    Tru dat...not many viruses out there for macs. If I ever I want to access a questionable site, I always do it on the mac.
  2. The silver one had shitty battery life IMO - hence the battery pack. I've been thinking of picking up a black but It'll be several months before I have the cause to use it so I'll wait a bit
  3. What are the issues? I haven't heard of any.

    For those that don't like the theme...change the background. All of the new Apple themes are very pastel-like which is what makes it girly. Use a darker, neutral background and it's much nicer.
  5. Too bubblegum for me They ruined that song BTW....sounds like a Vegas act
  6. Yeah, I'm not a fan of any of the dancing/singing shows. Mainly because I'm not a 14 year old girl but also because it's not my style of music...I'm more of a rock guy. If Blake writes his own song/music, then I totally respect him for that. I can't stand singers who are there because they have a voice and a pretty face...those are things you are born with and most that have the talent, don't need to work too hard to develop it. If you can write and play an instrument - that takes hard work and dedication.
  7. Hmmm...I saw this and said "who is Blake Shelton?". Apparently a country singer...I learned something today Hope you had fun.
  8. As was said, we didn't see the prelude to the events but I'm not sure why he felt the need to point his weapon at them while they were cuffed on the ground. IMO he should have acted a bit calmer and not gotten into a yelling match with the people involved but rather radioed for backup and maintained control until they arrived. A little coolness on his part may have calmed things down a bit. Classy neighborhood BTW...to me, the older guy in the wifebeater appeared to be lit. I agree with Scruit though, he's outnumbered with a number of agitated people nearby and for all he knew, some jackhole could have fetched a shotgun or something and ruined his day.
  9. At least (it sounds like) you were smart and wearing full gear so your injuries are minor. It's a shame it had to happen at all though.

    I think it looks like a Windows design...and I'm not being complimentary. I can live with it though.

    Spotlight used to be a PITA...I'm glad they changed it. Do people even search the phone?
  15. Check out factory refurbished DSLRs at reputable places like Adorama. I've bought my last 3 Canon bodies that way and saved a bunch of money. IMO refurbs are better than new in that new items only get a certain percentage of quality checks while refurbed products need to pass every single manufacturing quality test. I buy a lot of electonics this way when I can from Apple, Dell, etc and have yet to have a single problem with any one of them.
  16. BTW, if you want underwater images/pictures, the GoPro is going to be one of the cheapest solutions while still giving very good quality unless you are doing macro shots. I used to do underwater photography but realized I was missing a lot of dives because I was too busy fussing with the camera. Now I mount a GoPro on my head and just record what I see. I've caught some good stuff.
  17. I didn't know you were a diver Tough to really give you a good answer without knowing how you plan to use it long term and how in-depth you want to go in your learnings. The great thing about point and shoot (p&s) cameras is that they are small and light and are easy to travel with. Many have manual settings just like a big DSLR. If you do your research, there are quite a few that take very nice images. The down side is that you are stuck with the focal length and aperture that comes with the camera. Flashes are generally only good for relatively close portraits unless it has a hot shoe. There are some p&s now that come with changeable lenses but I honestly haven't looked at them too closely. DSLRs are highly flexible with lenses to change focal length/aperture. However, they are more expensive (especially the nicer lenses) and they are big and heavy. They can be a real drag (literally) to haul around on vacation - especially with larger lenses. The latest thing in cameras that are becoming very popular are mirrorless cameras with detachable lenses that give you the flexibility of the DSLRs but the lighter weight and smaller form factor of a p&s. I believe Samsung and Sony are 2 of the leaders here. The downside is the cost of the cameras and lenses and generally they have smaller sensors than the DSLRs so image quality will be not be as good – especially in lower light situations. http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Mirrorless-Digital-18-55mm-3-5-5-6/dp/B00A3I5V0S

    I like the new iOS...the one feature I wish they'd implement is when opening an app from a folder, close the folder automatically so that when I close the app, I go to the "home screen" (one of many) rather than that folder. When I had the jailbreak, I implemented that change and it was awesome.
  19. Taking the 135i convertible down there tomorrow...wish I could throw the bike in the trunk
  20. Saw this at a high end restaurant a week ago...
  21. Most reasonable people would (correctly) think that, yes. But apparently the dealer thinks more of making a sale than customer service which will eventually kill off their business. Like I said, I'm sure they thought they'd sell it AND get another sale because he had a deposit down.
  22. With such a hot seller, they have no incentive to hold it for you. I'm sure they thought you'd wait on another. Poor customer service but then again, that's most places these days (not exclusive to dealers).
