...you know what i mean. In  computer terms. DIY means components. Where you can rely on yourlself to do something useully done by company employees

Apple was the first major PC (Personal Computer) maker to use EFI...they don't use BIOS and their EFI is largely not user configurable. Apple relys on uniformity, no tweaking for you. its not an overclocking lovers computer. Its the average man and professionals

...nowadays. Many regular comptuers still do but a good portion of companies if not close to all have a computer right now with no removable battery switch.

It didn't. Take for example that a company X has a 5%(its huge, just for example) failure rate. They make 100 units, and thus 5 will have problems. Out of those 5 that they replace, say 4 of them complain or make it known online. Now you have 5 borken units with 4 reports online. 

That company then expands and now they have a 4% failure rate but with 1000 units. They now have 40 failed units and 30 make it known online that their units failed.....what happened? Company X now has a lower failure rate than before(usually the failure rate is very low, so an even lower number is awesome) but you now read online that there are quite some posts of people with these "problems". Did something change? No. For example the purple tint in the new iPhone 5. People thought there was one as some people just noticed it, and knowing that there was a saphire glass now(some did) blamed that the iPhone 5 has a purple tint issue when pointed at the sun. Consumer reports did a test...there was no problem, every phone produces the same effect and the iPhone 5 has no problem with it. What happened? With a tremendous more people, many dumb, people noticce and nit pick the small stuff and as there are so many, they will post it online so when the next person looks, there will be stuff online. This is what happens usually, now you are educated on what happens. This deals into user error. This also applies to THINKING that more units are breaking when that is just not true. More are adopting and using it and thus more info and amount of posts will be generated on it, even if the process has improved two fold.

It isn't happening fast but as this is Apple and Intel that developed it, they could care less(they do but you get me), nothing is based or holding onto this standard, and whether they like it or not, Intel with its ultrabooks program and Apple is pushing for it. Big players, even if someone comes up with something else, with Intel supporting Thunderbolt and the new largest ocmpany in the world co making it(made) and using it on all their devices and a new cable called thunderbolt. It would be hard for it to not be popular....

Well, the 1GB and 2GB isn't that much difference in price. I'll see about it

LOL

What text? You mean "Designed by b1o2r3i4s5"?

The Obj2 has mounting holes..... silly me.

Can you give me the specifics of the wall wart. I have a local place that can get me some, tmmrw :) Like what size plug, and very specific specs 

Input Voltage: 100~120 VAC

Output voltage: 12 VAC

Max output current: 1A (what I'm going with for now, just to be safe)

Output connector: Standard 2.1mm DC Connector

Ok, the iMac IS pretty amazing.

but the retina is still going with the same port config?

Have they not realized how stupid it is to have 2x thunderbolt + 1x HDMI? Your average consumer won't even touch the thunderbolts....

I'm still wondering if it means I can plug 3 external monitors to the retina to give 4 screens total 

Guess what? That's what people said about Flash, that it would be stupid not to have it. Guess who killed Flash?

Thunderbolt is vastly superior to HDMI. But yes, as a consumer descision, it is ...weird but this is Apple. They have ideas. They want to change the industry.

Their thunderbolt allows for daisy chaining MANY displays or storage together granted that they have their own power.

Yes you can, AND still have Thunderbolt Storage External drives AS WELL. Its 10Gb/s BOTH UPSTREAM AND DOWN. 

iMac:

Price? Same price of $1299 starting at complete with Apple touchpad Magic Mouse and wireless keyboard.

Spent an hour tinkering around instead of doing homework again..

side-by-side comparisons; mostly for myself lol

Well I don't really mind the thunderbolts, but it's just that nothing uses the thunderbolt and tonnes of stuff uses the USB...

Ill be heading to Jaben hk to see if I can demo the UE900, Fitear MH334, MH335, TO GO! 111 and JVC HA-FXT90.

The JVC HA-S500 is STILL only selling in japan....  I wanna try dem carbon nanotubes....

The hair is good in #3 but the body coloring is good in #2. Combine them. #3's hair and #2 everything else
