Again, is there anyway to get stations and not have cable or satalite in Grand Rapids, MI? My son is paying so much for cable that is unreal. Is there anything cheap in GR,MI for cable. He CANNOT HAVE SATALITE at his apartment.

I am currently working and living in Kuwait. I have just bought as Nokia N73 and use it via the MTC network. It works throughout the Middle East and I can phone home on it.

Now on Friday this week I am coming home to the UK. Question. Will this phone operate in the UK as long as I put my O2 sim card in it?

I have a Onkyo stereo receiver TX-8011 and Paradigm Atoms. Setup is okay but I'm not happy with the sound sometimes.
It is great with certain tracks but lacks clarity in others. I understand that Atoms are used as rear speakers in their home theater kits. Thats the mistake i did. It has very good bass and brings out more in vocals.

The music isn't very detailed. Treble is bright and little harsh when volume is cranked up beyond 40%. Drums and guitars sound good but it lacks that final details.

I just want a better pair of speakers for music.

Will Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 or the Polk RTi4 be better?

My dad has a 27" RCA Standard Definition CRT Television. He keeps leaving it on when he isn't watching it.Then, he complains about the energy bill.

I want to show my dad exactly how much money he would be saving just by turning it off.

I'm looking for answers that are informative, detailed, and relatively free of grammatical and spelling errors. Speed is always a plus.

If it's not too much to ask, I'd like to get a few answers before 11:00pm CST. I have a very busy schedule, and a full night's sleep is vital in my profession. Thanks in advance!

I'd like to at least consider other MP3 players outside of iPods, but I'm not familiar with them. I'd like at least 1 GB of memory space, compatibility with iTunes, and relatively small so I can use it while in the gym. Any advice?

I was wondering - if I plugged her nano into my computer, will it automatically delete her songs? Or is there a button to press to make sure that doesn't happen? What will happen?

Plus, she has a nano and I have a video. Will that affect anything in any way?

Thanks for answering - I'm iClueless. Lol.

I am debating on whether to get a PS3 or not. Yeah, I've heard the 360 has a better game variety, so don't tell me about the 360. So, for those WHO OWN a Playstation 3, do you regret getting it? what are the faults with it?
Thanks

There has to be something I'm missing -- I researched this camera SO diligently before purchasing it, but I am so afraid to take it to any event of which I want pictures! Every picture I take comes out so shaky and blurry -- is there an internal stabilizer setting that I'm missing? Every user review that I read expressed nothing but good things, and I am so dissatisfied.. What memo did I not receive?

I was able to transfer the pics, but they are too big to view.
Does it have something to do with the computer or the phone?
