I've always been a PlayStation guy, myself. There have been times I've toyed with the idea of picking up a 360, but most of the people I know have either stuck with the PS3 or migrated to it.

As for the hackers, guys like geohot and the backlash that ensued as a result of - should this really be a result of such - goes both ways for me. I get the idea of 'hacking / unlocking' the PS3 but with that comes some **** I don't agree with. Yeah, I steal music and download the occasional movie. But, in turn, I support app Devs and game sales. The idea to try and lock down the jailbreak is done for the whole picture. It sucks they removed the other OS feature, but that was done for a reason. I can understand it. It sucks, but I am hardly up in arms over it. But, as a result of the original hack, you have people ruining online experiences for others for their own amusement. In that regard, much like game piracy, is bull****.

It's interesting though. It's also funny, I feel at least, that I condone downloading music, and occasionally movies, but hate the idea of people pirating games or apps. I dunno.
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
I can't get behind music piracy...but most of the stuff I listen to is small label Indy stuff...not exactly multimillionaire industry hacks. I will gladly give them my money. I also don't by albums online if I can get it at Waterloo (a local shop).

OK, so I need some PC /Mac advice. I've narrowed it down to these 2: Mac 13 inch 2.7Ghz core i7 dual core, 500gb Hard drive and 4GB ram, Intel intergrated graphics --OR -- Dell xps 15: 2.2Ghz core i7 quad core , 750gb harddrive, 1080p screen, blu ray drive, 8gig ram, 2 gig nvidia 540 graphics. They cost the same price. I really want the Mac but the dell looks so good. Is OSX worth it? Thanks for ANY feedback.

Cheers
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Dell, hands down
[EVO 4G General] Anphase:
Wow that was fast thanks! I really want to want the Mac but I'm struggling with it. I've been reading Mac blogs etc for a while now and I was hoping to transform from a PC guy to a Mac guy...but I can't. Can't help thinking the Mac is a dumb idea... Dell it is. Cheers
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Yeah, I get you on that. I've known some people that are in some pretty small market groups and in that case I would gladly support. I don't download ALL my music, but most of the time I do - honestly, no shame. I guess it mainly started with that whole iTunes deal (yeah, I was one of them) and it was just such a joke that I couldn't take music I purchased from them and use it elsewhere. I know things have changed, and I have changed - I will NEVER use iTunes again as it is just a piece of ****ing **** hole **** hole garbage hole.

I do still buy music, but for the most part if there is something I want I just get it. As for the games, and the used games industry, I do what I feel is necessary and support. Much like the app market. I know it's a glaring contradiction but whatever. I have my reasons. I rarely watch movies so I don't even feel bad about that.

And, yeah, so many other options other than Mac's. Don't let people tell you they are the only top of the line options. Entirely untrue. People that cave and buy Mac's are giving in too easily. FACT.

Anywho;
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
To the_scotsman:

I...I think I love you... <3
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
It's cool, man. No real judgement over here. Music is just my thing, more so even than Android or other tech stuff. As much as I am on XDA, it is never at the top of my bookmarks (i have them auto-organised by most used...XDA is normally number 2).
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
I got ya. As said I still buy music, and still have a healthy collection, but there is just some **** I won't buy. I think most of my downloaded music hard to find reggae and everything hip hop, sans the records that have been passed down (reggae).

I think there was just a time when I thought buying anything I wanted, music wise, was complete bull****. Hell, I've bought Ad Astra (Per Aspera) records multiple times over and given em out for the sake of getting the music out there. Some **** just doesn't cut it. Like bedroom music. ;)

I dunno, I know it's a completely contradictory stance on the matter ... even I have to admit as much, but still. I dunno. I watch my shows at times, and for the most part I buy my DVDs. But as far as games ... I wouldn't dare trade my games in or buy used games. I get the idea of getting some monetary compensation for something you don't use, but when it comes to games and stores like Gamestop feed, and live on, used games sales ... I avoid that ish. If I'm over a game and don't want it in my 'collection' I will just hand it off to a friend.

But when it comes to haggard ass bands like Metallica *****ing about ****, yeah, that fuels my fire. Then again, the real issue is acquiring said music by illegal means and profiting off solicitation. I would never do as such, though.
[EVO 4G General] Papa Smurf151:
Get the dell then dual boot Mac osx on it
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Or don't. =P

If you want Mac OS X you get something that natively runs Mac OS X.

