They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.

The beats are not good at all. They are good for style but if you actually want great sound quality look elsewhere.

Peace!

as far as sound goes a $50 pair of sony headphones sound equally as good. Same driver size, and better specs actually. The Dre phones fold up for travel, and have iDevice controls which the sonys don't have.

I just think the Dres are overpriced, but you pay for cool factor. I'm sure you'll love them

A good set of Sony's will last you a long time. Get the Sony model MDR-V6. It's the cheaper version, that is used by Studio's and DJ's world wide. The more expensive version just uses gold plated plugs. It has a flat sound, basically what goes in comes out. It can be had for 80 bucks brand new and the earpads can still be found on ebay. The drivers are the same for the past few decades. If you want something cheaper, look into the old school Koss. Radio shack carry's the Koss brand too. That Beats crap is just that. I got a headache listing too it after 10 minutes or so, when HP had them for demo at work. The Beats audio in the computers are very good, just the headphones suck.

I got an Ipad2 for Christmas but being with my parents, siblings, in-laws, nieces and nephews was priceless. This was the first time we spent the holiday dinner together since 2005 due to being stationed overseas. Everyone had a great time. I was stuffed!!!!

Got a real nice auto knife. It is a Benchmade Boguszewski Spike. Older knife, made in the 90s, discontinued already.

Also got some candy/chocolates. And a cool tiny shop vac so I can clean my work bench and work area off easily between projects.

And a few guns.

But hey, at least it's a car!

Also bought myself a new ASUS Radeon HD 6950 GPU, and overclocked it to 6970 specs...

Sounds like one of the best one so far!

My birthday being yesterday, my older brother gave me his old White MacBook..

Coming from a ~20lb, 5 minute-lasting-Sony-VAIO, I'm grateful!

Though, I won't lie, I'm wanting a MacBook Pro before I go to college!
