About me - William Bartholomew

Entertainment > Movies (Other) Is it better to watch movies in theaters or DVDs at home?: 10 of 87

My preferred answer would be both but in the case that I must choose, I would have to side with home. For me I do enjoy seeing an action flick on the big screen. The special effects when viewed at the theater are more spectacular. That being said, there are a lot of drawbacks to going to the movie theater that cause me to be...

Celebrations & Holidays > Special Occasion Gifts Is it insulting to give birthday gifts that make fun of a person's age?: 2 of 8

While I am going to write my opinion in the Yes side of the equation I do not believe that either yes or no is the correct answer to this question. The answer to this question cannot simply be a yes or a no answer because the answer will vary depending on the individual receiving the gift and / or the individual giving the g...
Computers & Technology > Car Electronics Is a lot of bass in a car stereo system good or bad?: 1 of 4

Yes, having a lot of bass in a car stereo (or home stereo for that matter) is a good thing. If you would like to enjoy music that incorporates bass then you are missing part of the song if you do not have a lot of bass in your system. There are plenty of people who think that only rap music has bass but when you actually hav...

However, after shelling out a couple hundred dollars or more you are not to thrilled about dishing out even more cash to get some videos (aka Vids).

Hobbies & Games > Video Game Consoles & Accessories Which is the better video game platform: Console or PC?: 10 of 29

Until the Playstation 3 and X-Box 360 came along I don't think there was anything to debate. That's why I had not purchased a console since the original Playstation (even then I didn't use it much). Now the computer has some serious competition and is possibly about to take a back seat to the consoles. From my perspective th...
Computers & Technology > Internet (Other) Is Internet shopping safe?: 6 of 14

In a word "YES". Let's not forget the problems that go along with shopping in an actual store-front. There's the potential of long lines, traffic, no parking space, getting mugged, spending additional money on food & drink, still being just as exposed to fraud if using a credit card. Really most of the hype over Internet fra...

First my disclaimer, I have no education in finances and my advice is meant to be used to help you tailor your own plan. That being said, my personal budgeting style has worked well for me and similar techniques have worked fairly well in my business also.

Hobbies & Games > Video Game Reviews Video game reviews: PAIN (PS3): 1 of 1

Before you decide to buy PAIN you must first be sure that you have a bit of a twisted sense of humor. If you meet that qualification then you should enjoy this game and get more than your moneys worth. The basic idea of PAIN is you launch your character from a human sized slingshot type device. This device can be aimed and y...
