for serious gaming they can go with consoles...better than going with PC anyways, since with gaming those gets obsolete a lot faster. If you don't need to do gaming on PC, you can change the PC once every 5 years. But if you do, you'd have

Hondas are pretty safe, when I totaled my Acura I didn't even feel the impact, when I got out I was pissed thinking I now had a dent in my front bumper...only to find out that the whole front end was destroyed

you need a bit more criteria. if you want performance, an EVO will work well or an STI wagon if you want a bit more luxury G37/Acura TL/TSX if you want the badge, BMW 328i or C300 based on the Civic SI being your old car, the STI wagon woul

personally I find that domains are severely undervalued for what they are. I mean think about it...once you own a domain, you have a monopoly on it. You can charge whatever you want...and if someone wants it, they have no choice but to go t

stuff like this is exactly why captchas are outdated...they don't stop the real spammers, and just annoy your users. With most captchas I have to try 3-4 times before I can actually spell out what the image is showing. The only exception is

Once you take into account that Facebook traffic tends to start out at ~$1 a click and the fact that the people clicking it are just browsing(instead of searching like they do on Google)...you'll realize that Facebook traffic is the most e

the best way is to find an industry where people are already making a ton of money, and carving a piece of that. Inventing the wheel is a recipe for disaster...because not only do you have to convince them to buy from you...but you also nee

Top Gear is the #1 car show in the world...so there has to be a segment that would be interested in a Tesla. Sure it's electric, but it's still a sports car of sorts.