Else, **** that. And, honestly, **** THAT.

And there is good reason you don't even go down that road.

Apple is hype. No ifs, ands or buts.

Plenty of comparable, if not better, options.

That's like buying an Android phone and installing / dual booting iOS. Why?

If you're not happy with your current ish, be it Windows / Linux then, sure, go down that road. But, basically and essentially you either do or you don't. The people that do as such are nothing but confused.

If you want to dip your d*ck in that pool of toxic germ, then you might as go all out. What with the HW and what not. That is essentially what you are paying for, the HW and not the SW.
[EVO 4G General] Papa Smurf151:
I only say dual boot cause in my case when putting apps out for android and wanting to expand into ios it makes sense cause its easier to do ios apps on a Mac. In my case I built my PC then kicked myself cause I went amd and not Intel do I had to buy a mini Mac and spend more money.

On a side note one of my new favorite apps is called cozi family organizer. Check it out. Everyone can get for ios or Android and PC or Mac then u sign up on computer and set everyone's email address and a shared password then start entering dates of events in Calender, or to do lists or shopping(grocieries) and all of it is shared with family so u stay up to date and have little last minute date conflicts.

So I walk into a Sprint store today and play with the Nexus S 4G. Then I see the Wifi Xoom being sold as "Marconi Xoom":
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
hmmm. crazy. i had not heard anything about this.
[EVO 4G General] willdareal2010:
wow they have this at sprint now i got to get me one of these is it in texas or do u know
[EVO 4G General] willdareal2010:
product do u know if they r selling this worldwide or just where u at
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
The XOOM can be picked up nationwide.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
So...

Why in the hell is it called "Marconi"?

Did you ask any csr's about it?
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
No. I didn't even notice until looking back at the photo after I left.

And to the guy who asked where I'm located, I'm in NYC.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
lol! That's funny. Must have been a typo, their site got it right.

This bodes well for Sprint (not the typo, the xoom selling) :)
[EVO 4G General] atadres:
i think

that since motrola decided to release with vzw first that sprint said f U! n decided not to advertise it on ther enetwork as much
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
Well this one is Wifi-only. It was announced they would be selling it, from a while ago, but I don't think they ever decided a date. Again, this is totally stock, no Sprint branding on it or Sprint apps whatsoever. I looked everywhere on it.
[EVO 4G General] Telperion:
Given the wide distribution network of Sprint, even if it's not Sprint branded, Motorola is making a good decision to partner with them for retail sales.

Which EVO Should I Keep? Hardware Version 002 or 003?

I have had my EVO Hardware Version 002 Since it came out and have had it rooted almost a week later. I've installed countless ROMS and done all kinds of MODS to it and it works great as far as I am concerned. However I just got a hold of a second EVO Hardware version 003. It was Not Rooted. So I rooted it today and installed Cyanogen on it and it works seemingly like my 002 version.

Is there any benefit to either Hardware version that anyone knows of?

I tried looking for answers here, but could not find much. Any useful info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Essentially, no.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
Not really, other than say if you have an 0004 vs an 0002, there's less chance of screen separation/light bleeding/etc. It's happened to me with my early 0003 and I got it replaced with a brand new white 0004. 0 problems, plus they started using Novatek screens again which don't wash out colors.
[EVO 4G General] Trentonhawk:
Thanks to those who helped me out so far. I think I am keeping my original EVO (002) and selling the 003 Version.

Thanks Again!
[EVO 4G General] Papa Smurf151:
Hold up everyone....Huston we have a problem. This is the off topic lounge....meaning um no evo talk in these parts. I'm sure nebs and Richard would agree here.
[EVO 4G General] evoman:
Along the same line what hardware versions came with the different screen versions? I think one was called Novec?? Dont quote me on that but it has max brightness issues with the latest rom leaks.

Thanks!!
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
0002s were mostly Novatek.

0003s were Novatek, but mainly Epson (they were running low on Novatek screen supply). Late 0003s have the newer camera.

0004s are Novatek and Epson, also have the newer camera.

Originally I had an 0003 Epson, then a refurb 0002 Novatek, and now a brand new 0004 Novatek. Novateks have a bluish tint when you first use them, but your eyes stop seeing that. The colors are noticeably more vibrant on them as well.
[EVO 4G General] Trentonhawk:
Sorry if I asked this question in the wrong place. I thought " A Place For All Things Random" meant that this was the proper place for this type of question.

