Will do. Hopefully it will be here the end of this week. I ordered the flat one to keep the same design of the phone now. They also have another one which has a bevel type design I assume for ergonomics.

Any worries about signal loss? I know that the antennas are around the iP4, but I still wonder if more metal would affect signal strength......

Having some chocolate crush pocky right now. Delicious little buggers.
Yah....
Mmmm.. cinnamon toast crunch cereal.
Lucky! Love Cinnamon Toast Crunch....
The Mrs. and I would like to try some Pocky, is it available in the US? Which stores carry it? Which department is in?
Well, I know Asian markets will have them. I get it at the local H-Mart Korean grocer. I'm in MD. Otherwise, you might get lucky and find it at a regular supermarket or certainly online.
I see them in the asian section at the big grocery stores.
You can find them at Asian Groceries, I'm in Indiana, and there is a store called Asia Mart. However, I got them at Walmart. They had Strawberry and Chocolate, in the Asian Food section. Around a $1. They're delicious. :)

AFAIK, we don't have any ethnic markets around these parts, just mainstream food stores like Wal-mart, Meijer, Kroger and Sav-A-Lot. I'll have to look in the Asian section and see if any of them sell Pocky. Thanks.

I went into Best Buy to browse. Really, just to browse. I wasn't planning on buying anything........

I walked out with an Apple Wireless Keyboard and a Magic Trackpad. The only reason I bought them was because they were both half-price.:eek: How could I turn down that deal? They were Open Items, but neither of them have ever been used. They're both brand new and still in their wrappers. I was pretty surprised at the discount..... usually Open Items are discounted by $5-10.

Yay for me.

If that is the Cheetah mount or whatever, lay your TV down and be certain the vertical arms don't cover anything. I bought one, said OK with Samsung LCDs and it covers two things, HDMI and power inputs. I monkey-f'ed it and it's ok, but it's a 23" in LCD in my office so monkey is ok ... my 47" otoh would never get any jimmy rig mounting.


My newest ... switched from AT&T after being with them (or the companies they gobbled up) for a decade. I felt genuine anxiety over it but I did it. Comes with froyo 2.2 supposedly. I don't know how to check so right now I say it has it because that is what I was told, we'll see is homeboy at Verizon was lying.

^^^^I'll give it a shot. I feel like torturing myself tonight.

There has been many moments when i have seen a good trailer but the movie is less than par...so your debate is invalid.

:rolleyes:

A trailer is a commercial for a movie. The whole purpose of a movie trailer is to tease the audience into wanting to see that movie. Like when you see a commercial for hair gel and you have to run out and buy it right away.

It doesn't matter that you've experienced a good trailer-bad movie combo.... that doesn't negate the fact that a trailer is a commercial/taste of what to expect when you see the movie.

Refurb ipads? How much are those going for?

yea it amazes me that many people are paying close to full price on ebay for a used ipad when you can get a like new for less... ive have great luck with refurb products in the past so I dont see a downside...

interestingly enough the refurb ipad is shipping from china.. I don't recall if the refurb computer/ipods ship from there as well? though there was a refurb facility in the US....

From your home screen, hit menu (Physical button, bottom left). Settings/About Phone. Should say Andriod version 2.2.

I'm pretty sure all Verizon Droid X's now ship with 2.2. Congrats on the phone!

Any reason, in particular, you chose this over FIFA? Just curious.

Ever since I first started playing the Winning Eleven (former name of Pro Evolution Soccer, although in Japan & Asia, it is still called WE) series from Konami, I've always felt that they make a more realistic soccer game than EA Sports in their FIFA series. :)

Unfortunately, I think for the PES 2011, although there are some improvements to the previous iteration, I'm not too impressed by their new "passing the ball" game-play. It emphasizes a lot too much on user controlled accuracy in passing the ball that for 25% of the time, I miss my passes totally. :(

Been saving for months now and finally bought the Canon 5D MK II and Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens. Hurst my poket, but by far the best investment I ever made :D Any photographer out here? Canon users? :)
