Yahoo! Answers - Home Pinterest Tested: Tub Cleaner Wow! When I wrote this post, I had no idea that it would go viral. It is by far my post popular post! It has been awesome to share this fantastic cleaner with so many new friends! If you like this post, check my sidebars so you can receive the latest Pinterest Tests by email, RSS feed or on Facebook. Today I am testing this PIN: THE TEST: The claim in this Pin is that you can spray on a solution of one part vinegar and one part dish soap, leave it for an hour, then wipe your tub clean. I am skeptical of Pinterest posts like this because the claims are so fantastic. So I mixed up a solution of one part Dawn dish soap and one part vinegar, sprayed it on half my tub (so I could compare the two sides for more clear results). Score! And no scrubbing! THE RESULTS: This is one Pin I feel I can recommend whole-heartedly. P.S. Update: I tried using a different kind of dish soap and it still worked, just not as well.

In living color: Ars reviews the hacker-approved Philips Hue LEDs Philips LED-powered Hue lights are awesome. Even after a couple of weeks of almost non-stop fiddling, the programmable multicolored bulbs continue to surprise me, though probably not in the ways that Philips originally intended. It's taken an alarmingly short amount of time for me to grow to consider them an indispensable component of my home office. I'm even starting to incorporate them around the rest of the house too. The kit The fancy wirelessly controlled devices launched just before Halloween this year and are currently sold only at Apple Stores. The starter kit, pictured above, features a picture of a Hue bulb on the front backed by a color wheel, which you can slide around to make the bulb change colors. Inside the starter kit are three Hue bulbs, the wireless bridge that runs them, an AC power adapter, and a short length of cat 5 cable for connecting the bridge to a network switch. The hookup Setting up the kit was easy. The app only works via Wi-Fi with your LAN by default.

How to Build a Powerful Home Theater PC for Less Than $500 A few years ago, I built an enormous home theater PC that cost about $1200. Because it's on most of the time, it runs too hot, and the fans trying to cool it down are loud, which makes the whole thing sound like a jet engine. My new HTPC, built around Nvidia ION graphics, is outperforming my old PC and has been shrunk down to the size of a cigar box. If you don't want to build your own computer, start with either a bare-bones (preassembled) PC like the ASRock ION 330. But if you're a real DIYer, start with separate components, tailoring the PC however you want. Heres a shopping list: case, motherboard, RAM, wireless remote, Windows OS and a hard drive. The process begins with the motherboard and case. Place the Zotac motherboard into the case using the four supplied screws. Snap in some RAM. I added a Kingston 128 GB SSD hard drive for speed. Connect the wires (all three!) The rest of the time is spent installing Windows 7 and configuring some applications.
