existing blu ray disks dont stop working when 4K has become the standard

not so much a gaming/steam machine but a HTPC variant.....would def pick one up as I feel the RVZ01/fortress is stil too bulky

that doesn't change the fact you spelled it wrong

at least now I wont have to go through hundreds of their 2.1 stereo quality releases to find the worth whiles one to download with 5.1/7.1 master audio

tip: try doing some basic research and looking into different cameras on your own first before asking
 
It will be much easier to give you suggestions if you know what specifically youre looking for and not looking for rather than trying to answer a shotgun question like "what camera should I buy"
 
its way too general to answer....if you want a fully capable camera, get the canon 1D-x or Nikon D4 which are on a budget of around $4000-$5000 and a few K more for lenses

not worth it for me.....
 
theres only one game or two games on the playstation I want to play which is Uncharted and whenever the nex God of war....but even those are not worth the $400 investment for the console
 
as the the xbox, there are absolutely no games on the xbox im interested in that isnt available on PC

doesnt make a lick of difference to me as I never buy games at full price anymore.  I pre-ordered Arkam Knight only because GMG had the game with the season pass included at almost 50% off the regular price
 
I still havent played Mass effect 3 and just got it for $6.  If you dont care about being the first to play it, saves you a ton if you just wait. plus, by then, the majority of the bugs would have been ironed out

would be interested to see what drones you would be able to mount this on in the future

whoa....if you're being serious, you just lost a whole bunch of cool points in my book

so how would we put two in SLI for more processing power?

Welp. Breaking my own once-a-month rule but I'm snowed the fuck in for two days so whatever.
 
I know it may be difficult for your specification-addled brains to comprehend, but did it ever occur to you that there's something more to technology besides raw specs? Shocker. Actually, I think you people know this, because you guys tend to spend a lot of money on making your desktop PCs based on 20 year old technology look as badass and sexy as is possible but with phones the moment Apple tries to make something look nice they're being vain idiots.
 
I've written so many posts about design at this point but you guys just don't seem to understand it. Specs are by nature unimportant to most people, and they should be to you too. HERESY! More important is that crucial binary state of functionality -- does it work, or does it not work? Specs are secondary. PC manufacturers have spent the last few decades trying to convince normal people that specs matter, that they always need bigger numbers. Apple is making the crazy bet that people are sick of having that shit shoved down their throats constantly about better video cards making Facebook photos look nicer and better CPUs allowing them to edit more documents in Word. (hint, it's the RAM, you lousy capitalist motherfuckers) Apple's making the bet that people will spend money for products that work with a minimum of fuss. People don't want a 3Ghz CPU and 2GB of RAM and a full Intel processor running the x86 instruction set. People don't want an operating system. In fact, people don't want computers any more. You can say all you want about the desktop PC not dying, but for most of the world, it's already dead. People want useful abstractions that make the hardware and everything else but their work transparent. They don't want to care about specs. They don't want to care about getting the latest updates. They want to cut through the bullshit and get to work.
 
That's what the rest of the computing industry has yet to realize. Computers are literally magic to all but us precious few who still can recognize them as the brilliant machines that they are. When Windows tosses a BSOD at the user, their suspension of disbelief is broken, and they get angry. Same about every part of the computing experience that makes them realize that they're using a computer. People don't want to use computers, and for the most part, they can't tell whether or not they are (ask your parents if they think iPads {or Galaxy Tabs if you must} are computers). It will become a lot easier for all of you to understand why people pay for Apple products if you can accept the fact that the rest of the world no longer wants to own a computer.
 
Holding the user's suspension of disbelief for as long as possible when they are using a computer is actually an entire field of study itself, known as user experience and interaction design. Tech people who have little contact with whom I'll call "muggles" (yeah, fuck me for perpetuating the stereotype of cis hetero white tech men as wizards, because we're discussing magic here) are FAMOUSLY incompetent at understanding user experience and interaction design. The result is known as design by committee, essentially where all the design choices are made democratically by a committee. Basically, the end result is that any artistic vision for the design of something is diluted to the point where a bunch of people who don't understand what they're voting for can agree on it. Java is a result of design by committee. (thank you, 10-line "hello world" program) Eclipse is a result of design by committee. Those two are obvious (if you can't see why or how then you need to broaden your horizons) USB is a result of design by committee. Don't believe me?
Why are there so many types? Because every new design was pushed through a committee, that's why. Why do they all suck? Because there was never a unified vision of the product as a whole. Why is it dominant? Because the best designs don't win. Look at history: VHS beat Betamax, SD beat Memory Stick, (poor Sony, again) Windows beat UNIX, (ahem) git beat Mercurial, C beat LISP, (AHEM AHEM), static weak typing beat static strong typing, and the list goes on. There is a graveyard of good design in tech that lost for other reasons such as cost or eccentricity ((I'm ) (looking at you,) (LISP)). The most popular solutions to a problem are very rarely the best ones when it comes to design.
 
Design by committee in UX (that's hipster for User Experience) often looks like a row of checkboxes. (http://limi.net/checkboxes-that-kill/) Why should Firefox allow the end user to fuck their web browser so easily? Simple, they shouldn't. An otherwise enjoyable web browsing experience can turn into an OH SHIT WHAT IS THIS UNIDENTIFIABLE COFFEE-NAMED LANGUAGE FLOWING ACROSS MY SCREEN in the click of a button. Should that be possible? The UX designer would say no. For advanced users, disabling JavaScript by default has its benefits, (I use NoScript, it's the right thing to do) but for everyone else it's baffling. 
 
As you use your stuff, think to yourself about the choices the developer made when creating the app and ask yourself "does this interface make sense?" If you find yourself answering "no" to that question quite often (and you're using Windows, not Mac) then congrats, you have a knack for UX design. You could be the next Steve Jobs or even the next Tog! (http://www.asktog.com)
 
I know there are at least a few people on this forum who care about design, and I appreciate the (slight) redesign. The typography is good. I think thread titles would look nice in an informal serif, perhaps Garamond, @
 
(and yes, that was a LISP joke, for those who can appreciate that sort of thing. I suspect the number is quite small here on LTT.)
