  1. Here I come to back up iOS.

     

    Just noticed a few glaring issues in the post. The price is not 700 and if you dont take advantage of buying a phone on contract you are stupid. Sorry but its true. Plus you say your signing you life away for 3 years? Ive upgraded each iPhone within 6 months of release. First its only a 2 year contract, and second call customer service and ask, you will be suprised what they do for you when you are nice. Ive learned that from running a call center. If your getting an android off contract for 150, its not comparable to a phone within the past 2 years. iPhone is comparably price to all Android phones. If its more expensive it can be explained by the features, atleast within a hundred dollars. I agree apple products have a premium, but BMW has a premium over chevy due to the quality as well

     

    Over the air updates are available on iOS. Was stated it wasnt

     

    Screen orientation lock is available on iOS. Was stated it wasnt

     

    Plus I really would like to hear the gripes about iTunes. I enjoy iTunes and all the features over any other music program I have tried.

     

    If you team the iPhone up with iCloud and iTunes Match you will not be disappointed. I was very impressed when 8450 of my 9500 songs got "credit" from the itunes store and are available for download whenever i choose.The other 1,050 are available to download whenever i want aswell because they have been uploaded. Yes its 25 bucks, but 25 bucks for 9200+ illegal songs is fine by me.

  2. Yes im digging up an old post but just thought I would give you an update. Signed a lease downtown at http://www.hartmanlofts.com for a year. Thought going downtown was my best bet to have stuff to do, Nice enough place that I hope to stay for longer if Stutters and Rackspace cant get me a better gig.

  3. So there was some regionalization within my job. Everything throughout the Midwest is being consolidated to Columbus, OH. So I had the choice to find something else in Milwaukee or decide to do my job in Ohio but for the whole Midwest. I decided on the move.

     

    So I will be moving to Columbus and I thought I could see if anyone knew of the better areas to live around Columbus. Would like to have an area that has stuff to do other than a local bar, so I was thinking downtown but didnt know how it rated in comparison to the surrounding cities.

     

    With a bunch of GC located in Ohio I thought I could look for some insight from all of you. Any advice would be appreciated.

  4. Yup, its me. With winter upon us, I think its time to jump back into the CSS and MW2 arena and I saw the new CS teaser and got a bit aroused. Specs of a new build are below, let me know what you think. Ive been away from the comp building for awhile so I dont know what is bad/good anymore. Looking to keep it reletively cheap(Under 1k), but don't mind spending more to get a bit better performance. But this build seems like it could handle anything out there. Grabbed alot off of a Life Hacker post

     

    LIAN LI Lancool PC-K7B Black Aluminum/ SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case I dont want any damn blue lights, simple and effective :)

    GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard Seems good enough

    EVGA 01G-P3-1561-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB (Fermi) 1GB Dont know vid cards anymore and this looked good

    CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750W ATX12V Same thing, looks like enough juice and good reviews

    Intel Core i5-2500 Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) Flip flopping between this and i7, dont know if its worth a 100 difference

    Crucial M4 CT064M4SSD2 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD For OS and programs only

    Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB Media drive

    G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) 8GB really needed? So I went with 4

    LG Black 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 12X DVD-RAM 10X BD-ROM might as well upgrade to BD

    ZALMAN CNPS9900MAX-B 135mm To keep it cooooooool

     

    All in all this adds up to 1200, so a bit over budget but I could easily make the budget if i wouldnt go with the SSD or Blu Ray, but I think those will pay off in the long run.

     

    And yes, I want to make babies with you all

  5. Nope, dead as a door nail, nothing to see here....move along :wiggle2::freak:
