You can get this TV off Amazon for right around 2500 bucks. This thing is Amazing. I really like the Design. I am not sure if I am going to go with the 60 incher or not. I am thinking more of the 55 inch or 46 inch, but I guess if you have the room and the budget why not.
It has a 240Hz refresh rate, I wish it was a little higher, but with a TV this size it is tough to find anything higher. The display is full HD(1080p) and it is LED with Mirco Dimming Plus. This setup should give you a great gaming experience.
Another thing you might like is the internet ready setup. It has wireless capabilities and it is DLNA certified. This will make watching media from your computer / the internet really easy.
I am not sure if you have gotten into any 3D gaming yet, but this TV is 3D capable which adds a whole new level to the viewing experience as well as gaming. This feature will be nice to have as more and more products come out that are geared towards the 3D experience.
I know that there are a lot of options out there, but in my opinion, this is one of the better ones in this price range. It is defiantly worth checking out.

I know that is says entertainment laptop, but this laptop by ASUS is so much more. It has an Intel i7 CPU and 8GB of RAM. There is also a 750GB Hard Drive that runs at 7200 RPMs. All of this together makes this laptop very versatile and very powerful.
It has an awesome display and a ton of multimedia outputs which makes this a great laptop for sharing work as well as creating multimedia presentations. There is also a 2.0MP camera which is nice for staying in touch with home or if you do a lot of online meetings. The full keyboard is also a big plus, especially if you have to create a lot of reports or if you have to do a ton of data entry.
The overall design seems to be really good. ASUS always puts out a well built product and it weighs under 6lbs, which makes this a fairly mobile laptop.

This is a tough question because so much depends on where your child is at in their development. It would be hard to spend this kind of money if your kid likes to smash things, but if your child understands that computers are more than toys than I would consider the MacBook Pro.
The hardware specs are great, but that is not why I would choose the pro as a good laptop for kids. I would choose it because the mac operating system is so intuitive. It really is extremely easy to learn and I could see how a child could quickly grasp the navigation and operation of the user interface.
As far as the external design it does have a lot going for it. The keyboard is not water proof, but the overall build is very sturdy.
All and all I feel like this is the best way to spend the money if you think your child is ready to handle an adult laptop. Not only are the learning possibilities endless, you also know that this is something your child is going to grow into rather than grow out of.

I am in the market for a new gaming laptop as well. There are a lot of great products out there, but the one that I am most interested in is the Toshiba Qosmio. It is pricey, coming in at just under 1500 dollars, but from what I can find it will be well worth it.
It has an Intel-i7 processor that runs at 2.90GHz. This should handle most games without even having to overclock it. It has 6GB of DDR3 RAM and has the sockets to expand the RAM up too 8 GB. The display is a nice 17.3 inch screen that is LED backlit and has native 720p resolution. On top of a decent display it also has a great graphics setup. It has the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M. You can also switch between discrete and integrated graphics which will help your battery life.
The one thing that has me a little concerned is the battery life. I feel like you get what you get when it comes to battery life for gaming laptops, but it doesn't do me any good to buy a laptop if it has to be plugged in all the time. I don't think that the battery life is a deal breaker, because this laptop offers so much, but it is something to consider.

This is a good questions that has many answers. I would start with an Antivirus of some kind. I personally use norton, but I know there are other good products out there, so use what is best for you.
You should probably change your user passwords as well.
I am not sure how sure you are your computer has been Hacked, but the only way to be completely secure again is to do an operating system clean reinstall. You can backup your data and then just reinstall your operating systems. I know this is probably not the most desirable option, but it is the best one if you are sure you have been hacked. I hope this at least helps you get started.

In my personal opinion you should be fine with the 2.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7. I don't really think it is worth the extra money. When you put a microscope over it there is a difference, but I don't think it will be noticeable. As far as the 250GB of hard drive space goes you can always get an external Harddrive to keep your computer clutter free and running quickly. If you are doing all those different activities already than you probably have an external HD anyway. At the end of the day I think you will be better off putting 400 dollars towards something else.

I guess it is not a website, but if you are looking to buy music than I don't think there is anything better than iTunes. They might not have every artist you want, but they are adding more and more content constantly. Again this isn't free, but it is one of your best options if you are looking for quality.

I am going to recommend a Tankless water heater. Some of the more popular brands are Bradford, Rheem and Bosch.
This is a great resources:

I don't actually have mine installed yet, but I have heard good things about them. I can't imagine never running out of hot water. How great will that be...

I have been grinding my teeth on and off for years. I personally just use a simple mouth guard. They are fairly inexpensive and you can mold them to your teeth at home. It takes a little while to get use to sleeping with it, but once you do your jaw pain will go away. I found that I started getting a better night sleep once I became comfortable sleeping with a mouth guard. It seems like a pain, but it is worth it for the health of your teeth.

It is tough to say which company is the best, because there are so many variable that depends on you as an individual. RV insurance can get pretty complicated because you are basically combining auto insurance and homeowners insurance. I added a link that compares 5 of the more popular providers out there. I am not sure how much it will help, but it might be a good starting point.

I hate to be the guy that says both, but I think that is really the answer to your question. Yes these are both racing simulation games, but they are very different when it comes to content. I prefer rally racing so I am much more into Dirt 3 than I am FM4 but they both worth playing. At the end of the day I guess it just depends on what you are looking for...

I am not a professional chef, but I do enough cooking that I like to have quality utensils. This knife is one of the best I have had. I could never justify spending the money on a Wusthofs and Henckel. I feel like this knife easily competes with the higher end stuff. It is easy to sharpen and it stays sharp. All and all I don't think you will find a better product in this price range.

I am not sure what all you are planning to run off your server, but a NAS storage device might work for you. This is what I have:
http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-ReadyNAS-Diskless-De...
It was easy to setup and if you don't have any experience with server software this is more of a plug and play solution. It isn't quite that easy, but it is close. It is at least something to check out.

I have heard back to school season in 2012. With that being said it is probably already released to the developers. They are not saying much. I hope that means it is going to be good.

This is a good product from Sony. I wanted some that I could take outdoor pictures with and for the most part I am very pleased with the A390s performance. It is really easy to use and it has in camera image stabilization. The 14.2MP takes clean and very colorful pictures. The best part is that you almost don't have to mess with the settings at all. It is ready to use out of the box.

There are a lot of things I like about this NAS. I will start with the bad first though. The power cable can be touchy. I am not sure if it is the cord or the port, but it seems like it looses power if you move it. I fixed this by putting it somewhere that it won't be moved.
On the upside the transfer speed is good. There is no noise and there is little power draw. It is upgradeable and there are quite a few addons so you can customize it to your liking. I would have to say that I am happy overall and I would buy it again if I had too.

Just to add to what Max said I think your son would be able to handle a 3DS better. With that being said would you rather buy something that your son can grow out of or would you rather buy something that your son can grow into?
I think your best bet would be the 3DS because he will enjoy that and you can then upgrade to the new PSP rather than buy the one that is available now, which will be out of date very soon.

Yeah online back up is worth it. Actually this is just the beginning. Eventually everything will be ran off of servers somewhere else. You will essentially only use your computer as a way to access your programs rather than installing them on your local hard drive. It is going to really speed things up and it should make computers much cheaper, but you will also see a lot of new monthly charges. For example rather than buying microsoft office, you will pay 5 bucks a month to use it. It can be good or bad it just depends on how you look at it.

The answer to this question could be pages long, but it isn't as complicated as you would think. There is so much variety out there, that you need to figure out what features you want and then you can choose your motherboard. I would just start with the main stuff first. Pick a CPU and then you can choose the right socket etc. Once you have all that you need to pick a board. The good news is that there are really not any bad boards out there. Even the cheaper ones are solid. In short the motherboard is one of the last things you pick, even though it is probably the most important thing in your case.

This is what I used to decide:
http://sound-cards-review.toptenreviews.com/
I ended up going with the Asus Xonar D2X and I am really liking it. I watch movies and mix music on my computer so a good sound card was important to me. You won't believe the difference a good card makes even if you are just an average user.

This has always drove me crazy too. You can but it takes a little bit of effort. If you search for NCAA football 2012 rosters on eBay you will find that they are available there. Essentially people go through and edit the roster and then they can send them too you. I think it cost me like 99 cents or something.

There are a lot of great TVs out there, so if you find a good looking TV for the right price than you should go for it no matter what it is. If I had to choose one I would go with an LED TV that has a good refresh rate. They are brighter and use less energy.

This Micro DV Camcorder is worth checking out. I use it for multiple activities including, mountain biking, RC planes, and RC cars. It is easy to setup and even easier to use. The 2GB Micro SD Card records up to two hours of footage and it has a rechargeable battery. I wish the battery life was a little betteer, but it gets the job done. The audio could be better too, but at this price range I can't complain too much. For the price and quality I don't think you will find much better. I am not sure what you are looking to do, but I don't think you would be disappointed with this purchase. I know I would buy it all over again if I had too.

