    Looking at used macbook pro's

    For some light gaming it's fine. Played: Guild Wars 2 LoL Diablo 3 Divinity: Original Sin Starcraft 2 Random Steam games Sure it's like 2-3 steps back from my old gaming machine, but it gets the job done.

    Looking for more PSP games to play. Suggestions?

    If Jeanne D'arc didn't sit, Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics Ogre may not be your cup of tea, as it is essentially a watered down version of those two games, or maybe it is. I enjoyed all three but the latter two are just amazing games. Don't forget, you can get a bunch of PS1 games on your RPG...

    Thinking of leaving PC for Mac. Questions...

    you can use the Mini DP in the Thunderbolt slot, and your mouse should work just fine. I carried over my old Deathadder onto my current MBP and it works as intended as does my Nostromo (well, when I used it that is). You may need to download the mapping software or some such though from Razer.

    Just ordered an iPad Air

    I previously owned the iPad 2, and decided to get rid of it for the following reasons: 1. size 2. storage capacity The iPad 2 was just too...cumbersome for me though it was very pleasing in an aesthetic/tactile sense. It wasn't as portable as I would have liked and with the amount of comics...

    Looking at used macbook pro's

    Mid 2012 MBP is probably the last of the user upgradable ones, and can be had for a decent amount. I bought mine off the refurb store a couple years ago, but I think if you scour craigslist hard enough you'll find a deal. You can throw in an SSD in the main slot, buy an optical bay adapter...

    Installing W7x64 on 2010MBP... help?

    On my 2012 MBP, I added an SSD in the main bay and pulled out the optical drive to use for the HDD. Tried installing boot camp, and it just wouldn't go. It would hang part way through and just die when using an external USB superdrive. So, I threw the optical drive back in, and lo and behold it...

    Installing windows into an iMAC as a single boot

    I could be wrong since I haven't done it in a while, but I want to say that you can do that in OSX by going System > Preferences > Startup Disk > select Windows partition as your boot. From here, I think the only way he can re-select the OSX partition is if he holds down the option button...

    So far it looks similar, but the benefit to using iCloud Drive is probably greater for those heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem. Also, Airdrop is now ubiquitous!

    Apple Finally Confirms It's Buying Beats For $3B

    The Beats streaming app has human curation for track selection. While I haven't used it myself, apparently it i It is supposed to be decent and not as random as others. The streaming service is also partnered with AT&T at the moment in providing a deal for users, so I don't know how that plays...

    Apple Finally Confirms It's Buying Beats For $3B

    IIRC back in the day Beats were made by Monster. Now, a lot companies are trying to copy that Beats style. While the Beats aquihire includes the headphone brand, I think they wanted Iovine and Dre for their music/content connections. Plus, Beats has a streaming service right? That can also be...

    Please help: How can I use LTE for Internet while connected to Wi-Fi for storage?

    My suggestion would be iTunes match for her music, then it's freely accessible as long as you've got data. since I switched to it, the only time I download music is when I leave the country and I take the songs I want on my plane ride or whatever. Well worth the $27/yr IMO.

    Merging partitions

    Over the weekend, I deleted the old 10.8 recovery partition as I no longer needed it. My question is, if I merge the now empty partition with another partition on the same drive that has data, will it result in data loss?

    First time Macbook Pro owner

    I think the one I use the most is Alfred for super quick access to apps/web pages, and TotalFinder, which gives Finder Windows like tab control and folders on top.

    Retina iPad Mini

    I've had mine now for 4 days now, and have done extensive reading on it. So far so good. Battery life seems solid, just had it die on me from a full charge starting on Tuesday. I'm glad I waited last year for them to include Retina. I do find that upon pressing the home button, i hold on to it...

    Most effective MacBook upgrade

    I assume you are referring to the 2012 13" Classic MacBook Pro? This is likely the last of the user upgradeable MBPs. I own that exact model, and upgraded it to 16GB Ram, threw in an SSD, moved the HDD to the optical bay and took out the optical drive. It runs very nicely, granted the...

    Retina iPad Mini

    Ordered mine last night, 32GB WiFi Silver. Will be a nice upgrade over my old iPad 2 which had such limited storage. 32GB should be the bare minimum with any mobile device these days IMO.

    Favorite PS2 game?

    Metal Gear Solid 3. Though I really do need to go back and finish FFXII. Maybe if the FFX/FFX-2 Remake do well enough, they'll redo XII, in which case I will wait!

    well, 13" retina now starts at $1299! 15" have option for discrete graphics too. Considering these pricing options, I guess that's almost the final nail in the coffin for the old Classic MBPs.

    With mavericks, the second screen function is pretty great. My brother installed the GM of Mavericks on his 2013 13" Air, and put a movie on the tv via airplay while he went and did some work on his MBA. It seemed to work pretty flawlessly. Can't wait to upgrade to Mavericks!
