    Data usage for LTE/4G only.

    Yup, last phone I ever got on contract was some old nokia T9 phone from 6-7 many years ago. Now I buy unlocked mobiles, usually from other country.

    Is feeding ducks bread bad??

    I heard that feeding ducks carbs is just like feeding groundhogs and squirrels bread, it has no nutritional value for them. Parks with water in CA are pretty bad for this reason alone, people feed ducks the carbs and they destroy the sidewalks with craps. No one wants to sit on the grass or...

    Data usage for LTE/4G only.

    When I'm away from home for awhile, I tether a lot and use 5+GB HSPA easily in 1-2 weeks. Last time I moved, I tethered about 10gb HSPA in one month before I got home internet. Now I have Nexus 4, I can switch between toggle LTE or HSPA. Usually on average I use around 1-2GBs per regular...

    Home Security Systems

    I remember from the studies I read on home burglaries, there are some factors that you can't fix unless you move. Like homes at the entrance of a block/street, census tract areas marked by high poverty (nobody is going to be afraid of burglarizing), the pro/inactiveness of the neighbors in...

    Home Security Systems

    I remember the news and it said it recorded evidence for police. Maybe a different model. I'm pretty sure it was a Belkin.

    Reba, if I recall correctly you use a BB on Alltel (now T-mobile) right? It's already a 'smart'phone. :cool2: I switch between a flip dumbphone and smartphone, depending on what I need to use it for. My plan's still set for smartphone provisioned. The dumbphone can hold a charge for about a...

    I found the device that was in the news that I saw on TV. Now I remember it was a nanny cam. There isn't an article online about the burglary incident though. NetCam Wi-Fi Camera with Night Vision | NetCam | Connected Home | Products | Belkin USA Site

    Court of public opinion looms large in George Zimmerman murder trial

    low education, hype, low IQ or something along those lines. It boggles my mind too. Some people (of all races) don't seem to realize that the Oakland police are not related to the Sanford FL Police, nor is the city of Oakland/state of CA is related to Sanford/FL.

    I remember seeing or reading a news about a woman in my local area with a cheap motion sensor camera in her home. It starts recording when it detected motion, and can send email/text. Recorded a burgling event and it was used by cops to find the suspect. Think it was from Belkin or some other...

    Man in bed killed by falling cow

    If you visit Central/Southern American countries, cows are treated a bit differently than we do in the states. In the poorer areas, they aren't really fenced.. They can roam freely across town. We had some small incidents where the cows blocked the road, and we had to wait till they move a...

    Court of public opinion looms large in George Zimmerman murder trial

    Yeah, I'm specifically referring to while being in Florida. I'm trying to determine what this law is stating for future good folks of the sunshine state... irrespective of the ruling with George being found not guilty.

    Court of public opinion looms large in George Zimmerman murder trial

    So it sounds like what the Floridan law is saying, any person with CCW can defend themselves if they believe their life is in danger regardless of most circumstances that lead to it (ie: a fight, verbal abuse, disagreement). Along with some decent evidence that bodily harm is present or that the...

    Free GPS HA HA!

    For google maps in android version, we can use offline download. I used it while I was outside of US. It saved me some $$ to avoid buy offline maps. I think they will add to iOS maps eventually.

    Court of public opinion looms large in George Zimmerman murder trial

    Paul, you might run away when you are in fear. For some people, fear doesn't mean running away. I think I would fight someone even if I'm fearful. Some people, they fight back. CSign just explained the fight or flight response to you in the earlier post. Not all people will fight, some do and...

    Do you turn them off or leave it on at all times?

    Yes, I have a kill a watt unit to test electricity draw. In US, 1 kWh (kilowatt hour) runs on average about $0.10 per electricity supplier. Added up, if something is running around ~30watts while standby/off, it can cost around $25+ a year. Some units that I have found that need to be fully...

    Court of public opinion looms large in George Zimmerman murder trial

    We will never know what Trayvon and George felt during the incident, what really led to the chase, fight and gunshot, only George and maybe O'mara does. Yes, the court has been adjourned. George may not be found guilty in a court of law, but that doesn't mean other people can't have opposite...
