    Best GoPro mount for tubing?

    I am going tubing this weekend and I want to be able to bring my GoPro with me. I was planning on picking up a head strap and I already have the floating back door, but I'm worried that going over a big wake could knock the camera off. I know that's what the floaty door is for, but I just got...

    Are USB Speakers good for PC??

    Everything you're asking is completely dependent on what model you get. There certainly are decent usb speakers out there. Do you have a pair in mind?

    I want to buy a laptop

    Upgrading a laptop is near impossible, especially for someone without a lot of experience building and maintaining PC's. The processor you go with isn't quite as important as your GPU. What is your budget range? Oh, and take down that 32gb of virtual memory you allocated for your current...

    Kodak Easyshare Mechanical Problems.

    I've had this problem on a different P&S camera. Ended up having sand stuck in the thing from when my mom used it to photograph her class at the beach. Brought it to Walmart photo center and they were able to clean it out with some compressed air. So if you've got some lying around you could...

    what is the best Virtual software that will support 3D gaming

    VMWare is always solid. http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ But why do you want to run your games in a virtual machine at all? Your performance isn't ever going to be as good.

    My wife and I are going on our first vacation together in a couple weeks. We will be going to Florida, spending a few days at Disney World and a couple at Daytona Beach. I currently have a Nikon d3100 with 18-55 and 55-200 lens as well as an SB700 speedlight. That's a lot of equipment to carry...

    Hd media player vs conecting mac to tv

    You shouldn't be losing video quality with an adapter like that. But, keeping track of that adapter and leaving that cable becomes annoying after a while. Have you considered an Apple TV? That would let you mirror your laptop display to your TV, plus it has other streaming services like netflix...

    Samsung or LG? Around $1000

    Personally I prefer Sony, but I believe Samsung actually manufactures Sony's panels. It really all depends on the set and your personal preference though. Samsung I've typically found to have better black levels, but LG's color accuracy seems to be better. Did you have 2 models in mind already...

    Can HDMI amp pass-through 5.1 to Digital Optical soundbar?

    You shouldn't have to patch the cables that way. Just an optical cable from your TV to the soundbar should work. Try removing the optical cable from your PS3 and change the settings to output sound through HDMI. Then go to the audio settings for your TV and set it to only output everything...

    samsung plasma tv

    When you connect your PC, Xbox, etc. it should detect your resolution and adjust itself to display 480p. When you play your video, you will still see the whole image, the device will just downstep the video's resolution. This being said, you aren't going to notice a difference between a Blu-ray...
