So I'm buying a new phone and don't know which to take. Here's my shortlist of phones in my price range, so if anyone has experience with these or any other in that range I'd be grateful to hear. My current phone is Sony Xperia GO - I'm not really satisfied with it, it's very laggy and the main function of every phone (calling and receiving calls) is awful, it sometimes takes over 30 seconds from when the call is connected till when I can actually hear the other side ... very frustrating Sony Xperia M - it's the cheapest of the bunch, looks solid, I'm just afraid if it'll have the same problems like my current Sony. Nokia Lumia 625 - don't know much about i…

I want to get one of these so I can watch Netflix on my bedroom tv. Right now my tv and blu ray player don't support wifi or have apps, and I have directv so I can't watch I to there. I was looking at reviews and seen mixed reviews for the google Chromecast, like it being buggy and not working well. Altho it is much cheaper than the Roku (30 USD vs 100) Anyone have any opinions??

I've attached three images. These are the pages of a letter that one of my great aunts sent from California to my g-g-grandmother during the gold rush days (yes, the letter is, in fact, 150 years old - give or take a few) The paper has aged and the ink has faded to the point that they're almost illegible. I've been trying with Gimp to adjust the background / color contrast to bring the handwriting up to something that's more easily readable. A lot of the other letters / diary entries are more readable but this one just isn't making it. Any help, folks. BTW, if you can - would you tell me how you did it, step by bloody step as I have some more that I need t…

Uh... is any of you on firefox? I notice that on Firefox, this site has a pretty different look. It's surrounded by these thick black frames on every square-shaped object. For example, that "poll, post options and tag box" bar you see when you're creating a thread is surrounded by a black border. It looks weird... I'll get a screenshot if no one is on the same boat.

Earlier on it was working perfectly as it always does. However just went to turn it on and can hear it going through the start up process but the screens blank. The back light is working fine but it's not projecting the images from windows that it should be. It's not showing anything at all! Lol. Before you say it yes I have tried turning it off and back on again, several times! Tried angling the screens position incase it's a loose connection, giving it a little whack didn't help either, lol. Oh dear, it's not looking good! 😳 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been out looking around for a laptop. Usually a Desktop person but I want the space now. Walked out of PC world earlier as they wouldn't do me a deal LOL and the sales people apart from being completely useless as is the norm for there were a arrogant bunch of idiots. (to put it nicely) Gonna head down to RL supplies Tomorrow (online shop) but its warehouse is down the road as that's where I used to buy everything to build my own. But they don't show what they've got for the laptops. So also as I was building my own any helpful suggestions would be good for current laptop specs. Was gonna spend around £400 but can push it a bit if needed.

Did you know that if you type "do the harlem shake" into the search bar on you tube and hit enter, it will dance for you? I found this out the other week and have been driving my family nuts/having fun with it ever since. You'll know it's worked as after you hit enter and sit back for a few seconds you'll hear some music and the you tube icon starts wriggling around. Have fun!!! xxx

Banished is a city building game, no blood, no feuds - just build your city and keep your people fed, warm and happy! It's a one man, Luke, project distributed by Shining Rock Software (which I presume is him). While it sounds trivial, it's not and I have a feeling it could get to be very addicting!!! If you like that type of game it's worth a look and you can't beat the cost US$19.99!
