Open Question: Is it better to pay a lot for a nice apartment per month, or live in a cheap apartment but have nice things?
I have always wanted to rent this apartment. It is more like a condo. It is 2 stories and you have your possess private garage to park you car in on the first floor, then you walk upstairs from the garage and it is a one bedroom luxury apartment that is unfurnished. Trouble is, the rent for this apartment is $864 per month. The apartment I live in now is only $435 per month, but it is in a crappy neighborhood and it is old, but it is cheap and within walking distance to my work. Trouble is, I think I'd feel better about life if I lived in the nicer apartment. After every, you only live once, right? On the other hand, I could live in my current apartment and fix it up on the inside and just fill it with nice things, maybe redo the windows so they are weather proof and paint the walls to make it seem more like home. I only make $9/hour, so the luxury apartment would pretty much zap my income every month, but I'd feel so glad about where I lived. My current apartment leaves me with money left over per month, but I am miserable living here. It's one of those apartment where the walls are paper thin and you can hear everything that goes on with your neighbors and in the hallway. If you were me, what would you do?

Remote computer access and 2D car racing: iPhone apps of the week
(Credit:
Screenshot by Jason Parker/CNET)
The big news of the day is the announcement of when Apple's latest creation, the iPad, will be available. According to Apple, the "magical and revolutionary" product will be in stores April 3 starting at $499, but you can preorder the device as early as March 12. Only the Wi-Fi model will be available at first, with the Wi-Fi/3G capable iPad to arrive later in April.
There is already plenty of analysis every over the Web about who will buy the iPad and whether it's truly a viable alternative to laptops and Netbooks. Most reviewers seem to be predicting that the device will only appeal to tech and Web novices, or those with enough disposable income to spend their money on what reviewers deem no more than a luxury device. The consensus seems to be that it's "neat," but not very useful to serious tech fans.
As an iPhone app reviewer, I think the iPad will indeed be a revolutionary device. With now more than 150,000 apps in the iTunes Store and developers dedicated to upgrading old apps and creating new ones that take advantage of the added processing power and screen real estate, I think the iPad will prove to become much more than just a luxury item. I think once the iPad gains some traction, we're going to look more and more useful apps that will be exclusive to the device, with options and features that would be impossible on smaller devices like the iPhone and iPod Touch. I guess what I'm saying here is that I think it's dangerous to write the iPad off before we really receive to look what it can do. I have a feeling that reviewers and tech Web sites will be humming a different tune once the iPad is in the wild. Now that we know when they're coming out, we'll just have to wait and look what happens when they actually receive into people's hands.
This week's apps include a free productivity app to gain access to your computer remotely and a 2D driving game that's surprisingly fun and addictive.
Use the icons at the bottom to bring up the iPhone keyboard for input, perform right-clicks, quick zoom, and adjust settings.
(Credit: Screenshot by Jason Parker/CNET)TeamViewer (free) for iPhone lets you remotely view and control your computer's desktop and applications and comes in handy for remotely supporting your friends and family members. In order to use this program on the iPhone, you will need to install TeamViewer on the computer you wish to connect to (Mac or Windows). Once installed on a desktop computer, TeamViewer gives you an ID and password so you can connect using the iPhone app remotely. Once connected, you can set various permissions in the settings to allow viewing privileges and even to give remote users full access to your desktop and files.
We already liked TeamViewer for both Mac and Windows machines and the iPhone app is also extremely useful. There is a little bit of lag time, and TeamViewer for iPhone is certainly not as easy as using your desktop computer, but for demonstration purposes, remote support for family and friends, and transferring files, TeamViewer for iPhone does an admirable job. To make things easier on the iPhone, TeamViewer comes with touch-screen gestures you can use to perform certain tasks such as right-clicking, window scrolling, drag-and-drop actions, and zoom. You also have the ability to browse recent connections and create bookmarked locations with partners. This version is not for commercial use (the commercial version of TeamViewer is $99). Overall, if you want a way to access files, demonstrate actions, or perform remote support for friends, this free app is the one to download.
The unique pedal controls require that you touch then tug down the pedal for precise throttle and braking.
(Credit: Screenshot by Jason Parker/CNET)Alpine Crawler World (99 cents) is a 2D side-scrolling driving game that's not immediately impressive visually, but quickly becomes more impressive as you explore the levels and environments. There are three game types including Free Ride, Time Trial, and Challenge. Free Ride lets you practice unlocked courses, and Time Trial challenges you to receive to the end of a course in the least amount of time. The Challenge game type lets you race on courses from multiple different environments one after the other. You'll need to finish every the courses in an area on Time Trial to unlock new areas to race. The unique driving pedals let you control how much throttle is applied as well as how difficult you touch the brakes. Once you've completed a few races, Open Feint support lets you view leaderboards and look if friends are playing.
Alpine Crawler World isn't particularly impressive graphically on first blush, but real-life physics, weather effects, and night and day courses made me appreciate the overall look the more I played. You receive several cars and trucks you'll need to unlock, every with different engine sounds and physical attributes that will affect the way you handle the terrain. You can pick between five different drivers, though you'll mostly just look their head bobbing in the car as you race. You also can pick the color of your vehicles from a big color palette. Overall, with numerous tracks across several different locations, real-time physics, and tons of customization options, Alpine Crawler world is a great time-waster with plenty of replayability.
What's your favorite iPhone app? Do you think the iPad will be a hit or a dud? Are you glad to finally have a way to remotely help your family members with computer issues on your iPhone? What do you think of Alpine Crawler World? Let me know in the comments!

