More fail from Microsoft. They've sunk well north of $30 billion now into their Entertainment division - most of that into the three models of XBoxes - and after years of losing money or just breaking even they're finally making a billion a year or so off of this massive money pit.

That looks like an IKEA Lack shelf. If you bolt it to the studs in the wall - assuming you have wooden studs - it'll support tons of weight. Ross Knight's $76 DIY Bar Stool Workstation DeskTops |

What a heinous little corner. Since you're gonna demolish it anyhow at some point, I say paint it at least (simplest, cheapest option). With the radiator right in the way though it seems like the space is too tight for that to be used as a seat of any kind. Maybe fashion some kind of painted, wooden top and place a large table lamp there? Or place a large vase on the top and hang a lamp from the ceiling down into the corner.

I've been using CFLs for over a decade now - mostly cheap ones from IKEA at that - and I've never had any of the problems others report with color temperature or short lifespans. Last week I just replaced the first CFL to die since I moved to this apartment 4 years(!) ago. Is the $10 LED Light Bulb Affordable Enough For You to Turn On the Switch? |

Using a lossless format like FLAC or ALAC has another advantage - they support robust, standardized metadata (title, album, composer, track #, etc.). Uncompressed formats like WAV are much older, and any "standards" regarding metadata are not well-supported across a broad range of rippers, playback software or devices.

I looked into getting one of these, but couldn't really afford to give up any counter space. So I got an 18" portable model instead. Takes up a bit of space in the kitchen, but it gives you another work surface, too. It's a Danby. Does an incredible job washing dishes, considering the price, though the standard cycle does take F-O-R-E-V-E-R. Countertop Dishwashers Renters Solutions |

The value of used pianos is plummeting - older piano owners are dying off and younger people seldom buy them anymore. Why don't you look into purchasing (or rescuing - many pianos are just being dumped) a good used piano? You probably won't pay a lot of money for it, and you won't have to worry so much about having a "perfect" location for it in your home. Must Pianos Be Placed on Interior Walls? Good Questions |

After decades of dealing with these damn things - and having ripped every disc to the computer already - I finally gave up trying to store hundreds of discs and their jewel cases. I bought binders, ripped them out of their jewel cases and filed them all. I kept all the inserts in little file drawers but ditched all the plastic (apart from a few unique cases).

I'm sorta confused as to why *Apartment* Therapy keeps including more and more content that's not really applicable to most renters. There are already a slew of websites dealing with renovation - something homeowners are far more likely to engage in than renters... Renovation Inspiration: Projects, Ideas & Resources |

No way on earth are these things worth $400. You can get better for $120, like Audio-Technica ATH-M50's. They aren't ridiculously bass-heavy either, although I think they're capable of deeper and certainly more accurate bass. Beats by Dre Pro Headphones |
