I'd like to know if there is a way to limit what's stored in the cloud. Especially if retaining RAW files, 5 GB are really small. While I'm no way a professional or even hobbyist photograph, I have collected some 30-50 GB probably in just three year…

Can't count, my ass. ALL of the higher-end model configs are already contained in the possible lower-end configs. It's different with the Mac Pro in that high- and low-end model are just dfferent base configs that can be configured with the same opt…

I switched over to Chrome a while ago, and I was surprised how little impact it had that it wasn't the standard browser. Unlike on a PC i can't click on local .html files anyway, so 95% of all cases when Safari is being invoked it's through some i…