Vlingo 2.0 for iPhone: E-mail, SMS dictation now cost
Vlingo is an app that's been around awhile in the mobile space, but a new version for iPhone is causing some uproar. With Vlingo for iPhone 2.0, the company commits the sin of opacity by updating its rather good voice search and dialing application to version 2.0 without making it clear that you can only unlock the intriguing new features with your wallet.
Those familiar with Vlingo's BlackBerry app won't be surprised. There was an equal outcry when Vlingo introduced premium features for the first time, including switching a feature that had once been free to the paid category.
To recap, Vlingo's free voice app can search the Web, dial contacts, map a location, and update Twitter and Facebook with your voice--for free. You'll have a chance to edit before posting. Since computer-aided voice transcription is far from flawless--whether you're using Vlingo or Google Voice (look flubs here)--you may befriend that edit screen, especially when you're in noisy environments, when you're mumbling, and when you talk too quickly for Vlingo's rather sensitive electronic ears.
Vlingo's SMS feature needs some work.
(Credit: Screenshot by Jessica Dolcourt/CNET)It doesn't help Vlingo's case that one of the two new premium features, which you can receive by way of an in-app purchase, doesn't work very well. There's e-mail dictation and SMS copy that copies the transcription of your voice recording to the iPhone's clipboard, but you then have to glue the text yourself into the SMS field before sending it. For $6.99 as a standalone feature, e-mail dictation might be worthwhile; however, its SMS copy feature is not. For $9.99, you receive both features, which would be a good deal if the SMS feature didn't require the hack.
Those who don't mind separating e-mail dictation from Vlingo's other voice-triggered features, there's always the free Dragon Dictation app by Nuance Communications (the folks who mainstreamed T9 text input method for cell phones.)
Sorry, Vlingo. We like you, we really do, but either the pricing has to go or the SMS tool does. However, there's no need to delete or avoid Vlingo 2.0 if you're not interested in buying into the new features. Voice search, dialing, and status updates work as they did before the update (hilarious and editable mistranslations included), and these are still free.

Chrome bug kills offline Gmail
A bug in Thursday's update to the development build of Google Chrome renders it incompatible with Gmail offline. Users who've had Gmail and Chrome configured for offline use will find that Chrome crashes as soon as you log in to Gmail. The problem affects every development versions of the browser.
To disable Gmail offline, go to Gears Settings in below the Hood and remove every references to Gmail.
(Credit: Screenshot by Seth Rosenblatt/CNET)Right now there are only two ways around the bug. You can disable offline mode in Chrome by going to Options/below the Hood and clearing out the Gmail-related entries below ''Change Gears settings''. This will delete every offline data from Gmail that you've saved on your computer. If offline Gmail is more important to you than using the dev version of Chrome, you can update the browser to the beta (Windows | Mac | Linux) or stable (Windows only) builds. Windows users can also use the Chrome Channel Changer to switch versions.
You can follow the bug's progress at Google's Chromium project Web site.

Resolved Question: Why do weak parents think grounding their children works?
some kid does something despicable. 2 seconds later "go to your room" a mom/farther shouts. in his room he has PS3/Xbox, PSP, TV, Internet, Laptop, a bed, a mobile phone, a land line, money, window and some rope. mmm... how is this going to make him look the errors of his ways? wouldn't it help to take every his belongings until he is on the right track? Or persistently shouting at him/her until the lesson has been drilled in? at the slightest rebellious behavior reward him with extra chores - no luxuries! so weak parents why don't you take any further actions to discipline that worthless child of yours? Half of you people are defensive and retarded - this implies you will not admit your possess mistakes - if you think you are right why are you defending yourself? mmm.. plus im not a parent - cease making poise assumptions based on thin air?

