I shudder to think of TR having a printed mag and the letters section would be all caps letters from SSK.



Wouldn't it be more shudder-worthy if it's from SSK but NOT in all caps?

Took the custom rom plunge for my S3...

and it's a long journey. LOL :lol: It was at 4.0.4 from 2012 until this September. It was then at 4.3 until a couple of days ago, when it got rooted (finally - it was briefly a rooted Jellybean device for a day) and I got a custom ROM for it based on 4.4.4 and CM11. :P http://i.imgur.com/Z5edhcJ.png...

Re: Laptop only boots when hot. yep.

So it doesn't involve the camera scanning the person in front of the laptop first, and making a comparison based on an arbitrary "hotness" standard?

I already have a Thermaltake Shock which is geared more towards gaming anyway, so I got this Audio Technica ATH-WS55. It's not exactly replacing my Aerial7 Matador, but it's better in more ways than one, albeit of course there's a price increase.

No, actually, it's quite different as far as I can tell. For a sporting event or the concert, you're going specifically to see whatever it is on display. To go to a Black Friday sale or to go stand in line for any product launch (not just the iPhone, but console launches for example) are to go buy ...

But if you showed people a GS3 and said 'This is the new GS4' people would do the exact same thing. No, people wouldn't do the exact same thing because it's not as "cool" as an Apple product. Plus, how many people did they have to ask to get the reactions they did? Hundreds? Thousands? Mo...

Re: Why do most women not care about HD

The channels that would truly be even better "experience"-wise would be sports games. Makes you see a punch, a touchdown, a homerun, a buzzer-beater 3pointer, a long-range goal, a superb rally, a hole-in-one, etc. even better.
