How often do you upgrade your computer?

Now that I have a real job and lots of disposable income to buy new computer parts, I was wondering how often other people upgrade their computer. Especially people who frequent boards like the General Hardware forum on Anandtech. How long do you wait before buying the latest and greatest...

Underrated Games

also need to add Savage and its sequel Savage II. If you've never heard of it, it combines FPS with RTS. FPS game with a "commander" on each side. You can harvest resources for your commander who can use them to research new weapons and build guard towers.

My proposal on the Bush-era tax cuts . . .

By that argument, why extend any of the tax cuts to anyone? Say a family making $200,000, are they gonna suffer paying 3% more on the 10k difference? The argument Obama is making is that he doesn't want to raise taxes on the middle class and a family of four in NYC making $260,000 still needs...

Best external speakers for ipad?

Airplay only works on the home network and my wireless network doesn't cover the whole house. I don't mind spending a couple hundred on a good speaker if the quality is there since that seems to be the going rate for high quality speakers anyway. The only thing that worries me is that I can't...

My proposal on the Bush-era tax cuts . . .

I'm a Right-leaning moderate and the issue for me is the $250,000 number. There are dramatic differences in cost of living across the country and while $250,000 is rich in some parts, it's clearly middle-class in other parts. If Obama were smarter, he would propose extending the Bush tax cuts...

Help me find this game please

Ever played Freelancer? It's not a 2D game, but everything else seems like what you described. You would probably like it.

WOW question...

This is the perfect time to get started in WoW since there is an expansion coming out on December 7th. The expansion will introduce two new races, so you can be sure that there will be other people leveling up new characters from scratch. It also raises the level cap which effectively resets...

Best external speakers for ipad?

Thanks for the responses. @TheStu: I looked up what airplay is and bluetooth connectivity seems to be better suited for my needs. @Ns1: Those speakers look great, but unfortunately, they aren't wireless. I'll probably be picking up the XtremeMac Tango TRX this weekend if I don't find...

Best external speakers for ipad?

I'd like to pick up some good external speakers for my ipad. My only real requirements are that it be wireless, portable enough to move around the house, and decent sound quality. I'm considering picking up the xtrememac tango TRX from the apple store for $200 since it meets the basic...

Where do you get your news?

I'm just wondering if there are any news websites you guys check regularly. I'm unsatisfied with the local newspaper, CNN, MSNBC, and Foxnews, so I'm looking for alternatives.

Online Game Website / brainstorming help

There's a game called Cowclicker on facebook that's worth checking out if you've never heard of it. It's a parody of social games like farmville, but the basic elements that go into a social game are all presented pretty simplistically. If you want "leveling up", you can always give people an...

Recommend me a game

I don't know, maybe it's because I'm over 30 and have a job or maybe I just suck, but I'm constantly getting killed in BF:BC2. Strangely enough, I actually prefer Battlefield Heroes (F2P online game) and do pretty well without spending any money for premium weapons. No vehicles, but I really...
