I can't answer most of your questions as I have no real experience, but I suspect Google has some long-term goals where the OS will be around (only official comment is that it may merge with Android at some point in the future). Apps can be written to usable offline, but some are not. Click below for a little info on Cloud Printing. http://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/howitworks.html

Both, but usually only from iPhone for awhile now. I like to pack light and getting harder to justify carrying an amp or risk losing JH13s when traveling. Just one thing, the mic has no real noise cancellation, so not the best in wind, noisy cars, etc.

I was just going to suggest the $249 Samsung Chromebook too. Don't know the Sims options there though. http://m.tuaw.com/2012/11/23/tuaw-smackdown-google-chromebook-vs-apple-ipad-macbook-air/

Congrats. Many times on trips with the Ety HF2s I've wondered why I didn't just stop/downgrade to them. Great bang for buck with the mic.

A few small sales over at the Apple store. http://store.apple.com/us

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Not my favorite Thanksgiving - I'm home alone with the flu (thus missing my daughters first Thanksgiving) with a cat recovering from a difficult surgery two days ago, but the year I have the most to be thankful for - a great GF, that wonderful daughter, and of course a cat that seems to be bouncing back sans penis and all. And every year on Thanksgiving I think of the linked photos on the first page of this thread and how time changes most things.

Anyone read Sex Motorcycle? http://m.gawker.com/5962793/sex-motorcycle-by-horny-man-travis-is-this-years-perfect-stocking-stuffer

I've never seen this combo before, but it's a WMA/MP4 'Microsoft version 2' wrapped in a MOV. Could play in QT7. Could not in QTX.

Velvets vinyl deal over at PopMarket. Bought recently. Pretty good.

Happy Birthday JP. We're all Numbs People!

Due to display structure of iOS, if the mini kept the 4:3 ratio it likely was going to be 1024x768 or 2048x1536. Or lets say they pulled off 1536x1152 compromise (and break the pixel doubling history). I could see the displays not ready yet and being available in six months, but if that's not the reason, I think its less likely most other explanations changing so quickly, no? Where Apple pulls the necessary display, graphic processor and battery components together while not increasing weight, size or price or decreasing bat life or those Apple margins (something Google and Amazon aren't worrying about) between now and April. Sure hope to be wrong, but even Apple magic has its limits. Would love Retina on everything and sure we'll get there, but the MBA Retina hopes in the press over the last year haven't been realized either.

Do you think that six month rush was because of what (battery tech, parts availability, desired price or weight, new upgrade cycles, etc?). Knowing the planned pixels required, I wonder if expectations of Retina MBAs and iPad minis may be a bit aggressive.

The Home Theater Magazine Top Picks iPad app is currently free. http://www.tuaw.com/...-this-ipad-app/ Same for City Maps 2Go for iPhone or iPod touch http://dealmac.com/City-Maps-2-Go-for-iPhone-or-iPod-touch-for-free/636170.html

If it helps Torp, here's a single Z component next to a full rack Parasound transport (wood also by The Master). They're nice little (heavy) things.

Zingers by Dolly Madison? Same here, but guess who owns Dolly Madison?

Could this be heaven?

+1 for Timex Sinclair reference.

Oh damn, that looks great. Love the handle addition. Also good to know about the house sound. Thanks for the update. BTW, how do you like the pre? Also nice having four headphone jacks?

Now a little Dylan and The Band...

Tripling the CEOs pay from $750,000 to $2,550,000, probably didn't help either. http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/11/16/1203151/why-unions-dont-shoulder-the-blame-for-hostesss-downfall/?mobile=wp

Stones | Some Girls: Live in Texas '78 | vinyl Damn, there must be some primal connection between The Stones an even ten month old girls. Esmé's dancing muscles fully engaged.
