  1. Mine just updated today. On LTE currently. Haven't noticed anything unusual yet.
  2. The larger the screen the more reflections. Actually, pulled up the NYTimes on both and still text advantages with the rMBP. Doubt the screen has changed on the new MBA, so its screen still quite usable, but if you were doing lots of reading... like in college..
  3. In that case... cool.
  4. Went into Apple's new Palo Alto store today to compare rMBP and MBA screens. It's a testament to Apple's attention to detail that the structure seemed perfectly designed to allow as much light in and cast as many reflections as humanly possible. It's not exaggerating to say it was like being outside, with mirrors added. Look at the shadows in my shot below. The iPads for instance were aimed up at the glass ceiling. Sure it's better at night, but what were they thinking - it never gets sunny in Silicon Valley? Weird. Steve's ghost where are you?

  8. Your comparison are belong to BadAssHeadphones. Sennheiser HD700 and HD800 both are high end models and thus quite expensive. If you are confused while selecting one between the two, you need to analyze the different features of these headphones. Sennheiser HD800 is more costly but the audio quality is awesome. This post provides a detailed comparison between the HD 700 and HD 800...
  9. Suppose it depends on how you define bright. In my experience it's more treble emphasized and cringe worthy. If the production was like the prototype add me to the 'skip it' list.
  10. Damn, Apple is good at these kind of vids.
  11. Link had a typo (which may have kicked off the rating). Fixed. Sorry group. Mikey that green is really tempting.
  12. Thanks JP. If anyone missed out on the U-Turn table and regretting it: http://www.gettheorbit.com
  13. Who here is going to be the first to own an iPhone, iPad, MBA, MBP, iMac & MP? You know just in case.
  14. No, you East Coast city boy.
  15. True. I meant less the price (except on the drive side where it's often $100), than convenience - where is that adapter again??? Course on a static desktop system likely less an issue than a mobile situation. Still finding a FW800 to FW400 cable or Mini USB to micro adapter is surprisingly difficult where I work. They're here... somewhere... they just get 'borrowed' all the time. Harder to borrow a port. Course we've been through this before, so I guess it shouldn't be a surprise.
  16. Waiting on Amazon to burn some old GCs. Will also allow the head to cool. Thinking the absence of FW could be the larger shock. Not a mobile machine, so Apple adapters laying around maybe less an issue, but a ton of data moving back and forth on FW drives in those circles. Hopefully on the drive side GoFlex, etc. adapters will also decrease in price. ______________________ Also confuse your friends/co-workers with the Sea Lion wallpaper now.

    All the Zep talk and no mention of Dread Zeppelin? Sadly the dogs on the album are not present here. One year in the late 80s when I hated everything and working at a record store (hating seemed a requirement) Dreads album nicely pissed off lots of customers. Plant though loved them. But a taste... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZHWy6W00oM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNSSpXapks0
