Who wants to use Windows on a tablet? Isn't there a future with Andros? Likewise the touchscreen is awful for most desktop use.

Damn, I haven't seen them since the 60s.

How long will Win 7 be available for purchase? I'm not so happy with it's extra layer of crap that slows me down, but it should usable for the rest of my life.

To me an upgrade is a like for like or like for similar, so it would have to be at least an upgrade for a 5D or perhaps older 1Ds series.

No, it's not an upgrade for the 7D at all.

From what I gather online it is not really that the camera is bad, but that it is only an incremental upgrade and people expect more in 2012. Most consumers will complain and buy whatever product is out there is anyway unles it is really awful. The jpeg examples look heavily processed to me. I...

Some people are extremely disappointed, but most are just moderately disappointed. I would buy one, but currently have no use for a new, not quite pro build grade, camera with only 1MP more than my fleet of 1Ds IIIs. Canon as a company is slipping significantly and fired the CEO recently.

No, but I'm not sure how much it would be improved. Finally got the D7000 back after two months of parts delay. The AF seems to be within range, but every lens needs testing and most need some ± compensation. I hope it will finally see some real use next month. There is still no word on...

Why is this a shopping helper? Are you supposed to cook hard drives on it?

OK, I can live without the battery replacement, though I am concerned about it dying right after the warranty expires. I'm still not sure if the overall cost is worthwhile. It looks like the data plan is $35/mo.

I would not trust a Samsung drive with my apps though.

So how much does the battery replacement cost?

Wow, it looks like the Chinese spider bot is really sucking all the juice out of SF. I wonder if that affects the performance. :scratch:

Damn, who or what are those 175?

I've been using the X10 and store brands of the same for over 20 years. There are two main drawbacks. The receiver units tend to fail over time (anywhere from 1-10 years) and they are very sensitive to line noise. Failures of the former type are worse with partly fluorescent or electronic...

I thought they had already merged.

I don't think it hurts to go on a date or two, but do so with eyes wide open and realistic expectations.

What do you mean, the back does not come off for swapping the battery? :skepo: I thought that only Apple did not want the users to change batteries. :(

Well, it's for me. :) I was thinking that beyond 240Gb there would not be any increase in performance or it would be negligible. I don't need more than 80GB of storage space, even with Win 7.

Which one, the 240GB 520?

That is a good point. I just can't decide whether to buy a tablet now or wait a couple of months. I'd like a smallish one and also a larger one for photos. Is there any chance we will see >HD resolution?

So where are we now, 3 months later? Which is the best performing, most reliable single SSD these days?

You, as the field service guy? Scary. :rambo:

I wish the extra cores would shut down and CPU slow down to save power when needed.

It does not say that exactly.

You don't find the display too small?

Yeah, the latter bother me. But I really have no interest in learning anything complicated now. With all the apps today and supposed technology, there should be a damned checkbox for keeping the outgoing e-mail on the server. The whole point is to have a permanent record of all e-mails...

Oh, I would not worry about that BP yet. Keep checking it because usually it increases with age. :(

That would be a good time to measure it.

You can't do that in the full version either.

Since you are in pretty good shape from what I understand, it may not be simply a matter of more exercise. There are otherwise healthy athletes with hypertension for example. I understand your reluctance to take medication, but hypertension is one of the easier ones to treat and there are a...

See a doctor fopr treatment and keep monitoring until you get it under control.

Thanks. I did not match up that problem and it seems not worth expending substantial effort for numerous e-mail accounts and several ISPs.

I see, but there are faster ways.

I don't know about that. Before I "permanently disabled" ;) the camera in my cell phone it had a rather awful 480x640 VGA jpeg output. :alb:

Is there any way to get my outgoing smartphone e-mails back to my computer? When I reply to somebody from the phone I resort to cc-ing myself, but that is not really right since the sent field is not the recipient.

So why would you do that?

I have 1260, but I can't see how many other members have. I guess it is only for the user.

I don't see how to determine the number of your posts in the thread either.

I am using the Windows IE. I think it only works if one is logged in first. :( Normally I only log in when replying.

Not that I see.

It seems like some items are missing, for example replying without a quote.

I have not used one in many years. Back in the 90s days you would take the film reels to a camera store for that. The home projection/recording method suffers from synch issues; super 8 film is 18FPS for example. The home copy units are cheap if you can find a used one on eBay for example...

Many of the flash drives are going from 2-bits to 3-bits per cell MLC. :(

Why are you using a phone on WiFi? Is it not in an area of good cell reception?

I'd like a StoneBridge, similar to the Force SSDs.

Better be careful. I'll show one with my early 70s big hair and polyester leisure suit. :D

I buy the $7 keyboards. After about 12-18 months they are too dirty for me anyway, so it is time to dispose them. I just ordered another 6 a few weeks ago.

Is everyone in the south 300lbs and smoking? Last night I was in a restaurant and everyone was going apeshit over the Mardi Grass too. I thought that was only on New Orleans but I guess not.

On my work Dell it is on the side and sometimes slides when inserted/removed from a slip case. But seriously, people should try both positions before calling tech support. Maybe you should consider adding a sticker on the top with a list of simple things to check before calling for support.
