How does this work, exactly? Sure, you can attempt to store an ISO of the game disc, but the 360 won't play burned games without modified firmware (which will get you banned from XBL if you take the machine online). I'm sure the PS3 has similar protection.

"Don't use a flash. If you're shooting during magic hour, the sun will take care of everything."

This assumes that your office spaces gets sufficient (and flattering) natural light in the early morning or late evening. This won't necessarily hold true if you've got trees, hills, or other buildings outside your window. That said, there's almost always some point during the day where you've got the best natural light ... use your judgement, and shoot during that time.

I also disagree with not using a flash. I wouldn't use a pop-up flash, but if you've got a hotshoe flash, a little bounced/diffused light can go a long way to fill in what might otherwise be overly dark corners or harsh shadows.

Also, the top article photo looks like it has a remote flash on a stand behind the model. :)

$200+ headphones for a teen ... to listen to what, their ipod? Right.

"If you absolutely need to finance your gear, you'll get a way better rate putting it on a credit card."

If you had decent/available credit you probably wouldn't be looking at rent-to-own options...

Sleepy Time (Android, $1.50) deserves a shoutout here. Tons of sound options besides White Noise, and you can mix them together, too!
