    Internet TV

    I can't speak from experience, however of the reviews I've read, Roku has been the top pick. A used PS3 or Xbox 360 would also work, but both require extra steps just to get to the apps. Roku always stays on and the UI is pretty simple to navigate. I've also heard good things about Amazon Fire...

    “Dreams Come True Momma!” A 2 year old’s first trip ~ May 2015~Complete {NEW TR LINK!}

    DH here. It's a smartwatch. I've had mine for a little over two years now. IMHO it functionally is better than Android Wear and the Apple Watch. It lacks some of the gimmicks in the other current generation of smartwatches, but it's success is in its simplicity, display always on, water...

    Port Orleans Riverside Q&A Thread 2013, Part Three (NOW CLOSED, see 2014 thread)

    Awesome; that helps a lot. Not bringing the laptop because I'm making sure I can't be suckered into working. I'll be using a MHL adapter to run off my phone. I'd like the option of doing Netflix or a rip from our library just in case.

    Port Orleans Riverside Q&A Thread 2013, Part Three (NOW CLOSED, see 2014 thread)

    Two questions: Are movies available on-demand in the room? Do the TV's have a HDMI input one can pipe their own content to?

    MagicBands Can Be Read By NFC Enabled Phones

    The code box of my original post contains all of the information I was able to obtain from the MagicBand. There is no private information as you can see. I went ahead and obfuscated the two unique numbers and the manufacturing batch number since this is going on the internet; I probably don't...

    MagicBands Can Be Read By NFC Enabled Phones

    In the grand scheme of things, there's little to worry about. It would be silly to wear the band outside the park and isn't any less trackable than the other RFID tags being put into many other things. On a simple scan, only a few unique numbers can be read and they don't mean a whole lot...

    MagicBands Can Be Read By NFC Enabled Phones

    The MagicBand has a NXP Semiconductors MIFARE DESFire EV1 tag and appears to have 512 Bytes of storage. It was scanned with a SGS4 which has a Broadcom BCM20794 NFC chipset. None of the serial numbers on the band matched the info that I was able to obtain from the tag. It does have a couple of...

    Really why is everyone in such a hurry

    OP, sounds like Atlanta. 80 is the usual speed on the freeways and interstates I travel on. Granted that's up until it rains, then everyone has a conniption (except me :p). CSB time: Back a few years ago I was on I-285 heading home. A drop of rain hits my windshield and must have hit a car...

    Teacher gifts...please no coffee MUGS! (Ideas)

    If they like wine, bring them a bottle. Some may think this is inappropriate, but after a day with all of those "precious snowflakes" sometimes requires a couple of glasses. Just give it to them in person instead of your kid; you don't want your kid expelled because the powers that be...

    Is there such thing as a decent NON-smartphone on ATT?

    To add. If you're not finding anything that feels like it's going to last more than a couple of months, you may want to go the used route and swap the SIM card. Since she wants a messaging phone, you don't need the latest HSPA+42 radio in there for voice and text. Check it out first before...

    Satan is repairing transmissions in Burbank

    Totally wouldn't let him near my car. Someone needs to save that VW Thing from his evil clutches.

    Husband and wife trip

    Think of this as an investment in your marriage. I'd imagine that it'll be hard going without your kids, but you two do need a break. Don't let anyone bring you down because you're going to Disney and not bringing your kids. Disney can be just as enjoyable for adults as any other vacation spot...

    If You're a Doctor Who Fan

    New to the board so I thought you were talking about Star Trek. I'll have to remember that means Dear Son 9yo. Bit of a Whovian as well. I picked up this shirt recently from Woot: shirt.woot.com/offers/passenger Kinda feel odd wearing a glow in the dark shirt, but my baby girl loves it.

    Free Dining 2013

    We're going mid Oct. I'm hoping we'll end up with free dining. If we don't at least we were able to get our ADRs sorted.

    vw turbo gas question

    This being my first post on the boards, I can't post links. If you really want more information on a specific VW, I'd highly recommend checking out VW Vortex (forums.vwvortex.com). There are other forums out there, but "the 'tex" has the larges community and has specific forums for models and...
