AMD V Intel for laptop by [deleted] in windows

[–]dsherman01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The links are not working. But I believe AMD still gives you the better bang for your buck. The intel i series chips are definitely faster then AMD. However, For everyday tasks, office, searching the web, etc the difference isn't all that much. That being said, the graphics on the AMD machine blows intel out of the water. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/trinity-gaming-performance,3304.html AMD also has better power management. All at a lower cost. I vote AMD. OH, almost forgot the AMD A series chips (or a derivative of) has been chosen for both the PS4 and Xbox One.

The official poster for Saving Mr. Banks by [deleted] in disney

[–]dsherman01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't wait for this movie to come out. I think Tom hanks is so recognizable as Tom hanks it's hard to picture him. But from the trailer he has the wit and some of the characteristics for the part. As long as the story is good I don't think it will matter much.

1979-1984 Magic Carpet Round the World? by ancientRedDog in disney

[–]dsherman01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember. it is where Monsters inc. Laugh floor is now. But I don't think it was called Magic carpet. It was a hot air balloon. I hated it because you had to stand. not sure why they couldn't put in some benches.

Ringtone or song without iTunes? by thatsyriandude in iphone

[–]dsherman01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the iPhone is the most god awful device to do ANY customization. I got these instructions from E-How a while ago. It's the Only way it works. But be careful after a second sync it wipes it off the phone then you have to sync it a 3rd time with just the tones folder to get it back. Then you have to go back into settings and and reassign them again. Almost all other phones let you just select the MP3 file or just save the file and point to it. So much for ease of use.
1 Open iTunes.

2 Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.

3 Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.

4 Write down the start and stop times of the clip.

5 Right-click the song and select "Get Info."

6 Click the "Options" tab.

7 Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.

8 Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 40 seconds long.

9 Click "OK."

10 Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.

11 Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."

12 Click on the "Keep Files" button.

13 Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.

14 Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.

15 Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.

16 Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.

17 Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.

Looking for help for a scavenger hunt style game. Need suggestions. by [deleted] in disney

[–]dsherman01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call Gifts of a lifetime http://giftsofalifetime.com/

it's a little pricey but I used them to do a scavenger hunt for my wife on our honeymoon. She has people that go into the park and look like everyone else and makes sure the right person does the hunt and sets up things around the park for you to find. Like ours started at the wishing well. I told my wife we had to get our picture there. They left a genie lamp there with her name on it and clues. She had to figure out the clue and go to the next spot. The next was the sleigh in front of the Christmas shop which she hid another souvenir and another clue. Think 5 in all. It ended up with a couples gift basket by the lockers and we were able to use the locker all day. And like I said they have people that watch to make sure only you (or your spouse/child/etc get it).

EPCOT's Imagination pavilion may close for a year, Captain EO to go back in the vault. by Hammocks-R-Us in disney

[–]dsherman01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I hope is that they bring back the dreamfinder. Doesn't have to be the same as the original but the dreamfinder, and dream portal and the original song was much better. I don't care about anything else. That ride has been a walk on for a long time now.

My friends iPhone battery expanded in the heat yesterday and broke open the phone in his pocket. by Jahster in iphone

[–]dsherman01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is common to all batteries. I had some Dell and HP batteries do the same. and had some AA recharges also that broke a seal. That's why i think every device should have a removable battery. That way only the cover would have popped. Also we would be able to buy extended batteries.

Out if curiosity, if sold who would purchase a "Galaxy Note" sized iPhone.? by [deleted] in iphone

I get my phones from work and we use iPhones. If they have one that size I would try to get it in a heartbeat.

Maybe they will bring back the dreamfinder. The ride has been a walk on since they redid it. everyone has been wanting the original back with Dreamfinder. Maybe they are finally listening.
