    So I'm getting ready to be overseas for about 10 months in many different countries; Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand... I have a Droid DNA right now, and am getting ready to buy the Galaxy S4 most likely, as I imagine I'll get a lot of use out of such a nice camera and the...

    Will Casio or another manu. release another ruggedized android phone?

    I loved the idea and design of the Casio Commando, but the specs just aren't there. Does anyone know if there are any other plans to release a ruggedized android phone with a dual core processor, etc.? It would be awesome if Motorola would release one, but I assume it will probably be Casio again.

    Buying an AR-15 - question

    I found a SIG-SAUER M500 AR-15 for 899.99 and I really like the looks of it, not to mention the price. Does anyone know anything about these, I believe it's SIG's first AR variant, but their awesome reputation with other firearms is leading me to want to give it a try

    New defense bill

    Has anyone else heard about the ridiculous new National Defense Act that directly violates our 4th amendment rights? This new legislation will allow the United States government to detain and imprison citizens indefinitely without charging them with any crime. Funny how this was introduced while...

    Thinking about going Plasma for my next TV

    I've always liked LCDs because of the reduced glare, but man it seems like the picture quality of Plasma is unmatched in low light. I don't really care about energy efficiency or weight/size, and the more I think about it, I really only watch TV at nighttime. Should I go plasma? I'm looking...

    BEST place to buy music equipment/instruments, hands down.

    www.sweetwater.com I have ordered from these guys for the past 8 months or so, and the customer service and pricing has been above and beyond. WAY above and beyond. First of all, when you order through them, you are assigned a rep that you deal with. Which means every time I have a problem...

    Unexplained mass animal deaths sweeping the world in 2011. Has anyone heard about this?

    A friend showed me this last night and it blew my mind. Mainly because whatever is killing all of these animals seems to be species-specific. What are your thoughts? Mass Animal Deaths Since The Start of 2011 - YouTube

    Should Native Americans receive reparation paychecks?

    Personally, I think they should at least receive something after the way we did them. The reason I ask this is because of an ongoing debate I've had with my mother. Her reasoning is that because of how long it's been, the people receiving the reparations weren't directly affected by what the...

    Amazon.com is by far the best company I've ever dealt with

    Let me start by saying I'm usually a pretty tough critic on big companies like this. I hate corporations to begin with, so I have a hard time giving the benefit of the doubt. That being said, I've been using amazon to order just about anything you can think of over the past year and a half...
