passthestripe, it's a good question.  have you tried a retina screen laptop in a store?  i think it's essential to do that before choosing which model to go for.  personally, after using the retina MBP i find it hard to use other laptops.

Once you've seen retina you won't want to go back. But after nearly bricking my old MacBook this week ill take anything new.

I had a look at the 13 retina, it did look great… But I couldn't justify the extra chunk of change so I just went with the 13 air.  Pretty happy with it, lovely piece of kit!

Now just trying to find a suitable and robust sleeve but not came across any, if anyone has any input then feel free to comment.

anyone ever had a problem (iphon4) with losing their whole address list, just cuz of a dead battery?

battery was dead, charged it and as i´ve turned on the phone again, my whole address list was gone
pics and everything else is still on it though…just my address list! wtf?...

Strange. Did you search for it using the search function? Have you tried a hard reboot? Have you restored from backup yet?

Is the retina display on the Macbook Pro worth the extra $600?

I love the Retina on my 15" MBP. After using it since June, I have a hard time looking at other screens. That's a really subjective question though.

Anybody try Phillips Hue?

Kinda neat.

I finally got an iPhone 5 today. I didn't think my 4 was that slow, but there's a big speed difference.

I use it on all my machines now. It makes a huge difference to using a computer at night, in my opinion. Shame they can't do a version for the iPad, that would be awesome.

definetly into the Icam concept

If you're willing to jailbreak, they've actually developed it for iOS.  I use it on my phone and iPad and love it…
