RockRaines Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) This is going to sound pretty nerdy, but I scored a cheap under $200 Mac Mini and I am going to hook it up to a TV in my house and use the apple wireless mouse and keyboard I already have essentially making it a huge IMAC synced across to my other one.

HuskyCaucasian Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 6, 2014 -> 12:13 PM) I've been happy with U-Verse internet. 24/mbs speed for $42/month after fees. I've been on a sweet retention deal for a year and actually just re-upped for another year at this price yesterday. And it's a legit 24, even at night. Yea, I am calling them sometime this week to "bluff" and say I'm switching to comcast. Hoping to get U300 + 18mb for less than I pay now for U200 + 3mb.

Jake Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I'd like them to do that, then once its approved in a few months immediately move to reclassify. This way, as it is being disputed in court, there are SOME rules to fall back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Anyone here an Apple Macbook user? About to buy one in the near future and mainly interested in how much money to push into the processor. Don't run games or play many movies/videos/stuff like that, just lots of internet windows and typically Office applications open at the same time, along with occasionally science-related programs that process data in the background. Options I see are 2.4 GHz, 2.9 GHz, and 2.9 GHz with a turbo boost with a gradually increasing price on each. Without advice I'd probably just plop self down in the middle but anyone have any tips or good links discussing the topic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you aren't going to be running much that really pushes the processor, I wouldn't worry about sinking a bunch of money into one. At least, that depends on these science related programs you plan on running, as those can actually be very CPU intensive, unless programmed to take advantage of the GPU to assist. Games mostly rely on graphics processors more than CPU's these days. ...I wouldn't worry too much about the raw processing power, memory means more.

Balta1701 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 One more. Have an iphone4 that was on ATT. About to become unlocked when employer doesn't want it back. I'd love to be able to use it for a couple months and then buy a 6 this fall. Need for both minutes and overall data is low. Is there a way to convert this to a monthly minimal plan and what would I have to do for that? I know Verizon can't be swapped into this hardware but can tmobile?

I believe they have contract less plans now, but with all the changes they've made over the past few months I really have no idea on cost. You can probably check on their website they may have some info on such plans. Keep in mind that phone is worth about 175$ in trade in value, too.

Yeah, the goal is to make this one last a few extra months then do a legit 2 year contract family plan in Oct/Nov. just need like 4 months to get there.

Still not a bad trade in, anything is better than having an old device laying around nobody will use. I'd check out t-mobile for what you want to do, it can get you through a few months adequately for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev211 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) For all you apple gurus out there. Yesterday the lock button on my iPhone 5 stopped working. Not a problem as I have apple care and was going to take it in to get repaired or replaced. Later on I happened to drop my phone and shattered the screen. So it was a rough day for my phone. My question is can I get the phone replaced for free due to the button or since the screen is now shattered am I going to be required to pay the 50 dollars to get the replacement unit?