[EVO 4G General] nicholaaaas:
keep dreaming on that one. i bet you think AC shoulda waited... but totally forgot what happened on stage three

in 1999 i was all for lance... then in 2000 he lost me when he gave Marco a "gift" which was an insult to him (i used to always climb in the drops cause Pantani did). he since said [during this years tour] "I didn't give gifts in my day"

then in 2003 when he crashed and claimed Jan attacked him cause he had to stand up and pedal to keep moving after lance and mayo went down in front of him

and AC as already won 3 even if he don't win 7 TDF's he will go down as a better stage racer than lance because he will also have many Giro's and Vuelta's to go along with his Tours

Hard to say this .. but ummm .. Can anyone qive me a quick lesson on WATTHE HECK is ROM, ROOT, RUU and everything else related to to my EVO.

You prove very good points and I do not disagree with you. Usually when people say that they can't stand LA and I ask them why, their only response is, "Well, because I just don't!" They fail to mention anything about il' Pirata and Mt. Ventoux http://www.active.com/story.cfm?STORY_ID=4181&CATEGORY=tdf2000_peloton&SIDEBAR=454&CHECKSSO=0 or about the "musette bag" incident on Luz-Ardiden http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaKR5iOCTts

You do have a point about AC, he is a d@mn good rider. That would be like me arguing that Cavendish is a horrible sprinter or Cancellara is a slow-as-h*ll Time Trialist. I just liked Lance's dedication to the tour and his "I'm going to win...period!" type of attitude.

I wonder what your response would be if I asked you, "Do you think he used?"

well yeah I've actually been a professional cyclist (been paid appearance fees at international sanctioned cyclo-cross races. been following cycling religiously since i was about twelve

do you really think you have to wonder and I'm not gonna give my opinion? of course I think he's dirty. Everyone else in that ear that was winning was dirty and he was THAT much better than them? people like to point out oh he had cancer so why would he risk it? but they fail to realise that he is still very close friends with his doctors that treated him; and aggressive medicines used to treat cancer are the same ones that enhance performance.

the money he "donated" to the uci--Pat and Heinz seem a bit confused about what, how much, and when

retroactive testing of his 1999 sample revealed traces of epo even thou those samples were supposed to be anonymous therefore no disciplinary proceeding could be opened

floyd... it's easy to brush him off with his past. but he alleged that Disc. was selling their bikes for drug money and Johan did admit that they did sell bikes. so at least one point has merit. so what else does?

it's all circumstantial evidence... but it's a lot and too much to believe. I didn't want to believe Pantani or Ullrich could be dirty but I'm resigned to accept the truth. but I won't believe that Lance clean was THAT much better than them dirty.

BTW did you ever see the Pantani movie? It's all in Italian with no sub-titles... but you know the story so you don't really need them. Kinda like when I want a bootleg version of Kill Bill with no sub-titles cause I'm too lazy to get the dvd

im about to pick up a 63 chevy pickup... but the bed is waaay to far gone to save and i cant decide if i want to find another bed or make a super nice ceader/angle iron flat bed

pics of 63 chevs:

ive never seen one with a flat bed like what im wanting, but the truck will be just as low as the two pictured

the flat bed would be built using fresh 2" x 6" ceader slats from a local timber mill, prolly using T shaped Stainless steel spacers the would wedge in between the slats (with the top of the "T" showing on top of the slats) and the outermost edges would be surrounded by an 2" Angle Iron frame (welded by me, attached to the slats using Round headed Lag bolts)

i just cant decide...

P.s. im with you on the TDF thing... i know nothing about it but i still like reading their convo
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Hmm you're right, tough call.

If its going to be a show piece then I would say find another bed, the truck in the top pic is dead sexy.

If its gonna be your daily then I would put the personal touch of the DIY cedar plank platform. My gut reaction when I started reading was DEFINITELY build the flat, that would be super cool, like a work/show truck.

But when I saw your pics I think a case could be made for either.

Cool hobby ;)
[EVO 4G General] dmc971989:
lol... i have 4 vehicles and they are all **** boxes...

but im heavily leaning towards the cedar Flat Bed, just because im pretty good with wood work... and ive never seen another one like it

even if i went with the flat bed, i wouldnt alter any mounting points for the regular bed if i ever decided to switch back
