    Solar generator

    Not knowing anything about electronics, I don't know how long this would take to charge or how long it would power an AC unit. It says it can power a fridge for 4 days. No noise or emissions, though. http://link.shop-herringtoncatalog.com/YesConnect/HtmlMessagePreview?a=RisSmeuCjWqDV4Gr2fJUXB

    New cell carrier recommendation?

    I'm thinking it's time for a new cell service. I'm seeing adverts for cheaper companies like Virgin, Cricket, etc. with unlimited data. I'm just not happy with the money I'm turning over to Verizon every month. When I was on the road, I had been with T-Mobile, but suffered horrible service...

    Battery question for Turtle

    This link is from a laser pointer forum, which doesn't interest me, but they're talking about stuff that's related. http://laserpointerforums.com/f67/alternate-source-18650-batteries-54345.html I ordered a Fenix TK35 flashlight. They're powered by CR123A batteries, but they can also be powered...

    Tapatalk update?

    Had anyone updated today? The reviews are pretty bad, something about it being too dark or something. Guess they want to induce free version users to update to one of their paid, themed versions. Without a way to fall back to a previous version, I don't want to update to the new one without more...

    Is there ANY phone that doesn't suck...?

    ...since my old, wonderful, missed Treo, that is? When I signed on with TMobile, I got an LG G2X. It has some hardware-OS conflict that makes it lock up. I have missed work because of it. T-mo wouldn't do anything about it until I called to cancel my contract, and even then they said there's no...

    Firing Google

    Ok, so let's say I object to Google's latest assaults on privacy and want to de-Google my life. Obviously, that means some basic things like disabling Google analytics, using Scroogle or something else for Web searches and such, abandoning gmail, etc. But firing Google leaves me with some...

    Tapatalk down still?

    Anybody still have a problem using tapatalk? I haven't been able to use it on my phone in months, and it just started acting up on my tablet a few days ago. It says LOADING and never proceeds past that. I know somebody recently mentioned they had the same problem with it.

    T-mobile sucks

    The subject line says it all. Do yourself a favor and do NOT sign up with these *******s. You will regret it. If you depends on your phone to get loads, it will cost you more than the monthly fees.

    T-mobile: YOU'RE FIRED

    I know there are some criteria for canceling a mobile plan without paying the escape penalty, and I have to imagine that business calls going straight to voicemail and getting the voicemail notification HOURS LATER has to be one of them. All while in a strong signal area, too. Anybody ever have...

    Just how much is amazon a mah? Our a milli-amp

    I think that's the abbreviation for milli-amp. The engineers behind modern smartphones compromised severely when it comes to battery size and capacity. I can't think of any that are a reasonable capacity. And as phone specs advance, it's going to get worse, absent a quantum leap in battery...

    Rooting a droid

    Ok, those of you who have rooted your droid, I have some questions. The phone store guy told me that rooting isn't a one-step process but a continuing process. If you don't keep up with it, you can brick your phone. I had just gotten it and wasn't up to speed with it as it is, so I wasn't...

    Windows phone or Droid X? Verizon or T-mo?

    This freakin' Blackberry is driving me crazy. Surfing on it is actual torture. I had a couple Treos, which I loved, and an iPhone, which I hated, and now this... So I've been to Verizon and T-mo, scoping out their plans. Sure, Verizon has the best coverage, but they apparently think their...

    iPad, Droid pad, or Droid phone?

    This time of year, weather plays a big role in choosing whether or not to take a load to a given place. Being with small carriers, we don't have a Qualcomm (Side note: why do so many people insist on pronouncing it "quail-com?"); I get my bid offers over the phone, and one of my companies is...
