Interesting read. I was surprised they are still using XP though.

Technology & Hardware / OS X Question.
« on: April 29, 2013, 12:25:49 pm »
Perhaps those familiar can shed some light on this for me.

Other. What is other in regards to the 22GB of space it is taking up? Is it the OS? Can I remove these files? If so how?

I have removed all the software I don't want and moved everything (Download, Documents etc) to an external drive. So its nothing obvious, at least to me.

Technology & Hardware / Ultrabooks.
« on: April 13, 2013, 11:16:02 am »
Looking at getting an Ultrabook. Love the size/weight of the Ultrabooks and looking for something portable.

My main considerations are 1) Build quality 2) Track-pad/keyboard 3) Screen res.

After some looking and playing and reading I'm narrowing it down a bit but would enjoy some feedback from the people. A few ideas I'm throwing around....

I know I know... but its built very well and has a fairly wicked screen resolution. However I'd end up running windows on it and then it becomes one of those things. But its a consideration none the less. Windows at an unreadable 2880x1800 is awesome looking.

Made from duralumin with a nice screen res and a backlit keyboard with thing is pretty nice. Very light and built like a boss.

Nice stuff from ASUS. Always brought ASUS laptops but I find it kinda ugly...

Currently in the lead in terms of what I am after. At this point looking like the best option.

Anybody wanna throw anything in here? There isn't exactly what I would call an abundance of options out there.

Technology & Hardware / HTC One vs Galaxy S4 - Which one and why?
« on: March 22, 2013, 06:59:39 pm »
Nice phones huh?





So I'm just rather curious here. If you had the choice of these, what would you pick?

Gonna bump up from the S3 to either one, and can't really come to a conclusion. The One has some very very good build quality to it with the unibody with an insane DPI, but lacks the removable battery and SD slot. GS4 has a larger screen (all be it only slightly) and some blistering processing power.

The amazing build of the HTC One has me so swayed, that phone could last for a really long time due to that alone. Yes, sure, non-removable battery somewhat contradicts that I know, but it could still be replaced at the end of the day. I enjoy custom ROMs and I'm pretty sure the GS4 will have more support in that area, so I'm really wondering what is the better way to go.

Anyone care to share?

Technology & Hardware / Ubuntu 12.10
« on: February 27, 2013, 08:32:31 pm »
Anyone else running this?

I'm enjoying it more then Windows 8. Got this horrendous HP sleekbook for supercheap and it had windows 8 on it. After the slow startup times, slow apps and bluescreens I ragequit and threw Ubuntu on it.

1000x better tbh, at least on low end machines.

Technology & Hardware / Anyone else running a custom S3 ROM?

I've been trying a few. Fun stuff. Who is running what?

This kinda shit brings Android onto such another level.
