well yea the megapixel count in this case is basically the same as taking a good 10mp photo and just resizing it to 500%

Needless to say, it's great when I'm out taking pictures as I can just transfer the images and have a quick look at them. Even do a quick test edit if I feel like it. Obviously, it's also great for traveling.
Before I got one I was very sceptical as well but now I love it and I definatley can't do with only my phone.
That being said, all the benefits I see with the iPad kind of goes out the window with the mini, but I suppose there's a market for it. Both Google and Samsung have mini tablets that seem to do reasonsbly well. I don't think it's a typical Apple product but maybe they'll give in to market more now that Jobs isn't there anymore.Label me landlord, I keep k's in my hand

That being said, I haven't received mine yet, but I look forward to using it in tandem with a wireless keyboard for emailing on the go, and color verification while at the studio.—

dunno. i'm currently imprisoned in my apt due to the storm. at this second, i'm listening to radio on my phone and typing this on my ultrabook (in size only) while lying in my bed, head on my pillow using a bluetooth mouse on a bedside table. I'm pretty damn comfortable. oh, i'm also downloading a few movies & tv stuff to get me thru the rest of the day & tomorrow.....take that ipad
ps:intend to get a WiDi receiver for my tv to stream right from my bed. i'm not sayin i would never use an ipad if i had 1 but the combo of an iphone & an ultra portable, powerful laptop works perfectly for me.

my wife has a 13" envy, the model is a few years old though but it has worked fine. some of the envy models are/were relatively heavy, but I think there are some brand new models that are lighter. I have a HP desktop and laptop at work, and have been happy with both."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION. NOW NOW this is it people, these are the brands no one fucking knows and people are like WTF. they do everything by hand in their freaking secret basement and shit."

file under technology is f'ing awesome:
When Twitter user @comfortablysmug starting spreading false information last night, Buzzfeed's Andrew Kaczynski went after him - first by tweet, then by tumblr:
[I]n the chaos around Hurricane Sandy, [@comfortablysmug tried] to trick his media followers, and their followers and readers in turn, with fake news. He reported, falsely, on a total blackout in Manhattan, on a flood on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, and other things that didn’t happen. Two of his tweets garnered more than 500 retweets. One drew a rebuke from ConEd’s official Twitter account. Twitter’s self-correction mechanism — rebukes and rebuttals from knowledgeable sources — shut down each rumor, but not until at least one, the flood claim, had bled widely into the television media.
Today, Jack Stuef exposed the Internet villian:
What leads a person to do such a thing, which his critics have likened to shouting "fire" in a crowded movie theater? It’s unclear. But perhaps it has something to do with the nature of anonymity. If there are no consequences for posting false "BREAKING" news, there’s an incentive to do it to an accumulate a large audience.
What @comfortablysmug didn’t count on, apparently, was losing that anonymity. Based on photos he censored and posted to the account but I found unedited elsewhere, @comfortablysmug is Shashank Tripathi, a hedge-fund analyst and the campaign manager of Christopher R. Wight, this year’s Republican candidate for the U.S. House from New York’s 12th congressional district. FEC documents show Wight has paid Tripathi thousands of dollars this election cycle as a "consultant." @comfortablysmug has been a vocal supporter of Mitt Romney and posted tweets suggesting he attended this year’s Republican convention. He’s listed here by a local Republican group coordinating volunteers for a Romney phone bank.

so Ives is now head of software and hardware design. i hope he redesigns the entire iOS and OS X UI so it doesn't look like adolescent skeuomorphic nightmare.
i'm still slave to OS X with the freaking leather trimmed calendar, but I don't think I want to use iOS anymore until someone cleans it up (hence my inquiry on windows 8 phones because it looks really sharp to me)
meanwhile, I got the late 2012 mac mini with a dell display. didn't want to wait for the new imac anymore. runs ok with stock HD, but waiting for my SSD Raid kit whenever the mail delivers..
