    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

    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...

    Shopping for a new notebook computer

    I don't know too awful much about computers so I'm hoping you guys can give me some advice. I'm looking for a new computer running windows 7. I'm wanting a really fast processor and plenty of RAM. Compact and lightweight size and loud speakers would be a plus, but not a requirement. Leaning...

    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...
