I bet the glossy black really makes the ROD pop in contrast.

"Internal components that are changed: two small fans changed into one large fan for quieter operation, 45nm integrated CPU and GPU"

I have always wanted a lightsaber bread knife. You could cut the bread without smashing it, and toast it at the same time.

Dirty sky is the mark of a bad HDR image. Also, excessive glow.

@tande04: Read National Geographic in the Zinio app on the ipad and you will change your mind.

@squishyalt: Most people don't even have the 3G version. It will work just fine on couches, in offices, colleges, and hotels across the country.

I just came here to see how creative people would have to get to come up with things to complain about.
