    Malfunctioning cellphone or simcard?

    I took my Samsung Star to the Cell C shop this saturday as it has been malfunctioning more and more often, and was also not seeing my sim card sporadically. They tell me that it should take 2-3 weeks to get it seen to. The Samsung Star was also struggling to scroll between screens, and...

    Time for a speaker upgrade.

    My Altec Lansing VS2420s are no longer doing it for me. Are there any 2.0 or 2.1 speaker sets in the R500-R600 range [so that definitely rules out anything from BOSE :p] that you would recommend, given that they would be used for listening to classical music, and gaming. It would be a bonus if...

    Windows 7 on Compaq 610 cannot connect to DLink 2750U wireless network

    My mother's Dlink 2640U was damaged during a recent storm, so I bought her a Dlink 2750U to replace it. Unfortunately, although both my Kindle and my Nintendo 3DS can connect to the router wirelessly, her Compaq 610 laptop will not connect to the wireless network. I'm convinced that Windows can...

    Upgrading in the current economic climate

    So here's the thing: do I gamble on the exchange rate not improving and take some money out of my savings to pay for the rest of my upgrade now, or do I wait and see what happens? I still need to get a motherboard, CPU and RAM. Any economics gurus here?

    Online retailer ratings

    Following this thread Prophet suggested that we have one in which MyGamers can praise or lambaste online retailers. The idea is to get the word out on which online stores are most deserving of your hard earned cash, and which should be boycotted. [Is that too strong a word?] With any luck, we...

    Why do we buy gaming and tech magazines?

    Up until two months ago, it had been over a year since I last bought a copy of NAG or PC Format. I bought a copy of both recently, and having read through most of the content, it occurred to me that I had not learned anything that I could not have simply by following the odd gaming or...

    The Cinema Effect

    The purpose of this thread is not to give a critical review of the film I am about to use an example-OmegaFenix has already done a fine job of that in his thread.
