  4. We're looking to add at least two people for now (in addition to Jhulud who is already one) If you're interested in helping out, please submit your name here, as well as a quick reason why you think you'd be good. We'll be choosing people by the end of this week, with input from Jhulud. Responsibilities will include monitoring spam/spammers/users who aren't playing around nicely, merging threads (if needed), renaming threads (if needed), and additional responsibilities. What we're not looking for are users who want to feel superior to others. We're just looking for members who want to help out and keep this community in good shape. Being a mod will not put you in a bracket above others.
  5. I'll change it this week. The Rudolph image was for the holidays.

  11. Yeah, anything Western Digital. They look nice, they're always on sale, and they work. I just got this one the other day - http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/wd-wd-my-book-4tb-usb-3-0-external-hard-drive-wdbacw0040hbk-nesn-black-wdbacw0040hbk-nesn/10223593.aspx (sorry about the Canadian link, in a hurry)
  12. This has been "rumored" to be happening for so long, I would take it with a grain of sale. Consider this, after two years of negligence, Apple finally delivered a modest spec to the Pro, despite rumblings of a new take on the product. Other factors working against are Apple's slipping commitments to their pro-sumer market. Logic, Final Cut Pro X, Works have all fallen by the wayside. Not abandoned, mind you, but Apple is clearly more consumer centric these days. Laptops are a different story, since Apple laptops sell better than anything in their computing space, so it makes sense that the Pro lines got a bit of an update, however, the 17" was cut since, again, Apple doesn't seem to care about Prosumer. Even if the Mac Pro were upgraded, so what? Honestly, I see their point. What's the market for them anymore? iMacs are powerful enough that they can do most of the work in a reasonable timeframe (hell, South Park Studios now does most of their work on iMacs). The Mac Pro is one of those relics I can't see a justifiable reason for. Yes, some will always require THAT kind of power. I just don't think Apple cares to cater to them anymore. Actually, I know they don't. Look at the poor Mac Pro. They're gushing about it because its the best... for now. If it was retina (when it goes retina) they'll be lamenting that Apple didn't introduce this change sooner. I agree the 27" looks nice - its what I use for my work. That said, it always struck me as a bit dear. The icons are a bit too small, websites always need to be zoomed in - which is kind of a pain since I design sites. A retina screen, which could return the resolution to a more manageable 1920x1080, although at 4x the pixel density, would be a dream for me. The best of both worlds. Either way, I wouldn't worry about it. You're gonna get a great computer with the iMac. I find they work great for 4-5 years before you might feel the need to upgrade due to emerging technologies and what not. You won't regret the purchase. Trust me.
  13. That's silly. The pixel count is irrelevant in this equation, it's all about how the picture looks when you're viewing it. As you've seen with the iPhone - maybe a retina iPad - the goal is to illuminate discernible pixels, creating a user experience that's more natural and less digital. Go look at the screen of a 15" MacBook Pro retina, then an iMac or MacBook Air. Apple confirmed what? The Pro model? Pro model of what? The iMac? Certainly not the Mac Pro, since it doesn't come with a monitor. And both MacBrook Pro's where upgraded to retina last year (the 17" was discontinued). Also what's full-screen retina support? Either way, yes, retina will cost more, now. Those prices will eventually come down.
  14. Hell, I run Photoshop, Final Cut, rdio, Chrome and Skype... at once on 4 gigs (late 2010 Core i5) Can't complain. Will I get 8 on my next upgrade, sure. Point is 8 gigs - more than enough.
