Success, after a mere ~5 hours on the phone! Still don't know what they'll find for me and where I'll have to go to pick it up, but it's better than checking in at 8am every morning hoping a local store got stock and you were quick enough to get som…

Is there some kind of bylaw that requires an a$$hat to stop by every few posts to bless us with his wisdom, enlightened worldview, and challenging grammar/spelling?

Second attempt ended at a full mailbox after a little over 30 minutes. Currently a little over an hour into my third attempt, have successfully reached a human being again. She assures me that she'll call me back if we get disconnected - we're both…

(Just to go along with the theme of the day, AI's boards are hiccuping badly, causing duplicate posts)

As others have said, IUP owners are not looking for preferential treatment, just to have a chance to buy a phone like other buyers, which we definitely did not have on launch night. I called the number around 3pm EDT, waited about 45 minutes to get…

In addition to the Apple logo being covered up about 95% of the time these days, Microsoft is clearly making a major TV push - Windows 8 and Nokia Windows Phone have been very prominent on both "Parks and Recreation" and "The Mindy Project" this sea…

I'd be interested to know what impact Verizon's new "Share Everything" plans (and their elimination of individual plans) has had on sales. When Best Buy had their trade-in deal recently (which amounted to getting a free 16GB iPhone 5), I finally con…

I'll believe this when I see it - strikes me as extremely unlikely. Marco Arment talked at length on his podcast this week about his previous hunch that new iMacs and Mac Pros were waiting for Retina 27" screens to be available, and admitted that …

I don't think there's any requirement that they do 4x - like I said, that's what they've done so far, but that was for hardware with much closer viewing distances (and the pixel density has been going down with each iteration). What they're doing …

I'm not sure that I even buy that 'Retina' is worth the bother on the desktop displays - even at the numbers quoted above (122dpi vs. current 109), it doesn't seem that worthwhile for a gain of just over 10% in resolution. Interestingly, though, t…
