Cameras are almost disposable commodities these days, but with most upwards of $200, I can't afford to continue destroying & losing them! With that in mind, I set out to find the best digital cameras under a hundred bucks Everyone's idea of what makes the "best" camera is different. Some folks value ultra-portability over picture quality. Others may prefer a camera that is simple to use over one that is jam-packed with features. I took this into consideration when evaluating digital cameras that cost less than $100, and established five (5) "best-of" categories. The categories are: The Cheapest, The Most Rugged, The Simplest, The Best Photo Quality, and The Easiest to Fit in Your Pocket.

Most drinkers have experienced the dreaded hangover at some point in their lives. The nausea, pounding headaches, exhaustion, body ache, and sensitivity to lights and sounds is certainly no walk in the park. Yet drinkers invariably return to the sauce within days or weeks even after the most brutal hangovers. Do we drink to excess because it's human nature to want to alter your consciousness? Or is it because of pure stupidity? Well, it's probably a little bit of both - but if we demonstrate a little bit of intelligence and planning this Holiday weekend, we will all be able to party without the nasty side effects the next morning.

Most of people do not live in mansions with dedicated home theater rooms. Nope, the majority of us spend our days and nights hunkered down in smaller spaces. And for urbanites and university students, "smaller spaces" translates into "shoe-box size." University students and city dwellers in particular are often confied to dorm sized studios, or 1 and sometimes 2 bedroom apartments. If you fit that description, I am quite certain that you probably view television shows and movies in your living room, or maybe even in your bedroom.

If you're like most dudes, buying a gift for your girlfriend, for any occasion, can be a challenging task. You may know your girl pretty well, but figuring out a suitable gift that fits her tastes, style, and interests can still be daunting. The key to giving a great gift begins with what should be obvious to most, and that is simply thinking about the type of things she likes.

The topic of hair loss is something that is close to my heart, because as a 40-something year old man, I am beginning to experience male pattern baldness. As the oldest, and baldest member of the Dude Rated gang, I thought I’d take a break from my regular reviews, and focus for a moment on something that is on the minds of my follicly challenged brethren; going bald and what to do about it.

Generally, the two-day rule is a good rule of thumb for maintaining the position that you don't wreak of desperation. (Even though you and I both know you stink of it - I can smell you from here!) This is because quite frankly, Franky, the time that you wait before calling a woman depends on the circumstances. Let's break this down in to some hypothetical situations...

Signing a lease contract on a car is a little like getting hitched to that hot stripper in Vegas you met during a wild night with the lads. Hell, maybe your new blushing bride turns out to be the most amazing ride of your life. But what if that excitement wears off, and you're ready for something else, or just want to quickly undo what you've done?

The Teva Agate Thong made the DudeRated.com list of summer shoes because it is one of the most comfortable set of flips you can get for under $75. The comfort is most noticeable at the heel, which seems to mold to the foot, giving the sensation that is similar to the Nike Shox system featured in Nike sneakers. The rest of the foot support features an anatomically-shaped, molded EVA footbed, with an encapsulated shock pad for enhanced comfort.
