  • What makes me nervous about buying the mini is what happened to those people that bought the iPad 3 in March, less than a year later and they've upgraded it. With so many people disappointed in the specs and price of this unit (wishing it had a be…

  • I'm wasn't so disappointed with the $329 price tag as I was the $100 up charge for only 16 more gigs of ram. Apple is charging $6.25 a gig for storage for these devices and with the price of solid state drives now down to $1 per gig paying six tim…

  • One DVD a month for close to $9 is too much when you can get them from Red-Box for $1. My $10 combo subscription (streaming and DVD) was a fair deal but not any longer. After being forced to choose between the two or get charged a 50% increase to ke…
  • Looks like new processors will be available soon so if they are going to refresh the MAC Pro line I would imagine that it may be soon. Article is here

  • I just traded my 2006 MAC Pro for a new Mini until I see what becomes of the Pro. Hopefully they will add many of the features requested on these forums but I really doubt it. I'd love to see better options for sound output since aftermarket (int…

  • As you guys pointed out there are a lot of great movies and I agree with many of your favorites. Too many to have just one. What I like that I didn't seeon anyone's list... District 9 - I can watch that over and over The Abyss (Directors Cu…
