Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
And related to that, anyone have a particular case they particularly like for protection purposes?
I have a skin on the back of mine because Apple things tend to be slippy and I slide it across couches and beds. I also have a case for travel.
My sister uses LifeProof and the twins have not destroyed her things yet.
The only crack on my iPad is where Kittenish gnawed on it. Now that she's been gone for so long, I am hoping it never dies because it's a sweet reminder. Now. I was annoyed at the time.
I have a Logitech keyboard case. It doesn't protect the screen from anything but dust, but still, KEYBOARD.
I have a few different cases that I use for different things. The one I get the most use out of is a purple plaid one I got at Target. I forgot the brand name, but it comes in a bunch of patterns and colors, and it's got plastic things that the ipad snaps into. My little cousin threw her dad's iPad across the room while it was in one of them, and the iPad was fine.
This was the case I like: [link] The way they show it in the picture, standing up on the case, doesn't really work too well, but I don't really use it that way anyway.
heh. My iPad spends a lot of time in that position, but HBOGo, so....
I wasn't sure where to put this, but today on eBay you can get a $100 iTunes card for $75.

I'm considering getting a Roku. I'm thinking a Roku 1, but could be talked into a Roku 2. Not really seeing the need for a Roku 3 but I'd love to hear from folks who already have any of these models.
Thanks!!!!!
We used our Roku 1 quite happily for a couple of years, but then it stopped playing well with our internet feed. It kept dropping the connection, and the feed was slow, and getting worse. We got a Sony Media Player, and the connection speed and constancy has been miles better. We're very happy with it.
You can network it with your computer to play vids or do photo slide shows you've downloaded onto your hard drive.
ETA: The Sony can also access your internet connection, YouTube, Amazon video, VUDU, Hulu, and a bunch of other channels. The Roku doesn't have that capability.
I have the Roku3...and it does have You Tube, Amazon Prime, and Hulu Plus? I don't know what VUDU is though.
I just got it recently and have so far pretty much only used it to watch Veronica Mars, but it's working well.
