This is what they advertise on Craig's list! You can get paid a whopping 35 dollars a month.

P.S. Who r u and y ur mustache so sexy?

Is Guitar Hero for the Wii any different than it is for the Xbox360?

I noticed the version of Guitar Hero for Wii wasn't nearly as advertised as it was for the 360. I didn't even know there was a version for the Wii until I was on Amazon and noted the 160 dollar price tag.

Is this because people with Wiis are more likely to spend that gaming time toward learning the *actual* guitar, or because more people have the Xbox360? Is Guitar Hero for the Wii any good? Can I play Elibits with the guitar controller? So many questions.

Has having a Wii improved your social life?

I think it's helped me impress new house guests. When I'm out of Hypnotique or offensive jokes to tell, I can always fall back on the old line, "Hey, I made this really unflattering Mii of you!".

Is anyone else addicted to Animal Crossing?

I own Animal Crossing for the DS and for the gamecube. I'm currently glued to my DS every chance to fit in increments of Animal Crossing.

Whether I'm visiting that scoundrel Tom Nook's store, planting exotic fruits, stashing fossils, or upgrading my house via cheating, I just can't get enough of it!

Which is pretty amazing considering that it's one of the lamest, most babyish games out there. But it's a best-seller for a reason.

Is anybody elses' Wii Weather Channel acting up?

My Wii Weather Channel is telling me that it's currently night time and 42 degrees. Although it is clearly colder than a bitter ice cube right now, I don't really find this accurate. Has anybody else encountered this problem?

Clever Blender-dude series "Will it Blend" blends an iphone! In a blender!

Would you like a delicious iPhone cocktail?


And the "Will it Blend" guy actually put the grimy remains on eBay. Bidding has ended, but here's a saucy little screenshot.



I know this news is over a week old, but I don't live on the internet (usually).

Why can't I find certain things on the iPhone youtube?

When I search for things I know I can find on the regular youtube, I don't get the same results. Regaurdless of what music video I search for, Whitney Houstin always seems to pop up. Help. Now.

one_with_the_gun replied on July 06, 2007 18:01 to the question "When will the iPhone break away from AT&T?" in Apple:

According to some sources, in 2009 the contract between AT&T and Apple is up. You can either wait two years to see what happens, or you can wait a year and switch plans, OR you can pay to have your T-Mobile contract ended. If the 2009 date is true, then there's still uncertainty around whether or not Apple will stay with AT&T.

When will the iPhone break away from AT&T?

I have almost a year left on my T-Mobile service. However, I don't want to change service providers because my service is really good.

one_with_the_gun replied on July 06, 2007 17:51 to the question "Can I buy an iPhone without signing up for Cingular/AT&T?" in Apple:

Yes, as long as you're aware that you cannot use the phone with another service. AT&T will sell you the phone without forcing you to sign up for their service, but you cannot use the phone feature. If you're planning on buying a phone, simply to sell it on ebay, don't count on making a huge profit. If you check the auctions, some iPhones are not getting bids and if they are, it's not much more than the original price.

I just want to buy the phone.

Yes, the iPhone can read PDF files. Perhaps there was an error with your connection or the actual file you tried to open. You should check another PDF file and see if it works.

one_with_the_gun replied on July 06, 2007 17:38 to the question "What applications actually come on the iPhone?" in Apple:

one_with_the_gun replied on July 06, 2007 17:17 to the question "Can I just use a stylus with my iPhone, for easier typing?" in Apple:

The iPhone does not come with a stylus, nor does the keyboard respond to a stylus or pen or whatever you choose to use. It’s designed with a multi-touch screen to respond to your fingertips only. If own or plan to own an iPhone, you have no choice but to adapt to the keyboard. It isn't as bad as everyone is making it out to be.

I heard the typing may be a pain. I was just wondering if there were other options.
