  • Samsung 32" Smart TV or Vizio? Which One is better?

    I cannot decide which TV to buy. I am stuck between the

    1. Samsung UN32F5500 32-Inch 1080p 60Hz Slim Smart LED HDTV

    2. VIZIO M321i-A2 32-Inch 1080p 120Hz Smart LED HDTV

    Which one do you guys recommend? I will be using this TV for gaming and watching TV, and occasionally hooking up my computer via HDMI cable. Price is not an issue. I want the one that has the best picture quality and will handle gaming with XBOX and surfing on the computer (not a lot of input lag). Also, does it make a difference that Vizio is 120Hz while Samsung is only 60 Hz for my needs?

    Any help would be appreciated

  • Is "Stop on Red" the same thing as "No Turn on Red"?

    I got pulled on for disregarding a "no turn on red" sign at an intersection

    Heres my problem:

    I approached the intersection and saw a "Stop on Red" sign. There was no No Turn on Red sign, only a Stop on Red a couple feet before the intersection.

    So I thought this meant you treat it as a stop sign. So I stopped at the intersection, when I saw there was no traffic and i was safe to turn, i turned right.

    The officer gave me a citation but THERE WAS NO TURN ON RED sign.. just a stop on red.. I didnt roll through the intersection, i stopped and proceeded when clear

    And since it is the end of the month, I figured he was trying to just get money

    Do I have a legitimate case? There was no NO TURN ON RED sign... but a STOP ON RED. Do they mean the same thing, so do I have a legitimate case in court? (and he told me about the wrong sign that was posted on the street)

  • Which TV to buy for college? What do you recommend?

    I am going to college and will be buying a TV soon. Heres my requirements and hopefully based off that you can recommend good TVs for me to buy

    1. Size- 32 inches

    2. Excellent display and crisp image

    3. TV that can be used as an external monitor for my Macbook and still have clear display

    4. Awesome TV for gaming (Xbox 360)

    I'm not strict on the budget because i will be willing to spend a little more for a better resolution TV (but nothing outrageously expensive)

    What models/brands should i consider buying?

  • When do you think Apple will release the new MacBook Pros?

    Ive noticed that it's been over a year since Apple released the last line of Macbook Pros with the retina versions. In June, the new MacBook Airs were released.

    But why werent the Macbook Pros introduced at the June conference, and why haven't they released them yet?

    It's frustrating as a college student because I need a laptop by the end of August for school. I just dont understand Apple's motives to keep holding off the release. They are losing sales on college kids because the longer they wait to release the MBP, the greater chance that student will move on to another laptop. School is approaching and I need a laptop soon, and I hope Apple stops with their suspense game and just releases it.

    I understand Apple's secretive, but when do you think they will release the new MacBook pros? Before the end of the summer?

  • Macbook Pro or Macbook Pro with Retina?

    I am a college student and am looking for a laptop... The Macbook air wouldnt be powerful enough and I dont see a good windows competitor that comes close to the Macs in the laptop world...

    With that being said, I have narrowed down to the Macbook Pro 2012 or Macbook Pro Retina. I understand that the Retina does not have a CD Drive or an Ethernet Port, but a better screen

    What I want to know if:

    1) Which one would you buy? and why

    2) If I upgraded the Macbook Pro to the 2.9HZ model, would it be faster or slower than the new Retina base model

  • Which Dual Sport bike should I Buy?

    I'm a 6'1, 160lbs, intermediate driver, have a TTR 125 but want a dual sport bike and something thats way faster. I think 250cc is enough for me and wouldnt go any higher because im doing mostly backroads and offroading

    I've been doing research over the past few days and looked at several bikes that could be options

    1) kawasaki KLX250

    2) yamaha XT250

    3) honda CRF250R

    My budget is around 3500, so I would be buying used to get within that price. please do not recommend the WR250R. its probably best bike but money is a big part of this and its too expensive

    1) What bike do you guys suggest for me, and do you have another suggestion?

    2) Can you provide me with the pros and cons of all the models

  • Rhinoplasty post-surgery tips?

    I am a 20 year old male and I am about to have a rhinoplasty in a couple days.

    1)I know this is general, but do you have any tips to make the recovery as smooth and quick as possible?

    2) I like to work out a lot and stay in good shape. Since I can't work out for 3+ weeks, what do you recommend I do to avoid putting on fat and still have my muscle?

    3) I will be going back to college a week after surgery. What do you recommend I do so that people will not notice that I had work done on my nose? What will my nose look like after a week? Can you tell a difference in the nose?

    4) Can someone please describe the timeline of a rhinoplasty. I know all cases are different, but a general timeline would be appreciate. For example, information about how much swelling there will be after 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 6 months, etc

    Any other tips/suggestions to make this a smooth surgery would be greatly appreciated. thanks

    I am 6'1, 155 lbs. I am in pretty good shape, but I'm not that fast. I have long legs and arms.I have a decent arm. What event do you think I should do?

    I am not fast enough to do sprints like 100,200 and I dont want to do long distances

    triple jump and hurdles seem best suited for me... but i cant jump high. i can jump far though since i have long legs and arms.
