Don't bother with the Macbook Air. Everything's integrated: hard drive, ram (soldered onto the motherboard), and battery. Batteries are usually the first things to go in a notebook and that's screwed into the chassis. Pricey notebook and pricey repairs..

I have an Intel Mac Mini and for the most part web surfing is about the same as a pc. Some stuff don't work as well, like if a site has a video file that's asf or something. Flash stuff works the same. IHB looks the same. Since you want to do video editing, I'd suggest going to an Apple...

@# no_vaseline From around March to May you can find sugar cane Coke in most supermarket stores, thanks to Passover. Aluminum cans are hard to spot, but for the 2 liter Coke look for the yellow caps, they should have the Kosher symbol on them. The ingredients should also say cane sugar instead...

What channel will this be on? Versus? Don't have that channel sadly I always enjoyed watching offroad racing, but it seems that folks in this country only care about racing that's strictly turning left.. I'm pissed that WRC was pulled off of Speed. Other than F1 coverage, Speed is Turn...

<a href="http://www.303products.com">www.303products.com</a> 303 Aerospace Protectant works very well on cleaning the dash. Only problem is it doesn't have a pleasant scent, but that goes away after a few hours.

@balboarenter Thanks. I never knew the name of that place. I only know it as THE spring roll place behind the 99cent store. If anyone ventures out to West Minster and don't want Viet food, there's Alertos. Their fish burrito is very good. <a...

mino2126, I rent a condo and there's no backyard I guess the mattress will do.

Wells Fargo's exposure in subprime scares me. BOA giving credit to illegals and their $2billion to CountryFried scares me. Maybe Union Bank of California for me. Did some digging and they never did any subprime. Will have to see about their prime lending habits..

hmmm I bank with them, time to switch. Anyone have a recommendation for banks?

Ajisen Ramen, nice. I had their ramen in San Gabriel a few years ago and it was pretty decent. Beard Papa....... For the longest time I didn't know what they served, until a friend told me they have the best cream puffs and the shop near her (in SF) always has lines out the door.

I have an indoor hd antenna as well and can get all channels except for 7. Not a huge loss for me, as hd is used primarily for PBS. I currently use Cox for regular digital cable and internet. Sucks that I don't get BBC America or Speed. Each channel belong in different packages that I'll...

I forgot to mention that during the press conference the ticker at the bottom said the fire is 5% contained. On my way to work I looked down Jeffrey road and didn't see anything there directly. All the smoke were coming from Portola Hills area. Driving up the 5 I only saw some small white...

I'm at Jeffrey/Roosevelt and you can see orange smoke. Was just watching the news and the Irvine police chief and fire chief had a press conference. Investigation points to arson that started at 3 different spots.

I just drove back from LA County and you can smell the smoke from Yorba Linda on the 57. With air circulating in my car the smoke still came in. Now back in Northwood. I hope it doesn't get too bad out there.

I was just telling my buddy that CFC just hit a new low, and he tells me that his friend and friend's coworkers bought CFC stock hoping they will go back up in the future. These bag holders work for a small time home builder, a home builder that was looking to build in Atlanta back in the...

Robert Cote of <a href="http://exurbannation.blogspot.com">exurbannation.blogspot.com</a> talked a few times about Amgen going down. Looks like the Thousand Oaks area might just get wiped out...ouch. My friend's brother just graduated and started his job at Countrywide 2 months ago...

@momopi I'll be heading there mid Sept...crossing fingers on not being too hot there then. Good info on the MRT and where to get internet, because I don't think my dad has internet at his place. I forgot the name of the town he's in but he's 20-30mins southwest of Taipei..I think...

momopi "The 1.5 gen from Taiwan already attended elementary school in Taiwan and most have retained enough skill to read Chinese newspapers and comic books. .... Most of the immigrants that came in 1970s-1980s couldn't afford to take regular trips back to Taiwan/HK, but those that came in...

@Janet The show that had the flipper use his old carpet was Property Ladder. The home being flipped was in Pomona, and somehow at the end of the show they made money. Both flippers in that episode were mortgage brokers, wonder what they are doing now... The best part of that...
