    Permission Presupposition...

    I was going to put this into Mobile Computing, but seeing that this is more Android specific, will ask it here. Forgive me if this was the wrong decision. I have an Acer Iconia and here of late a lot of the updates for some of my apps are allowing access to my contacts, my camera and allow it...

    ASUS K52 - Sleepless in Sleep Battle...

    So I have talked with ASUS and they cannot tell me WHERE the magnet would go if I had one. They also can't tell me anything about the magnet, except that it may be in relation to one of the screws. I have looked into the screw zones, and neither of the screws are magnetic, and nothing is of...

    ASUS K52 - Sleepless in Sleep Battle...

    Okay, where do I locate where the magnet was, or is? ASUS won't tell me, and my research into the issue on the web leads nowhere. Does anyone have a picture of an ASUS magnet, or an idea about where on the bezel/screen it should be located? This is crazy, all of this is by a simple magnet...

    [Solved] Cheap-Cheap...

    I showed her a $299 one on BBs website and she is more happy, but for $100 more, she can get a new one with a 2-yr warranty. She's a hopeless wreck in this, I am not going out of my way for all of this drama. Hehe. I appreciate everyone's help and advice very, very much.

    [Solved] Cheap-Cheap...

    My co-worker just asked me for a cheap laptop, but I am beyond cheap, I firmly believe that you get what you pay for, but she will not listen when I mention a $400 laptop, she says she doesn't want to spend more than $250. That's ludicrous to me, so I reach out to you community and ask, in the...

    Maintaining a laptop for as long a life possible
