You can buy from a non-university/college network, but it requires that you're 18, and therefore it most likely only applies to university students. Or others in further education past the age of 18.
Edit:Just checked, it also requires that you have a valid student card, so I'm assuming this backs up the above thought.

There are two models for the 15 inch, A1106 for the 15 inch lores and A1138 for the 15 inch hires. For the lores 230 is enough if bought on ebay. Hires gets a higher selling price.

So my iphone 4 is in the mail and I'm now dealing with the challenge of transferring my info over. Is there an easier way to transfer my contacts? I know google stores all contacts in the cloud but that would take a while hand typing them over.
Any tips from previous Android users that switched?
(I own several iOs devices so im aware of the general workings)

I'm a graphic designer and I have a great need for a beautiful, fully featured display. I read on the Buying Buide that it's approaching the end of a cycle, but I'm not really sure what's behind that. Would anyone care to shed some light on the reasons for waiting to buy one? Any rumors I should know about?
Thanks,
Chris

That is what gaming is ;). Sorry, but uh, gaming is killing time. You really think you do something productive when you game? No, you do something fun that you enjoy in your spare time. And if it isn't your spare time.. then you're going to find it hard to pay your bills in the real world if you are so addicted to gaming you are doing it rather than the stuff you *need* to do (like go to work).
This is a rant, so no comment necessary.
Depends on what you are talking about. RPGS like final fantasy? Sorry, really don't need tactile controls for that. In ways, touch is better cause you don't have to go scrolling for the command you want, you can instantly touch what you want to do.I never mentioned RPGs.
Honestly, we can take your argument further. Your console games suck cause they don't have enough controls like a computer game does. For example try doing a realistic flight sim on a console? Ain't going to happen. You need a lot more ability to do a lot of commands (and quickly, not just scrolling through), something having a keyboard with a lot more ways to have different commands, gives you. I'm actually amazed some one did a decent flight sim (of course it has the same problem as consoles do, but actually if I were on a bigger screen like an iPad, it probably could be better than consoles cause they can just have you touch the controls on the "dashboard" giving you more options to control than a controller with limited buttons. So once again, touch screen is better than a control pad, but only if you have enough real estate on that touch screen).
Not sure why you bring up consoles based on your earlier comment, or did you forget what you wrote? This happens from time to time when you tend to write to much. You lose your train of thought....snip Consoles shouldn't even be discussed in this discussion. That is like comparing apples and oranges, they really have no bearing in this at all.
In any regard, your knowledge of what is possible shows a fundamental lack of imagination. You seem to keep missing the point of more complicated control mechanisms, a gamer does not want to look away from the screen to find a control. Touch screen too often for complicated games has you looking for where the action button is.
Of course, for some games, the controller on a console is better cause you do want some simplicity. And then there are games like racing games where sorry, your controller SUX! I'll take my iphone's tilt control on a racing game over a frikkin d-pad or joy stick. Of course, the best for that is an actual steering wheel and pedals :).
Racing games suck for a non gamer. A controller gives more finite control of the physics of driving.
What type of control is best depends on the game ;). You can't just generalize here and you're being very short sighted if you think the controller is a end all be all and that there aren't things touch screen is better for.
None of which you proved in your counter points. Ask any gamer, any real gamer, what he would prefer Grand Turismo or Forenza.
I'm going to turn this around on you. Mario? Are you frikkin kidding me? Yeah, I am going to compare them both... they're both cheesy little games. What is with some of you people and your Mario love? There are far better games out there. And I hate how Nintendo just does Mario everything. Mario racing cart? Why not Gran Turismo? That's a far better and much more in depth racing game. Even Need for Speed is far better.
Mario is a great party game when you have people over I guess. Nintendo I suppose is good for kiddy games and social games. But honestly, I can't believe you're holding up the Mario name and having some sort of snub about being a real gamer. Mario is as much a time waster as Angry Birds (Which honestly isn't a bad thing, cheesy games that are just fun but you don't have to get into can be fun in their own right. But don't frikkin sit there and tell me I don't like in depth games and use *mario* as your example. Shoot, in general Nintendo isn't better for that really, they're "time wasters" are just in a different format. I would honestly think some one who cares about in depth would be more interested in Xbox or Playstation. I'm sure Nintendo has some but I am sure having a hard time finding any for the Wii my mom gave me).
Damn, you really just don't get gaming. Your comparisons show it. Yes there are better games than the Mario series, but better is subjective. Younger people may not get Metal Gear Solid/Socom/GTA etc. Your dislike or not understanding the popularity of Mario is not relevant. Millions and millions and millions of Mario games sell,. Why? Because people like them. You stand alone and out of the loop. But that's OK. It's you're personal preference.
In regard to Mario Cart specifically, it is one fun game to play alone or with people, especially if you have children. Totally different audience than Gran Turismo. The in depth comment was not used in relation to Mario. You got that mixed up. However, the Mario side scroll and 3D games are in comparison far more in depth and challenging than "Angry Birds." Sorry that is just the way it is.
I thought when you said depth you meant actually having a story and having to get into the game to finish it cause you need to get through all sorts of levels vs. this game is fun to play at any time. Most of Mario isn't something you need to get into for long periods of time, you can pick it up and play for a bit, play with others, have fun, but you aren't really getting into some extended play (I'll give you that Mario RPG had a story, but it still was more cheesy/humorous. I still prefer my Square soft RPGs, and even Breath of Fire IV).
You're guessing what I'm thinking now?
Well.
1. Usually multiplayers require the people run the same system so your scenario wouldn't happen.
That is why I used "if possible". The precedent for multi platform interplay is being set by Steam with PS3, MAC and PC on Portal 2. Maybe you missed my earlier link.
2. I prefer solitary games to multi-player games (I will admit I'm not huge into games like Doom or whatever the equivalent is these days. The only shooting games I like are ones with a good story, usually horror story, like Silent Hill). My favorite games have a story that unveils as you play it, usually those are more solitary games. So I don't really care about playing against others..
That old personal prefrence thing is rearing it's ugly head again. No one cares about what you like.
3. Which makes sense I am not a huge Nintendo fan, it's great more for social and kiddy games. Sony and Microsoft cater more to my kind of games.
I took the libertiy to highlight some key items in red. These indicate the "I"ism of your thinking. Never try to make a point in forum relation to yourself. In this case the I's don't have it.

