Cheers Jeff!

I don't think you'd need hi rez, it's not a really complicated design

There's a refurb macbook for $400 listed on dealmac.com right now

I'd bet you could just make adjustments, and maybe a stem to make that bike fit

happy turkey day

I know what that picture means: FUCKING OUCH

happy birthday John!

So what I meant was that android and windows tablets still suck. Windows 8 is what is shipping on the new microsoft tablets, and I believe that's what drove the release of the ipad 4 when it came out. As to the factor of the price of the phone vs the cost of service, the cost of service is the same no matter who's phone you have, and the cost of the phone is a one time cost. If the difference between $50 and $300 isn't relevant to you, that's great, but it's relevant to a lot of people.

what jim said. The current upgrade was to switch to the 2nd connector they've ever used. When they did it, they upgraded to the new cpu. Turns out they could have just upgraded connectors because their competitors still suck, but they pushed the cycle and upgraded cpus anyway.

Apple thinks more about obsolescence than any of their competitors. Hell, they're already advertising $50 galaxy S3s. There isn't, and won't be, a used market for android devices. There isn't, and won't be, a market for used windows portable devices. There is, and will continue to be, a market for used IOS devices. That's because apple actively slows down the product life cycle. Changing the connector forced their hand, so they upgraded to match the specs of the new devices. Turns out they probably coulda waited, because windows 8 is terrible.

personally, I'd go mba

that and "don't give a shit" compared to other companies upgrade cycles is a bit nuts. Apple tends to upgrade slower. Sometimes the market forces their hand.

Yes it does, it'd go perfect with my étouffée tonight, can you get it here in time?

I'm cooking crawfish ètouffèe for 16 tonight. Made the roux last night, just bought the peppers, celery, and onions and the sourdough and French baguettes.

I assumed your cougar bought it for you

Sure, it's a big business that stopped changing with the market. The upshot of not adapting is dying. I think it's reasonable that they die/contract HUGELY at this point. The world doesn't need hostess at the scale it once seemed to.

They were the union, so they lost their jobs because THEY wouldn't compromise. And the product's been around a lot longer than any of them have had their jobs.

I used to eat zingers when I worked 3rd shift. I can't say I miss them, but I did eat a ton of them. I haven't in 15+ years tho.

Walmart was completely sold out here (my kids wanted to try em, because of the news). They got the little debbie equivalent instead, and proclaimed them "nasty".