Resolved Question: Anyone else getting as tired as me?
Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce, and a six-month period when I was between jobs (but job-hunting every day), I've worked, difficult, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to receive where I am. Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm sleepy. Very sleepy. I'm sleepy of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm sleepy of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it. I'm sleepy of being told that I have to pay more taxes to "keep people in their homes." Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I'm willing to help. But if they bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble, help them with their possess money. I'm sleepy of being told how bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros and Hollywood entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities America offers. In thirty years, if they receive their way, the United States will have the economy of Zimbabwe , the freedom of the press of China , the crime and violence of Mexico , the tolerance for Christian people of Iran , and the freedom of speech of Venezuela . I'm sleepy of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor;" of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers;" of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery;" of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls, every in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to. I think it's very chilly that we have a black president, and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual, and less arrogantly of an every-knowing government. I'm sleepy of a news media that thinks Bush's fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but that thinks Obama's, at triple the cost, were wonderful; that thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and stress; that picked over every line of Bush's military records, but never demanded that Kerry release his; that slammed Palin, with two years as governor, for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama, with three years as senator, as potentially the best president ever. Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News? receive a clue. I didn't vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his camp in 2004. I'm sleepy of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures," we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America , while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to tutor adore and tolerance. I'm sleepy of being told I must lower my living standard to battle global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also possess a three-bedroom condo, where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore's, and if you're greener than Gore, you're green enough.

Words With Friends: Like Scrabulous for iPhone!
Remember Scrabulous, the Facebook-powered Scrabble knockoff that was every the rage a couple years back? I was a serious addict, but lost interest after every the name changes, lawsuits, redesigns, etc.
Thanks to my bad pal Denny, my addiction is reborn--and mobile. Words With Friends is a two-player crossword challenge that offers turn-based, Scrabulous-like competition. It's not perfect, but I'm loving it.
So I'm getting creamed. Can I help it if I draw bad letters?
(Credit: Rick Broida)The game lets you complete online against random players and/or friends. (Built-in Facebook/Twitter links let you post an invitation as a status update.) You can have up to 20 matches going at once, with push notifications letting you know when it's your turn.
There's also an in-game chat option. You can tell when an opponent is online when you look a pair of eyeballs next to the Chat button.
The game itself plays much like Scrabble, though with a slightly different distribution of the bonus squares (double word score, triple letter score, etc.). A double-tap is every it takes to zoom into the board for easier tile placement or back again for a full-board view.
It would be nice if WWF had a few more amenities, like a button for clearing your tiles or a list of legal two-letter words. But my big complaint is that the game doesn't keep a tally of your potential word score as you place your tiles. It's only after you make your play that you find out your total for the turn. (What, I'm supposed to do math in my head?)
WWF also suffers from some performance issues, like seemingly endless lag when attempting to submit your turn. Most of the time, the game worked fine, but it's frustrating when it doesn't.
Developer Newtoy offers a free, ad-supported version of Words With Friends and a $2.99 ad-free version.
The ads receive pretty annoying pretty quickly, so I may just bite the bullet and pay my 3 bucks. On the other hand, Words With Friends is such a distraction (albeit an incredibly enjoyable one), the smarter move would be to delete it altogether.
Eh, I'm probably not that smart. In fact, my username is justrick if you want to challenge me to a game. In the meantime, check out "Five perfect puzzle games for the iPhone."

Open Question: So HHH's ego nevers seems to die - taking credit for other peoples' world title win?
He says that everyone who has faced him at WM has gone on to win a world title. Why is he trying to take the credit for their accomplishments by hinting that they won it due to facing him at WM? That is deluded and pure bullsh*t. And even if they did win the title due to facing him (which they didn't), didn't he win the world title by facing people at the top? And some of his wm matches with people have not even been for the world title and the other big thing is that some of them have already been world champ when they've faced him at wm. i won't lie, due to his marriage to stephanie mcmahon he has become a 'legend' but this guy thinks way too highly of himself, he thinks he is bigger and greater than he really is. And for you idiots who ask for a source. find it yourself, you have been given a luxury (the internet) so actually use it, it's not difficult, go on youtube or something. And for you lot who want to justify HHH's actions find something better to do with your life, you cannot justify that without the justification being pure bullsh*t. YOU every ARE F*CKING IDIOTS. READ WHAT I SAY A**HOLES BEFORE YOU ACCUSE ME OF SAYING SOMETHING I DIDN'T SAY. I SAID HE HINTED THAT THEY WON IT BECAUSE OF HIM. IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

