  1. Re:Because of the Limited Lifespan? on Panasonic Announces an End To Plasma TVs In March · · Score: 1

    This x1000000. I also have a Panny Plasma. Best TV I've ever owned. Everyone I know who has a flat screen has a LCD. Everyone I know's TV's image doesn't even compare to my Panny Plasma.

    Because Panasonic plasmas are the standard, since Pioneer bowed out.

    I used the power search, though I added in the resolution, guess those monitors didn't list that. Those monitors you listed are awful spec wise. 1000:1 contrast ratio on the HP? A fucking joke. The $333 one says right in the description "*This monitor may contain up to 3~5 dead pixels, if you want no dead pixel, Please order perfect pixel model" LOL get real.

    I did just as you suggested searching newegg & tried searching pricewatch (though I hope never to use pricewatch again their search and interface is simply awful - can't even search by specific product features? no thanks.) There are a few monitors a marginally bigger resolution (2560x1600), however that extra 160 pixels is pretty insignificant. There are some generics I wouldn't touch with a 10' pole for under $1000. The cheapest name brand one is a Dell coming in at $1050 (on closeout from $1500), and its reviews are lackluster at best. The next step up in resolution I found was 2560 x 2048, fairly significant, however there's only one NEC display and it's a medical display priced at a cool $12000. The next step up is an impressive 3840 x 2160, very significant, only a single monitor with this resolution from ASUS, will run you a cool $3500.

    Dead wrong. No MacBook Air has ever had an i3 processor. Apple did use i3's in some iMacs back in 2010...and again in 2011 and 2013 on cost consious education only iMac models.

    Yes just ignore the security questions, then when you lose access to the AppleID it's naturally Apple's fault you didn't set up those questions.

    That could be said of anything that benefits anyone or anything... Point is Ireland sought companies out, they did it to themselves, regardless of whether it actually benefits them or not in the end.

    Actually it benefits Ireland greatly....They actively sought out Apple among other companies to have a presence there...

    Job, if you charge us tax we'll have to fire the two people that earn minimum wage for us in your country!

    Except Apple has a rather large presence in Ireland, not two people earning minimum wage.

    They do have poor retention, in normal usage situations, on many devices. Sometimes you have to jiggle it just right to get a working connection. Not all devices, but many. Not all MicroUSB connections were created equally.

    As compared to the Lightning connector. Hanging devices by connectors? Sounds like a terrible storage solution. Sure blade whatever you want to call it - the part that easily breaks off inside Micro USB connectors. You've never seen one, therefore it must not exist? LOL
