Last macbook pro I had was one from 2010 - Is there still

1) no way to turn that terrible start up noise off? (apart from the vol down - very inconvenient)

2) that horrible clunky trackpad that makes a horrible clunk every time you click it?

aaah so thats the real reason ebay won't let you

send email addresses through there messaging system. They saw it coming.

Best Products, Best services...

But massively overpriced and a horrible company.

Jailbroken apple tv2 is the best device out there right now. I have a piss3, obnox360 to compare to. No contest it wipes the floor with them. Just need firecore and xmbc or plex or what u like. millions of channels, some pirate for free.

is there ever going to be a service pack 2 for windows 7? With clean installs this is getting very silly

The register in comets closing down sale? Vulture central.

No Lens shift

either vertically or horizontally so no flexibility with the install...

its late/early but theres more info on this story here

Had iPad moved over to Galaxy Tab

Its all about form factor and weight for me - the galaxy tab is half the weight of the ipad and its form factor is the same as a kindle - so ok to hold in one hand. I returned the ipad after 1 week - way too heavy and akward for me and much more girlfriend friendly as can keep one hand on her!!!

I'm enjoying the galaxy so far - its nice to have another os to play with. The ebook reader on it is perfect (my kindle 3 is going to my better half) and I've not had any problems with it so far. I guess it depends on usage. I turned off the 3g so that has increased the battery life significantly.

I seem to be getting at least 7 hours out of it.

I use it on the sofa and next to the bed - the ipad was too big to do this.

Big phone? yes some of it might be but I'm getting old and can't look at my iphone 4 screen for too long! I like being able to browse the full websites and flash has been ok on it.

BTW I just noticed the tab has had its price reduced its now £399 at amazon. With price erosion like this it will be £200 come february!

Actually the AVR 4311 AV receiver