I have been a Zelda fan since the beginning. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword comes out on November 20th, 2011. I know there is not a lot out on it yet, but if you are any kind of fan than I don't see how we can be disappointed.
You can check out the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Zm1tLH1Oks

First off it is old news but Mac are more expensive. That is a big downside, because they are usually much more expensive than their counter part PC. On the other hand Apple has a lot to offer its user. The Mac operating system is very intuitive and they always find a way to make simple things easier.

If you really want the best and price is no issue than I think you would be very pleased with the i7. The only downside I can find is the price, but than again everything can always be cheaper. It has low power consumption, it can easily handle games that use all 8 cores and the performance is second to none. The only criticism I will make is that it runs a little loud for my liking. I went ahead and bought an after marker heat sync/fan that really helps. I really don't see how you can be disappointed with this purchase.

I like them both too, but I go in spurts. I will play RPGs for a week or two and then when I get tired of them I will play an FPS for a week or two. The only thing I don't like is when I go from an FPS to an RPG. it takes me a little while to slow down and adjust, which makes the RPG I am playing boring.

There is a lot of test out there you can do, but be careful that you don't get tricked into downloading a virus. I would use a good website like downloads.com or cnet.com to find what you are looking for. Just make sure that the site you are downloading from is legit. The are free trials and freeware out there, but I would recommend paying for a good one that you can continue to utilize all the time.

I have not found anything that actually dust proofs your computer, but there are some after market case fan filters that might make cleaning you computer faster. They seem to work pretty good, especially if you are in an exceptionally dusty environment. You can get one off amazon for around 3-5 bucks. It is cheap enough that it is worth a try.

If you like inFAMOUS, then you are going to love inFAMOUS 2. I was a little concerned that it would not live up to the first one, but I think it is even better than the first one. It takes multiple styles(FPS, Platformer, RPG) and rolls them into one. The story is entertaining and the game play second to none. This one is defiantly worth your time if you haven't played it already.

I think when it comes down to it an SSD is better if you can find one for the right price. In my opinion they are still a little pricey for the added advantages they give you. You can always buy a larger HDD and then wait for prices of SSD to come down. I think you will be fine with either choice. It is more important that you find one that fits your budget.

This might be a good place to start. I am running XP Pro and I have not had any problems. The physical installation was easy and I didn't have any problems with the drivers. I would consider this a great buy. I wish the speed was a little faster, but I wish that on all of my writable drives.

This is one of the best deals you are going to find. It is inexpensive and very compact. The best thing is that it is plug and play. It also works on both Mac and PC. The only thing I would change is a little bit longer cord. My PC tower is on the floor and it would be nice to be able to put the hub up on my desk. I guess I can always buy a USB extension cord. All and all I have bought two of these so far and I have every little to complain about.

I don't think FCPX is all that bad. I just think that people were expecting a lot more. I am not sure what exactly you are looking to edit, but I would consider this very good stepping stone software. If you are completely new to the game than this would be a good place to start and it does not force you to take a huge financial risk.

From a professional standpoint there are a lot of reasons for having dual monitors. It essentially doubles your workspace. For example I am a web developer and this allows me to do multiple things at once. I can do all my coding on one screen and then I can view it in a browser on another. This really speeds up the process rather than having to go through each window individually.

You can't go wrong with madden. It is safe to say that this game won't disappoint. The gameplay is always top notch and the graphic get better every year. It is amazing how realistic it is. I always find it funny when my girlfriend walks into the room and ask who is playing because she thinks it is actually a football game.

It sounds like you want to keep it simple, and this might be just what you are looking for. I wanted something that would make upgrading to windows 7 easier and so far I have very few complaints. This is an all in one PC so there is no tower and there are almost no wires. The the keyboard and the mouse are both wireless. The setup was ridiculously easy. One wire, all you have to do is plug it in. The screen is nice and large and it has very good image quality. It is a touch screen so that can be cool if you want to use it, but I usually just stick with the mouse and keyboard.
The only downside I have found so far is that it does not come with an HDMI input, you have to use an S-Video connection which is okay, but it is not High Def.
All and all this computer has a lot of features that you won't find on other computers in this price range. I am pretty happy that I decided to go with this one. I would buy it all over again if I had to.

I think one of the best things about iCloud will be data recovery. If you loose your iPhone all you have to do is register a new one and all your stuff will be restored. It not only stores music and movies it also stores contacts and calendar entries. This will be really nice because you can add a contact on your phone and it will automatically be uploaded to your computer so you have multiple ways to acces that information.