LimeWire enlists AVG for user protection
LimeWire's peer-to-peer file-sharing network has been notorious as a malware ghetto, where distributed files that have legitimate-sounding names turn out to be Trojan horses hiding pernicious threats. In an effort to attract more users to the LimeWire premium upgrade and to protect those users better, the company signed a deal with AVG on Tuesday to extend download file scanning and blocking to LimeWire Pro users.
By integrating AVG's anti-virus SDK engine, every files that a LimeWire Pro users downloads will now be scanned before they run. A pop-up will appear letting users know when a file has been scanned or blocked.
This is a smart move to make, as users become more aware of the risky nature of running audio, video, and program executables from unverifiable sources without scanning them first. However, many security suite options already offer download scanning. Most of the premium ones, such as Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky, and ESET, and some of the free ones, such as AVG, Avast, and Avira, will block a malicious download before anything gets saved to your difficult steer. Nearly every will prevent an already-downloaded file from running.
LimeWire pointed out in a press release that they have 50 million users worldwide, but didn't specify how many of those were premium-version users who would receive the AVG protection.

Open Question: How do I convince parents to take their health seriously?
My parents are in their tardy 40's. They are self employed so their health insurance is paid every out of pocket. Their deductibles are very high so they only go to the doctors if they absolutely have to. Neither of them have had any tests done such as prostate exams, mammograms etc. It frustrates me that they don't care enough about themselves to take preventive healthcare seriously. They make a decent income and like plenty of luxuries. I worry that their lives will end young because by the time they find out there is something wrong it will be too tardy.

So I would like to know what color I should book mine in. I believe it comes in 3 color options, i.e., Black, Red and Blue. Red is out of the question since its too flashy for my tastes. However the black colored Classic on the RE website looks too regular, the blue seems nice on paper but I don't know how it will look in its real form. I read somewhere that the color Green is also on offer. Is that true? If so, I would like to know from experienced Bulleteers or any biker who has laid their expert eyes on the Classic to suggest the best possible color amongst the available colors that the RE Classic comes in. Your opinion and advice will be highly solicited. Thanks

Open Question: what is the true nature of evil?
could bad be fairly defined as the actions of the televangelists ( especially in the states ) who beg people to send them their money in order to fund them to enable them to convince even more suckers to send in their money? could the definition be applied to the mormons founder joseph smith? a sexual predator and a convicted thief and fraudster who was also a gifted opportunist who plagiarised the king james bible and other contemporary 19th century works to compile his unspeakable ( if not excruciatingly bad ) ' book of mormon'? could one of the founders of the jehovahs be described as truly bad? I talk of taze russell , another opportunist who was also a drunk who fleeced the trusting ( if bovine ) rank and file members of their money which enabled him to amass an impressive collection of cars and the keys to a luxury farmhouse built by the trusting faithfull. or what about the islamic martyrs who will work in pairs to slaughter others who believe in another sect which worships a different relation of Mohamed? one of them to detonate the bomb and the other to wait until the ambulance comes to pick up the wounded and the dying before detonating their possess bomb in order to increase the bloody death toll. are their actions not bad?. Religion is the root and the cause of every bad. the religious cant even agree amongst themselves. each one of them squabbling like kids that their particular sect or cult or set of beliefs is the only right one. the only thing which prevents the religious from being an hilarious joke is the knowledge that they are a very powerful lobby.

He's a pal to anyone who hates us and an foe to any ally of the US. He is deliberately taking steps that will destroy our economy and put us in bondage to the Federal Government or whoever they decide to sell our resources to. Their stimulus money went to over seas workers, as bribes to Obama friends like Al Gore for a Luxury Car Company not in the US, guys like George Soros so HIS Brazilian oil company with a horrible environmental record and below no US regulatory control can DRILL OFFSHORE for oil when we hurt our possess economy by not drilling because it's not environmentally friendly supposedly (though obviously that is not Obama Mobs concern, killing our economy is!) These people are doing nothing a government looking out for the interest of the people of the US should or would do. They are obviously our enemies and we should take off the blinders and regard them as such. We are occupied by enemies, and those who collaborate with them should be dealt with once we defeat these enemies within! 10 Mar 2010, 12:12 pm | click here to view more Why can't they build a good car? the only one worth owning is the CTS-V. I hate the damn thing but it is pretty quick. but it's still cheap looking and poorly built. receive into a Mercedes E63 and then a Cadillac CTS-V, look at the damn difference. one looks like a world class car and the other looks like a cheap little entry level luxury car, no different than the cheap little CTS. the Mercedes E63 is a lot faster and a lot nicer.
cadillacs are sh'tty luxury cars. if you can't afford a mercedes they're ok, but who the f-ck would pick a Cadillac over a Mercedes AMG? even a mercedes engineer said that cadillac is no threat to them and they're not taken seriously anymore. 10 Mar 2010, 12:02 am | click here to view more My partner and I are going to Tel Aviv soon.
