That's why I want a pouch. So I can use it naked while protecting it from pocket lint and whatever I throw in my pocket.

Clean your pockets! lol. My left pocket is only for my phone. That way I never have any issues about other items in there. Lint isn't allowed either lol.

Anyone of you tested this leather pouch? http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0091THDOM

It seems nice to my eyes and is what I want from a pouch, but some Amazon reviewers have negative things to say about it.

If price isn't a concern, you should look into this case:

You can if you build yourself a Hackintosh...

[F34R]

I looked into those already and I doubt my systems I have would fit the bill.

Which is why you build them to spec. You could always sell yours and make a Hackintosh. The benefit is you can just swap out parts or put in a mega beefy graphics card if you want to dual boot Windows for gaming.

[F34R]

That's what I was afraid of. Having to build...

I keep meaning to try that withy my laptop. Just set a partition on the SSD and need to buy a copy of the latest OS. May give it a go later in the year

If it would just work with the hardware I already have in my laptop or desktop, then I'd go for it right now. lol

Running a hackintosh is like getting an invite to Scarlett Johansson's bed and keeping your pants on. Only half the fun.

How so?

How so?

Steve Jobs used to reference this quote by Alan Kay "People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware." It is the principle the Mac is built upon. Taking one away from the other doesn't yield the full experience.

[F34R]

They build their own hardware? Basically they have pc components that you can buy yourself... right? Maybe I misunderstood...

I dont buy that so I don't buy Mac OS for my computer.
Like Activision did with Tony Hawk ride, those guys must be dead serious about software.

Components certainly are a commodity but they way they're put together in a package defines the value.

Hackinthoses brings issues such as software update incompatibility with it. Usually not having those types of issues is where part of the value of the Mac is as well.

I'm sure they're serious, but you have to back up good values with great products. That's something they've struggled with.

[F34R]

Basically a proprietary setup. If you can buy the actual components that are in the Mac surely the updates should be compatible. I'll have to do a lot more research. The price difference is what has killed me getting the actual product.

[keefy]

If they would just alow MAc OS to work on a regular retqail hardware I would give it a try.

[F34R]

That's my problem. I can't get the idea of spending 1000 for lesser hardware.

Updates are often not compatible. Causing wait times until you can install it. The price difference isn't as big as it used to be. Especially when you factor in build quality and price of bundled software.

They tried that once. It didn't work.

Remember that Mountain Lion costs $19.99 per license. Subsidized by the hardware.

If it were a few hundred difference.... it wouldn't be a problem at all. First, I can't even get my specs on a macbook pro, and the closest I can get is $950 difference. That doesn't fall in line. I want one BAD, just not break the bank bad.

[BoyBettaKnow]

Has anyone tried this Simpsons Tapped Out game? I am so addicted to it!!!!

I've started playing it, it is quite a addictive game. Reminds me of CastleCraft. I do hate games like these but they are so addictive, i keep checking back every few minutes to get the cash from my houses even though i put the characters on hour long quests at a time

[F34R]

I have it but just haven't started playing yet.

Same as me. I really want a Mac and to get my grubby little fingers on Logic but I can't justify buying one just yet. I may upgrade my desktop and buy a 13" MBP next year before I decide to get another gaming laptop.
