I've been using a 4S for about a month, now, and I must say that Siri is pretty convenient (when she fucking works) for doing things like setting alarms and reminders, checking the weather, and looking up movie info. Besides that, though, she's pretty useless, since she doesn't understand punctuation in text messages…

Woah, me, too.

Except my stepdad owned a Palm Pilot, which was the equivalent for the time.

You know, for $600, that's not too bad. You could still shave a couple hundred off, but that's really not a bad spot for how small and functional it is.

That other guy has the smartphone argument covered. What's wrong with x86 tablets? They do everything that a regular computer can do, but in an incredibly portable form factor.

But it won't be as small as an actual Mac Mini, which I assume is why people buy Mac Minis. I assume.

While I'll admit that many iOS apps/games are finally ending up on Android, there are still things like Infinity Blade and the like that aren't going over to Android, for whatever reason. I got my iPhone as part of a process of finding which smartphone works for me, which brings me to your other statement.

My online alias is AROAH, standing for "Almighty Ruler of All Humans" (because I was a retarded kid), so now I name my computers "AROAC," ("Almighty Ruler of All Computers"), "AROAMac" (for when I had an OSX partition on AROAC), and other such silly things.

This is something almost everyone overlooks when they buy things digitally. Everything you buy digitally (typically) is just a license. You don't own any of your Steam games, your Xbox Live Arcade games, your Kindle books, your iTunes music, etc.; you own conditional licenses to download copies of the licensed…

I bought an iPad 2 for $300 from Amazon, threw an OtterBox case on it, got bored with it, and re-sold it for $400, making a $20 profit, in the end.

I rather liked WinMo 6.5, myself. Never used Symbian, though. Also, why didn't you just reply to that guy's comment?

I currently have an iPhone 4S after going through the original HTC Evo 4G and then a Nexus S, and I have to say that while I like that I have all of the awesome games and dedicated apps that I have, I wish I could go back to Android without losing them. I hate how limited I am in what I can do with my phone, and since…

More and more I wonder why I even bother reading anything this website posts.

"Who wanted a tablet before the iPad?" Me, when I saw all of those Windows laptops with the flip-around screens. "Who gave smartphones a second thought before the iPhone?" Me, and everyone else who liked Blackberries.

You said "small things in the $1000-$10,000 range." Those are purchases around the range of a car. You have a different outlook on money than many other people, including myself.

Don't ask me, ask everyone who raised me.

I just run the cable through the inside of my shirt, looping the individual headphone cables over my ears to keep them in place. Not only does this work for when headphone cables aren't the same size as others, but I also don't have to spend $5 on a button that only goes in the button-down shirts that I don't wear.

If you're not gaming or video editing, you don't need anything better than HD 4000. Maybe if it were HD 3000, I'd kind of understand, but 4000 is good enough to run many games at least decently.

Privilege of what? Enjoying how dead-simple it is to build a Hackintosh, nowadays?
