I watched the first season of Sillicon Valley, it was good.
I still can't believe that they thought a laptop with 1 port was a good idea.
Sadly it looks like apple are starting to do what they did when jobs wasn't there with the 50 different product lines.
I think they have like 5 imacs now. Remember when it was just 2 different screen sizes?
Kiwi, why not completely take out the background and have a spinning red pepper? :v:

Unless you're going for that eventually etc
[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;48189861]Jony Ive is just fine with Steve Jobs as a filter to throw the ultra crazy stuff that would never work out the window. Unfiltered however, and with Cook's elimination of Scott Forstall, who was arguably similar in behavior to Jobs...ehh.

Plus the high-end and server stuff has really gone down the shitter too. If Phil Schiller were on top I doubt that'd happen.[/QUOTE]
i always liked phil, it seemed like he really did give a shit about the pro market -- it wouldn't be totally unfair to call him the father of the mac pro (06)
Would it be better if the background had nothing and the upright pepper was a frame instead?

all they have are a few preset variations of the 21 and 27 inch imacs, which they always had essentially, and the 5k imac, which is only going to be a thing for this little chunk of time, and also imac with vesa mounts but that doesn't really count does it?

They're hedging bets that it'll turn out like the MacBook Air and how it lacked an optical drive in 2008. Then it seemed crazy for them to do, but by 2011 it turned out to be a good bet. I'm not sure the same can ever be said for having just a single USB type C port. Sure being wireless is cool and all but if you want speed and low latency, you're going to want wired. The fact that [url=http://store.apple.com/us/product/MJ1K2AM/A/usb-c-digital-av-multiport-adapter]the adapter for the ability to have power, an external monitor, and a regular USB thing such as a keyboard or mouse costs $80[/url] (or more if you want to plug in even more shit) is crazy. Apple really should slash the price of that thing to $50.

But if Cook decides one day he wanted to quit or something sidelined him, I'd love for Phil to be the one next in line.
why not just do a 64 x 64 version of the pepper spinning around in an 80x160 canvas

I would have thought those would be better off as customization options rather than a completely separate model imo.

they aren't separate models, they're just preset spec variations for a few hundred dollars more, which have always been there

IT IS DONE
Thanks for the new avatar, i'm off to challenge postal
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48189993]pepper is now beautiful[/QUOTE]
make it spin in the third dimension buttmunch
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48190030]and become a hipster like you!?
no[/QUOTE]
if i had access to after effects right now i would spin like a record but also on the x and z axis
i could probably find a video of cristina spinning in a circle if i gave enough of a damn
she may be in her 40s but she's still a child at heart :v:

More superior.
I don't know if I'll ever change my avatar

Just like I had the Anne Hathaway one for so long before this one, your avatar becomes what people recognize you by
Remember the hoffening?
Always have a backup..
i never got the whole recognize people by their avatar thing
i just recognize usernames, even on a huge forum like fp

my 80x80 avatar survived it.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48190163]maybe we could spin LimEJET too[/QUOTE]
I do my own gifs. Made this guy myself too.
Besides, I'd want the turbine to spin along its axis. I don't think just rotating the texture would look very good.
Also hi. I can't sleep, the sun is up and I have work in five hours. Woo.

I'm pretty sure I either had that one or the santa hat variant (which I can't find) when I got gold, and had maybe one or two interim avatars before switching to this

Which eventually evolved into this

and then we got double height avatars and I switched to my current
Who would I be without ameribacon?
What would be the cheapest (including used parts) way to upgrade an AMD FM2+ computer to play EVE?
I have this thing with a painfully slow AMD X2 340, 4GB RAM and an ATI HD4650 and want to get it to basic gaming status. The GPU is definitely going to go but I dunno what the current cheapie is.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48190297]Oh so thats what the creepy face came from in your current avatar traffic[/QUOTE]
Yep, I had that avatar for years so I thought it'd be good to have a nod to it in my new one
A 760k and a used 660 for $100.
i like to have design/something i like in my avatar or a decent looking girl (not that i don't like those), we have enough anime girls running around
I used to use random shit for a while, including other people - I remember a rather perfect moment where I jumped into a SH thread (I think it was "In The News" at the time) about gay stuff and said a rather gay thing. The perfection comes from using this as my avatar:

Then one day I uploaded Cristina just because she's always been someone I've looked up to, and everyone started cracking jokes like "OH GEE LAVACANO LIKES CRISTINA SCABBIA NEVER WOULDA GUESSED". I've been rolling with it ever since :v:
I actually had a sipwicket vote to help me decide which avatar to use since I made about 6
This was the close runner up
