Framebuffer

Apple, please. Make it as thick as it is, maybe as thick as the 4 was if you're feeling like giving us a treat. Use the extra space to build on it a huge ass battery. Whatever else you were going to do, it's not gonna matter. Because we, the power user, will flock back to ya, in masses, if you build in a decent battery. Anything else will not matter, it's nothing revolutionary to ask. Just build in a decent battery in your phones and leave everything alone. Thanks. I swear to God, if they remove the jack I'm done with iPhones. I'm gonna hold onto my 64GB 6 for as long as I can.

Charmander, because yes. I also tagged him so it doesn't get lost okay, but seriously, that tag is gonna last less than, idk, the habit of putting em on my PC's?

My personal view: In an attempt of upgrading my old ass PC and trying to be platform agnostic along the way, I got a Mac. Since it was the most powerful computer I could find in my awesome awful country for less than US$700, and because I'm curious I decided to give them a go. So far, they've been extremely helpful for my most of my workflow (basically lots of Photoshop, AutoCAD, SketchUp, VM's and light gaming). All the creative work I did was a bit more of a breeze on my Mac than on Windows, but IMO it's not worth the switch alone. Stuff like Alfred, TextExpander, Day One (which I use for my design process, nothing useful for most people) made me stay. If you do tons of creative work, it's a match made in heaven. But, for most of the stuff people here do, like gaming, programming and other heavy tasks, you either get a sweet deal or pass. It's not a magical unicorn of a computer, but it's a very well though out experience. The bad side is the fact that you probably might have to still use Windows apps. And that can go either of both ways: you Boot Camp or you VM. Boot Camp on older Macs is an absolute royal pain in the ass to get working without a DVD drive, and since I got mine swapped for my old mechanical HDD, basically I was rekt. VM's are fine unless you want something like simulation software running, which is always gonna run slower than if it was running on the host natively. But, if you're willing to try a switch, you must do it with a clear mind, without any preconceptions. People say Macs as underpowered, overpriced, crap, but like anything in life, new things should be tried for what they are and not what the rest thinks. They're overpriced for 80% of use cases, but if you need a dependable machine that is well built and you don't want to think about it anymore, that has extra stuff like AppleCare and an ecosystem that works with it, then go ahead. But if you need the best bang for the buck (and you don't want to go used like me), build your own or get a laptop. They'll work either way. For those wondering, the specs are: MacBook Pro (early-2011, 15") Intel Core i7-2720QM 2.3GHz 16GB RAM AMD Radeon 6570M 1GB Samsung 850 EVO 256GB + 750GB Hitachi HDD

Got an account months old and never bothered to say hi, so hi!

It's the thing that's makes GPU's remember things... well not quite. I was going through that moment when you think your username is stupid and you want a new awesome name, and just it happens that I was into the old SGI/IRIX stuff at the time. Going through the list of things that they excelled on and had cool names, I heard they had nice frame buffers. Oh cool, "Framebuffer" sounds nice, but I betcha that name's taken everywhere (one-word usernames are as scarce as . Turns out it's not! It's geeky, sounds cool, easy to read and remember, and it's not taken everywhere i have accounts in. Perfect!
