FL00DY's Profile

I've come searching posts on retina MBP's. This was very interesting to come across. Maybe it's the power user in me, but the space estimates are far too low. The rMBP will be my first Apple, I'm only buying it because I'm about to do a 1 year Graphic Design diploma and I need to learn OSX at some point.

I think 256gb is fine for my needs. However around my desk and my house I have countless external HDD. I've lived with laptops as my main computers for 6-8 years, so naturally I've collected a lot of HDD. I also collect movies and tv shows so they take up massive amounts (blu-ray size movies are 10-13 GB). I have a few NAS's with 2-4TB each and they either full or 1/2 full.

I think it's rather pathetic of Apple to remove the upgrade options of RAM & HDD other than at purchase. I may be biased as a PC user, but I see it as blatant grab for money by scaring people into buying the bigger drive and the most RAM possible. I've upgraded all my laptops with RAM or HDD/SSD, Apple can do it because people will still buy it. I'll be ordering mine with the 16GB and 256GB, I wont enjoy buying this laptop but I dont have a lot of choice.

RUNEMISTRESS I think you'll find they've added more cable to make the outline ;)

The new Quad-core CPU is said to be 20% more efficient over the SGS2 so I think we'll be surprised at the battery. Samsung had also made a claim late 11, early 12 that their upcoming Smartphones would last 24 hours.

The S Beam will also utilise Wifi for larger files

I've only ever tried 8tracks and like it a lot. I might give some of the others a go. Surprised to see 8tracks hardly mentioned, it also now has an Android app available.

You forgot the aiaiai TMA1's. Sweeeet set of cans that I use for my drums and iPod for travel. They look cool to.

I purchased a Kenwood AV Receiver, bout $800. Thankfully it was on interest free. Used it for 1-2 months, moved stuff around, it's now been under my bed for 2 years. Will sell it soon.

Had my aiaiai TMA-1 for 2 weeks now, got them for use on my Roland HD-1 electric drum kit. Love them, nothing overboard, simple design.

hhmmm tempting, not sure my writing skills would be up to scratch, but I have wanted more Android content. How soon till you make decisions?

Why is that because you can tweak the android UI, it isn't considered "finished" by iOS people? If I dont want any widgets I dont use them. Often what I run on my phone is 3-4 different screens that I swipe between, my main screen as a very simple clock with weather and a simple set of switches such as wifi, BT, GPS or wifi hotspot. My other screens often have quick dials to best friends and family members and my SMS/emails.

I have 2 docks that I can swipe across also with 5 icons on each as well as swipe gesture up to open another app or bookmark ... this is how I hide my Facebook app from getting fraped by my friends. This dock means I dont need 100s of icons cluttering up my screen.

The point is, Android lets you do what you want to do, Apple tells you what you're going to do. Some of my non-tech friends have Android and I show them what they can do, sometimes they dont love it, sometimes they say oh wow thats cool. They arent given that option with iOS, and I'm talking about stock Android stuff.

I love it, but one problem. Keys will get chucked into bags, clicker will get snapped off and Ethernet keychain will fall out of the socket. Dont think I have many cables at home that arent missing the click part.
