So it has a bigger screen and it might be a tiny bit faster, but what should I care? Does the iPhone 5 even fit in your pocket? They both run on iOS 6! </p> <p>So which is better for its cost? Is the iPhone 5 even worth it at all?</p>ninstrike551Mon, 11 Feb 2013 12:27:34 -0500 Knock Off Androids Worth It?<p><strong>Hello</strong></p> <p>I've been seeing all these cheap Android knock off phones on eBay and other places, which claim to have the specifications of a Galaxy S III, but at half the price!</p> <p>I have been thinking about getting one but I am worried that if I do get one, it will end up just being a piece of crap disguised as a phone...</p> <p>As much as I love my Nokia E5, I want to be able to use more applications and iPhones are to expensive for me...</p> <p><strong>Thanks</strong></p>KyleFoxxThu, 07 Feb 2013 01:01:04 -0500 help with convoluted home networking.<p>I was wondering if I could get advise on how to improve my parents home network. They have two offices on separate ends off the house. One office has the modem and router wile the other one is connected to wireless extender. This does not seem to be a optimal set up for the needs of the house as we are constantly having problems connecting to printer or drives that are on the network or having IP conflicts. </p> <p>So any suggestions on how to connect two offices together better with out the confusion of this wireless extender of treating this wireless extender like its own network.</p> <p>Please be gentle with me.</p>TruthfulFacadeThu, 31 Jan 2013 00:42:01 -0500 does Google know where you live?<p>I mean it's pretty straight forward. I went downtown and it gave me the notification that I was x minutes away from my house. How does it poll that data of where I live? Does it track my location to see if I'm stationary for x amount of time and sets it as default? This is Google Now, btw.</p> <p><img alt="alt text" src="/upfiles/Screenshot_2012-12-21-12-44-30.png"></p>DJ Scooby DooFri, 21 Dec 2012 14:35:03 -0500 music sound slower to you the more you listen to it?<p>So I'm mobbing with my friends while driving home and I just noticed this song goes super slow. Normally this song goes really fast but I noticed this was going slow. I noticed this is in my favorites so I'm playing this song everyday on my way to school. Does music get slower the more you listen to it? I mean I remember I stopped listening to a song a month ago and when I played it back just the other week it was normal tempo.</p> <p><img alt="alt text" src="/upfiles/4866.jpg"></p>DJ Scooby DooThu, 11 Oct 2012 20:30:52 -0400 is a lease purchase?<p>I am selling my house and my real estate agent asked me if I wanted to consider a lease purchase for a maximum of 6 months. What is a lease purchase? Is it better to consider it?</p>rocketnaterTue, 18 Sep 2012 16:37:41 -0400 Radio keeps giving me Jersey radio stations instead of New York stations<p>I'm using TuneIn Radio on my MyTouch 4G, and when I click on my local station, lets say Z100, it says it's not available and it moves me to a Jersey station for a replacement. My phone doesn't think I'm in Jersey when I ping my location on Google Maps, it says I'm in the Bronx or the Heights which is accurate. What can I do that I can change it to my location? I tried re-installing to no avail. I try to access it on the New York section of the radio search, but it keeps saying I can't access it for some reason. I tried it on the I heart Radio app, which pings your location and gives you radio stations you can listen to, and it does say I'm in New York. </p> <p>Edit, 24/9/12, Almost a month, Tune-in still does it -__-. It sucks when you're in the car with your homies, and you're driving next thing you know, BAM, station stops and plays a different one when you're just jamming to the music. Only about 3 stations don't switch over to Jersey stations, for example this Spanish station, Mega 97.9. <img alt="alt text" src=""></p>DJ Scooby DooTue, 28 Aug 2012 23:11:03 -0400 does it take so long for a song to get popular?