Anyone have a FitBit Flex? I bought one today and would like to ask some questions with someone who's used it.

Wife and I both use a flex

Nice! I'm liking it so far, just wondered if you've noticed any difference in the stats based on the arm you wear it on? It says to wear it on the wrist of your non-dominant hand. But I'm ambidextrous so I'm not sure which to choose. So far, I've worn it on my non-mouse hand just because it's easier. But that is the hand I usually write with. It probably doesn't matter all that much, right? What have you found?

[whodean]

There is a setting in the software (iOS version anyway) to designate which arm you are wearing it on, I'm not sure how being ambidextrous affects it though

Wow you might have seen the same thing I saw. I "discovered" FitBit last week on Amazon haha. One of my frat brothers was talking about it last year but I hardly paid attention lol.

I want something like a FitBit because I'm a calorie counting freak... but I need to save up for a new phone (Moto X, iPhone 5s, LG G2, HTC One, or Samsung 4s) and the Xbox One or PS4... hard while only working part time in college haha...

I've done a lot of reading about phones during the last two weeks, seems like the Samsung 4S still might be the best phone on the market after September's releases. (at least for people that have Sprint)
So again, I have Sprint, I can't get the Moto X customization like AT&T. If I can't customize a Moto X, why get it? The specs aren't good as well... though I've read it supposedly runs well. I can't get a Droid Maxx, that is only available to Verizon customers.
The specs on the LG G2 sound AMAZING. That is a phone I will have to consider. The iPhone 5S is going to be revealed on Sep 10th, so I'm looking forward to that info.
Ultimately, I'm looking forward to my first "true smartphone" since owning the first HTC Evo 3 years ago! I wish I didn't break it haha. My current phone is the Nexus S 4G and it is awful haha!

I feel like I'm the "first world problems guy" haha http://thechive.files.wordpress.com/...pg?w=500&h=500

Laptop crashed tonite with the IRS $100 virus. Any help?

[Coop]

that would be moneypak

[Coop]

yes can help. boot the laptop in safe mode with networking, download malwarebytes, update it, let it scan and cross your fingers.

[Tony G]

The new version of the virus doesn't let you get to safe mode

[Coop]

safe mode with networking has worked for me trying to clean this...

Note 3 released in early October. Only got the 2 in April ... upgrade already? It's possible., the 2 is fantastic.

[Sharkbait]

I can't get into safe mode, I said IRS, it's FBI, but if I could get into the safe mode, I am sure I could track it down. According to the geeks I have talked to, there is no maleware effective against this virus.

after the bios screen and before windows loads start tapping F8 Shark...do you get an options screen ?
