Nah...Wayne's mixtapes are fire (Dedication 2 and No Ceilings specifically) C1 and C2 are nice as well. Pretty much everything else is trash.

I use Pandora frequently on my BlackBerry. I just plug it into my speakers and it plays through them in my house, or I'll work out using it...gives me some new music choices, which is cool. I've also heard good things about Slacker Radio (maybe for you Canadians it'd be a good option!)

i thought it was a pretty good deal too...I don't know too much about laptops but for 4gb of ram, 320gb hdd, cd burner, dvd player, HP's reputation and it got good reviews, I thought for 579 it seemed like a good price...

Ended up spending a little more then I really wanted to. But whatever, I feel like I got a really nice laptop...My sister and parents have Toshiba's, and honestly, I really didn't like them...scared me away from getting one. Ended up going with this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Pavilion+Laptop+with+AMD+Turion%26%23153%3B+II+Dual-Core+Mobile+Processor+-+Moonlight+White/9554671.p?id=1218123526907&skuId=9554671 on it as we speak!

It's a mixtape, not an album, I believe. But it is a pretty good 'tape. I downloaded it a few months back and I was pretty impressed. Some nice beats, pretty decent flow. Lyrically it's ok. The Lupe comparison doesn't make much sense considering XV isn't on his level lyrically. XV does murder the "Bad News (Kanye West) beat. Overall, it's a solid mixtape. Nothing special though.

i got these in like a black n gold not sure why maybe they ran out of that color but they dont show it on the site anymore. http://www.karmaloop.com/products.aspx?ProductID=69517&VendorCode=WEC they are pretty nice. for over-the-ear headphones i don't think they are all that expensive. sound is pretty good, bass was pretty impressive in them. to be fair, they aren't all that comfortable. maybe i have to get used to them on the ear or break them in (used to earbuds) but they hurt my ear after a good 20 minutes of listening, so you may want to look else where. And I've heard good things about SkullCandy.

what are the main differences then

Pretty much. I will probably be doing some photoshoping, a ton of music, possibly some picture uploading as well. I really don't see how a netbook would fit what I'm going to use it for. (Sorry if this came off as offensive, I wasn't trying to be lol.)

TBH I've never watched an NBA game on Christmas. For several reasons: It's football season, the NBA is a long, drawn out season...I don't need to watch every game, especially at a time when I'll be busy with family. Secondly, the NBA barely even appeals to me...as seems to be the trend, at least in the U.S. right now. I am finding college to be much more appealing, for a few reasons, but I just tdon't find the NBA Christmas games to be anything special. They are meaningless, and it just doesn't do anything for me. Power to those who enjoy the games. Nothing wrong with that. I think the entire reason we are all on this forum is because we like sports, and specifically basketball. I love basketball, but the NBA this early in the season is...blah.

100$ in gift cards to best buy, and tbh i dont really want a case. prob not really taking it anywhere, lol. 99% of the time used in my house. i'm leaning towards the toshiba for $550 intel dual core processor, 3gbram, 320hdd, seemed like a good deal.

Ok, I can understand and respect your thinking on that...but at the end of the day this country certainly has a crisis. Whether you want universal health care or not isn't even close to what I am saying.

about $300 from relatives/parents WeSc headphones Numerous clothing items hmm...that's about it i believe.

Isn't it 46 million people without it? And it depends who you ask, and what source. On MSNBC I've watched shows where they say 60% of the country wants it, and I've watched shows on FOX News when they say 35% want it...so, really, I could care less about the numbers - doesn't matter what your political stance is, every politician has admitted to it being a crisis...the approach to fix the problem is obviously different in their ideaology, which is fine, but you're pretty much retarded if you can't recognize the problem.

It's about time we are making an attempt to fix the health care crisis.

Calling all PC guru's out there, I need your help!... What I need: Laptop that's $500 or less. I REALLY don't want to go over 500, but if something that's 550 is THAT much better, I MIGHT consider it. What I'd use it for: A lot of internet surfing, music, possibly photoshop, word processing like essays for school...basic stuff mostly (which is why i dont want to spend over 500) Some I've considered: It has to be from best buy because I have two gift cards from x-mas to there, plus a bunch of other money i got for xmas. like i said, my budget is around 500. if it has to go to 550, i'll put it into consideration. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olstemplatemapper.jsp?id=pcat17080&type=page&initialize=false&sp=%2Bcurrentprice+skuid&nrp=15&iht=n&list=y&sc=abComputerSP&qp=crootcategoryid%23%23-1%23%23-1~~q70726f63657373696e6774696d653a3e313930302d30312d3031~~cabcat0500000%23%230%23%23205~~cabcat0502000%23%230%23%233d~~cpcmcat196200050013%23%230%23%231~~f518%7C%7C4c657373207468616e2024363030~~f551%7C%7C496e74656c26233137343b~~f628%7C%7C4f766572203230304742~~nf895%7C%7C57696e646f77732037&usc=abcat0500000&ks=960&st=processingtime%3A%3E1900-01-01&prids=&cp=1&_requestid=174882 those are some of the laptops im considering. please, someone who's educated, fill me in on which i should go for. thanks for the help. -jyd

Hmm...not sure. One of my favorite foods growing up has always been Chicken Parm.

lol so wack

sounded pretty wack from what i've heard... tbf i havent listened to the entire album

It's too little time to judge a President - far too little. His approval ratings are irrelevant now, the only time they will be relevant is at the end of his term. When we can sit back and assess what he did, what he promised, what he did/didn't deliever on, etc. Until then, you can't really judge his Presidency or any Presidency for that matter. There's still too much time left in it.

im on a straight cash diet!!!

best player in cbb hands down

Got the BB storm about two months ago. Absolutely love it. Not sure why it got such a bad wrap, but I really love all the features and the touch screen has worked well for me thus far.

Apple laptops look extremely nice. We have them at school, and admittingly, like other Mac owners have stated, work well and are very smooth. I am now in the market for a new laptop (my dell inspiron 6000 works OK right now, somewhat slow however, missing the letter "T" on the keyboard, and is about 5-6 years old) and looking at the Apple Macbook prices REALLY turned me off to Apple. I can get a comparable Windows 7 laptop from Dell, or a HP from Best Buy for about half the price. It's worth it to me, yes the Apple's may be SLIGHTLY better, but not enough to be DOUBLE the price.

Most of my picks were bad, but sorry, I just had to bring this topic back because of these quotes above.

Probably still in Jersey.
