It's pretty fun.

Where did you get one and for how much?

Got it at dick smith at $319. $2 more than JB and around the same price everywhere else, with the added bonus of not being sold out everywhere. :P

Gotta say I love this form factor. Perfect for comics, books and manga, not amazing for magazines but still pretty good. Love the iPad in concept but thought it was always too big and bulky, but this is perfect for portable media consumption.

I recently bought a car detailing and paint protection kit. The dealer wanted 750 dollars o.O so I said I recon I could do it myself for a lot less.

Cost for all of the stuff, $220 from CCP and I could do 2-3 cars :ninja: Dealers are so bs sometimes. So... two years protection could cost me $900 from you or... I could have 3 years protection for $220 dollars. hmmm.

Ph Neutral car shampoo (I had armor all but I read its spec sheet and it wasn't PH neutral)
Nanolex 'nanotech' shampoo
Detailers clay bar kit (I didn't know wtf this was till I did research)
Premium nanolex paint protection kit (cleaner + sealant + applicator + 2 microfibre towels)
extra large waffle weave microfibre towel

I already have the two required buckets, and a microfibre cleaning mit.

A trackball with a 100% premium on LIBERTY, FREEDOM and JUSTICE

Because I don't have a desk.

For all their HIGH QUALITY AMERICAN DESIGN (note: I do like the trackball), one wonders why their logo doesn't have clearly, superior and then tracbkall lower. They could easily do it by rearranging the letters CST.

This double-CD of Maiden classics - and newer tunes - may have upset a few of the faithful for the video editing on the DVD, but the sonics are sublime.



There are a couple of guitar licks in that tune that are on par with anything I've ever heard from Maiden, but the whole album brings a new energy to their studio efforts. I' have a couple of earlier live Maiden albums, and this is every bit as good, IMO. As Molly used to say 'Do yourself a favor !' :D

Does anyone think this is a good deal:

SONY NEX5NDS Twin Lens Kit 16.1MP Silver, $799 Free Shipping

Apparently the Canon EOS M is out soon which may be better.

Looks alright to me. I have no interest in the M despite having lots of lenses.
Need more DACies!

Yeah it's pretty tempting. The manual controls are accessed through the menus so hopefully that isn't too cumbersome.
Going o/s soon so perhaps could claim the GST back as well.

Hows win8 compatability with your music hardware? I use it on my X61T now. I really like it. In my opinion it's the best job windows has ever done with an operating system .

Firewire? Or do you just use pci/pcie gear?

USB for my audio actually. Novation Nio 2/4. Win 7 drivers work exactly the same in 8 as they did in 7. Only other thing I use is an APC40 which also works exactly as intended (from the short play i've had so far).

There are some mixed reviews on the quality of the lenses so not sure..
Some say that the Sony RX100 would be just as good if you weren't planning on changing lenses.
Or should I just keep my Fuji F30 (6.3mp)? It's great in low light.

tricky from 250-300 seems it needs f8 but the rest of the focal length is superb, sad no L but L's are pricey :)

My first set of decent headphones in over 15 years, AIAIAI TMA-1 Studio w/mic, they are awesome.

Thanks Kit and all the guys at Headphonic for your invaluable advice.
