wifi relying on your ISP's bandwidth rather than the cell phone's bandwidth. Does facetime rely on the AT&T's voice service to handle the voice and wifi for the video? Otherwise, I...

    It's Official - iPhone on Verizon Wireless

    My couple of questions about this so far: 1) as Scott mentioned, I wonder if Facetime will work via Verizon's 3G network (rather than just wifi) 2) CDMA is limited with no voice and web at the same time; but if you have the need for such, could you skype and web at the same time?

    Any Satellite Guys using STEAM for PC Gaming?

    My lack of friends on steam coupled with my today's "Treasure Hunt" objective (friend 10 people)... got me wondering if any of y'all use it for making contacts on multiplayer games? Or even moreso, would anyone see the benefit of a Satellite Guys group on Steam? Let me know, I've been...

    Need to re-install Windows 7.

    My hard drive is getting a little over run and I fear it's time to do some spring cleaning... When I first build my computer, I partition my hard drive into 3 equal partitions and installed Vista on the C: partition. Then Windows 7 came out and I installed that (from the "free upgrade" disc)...

    New Dish RSN Dispute- CSNCA

    The walls are starting to crumble on that argument: Spectrum's walls to start tumbling | Philadelphia Inquirer | 11/23/2010. If I remember correctly; the spectrum housed the microwave array that has been in use since the time of PRISM. That coupled with the access ruling from the FCC earlier...

    Where are my Satellite Guy's gamers at?

    Finally installed the copy of CoD:World at War that came with my Graphics Card; made it through the campaign and have been sitting, staring at the server list, playing the mental game of should I or shouldn't I. Still haven't gone for it yet. Not sure how to pick a server worth playing...

    SatelliteGuys First Look Review - DISH Sling Adapter

    If you can watch it in decent quality HD in your house via computer.... why not hook a media center PC up to a second HD TV? Would that solve the problem?

    Where are my Satellite Guy's gamers at?

    can't speak to the bug level on the 360. Running the PC version of the game.... after the second patch (which removed using steam's cloud storage for the autosave), all has seemed to be good. I might have a (on average) a crash ever other day, otherwise all is good. (course I did hit a few...

    Where are my Satellite Guy's gamers at?

    "Where are my Sat Guys gamers at?" well, around 11:30pm I'll be waiting at Gamestop for my Fallout New Vegas Collector's Ed. Then taking a few vacation days (aka mental sanity days) from work; during which time my waste line shall expand another inch or two, the butt groves on the sofa will...
