a few years later and airmac still doesn't seem to work. Trying to run it using iOS 7 and macOS 10.9 mavericks. Seems the open source program hasn't been updated in a long time...

I was the chief retoucher for all US Dell retouching for 3 years. Naturally I used a mac. Not just any mac but at my home office I used a 24 inch iMac- the old high end iMac before the 27.

I am 43 and I make a nice 6 figure salary from home retouching on my computer. I ordered the newest 27 inch iMac and upgraded everything via build-to-order except the 32Gigs of RAM which I got elsewhere. (plugs in to rear slots in mere seconds unlike the 21 inch version) With a 3TB fusion drive, super fast 32GB RAM…

I found the book boring in high school. Reread it last year and it is now one of my favorite books of all time! The book is almost written in prose. People just can't write like that anymore. Go read it!

Hey, I agree you are not me and if you have time to build computers that is a great hobby. I went to technical school and used to build circuits and use oscilloscopes, etc... It is great to understand electronics. My lifestyle at my age just doesn't give me that kind of time anymore. I am a photo retoucher in NYC…

It is too bad that really loud annoying new age soundtrack can't be disabled every time you run the new Google Maps. It really gets annoying!

haha, thanks. Man did I receive a crapload of responses to my post! I should have explained that I have a boner about 90% of my evening sleeping next to my hottie wife who is usually too tired for sex, but in the mornings I simply don't get morning wood anymore. I am still fully functional in every way! I am glad only…

because people are generally morons.

what is more annoying is that these links you pasted don't work as actual links. Get on Gawker's case about their crappy comments system!!!

Hey man, this is the first post I've seen from this XKCD site. Gizmodo reposts like 3 links a day from Reddit!

so when I was taught that Einstein believed that gravity is like putting heavy balls on a sheet and that heavy objects actually bend space time, which makes straight light rays APPEAR to be curving, that was wrong? Was Einstein wrong?

Well, that is an option for you already, isn't it. Personally my hourly rate for working at home is $100/hr. How many hours does it take you to research all the internal parts, and then to order them plus the operating system, and then how many hours does it take you to build the entire computer once all parts arrive,…

I can understand why you feel that way at your age. I am 43. Electronics just get cheaper and cheaper. The 32mb total DIMMs in my 840AV was over $900. Yesterday I ordered 32GB of RAM- 1000 times as much!!! And it was $150.

every study you will find has always concluded that Apple computers cost less than PCs running windows when you account for the total cost of ownership for the lifetime of the machines. Macs typically last 2 years longer than PCs which become outdated much quicker. For the last 10 years, apple products cost the same…

2 grand for a laptop is great. I once bought an apple 3400 for $6500. Just the laptop plus RAM! I once bought an aple 840AV for $8000, including the 24bit video card and a 21 inch monitor. At my job in 1990 I once bought an apple quadra 900 for $40,000. That included the adobe and quark software though... You must be…

True, true. But, I did order a 27 inch iMac this morning at 6am!

Hearing another dumb person has left the Apple community has made me decide for sure to order a 23 inch iMac tomorrow.

by keeping the phone in my front pocket, of course! The front pocket protects phones better than anything else, and bullcrap is one of the easiest things to wipe off although it does get stuck in my tiny speaker grill and headphone jack.

My hope is to find out why others are so incompetent or careless. Are we really a nation of slobs who can't take care of a fragile rather expensive piece of equipment?

Is everybody a slob?
