I believe SkiBum232 is referring to Apples statements that the iPad Mini sold out some of their models already in pre-orders. Not that Amazon said they sold out the Kindle Fire HD

Except for the fact that Amazon has already admitted they take a loss on the sale of Kindle Fires. They recoup the money from their services none of which are free. Yes, they offer a 3 month trial membership to Amazon Prime with the purchase of a Kindle Fire but after that if you want access to "free" movies and tv…

UI was not part of the discussion. The discussion was about the availability of apps for the Mini would be greater because it has a greater screen size. My statement was that making that claim was idiotic because you would not find that many apps designed purely for the iPad by a third party and instead most of the…

You've made too separate statement there. One indicates a change in UI for the apps however the discussion is about apps in general, NOT the UI of apps. Twitter for my N7 is a bit different then for my phone but it's still Twitter. Games on the other hand can be developed for one form over the other but the popular…

You're correct on the camera being similar to the newer iPads. I wasn't looking at a comparison between all of iPads at the time of writing the above reply, but did so in a subsequent conversation and realized the mistake with the 4s. However, I don't think you could say that "Besides the processor the Mini is the…

Just because one person is an ass doesn't mean you have to be as well. As for a comparison on specs the iPad Mini does not have "more in common with the iPad3 then the 2".

You do realize that every difference you've named is simply for the camera right? Also, the camera is more closely related to the one in the iPhone 4s. When it comes down to tablets though what would you say matters more, the camera or the processor? The processor is the same. The camera is similar to the 4s's one.…

Considering that most of the popular tablet apps are still ports from the Cell phone versions your point is fairly moot. Also the same thing can be said going from an app designed for a cell phone being translated into a tablet app. Namely, that making the change to a 7" form is easier then scaling it up larger.

and continues with "There are exceptions." It names one version and then goes on to name the other variations. The title of the article is a definitive statement. The article does not provide a definitive answer. It provides one and then follows it up with not only concessions for storage and connectivity, both of…

So the "iPad Mini you should get" is basically any of them? I understand being biased and liking Apple products but come on. This is probably the first time that Apple has released a product that is fairly out dated already. Ok the latest iPhone wasn't anything special either but in an area where the competitors are…

I don't remember at all the advertising hinting at a "Genetic experiment" twist to the storyline at all. While I agree it does make more sense in modern times I think going that route completely changes the dynamic of who "Spider-Man" is as a superhero. As others have mentioned Peter Parker has become one of the most…

I'm confused about the lead story about the Honey Boo Boo family. They don't make $5,000 an episode. They make WELL over that. I don't remember exact breakdown but it already came out that the family makes $16,000 per episode. They get a $2,000 location fee for the house, $4,000 for the mom and Honey Boo Boo, and…

I'd have to disagree that if Samsung's lawyers knew that information then they could get in trouble. If I was a lawyer for Apple I wouldn't want that guy on the jury knowing that he has a score to settle because it can easily be used to show a tainted Jury. The past lawsuit I would have to say wouldn't bother me so…

They would have to call the cops. That is if I hadn't already called them for animal cruelty against the vet's office. If the article is serious that "Flea Bath" is code for euthanizing then I don't care how "Sensitive" something might be, when I go to a doctors/vet/dentist office and I tell them I want a certain…

That was my first thought. As long as the backspace is on the right hand side I'll be fine. It being on the left like it's shown is repulsive since every time I'd go to space my text I'd be erasing the last letter that I wrote. You'd think there would be an option for switching which side the backspace is since the…

So there's the PS3 fat and PS3 slim. Does this model become the PS3 anorexic?

My first thought was to hate this but then I held back because I knew that was stemming from my dislike that they are even going forward with a remake. After going back and doing a side-by-side with the old one I don't hate it. I don't like it either but it does keep in line with the esthetics of the original but…

The only problem is that Romero never wanted to use the term "Zombie" to describe his creatures. He has mentioned this numerous times and therefore "Romero's rules of zombie" doesn't actually exist. If I remember correctly he thought of his creatures closer to Ghouls then anything else. Using Romero's "Zombies" as a…

I saw McDowell at DragonCon several years ago and he mentioned the same sentiments there as well.

I have a bit of an issue with this article comparing an article from today with one from months ago. AT&T is making a special disclaimer and unless you've reached out to Verizon to get an official statement from them you can't really claim that they are going to force users to make a "Sophie's Choice" for the iPhone…