Just like most everything else, I trust Apple has thought this through a little more than our collective minds. They wouldn't put out something that wouldn't work.

Also the reason for the M rating should be listed on the game. Your parents can decide what they think is appropriate for you based on the content, and not just the rating. If they are worried about you seeing nudity or sex, then you should stay away from Bioware games.
There is nudity in Bioware games? I've seen the illusion of sex, where they "do it" but you don't see a thing, and no nudity (Mass Effect, DAO)

Hello,
I am looking for the best solution to my home theater. Currently I have a 100 projector hooked up to a ps3, xbox 360, and a net book. I also have an ipad and iPhone. I am looking for the best way to get videos I download on my macbook pro onto my big screen.
Right now i download the files (to my MacBook pro, usually divx or mkv) then transfer with a USB drive, andopen it on my net book. I feel this is a cumbersome process. IS an apple tv what I need or can I make it work with the equipment I have.
I also would love a way to stream my music to that sound system. I am sure the net book could do all of this, but its performance is pretty awful.
Will the apple tv fair better? I am assuming I would need to jailbreak it to do what i need, right?

So, I've been searching for the best IEMs for many months now. I limited my budget to $200. But I am a value oriented person, so the less expensive, the better.
I have tried various options across many brands- from the lowly $10 SkullCandies to $400 Ultimate Ears Triple driver ones. Tried many big name brands- Bose, DrDre, Monster, Sennheiser, Klipsch, Ultimate Ears, Shure etc
However, none of them make me incredibly excited as the RE0s from Head-Direct.
For people who don't know about Head-Direct(I don't blame you, they are relatively unknown): HeadDirect/HifiMan is brand that produces the "RE" series of headphones. Their products are very highly rated by audiophiles for having the best value. I just recently purchased the higher end of this series, the RE0 for $80.
I must say, I have never known that music could sound so great. These are incredibly detailed, very crispy and yet extremely natural. The highs and mids really come alive from the music. Not recommended for bassheads though. It doesn't have the overpowering boomy bass like the DrDres or SkullCandy. However, it more than makes up for this - the bass is very tight and explodes with every beat.
These really are worth the $200 they used to sell for not too long ago. Very highly recommended
Honourable Mentions:
Over the years, I have tried a bunch of IEMs, and I just wanted to list the best ones, in case you were looking for something else.
$10 - SkullCandy Ink'D
People say bad things about skullCandy. I agree with them. But there is one exception, the Ink'd. These are the best $10 headphones I have listened to. Way better than their pricier alternatives. Good Punchy bass - A bit boomy. Treble/mids - Meh. But for $10, they are awesome.
$30 - JVC FX-66
These are awesome for the $30 range. Clear, detailed. Bass is good too. There are a few harsh treble notes that people may not like.
$30 - Head-Direct RE2 ??
I haven't given these a try but if they are anything like the RE0, then they will sound as good as the best $100 sets. Someone who owns these, please add your input?
$80 - Klipsch S4
These are at the same price point as the RE0. The only reason I would recommend them is the fact that they are very bassy. The bass is voluminous, also fairly tight and punchy. Not too great on the high/treble side though. But If you are into hip-hop etc, this might be a better option for you than the RE0. But IMO, the RE0 is a way better IEM.
I really have one thing to say about Bose/SkullCandy/DrDre. These really suck for the price. Sure they are better than stock Apple earbuds. And they do look very good. But these generally cost $100+ when they really should sell for half that.
I would like to hear what everyone else is using for their music.
tl;dr:
If you have $80 to spend and are looking for incredibly detailed awesome sounding IEMs, get the HeadDirect RE0.

Why don't you just split the audio with a Y adapter so that you don't have to switch it. It will just always be active. This to me seems like a cheaper and better solution.