<p>I'm on Pandora, and I'm listening to Lights by Ellie Goulding and it's on Today's Hip Hop and Pop radio station and I'm wondering how I haven't heard of this song before. I mean this song is legit, you could blast it on your stereo. Then I look on iTunes to download it, and it says it's from 2010. I'm going crazy because this song is on every Top 40 station in America right now, on heavy rotation as it says on WhoSampled. I've also noticed it for songs made here too, I mean Hopsin's been around since 2007 and now he's getting attention everywhere because of his song Ill Mind of Hopsin 5. So I'm wondering why did it take so long for a song that was made basically 2-3 years ago to get hot here in America? I'd think everyone in England is sick of the song, lol.</p>DJ Scooby DooWed, 22 Aug 2012 22:22:49 -0400 have you used Web browsers in the past and now present?<p>Doing a school assignment for IT and need to ask a few people how have you used web browsers in the past (you can go as far back as you want) and also how you use it today. Thanks guys :D</p>jacobthriller1982Sun, 19 Aug 2012 20:01:39 -0400 hard is it to maintain a website?<p>So, I'm thinking about making a website. Just a personal one, maybe for file storage, and also maybe for a vanity email like <a href=""></a>.do, or maybe I'm wondering how hard is it to maintain a site? I mean it's not going to be a blog or whatever, it's going to just be a site for me. Is it better to get something like HostGator to keep the site up and running or is it better I do it myself with Road Runner's business plan?</p> <p>Edit 25 August 2012, bought <a href=""></a>.do and from my ISP Claro Dominicana and through a mutual friend :D Don't know what I'm going to do with them, but that Based God domain name, I'd probably link it to a .swf file of Lil B's Wonton Soup for the luls.</p>DJ Scooby DooFri, 03 Aug 2012 13:39:03 -0400 does a Technical Architect do?<p>What exactly does a Technical Architect and how can one learn that skill? I believe that you need to know a lot about kernel? Help?</p>ArmedAlpacaSat, 28 Jul 2012 13:09:56 -0400 do I deal with bypassers in OpenDNS?<p>Hello </p> <p>I am having problem with bypassers. They bypass the OpenDNS filter by just changing the DNS number in their devices. Then they can easily access blocked sites.</p> <p>Is there a way to prevent them changing it without touching his device? Because even if I remove administrator privileges, it won't make difference because they are good at IT. </p> <p>I have sent to OpenDNS this question and they replied: </p> <p>"If you have a router that supports traffic forwarding, configure the DNS settings of the network router to use OpenDNS and then configure the router to forward all DNS traffic to it's own internal network IP address. Not many routers support this, but some do."</p> <p>No idea what this means.</p> <p>By the way, I've got a good router -- it's Netgear dgnd3300v2</p> <p>Please, guys, help!</p>abadi00Fri, 27 Jul 2012 12:41:34 -0400 you try a new Community?<p>I have created a new community, just for geeks. Will you mind giving it a spin? [Link Removed] - Website doesn't work good at all in Internet Explorer just a warning now. But then again, what geeks use IE?</p> <p>(And sorry if this is considered as spam, I'll remove it if a mod asks.)</p>CameronFri, 20 Jul 2012 01:19:00 -0400 is Microsoft making it seem bad to have XP in 2012?<p>So I'm on the Microsoft website looking for a Windows 8 Release Preview download right, and I look down and it says "Still have Windows XP?" To me that kind of seems rude in my opinion. Like the way it's written, Still have it? Making it seem that you're behind 2-3 generations is bad. <a href=""></a> is the link in question. It maybe just me or is Microsoft getting a bit more aggressive with people on XP to move to Vista-7-8, or not even Vista, 7 or 8. Since XP and Vista are apparently getting just the basics to survive. I still like XP and Vista no matter what, those were the editions of Microsoft we geeks know like the back of our hands. What do you guys think?</p> <p><img alt="alt text" src="/upfiles/Untitled5_2.png"></p>DJ Scooby DooSun, 15 Jul 2012 15:53:25 -0400 Bluetooth headphones supposed to sound muddy?<p>I have a pair of Motorola S10 headphones found here: <a href=""></a>, and they sound muddy af when I listen to music like Bachata or Rap. Are they supposed to be like this? I heard Bluetooth isn't supposed to sound true like when you plug in good headphones like Sennheisers or SONY's, but these sound like music from a Go-Kart from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (if you get that reference, lol). Any tips to make it sound better? I'm not using this as my main headphones, but it's nice to have when you don't feel like messing with wires or whatnot. </p> <p><img alt="alt text" src="/upfiles/1000000138.PNG"> <img alt="alt text" src="/upfiles/IMG_6564.png"></p>DJ Scooby DooThu, 14 Jun 2012 18:57:00 -0400 can I get into an entry level job at an IT place or game design place?<p>I'm a big geek. I love computers and pretty much anything to do with electronics. I'm currently 17 and just graduated high school this year. I currently work at OfficeMax and am just not connecting with my job. I'm going to start getting my associates in Software Engineering in the spring of next year and want to find an IT job sometime this summer. I've even tried starting my own computer repair company with no avail, yet, as I only get a client or 2 each month. So pretty much what I want to know is what you guys think I could do to help me land an IT job. What will make me stick out from the crowd being as young and under certified as I am? I appreciate all questions and comments! Thanks!</p>AmyrildoraWed, 06 Jun 2012 21:33:41 -0400 is this blemish on the monitor?<p>I noticed about a week ago that there is a blemish on my screen. It is 2 little TINY dots, but them being there...bothers me. They almost look like burnt out pixels. I have tried using screen cleaner spray on it. Didn't work. Ideas? ALSO: it is a laptop</p>CaelanFri, 01 Jun 2012 01:33:46 -0400 would be the best it certification to get<p>I am looking to get into the it business and was wondering what it certifications should I get.</p>jmurphyThu, 31 May 2012 23:41:57 -0400 keyboard layout do you have and can you get used to another countries' standard?<p>I've been thinking about this lately as I'm buying a laptop for my aunt here in the States. The Dominican Republic uses the Latin American US-International keyboard layout (like the rest of Latin America as the name suggests). I'm wondering can you get used to another countries' standard keyboard, like for example you're from America, can you get used to a UK layout or a Swedish layout if needed?</p> <p>I bounce between the US and the Latin American standard US-International keyboard as I live in both countries.</p>DJ Scooby DooSat, 26 May 2012 18:52:42 -0400 it be possible to write something like Minecraft but in C#?<p>I know that it was written mostly in Java (and a little bit of Objective-C), but would it be possible to write something like it but in C# (or preferably VB!-)?</p>RafalChmielFri, 11 May 2012 11:08:02 -0400 you gotten used to the Metro UI?<p>I've been using Windows 8 Consumer Preview off and on for the past 2-3 months, and I've gotten used to the Metro UI. It's annoying clicking the Desktop icon every time when you start, but other than that, it's been flawless to me. Do I miss the start button? Yes, but right clicking in the Start screen brings you to the all apps pane, and Windows Charms has been good to me. Even now I'm typing this with the Explorer Metro App (albeit my Firefox has been acting kind of wonky lately). Have you guys gotten used to the Metro UI?</p> <p><img alt="alt text" src=""></p>DJ Scooby DooSun, 06 May 2012 17:56:29 -0400 doesn't list songs in correct order, I need help!<p>See this song is named "Que Ironia", and apparently it's under the letter M. I don't know why, and I don't know how it's listed under M. No matter what I do, it's still under the letter M. It doesn't have a letter M anywhere in it's name. How do I make my iPhone realize that it should be under Q instead of M?</p> <p><img alt="alt text" src="/upfiles/photo_2_4.PNG"> <img alt="alt text" src="/upfiles/photo_1_8.PNG"></p>DJ Scooby DooThu, 26 Apr 2012 18:15:08 -0400"upscale" video to make it look better?<p>Some DVD players make video from old DVDs look better.</p> <p>Is there software out there for the same kind of thing but for video on my computer?</p> <p>I have all the Simpsons episodes on my server and want to make them look better.</p> <p>Anyone know of anything?</p>Jackster1337Fri, 06 Apr 2012 21:51:32 -0400 do you think I should change about my website?<p>I just would like some feedback on what people think about my site,</p> <p>Thanks a lot!</p> <p>The link is: <a href=""></a></p> <p>(Is the load time okay for you?)</p>Cory8uWed, 29 Feb 2012 21:24:34 -0500 it true that you can get paid for watching YouTube/ad videos?<p>I heard from my friend that he makes some money out of just watching YouTube videos or ads.
