I bought a few things since my last post. I decided to get serious about backups and got a Synology NAS:

Cool! I won't be able to watch it until later, so it is good to read about some of the changes. Do you know if you can pick the device from Siri after you turn it on? In other words, if I have two...

I got an email from AT&T on June 2nd saying I could come in and trade my 4S in for a 16GB iPhone 5 for "free" with a 2 year contract. Since my current contract doesn't expire until October, it...

I have a Roku and it is not a good AppleTV substitute. As an example, I subscribe to Lynda.com for educational videos for photography and other hobbies. I don't know any way to get these videos to...

Some good arguments either way, but I think I would go ahead and do it now. As someone mentioned, plenty of competition in the market already has their MBA, so you will be competing against them...

I still use DOS at work. It is mainly for BAT files, but we also have some programs that pop in and out of it.

At home, I use OSX, Win7, and Win8. I prefer OSX (mountain lion). iOS 6.1.3.

I used to jailbreak the iPhone for fun and necessity, but I did get tired of it crashing. When iOS added music...

Congrats!

I have three Macs and run Windows on two of them. The iMac can be used as a display for a MBP via thunderbolt that runs Windows, so I haven't added Windows to the iMac and probably won't. The price...

+1 Yep, that is a great setup!

I bought mine a couple months after the initial release. The main reason I bought one was because it was the cheapest and best Blueray player at the time. Not sure if many remember, but HD DVD had a...

A lot of people are commenting that it is better for touchscreens, but I have used the Surface and find it just as awkward. Try clicking on excel, for example, and you are carried into the Classic...

I also have an iMac, but I have a MacBook Pro, too. :)


Nice, MJW!

Beef and veggie stir fry

I bought a Wok and "Spider" a couple of weeks ago, but it was finally nice enough outside to try it out. The "Spider" sits inside my Big Green Egg grill and the wok fits inside it:
...

If you are talking about mirroring (meaning showing the video on both screens), I have not been able to get any surround sound using this method. I would love to be wrong, so if you find a link that...

The main issue is the lack of surround sound (not just DTS). It is great for using on occasion, but I would keep the HDMI.

Yeah, if the new iPad came out and my old iPad completely stopped working as a result, I would not be happy. I have a 1st Gen Touch that I still use for playing music, so these things seem to last...

I personally don't mind them coming out with better tech more often. I can then make the choice of whether or not I think it is a big enough upgrade to make the purchase. I have an iPad 3, so I...

I don't think this is an issue with the email app. Mine works fine with loading more messages. However, you may have something set up wrong. I would go to settings and the mail app and check your...

For me, the main problem is the moving back and forth on two separate desktops. I have Win8 on a media laptop and I don't ever want to see the old Win7 Desktop. It is easier to see on the TV and...

Nice! I have heard good things about the MDR-V6 headphones and Rush is awesome. :D

I read that this was fixed with 6.01.

I have and I agree with him. The length vs width makes it awkward to use in portrait mode. The lack of apps is also a major issue right now. You really need a table to sit it on to use it...

Why do you buy their products?
