I was out trying to buy a replacement Apple 85w portable power adapter for my brothers laptop. No luck.  Nobody in town sold them and I was told that the model I had doesn't even work with modern Apple products.  It has the date 2006 so it can't be that old.  Model is A1172, I'm going to see if I can get it on Newegg
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yeah, I finally found the damn thing.  Over 80 bucks.  Fuck that noise.  I could find an IBM compatible device that does the same thing for half that price.

Somehow my family went from "lets not spend very much on each other for Christmas", to spending $1000 on electronics during Boxing Day sales.

I picked up a ginormous 27" computer monitor - the missus picked up an iPad.

It's a nifty device from what I've played with it.

I like that the latest update of iTunes auto-hid the sidebar that shows my library. I couldn't remember what it was called and got to spend sometime searching for it. :rolleyes:

Fun fact for the fanbois (from the Economist): markups are so high on ipHones that even though they only constitute 18% of smart phones sold, Apple got 86% of total profits from smart phones.

I think I'm going to treat myself and buy a new iPod Touch to replace my '09 "fat" iPod nano.   :cool:

Apple products are definitely a lot more refined than any of their competitor's products.  They realized that most people don't like to endlessly fiddle around with gadgets, and just want them to work perfectly out of the box.  My concern is that in the long run, Android is going to win out when it comes to software support, just like PCs won out over Macs.

HBO Nordic are already focusing on Android and leaving the iPhone with a meh-ish app, and not even trying to pretend to be making an Apple TV app.

WEll, with my "found" bonus money from the recent company switch, I went and bought a 32GB iPad.

What awesome games must I get for it?
