    iPhone GPS app: Navigon or TomTom?

    Anyone have a recommendation on which GPS app for the iPhone is better? a) TomTom b) Navigon c) ? TomTom and Navigon have both been updated recently so most of the reviews online aren't very useful. They're both on sale through today too. Thanks

    slow internet (upload faster than download)?

    I'm on Comcast cable and today it feels like I'm on a 56k. When I went over to DSLreports to do a speed test this was the result. The download sucks and the upload is 4 times the download. The test also says something like "Warning, isp upload compression has been detected". Anyone have any...

    virtual machine question

    Do any of the virtual machine software allow you to create a VM based on the host machine that it's running on? In other words, I have XP installed on my computer. I install some VM software, and create a VM. Instead of putting in the XP install disk, I want it to create the VM based on my...

    Where's the Starcraft CD key stored?

    Had Starcraft installed on my old computer. Built a new computer, and I have both my Starcraft and Broodwars CD's, but can't find the Starcraft CD case, which apparently had the CD key on it. Is my CD key somewhere in my registry settings of my old computer or something?

    driver cleaner isn't free?

    Last time I used it was several years ago and it was free. Now the website says it's $10? I don't have a problem paying for it, but I wanted to make sure this wasn't some sort of scam especially since the pay link goes to a UK site. Is there a better alternative to driver cleaner?

    question about getting car serviced

    I called the dealership about bringing the car in for service since it's supposed to get serviced at 5000 miles. They told me that the earliest they could have me in was in a month, since they're backed up due to a recall. In that month I'll probably put another 1000 miles on it. My question...

    Wireless Access Point vs. Wireless Router.

    I already have a router and switch set up for my home network, but recently I've been thinking of getting a WAP so I can use my laptop in the living room. So when I walk into the store and see wireless routers going for about ~$100, I think "great! a wap should be cheaper than that", but...
