May 24, 201312 yr QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 23, 2013 -> 09:46 AM) I can't tell if this is a serious statement or what, from a usually knowledgeable poster. You know damn well that USB3 didn't exist when Firewire was ousted against a vastly inferior USB2. Yes, USB3 is faster than a decade old technology. And Thunderbolt, just like Firewire before it, blows USB3 away with relative ease. The original post was something along the lines of how some radio station is switching over to all Macs and all Firewire TODAY. There is no point to do that TODAY. The fact that USB 3.0 is a decade younger than Firewire means absolutely nothing in the context of my post.

If this is the case, they're not using new computers, but buying used ones, which would be the reason you seek. They have to be using legacy Apple hardware, as new iMACs don't have firewire ports on them.
May 24, 201312 yr Thats what I was alluding to as well. I have a macbookair, imac and even a mini (used as a server). I dont think there is one firewire between them.
May 28, 201312 yr I'm about to bite on the HTC One. Anything I should be reconsidering/waiting for before I go ahead and purchase?

May 29, 201312 yr I set up our Mac Mini today at work. I have to say, I still hate Apple and everything about them, but it is pretty incredible they are able to make the Mac Mini "tower" that small. The only thing I like about Apple computers is how compact they can make them. The downside of that size is obviously not being able to build or swap in your own parts, or do things like add a second drive or what have you, but it's pretty cool.
May 30, 201312 yr Picked up the One today. Beautiful, snappy, awesome. Happy to be far, far away from iOS (and TouchWiz, for that matter)

May 30, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jake @ May 29, 2013 -> 08:26 PM) Naw. Straight AT&T Unlock the bootloader through HTCdev.com. AT&T may force HTC to make the bootloader completely locked in the near future. Even if you don't need it to be unlocked, you never know what you might need to do down the road.

June 10, 201312 yr iOS7 - implementing things Android users have been enjoying for years while changing the look to make it seem like we did more than we actually did.
June 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 10, 2013 -> 04:11 PM) iOS7 - implementing things Android users have been enjoying for years while changing the look to make it seem like we did more than we actually did. This was the moment that made me go "hmm..." There's nothing wrong with taking from a competing product that's better. Design-wise I like what iOS 7 has to offer. They finally got rid of the awful leather and gloss that was the look of something made in 2007 (you know, back when Vista was considered a pretty UI). Flat design is all the jazz these days. What's disappointing is that iOS still doesn't offer any real user customization like Android without having to jailbreak. They finally did get a better notification center and system toggles (FINALLY). But you could have gotten those things with jailbreak tweaks before. Edited June 11, 201312 yr by chw42
