Okay so Ive been here two weeks...
I need:
A TV $1500 budget - where to buy etc?
An iPhone 4S - what provider? Im thinking of Verizon...
Cable and internet - what provider? Verizon bios is in the apartments building so may have to go with that...
I got office space in Dumbo... Any good hangouts around there...Anything else you can recommend..?

I was looking at the 46 LED samsung... Is it a smart TV?
I was reading online people were having problems with dark patches on the screen!?!?- iunno i didn't want interactive/online shit on my tv. i use my ipad for that. haven't experienced any problems with it.doesnotexist
- itdoesnotexist
- dark patches are likely from some kind of "feature" that increases contrast... turn it off.monospaced
- i just purchased 2 samsungs, 1 LED and the other 3D-LED both are amazing!! sam-o price.them
- i use a samsung 40 lcd for my games and i abuse the fuck out of it and its still perfect. 5yrs oldthem

Newegg.com for TV- They are located in New Jersey and you can get it the next day right to your door. No cab ride or truck or whatevs.
Iphone- Up to you. But if you budle with Verizon it will definitely be cheaper
Internet - I have time Warner, not that great, i wish I was wired up for FIOS!

Buy it from a shop in NJ and have it shipped to NYC. No tax.
iPhone 4S -> ATT or Verizon because Verizon doesn't support higher speed but Verizon over all has better coverage.
Verizon Fios - get this and get the Verizon iphone as well. Save on bundle.

Re. Teh TVs - I think any Edgelit LCD's have splotch black problems. I got a 47 LG one the other day and its got it too. Bit of a pain. There's a new Plasma out that I think could be better (got Smart aps and stuff but all a bit shit save for Netflix)
- plasmas are more likely to leave burn-ins! right?doesnotexist
- i always wonder about that myself, never owned a plasma.. always projection or LCD ..them

i have a sony wega 60" projection tv that i am tossing.. the lightbulb just burnt out 2 weeks ago, and we replaced the tv with a 3D samsung instead of just getting a bulb which is only [$150]
if you want.. you can have the tv free.. you just have to pick it up.
this is the set.. http://www.amazon.com/Sony-KF-60…
otherwise i have to contact my sanitation company to have someone pick it up to be recycled..all it would cost you is the bulb.. the tv is HD and motherfucking huge!!!
im about 45 minutes out of nyc. let me know.
- the bulbs last about 4 years again i dont think you will ever see an offer of FREE again..sothem
- oh yeh apparent we dont have the remote anymore.. just last week we did a clean up.. andthem
- we donated 3 other sony tvs that we werent using.. these other ones were larger than 60them
- anyway in the confusion all the sony remotes were packaged along with the one im offer you.them
- remotes today though all run thru universal or the cable remote controls all..them
- you can replace it thru sony directly im sure if you want..them
- so whats up? you down for a free 60" HD Sony WEGA?? with the dual speakers its giant!them
- its about 15" in the width.. 6+ feet wide and about 4 feet tall..them
- or actually the specs are listed on the amazon link. oi.them
- actually the deal is a giant bag of weed for the tv.. hehe.. my bday is friday so hook me up!!them
- damn thats a deal. i'll rent a zip car and head out!instrmntl
- you want it/?e-pill
- you will need a rather large car or a truck to carry it..e-pill

in terms of hangouts in DUMBO. is ZAKKA a japanese bookstore/ giant robot toy shop. they specialize in graphic books targeted at designers.
here is the contact from their website..
http://www.zakkacorp.com/Zakka_A…check out the site.. goto the store.. the books they have are usually the only copies they will ever have.. or in any other shop for that matter.. so if you see something you better grab it because it will be gone in seconds..
there is a few other skate/ sneaker/ record/ dj shops around the block over there.. you can see DUMBO in a few minutes, it is rather small in size.. so finding a good hangout can easily be found..
welcome to nyc.

free tv bump.. the offer still is available.. also to anyone who wants it..
since my bday is tomorrow.. the offer only stands if you get me an once of super quality weed, or else im tossing this tv and no one gets it for FREE.
- once = ounce ..
27.5 grams.. quality weed.e-pill - an ounce is like $550 of quality or higher.. imagine getting a 60 HD tv for tht price..e-pill
- nylon.. take my tv.. its huge.. larger than you ever imagined to ever own..e-pill
- give me my ounce and move the tv yourself and make $1000 on it yourself and make back $e-pill
- hehehehe.. or else its getting tossed. imagine that free tv you never got b/c it got recycled..e-pill
- b/c u never bought that other nter his ounce of weed 4 his bday it would suck QBN's ass!!e-pill
- plus it is half the price you were willing to spend, so now you can find a chick and dine her..e-pill
- imagine find a hot latina nyc chick to spend that on.. your mind will be physically blown!!e-pill
- again it is a small fee to live in nyc while posting on QBN..e-pill
- pay up or expect daily wedgies on the train by random NYC locals who dont take to no pay!e-pill
- once = ounce ..
- e-pill0
juss sayin you come to nyc n think we wouldnt hustle you.. haha
pay up!!! its a small fee.. to live here.
- e-pill0
you really have no choice here.. a $2000+ tv free for the small price of a quality ounce.. i can supply you with the delivery numbers.. but they will be around $950 per ounce.. so now you got your choices... make it or else recycled plastic and mother boards are going to the trash bin..
if only you got that tv... your nyc stay would be glorious.. imagine all the KAREOKE parties you can have.. even JSK would show up..
that alone is like the worst present ever.. so imagine a life with that or else
go spend your
$1500 on what ever.. im giving you the chance to take it.. for less than half..
its not every day i turn 32..
it should be a QBN day when i turn 32... or else im tossing a 60" HD TV in the garbage.

There's a Cosco in Brooklyn. Seems like a good place for a tv.
