For what it is worth, the CD thing was a genuinely bad strategic decision by Nintendo because it ultimately led to the behemoth that is Sony becoming competition. I don't blame Nintendo for not wanting to participate in the "hardware-as-loss-leader" game like what Sony/Microsoft are doing...

As I see it, the OP is already 60% there to convincing himself to plop his money on a Macbook Pro. The most fundamental question you should ask yourself is whether your budget can afford one. If most of your income goes to rent and other liabilities, you should stop yourself there. If that is...

Tubes introduce distortion - from what I have observed, in general, most people like the distortion largely because they like what it does to the mid-range, some others don't. And most headphones and earphones out on the market do not need amplification largely because there's sufficient power...

Apologies. I remembered the HD700 as going for around SGD 1200 at launch. Just did a check and it is now SGD 990. Huh... :o

If you love the T1, you might not like what the HD650 bring to the table since they are rather different - they are described as dark for a good reason. And to be honest, since you have the budget for the HD700, you might as well audition the HD800 and see if that suits you and save up that last...

The only problem I encountered using a mini-DP to DP cable to hook up my 24" was that it thought it was a TV and started using the non-RGB colorspace for it. Boy was it ugly. If you need it, you can google for the workaround for it via a Ruby script to generate a color profile which eliminates...

First of all, as others pointed out, the RAM is soldered on, so it is best to just bump it up now. My rMBP is actually my first personal one since the supremely heavy Toshiba one I had ten years ago but the it is noticeably better than other laptops that were assigned to me for work in terms...

Using a late 2013 rMPB now. Awesome stuff. Probably possible to downgrade to previous version but you are not dealing with the problem. You should be standardising your build process on a standard VM template first. And unless you are reliant on Apple's stuff (e.g. iOS, etc), you don't even...

I have to come to accept that manufacturers no longer build for lasting quality. This is after having products from Logitech - I RMA'ed a MX Revolution three times and eventually sold the fourth replacement - and Microsoft - the keyboard of the Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 7000 just died...

I'm running Avast! on my primary PC. Running MSE on an old laptop with XP. I like the latter's interface and small footprint, so I will probably be switching to it when it is officially launched as a free download. :)

Using Chrome from the dev channel. Very stable, and they finally fixed NTLM authentication so that I can used it behind the workplace proxy + firewall. I keep Firefox 3.5.3 on standby, since Chrome doesn't have extensions yet and some of the sites I visit have so many ads that they aren't...

Mine arrived just a few minutes ago. After setting it up, it appears to be very similar to my Dell 2007WFP, which is sitting side by side to it. I will probably explore the settings - as of now, I am using the Adobe sRGB mode. The colorspace seems to be a tad washed out. Wonder if Windows 7...

Its available here in Singapore, with an online price of S$1,052. The cash off is S$313, leaving it at S$739. Which is around US$513 and £314. From what I heard, its even cheaper in Hong Kong. I'm going down to their Dell Direct store in town to see if I can get a better deal. It will make a...

I just tried it out and it worked for me. It shows "DELL 2407WFP-HC" at the bottom.
