QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 12:06 PM) Its been two games, geez Sure. If you ignore his .681 OPS after the All-Star break last year... or the .567 OPS in Spring Training.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 12:33 PM) Actually, it was entirely relevant in that statement because I was remarking about the propensity of some critics to compare the iPad dollar to dollar with a Windows machine. Alright. I'll give you that. I still think if the iPad was half the cost, it'd be a worthwhile machine. However, we've been down this road, and we do not need to go down it again. It definitely is a cool little device, and the ABC App alone shows how awesome it really could be when utilized to its fullest solely as an entertainment platform.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 12:26 PM) I took a whack at Windows' machines only after Steve came in here and proclaimed the newest Apple product absolutely pointless after using it for 2 hours. Which was completely irrelevant and had nothing to do with the Apple iPad. It could have been the Google F*ckbuddy and if it was as useless and non-revolutionary as the iPad seems to be, I would have said the same thing.

Should have had Chicago Bulls Basketball as an option.

Personally, I'll be rooting for Tiger.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:44 AM) I haven't had a chance to watch his at bats yet...has he looked like he understands the existence of "breaking balls" this year yet? He doesn't look like he understands the existence of breaking balls or straight balls. He looks lost.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 10:56 AM) Yep. And I actually think Phil Rogers (whose been brutal lately) brough up a very good point as to why the hell have the Sox not worked on some of these guys to make it better. I also have a radical opinion that the Sox should use Jenks as a starter. He f***s around way too much in the pen and I think it is because he loves showing off all of his plus pitches. He threw a couple nasty change-ups last night, he has a good fastball that he can get to run, and we all know about his nasty curve. At this point, I think he actually has the make-up to be a real freaking good starter. It'll never happen, but I'd support the move. Bad relievers often don't make good starters.

Alexei worries me this year.

I beat the first boss in GoW 3 last night after getting home from the game. What an intense game and what amazing graphics...

This is epic.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 06:29 PM) Steve, did you watch the game review? He does a lot of excellent game reviews for new games. They give you a great idea of what to expect before you buy. What game review?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 09:50 AM) My PC has done everything I've needed it to do and hasn't stopped me from doing anything I couldn't. There has never been a time where I looked at my computer and said, s***, if only I had a mac I could do this or if only I had a mac I wouldn't have this issue. Never has that ever happened to me. So since that is the case, I can't really justify paying double for a machine that for all intents and purposes to me, will do nothing better for me. And I'm not referring to an Ipad, I'm referring to a Mac compared with a PC. And you're on the "horrible" Vista. You should really upgrade to 7 as it hogs way fewer resources. I got to take the iPad home last night. The thing that will make it endlessly entertaining is the same reason people like their iPhones or the iPod Touch... the Aps. Each contains 5 or more minutes of entertainment. I did notice the iPad froze a lot, I assume with any new device this will be fixed in future software downloads. Hell, my Palm Pre only recently stopped having any issues and that was after it got the software update to the Palm Pre Plus.

It's getting dangerous to play the Blues. They are cheap-shot, head hunting ass clowns. That hit on Hossa was insanely dangerous... I assume his leaving the game after a few more shifts was precautionary given the Hawks were up five goals at the time, so let's hope he's alright.

His wife actually said he won't even go down on her... ouch.

The tarp is off the field.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 05:10 PM) Did you not see... Your post sucks forever, balta.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 04:49 PM) Oh, ok, fair enough. I thought you were razzing my Appleness. Nah. I've used Apple products and they are gorgeous. I was just playing with the iPad today and wanted to get my $0.02 in, that is all. If it fits your needs perfectly, then it's a money product for you. I think if it had the following four things, it'd be awesome: 1. Ability to install printer drivers and print wirelessly 2. hdmi - out 3. Full browser functionality (ie javascript) 4. web cam - I'm shocked it lacks this feature

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 04:45 PM) Does it upset you that I refuse to take your bait, Steve? Get over it...I am happy with the device. Just like millions and millions of people are happy with Apple devices. Why is that so difficult for you to accept? I'm sorry, I really should have put "HATER!" in green, because I was totally joshing around... I said I was glad you liked your iPad, and I meant it.

HATER! I am glad you like your iPad, though. That's really all that matters.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 04:28 PM) I upgraded my last remaining PC with the OS that will not be named last weekend after my free upgrade finally arrived after 4 months of trying to get them to ship it to the right address. God, it was a pleasure to kill that thing off. Windows 7 rocks. As for a previous post, I don't see why dropping $650 on an iPad that is guaranteed to not have features that you fear might be corrupted by a faulty OS that is no longer sold is such a great idea. Anyhoo. Clearly there's a hater in the thread, and that isn't me.
