    New iPad. Nice, but ...

    The heat issue seems to be more pronounced on the LTE versions from what I've read. That said, I have a Wifi model and did notice the bottom left corner getting annoyingly warm today while the screen was at full brightness in the middle of the day. Aside from that, I've used it for hours at...

    The "I'm getting my new iPad" gloating/tracking thread.

    So I realized why it is that the screen just felt weird initially even though it's very good. I'm used to the iPhone 4's screen, where the LCD is pretty much glued to the thinner glass. On that device, it feels like you're touching the pixels. With the thicker glass of the iPad and greater space...

    The "I'm getting my new iPad" gloating/tracking thread.

    I'll echo some of the sentiments here. The screen is REALLY nice, but it's definitely not as sharp as the iPhone 4's and you notice it. It's still a huge improvement over any other tablet and is the first one I find acceptable.

    The "I'm getting my new iPad" gloating/tracking thread.

    I live almost right next to the Fedex facility where mine was being loaded on the truck, unfortunately they don't usually hit my building before the afternoon. Good thing I'll be home today at least. Edit: huge amount of scalpers for this one on craigslist.

    Ipad 3 best deals/places to get it?

    I expect prices to go even higher after a bunch of disappointed people come back home on Friday from the back of the Apple Store lines. Not to mention that manufacturing yields on these high res displays seem to be lower than expected.

    Rumor: 7.85" 1024x768 iPad in Q3

    There is room in the market for a beefier Mac mini, with a desktop processor and / or a discrete GPU (like the 6750M on the 15in Macbook Pro). As Apple gets its feet deeper into gaming with iOS devices, I suspect they might start to feel internal and external pressure to release something like this.

    Advice on purchase: iMac vs Pro vs Air

    Oops. You're right. For the Air it's not even upgradable above 4GB at all it seems, not even on Apple's site.

    Parallels 7 & Windows 8-CP

    I tried it today. Turning off smart mouse was a must. I run it in windowed mode until I'm sure the mouse is working right then I switch to full screen if needed. If you don't have a cursor in windowed mode, try resizing the window, that fix has been working for me. Needless to say, I disabled...

    Advice on purchase: iMac vs Pro vs Air

    The screen is actually better on the 13" Air. The Pro is 1280x800 while the air is 1440x900. Personally I would avoid the SSD upgrade hassle with the Pro and just go with the 13" Air and lots of RAM (purchased separately, of course). The 11" is a non starter for me as the squished down 16:9...

    iPad 3 2048x1536 resolution!!!

    As someone who paid over $1500 for a X200s thinkpad when it first became available in 2008, and as someone who appreciates Apple products and practices with a ton of caveats, I feel compelled to comment on the ongoing pro/anti Apple silliness in this thread. My x200s didn't have a CD drive, and...

    iPad 3 2048x1536 resolution!!!

    Anyone thinking they might split the iPad into Pro / Regular lines? Asus is releasing a super high resolution version of the transformer prime this summer but it will be sold along side the normal one and be priced higher. I don't think Apple will do this, but I wouldn't write it off completely.

    iPad 3 2048x1536 resolution!!!

    The retina display will be pretty amazing for text and photos, I can't wait to check it out. I expect some games will probably opt to run at half resolution for performance reasons, but the pixels are so small that they will probably still look pretty good.

    So I am parting out my PC...

    What really got me personally was the type. You only truly realize what horrible things Windows does to fonts after you've used OSX for a bit. I know it's not that clear cut, and some fonts are better off corralled by cleartype. With OSX it seems that you see the font as the designers...
