Looking to get a single portable induction cooktop since I am tired of cooking on the crappy electric stove in my apartment. I have several cast iron pans that I use so there should be no problem switch. Anyone have any suggestions? Do a quick look, there seems to be the HC version (at $1,800) but maybe I don't need quite that much precision. It is very tempting though! https://www.brevilleusa.com/collections/commercial/products/the-control-freak?variant=34041893841 There is also one for $60 that they recommend here: http://thesweethome.com/reviews/best-portable-induction-cooktop/

Just ordered the new 10" ipad pro, looks sweet! I have the 12" ipad pro and always want it to be a little smaller. Happy they finally have the new iMacs out. I'll be ordered one soon.

Sorry Todd.

Happy birthday Brent!!!

It was amazing last night and this morning for breakfast! It's good to have friends that like to bake! Thanks for all the on time, late, and on time on average birthday wishes! Went to a post celebratory dinner at a new restaurant (Riel) and saw Arthur Miller's "A View from the Bridge" tonight. Now I have to get back to work unfortunately. At least I have some bubbly to keep me company.

Thanks guys! Had a great night with some nice wine and homemade lemon birthday cheesecake (and friends)!

That T2 looks sweet!

Indeed!

The only reason I didn't make it to BBQ with Nate. Pre-birthday celebration at The Pass. Fantastic!

Wish I could've gone with you!

I would definitely try to find a used NAD M51.

She has a phone. I was under the impression that a camcorder would be much better especially if you want to zoom.

That does look pretty nice but might be slightly out of my price range.

My niece wants a video camera for her birthday. What should I get her? She already takes a lot of videos with her phone (has been for a couple of years) but wants something a little more professional. She originally asked for a camera but is mostly interested in videos. She's turning 15 but is pretty careful with her stuff. I assume a dedicated video camera will be much better than a DSLR? What about this? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1109405-REG/panasonic_hc_v770_full_hd_camcorder.html

Cool! I hadn't thought of this. I can't use my JH13s without taking off the case so this will be really useful.

The battery on my 5 was also on its last life so I got the SE and it is a nice phone. I like the size. The sound quality on the SE is decent but I haven't compared it to the Touch or 7.

No, it was not.

Not interested in getting another laptop. I'll try hooking up the Macbook I have (which is the current model) to an external monitor for now and waiting for the iMac Pro.

Ok, I guess I assumed that it would come out at the same time as the new "non-pro" iMacs and people are saying October for that. https://www.macrumors.com/2017/04/06/imac-xeon-e3-64gb-ram-amd-late-october/ What kind of timeline have you heard? One where I can get it in my office before June 31? My computer is so slow right now that I am using my Macbook almost all the time in the my office. I suppose I could just hook that up to an external monitor. I don't want to lose the computer money though.

Yes, in October.

I really need a new office computer, my Mac Pro from 2009 is so slow and it is slowing down my productivity. I have money from the University towards a computer but need to use it by June 31, 2017. I was hoping that Apple would update the iMacs and then I would get one. But it looks like they won't be out until October and I can't wait that long. What should I do (besides buying a Windows machine). Thinking of this setup:

Would love to play the new Zelda but have no desire for a portable system.

The reciever I have (SR6005) supports this. http://us.marantz.com/us/Products/Pages/ProductDetails.aspx?CatId=AVReceivers&ProductId=SR6005

I tried but it didn't quite work. Maybe I need a new HDMI cable from the tv to receiver. Would that create a lag in the audio? http://www.gamesradar.com/how-to-watch-4k-video-on-ps4-pro-with-netflix-amazon-and-youtube/ That is true. I guess I need to look more into getting sound out of the TV to the receiver.

I read that the PS4 Pro does streaming in 4K through Netflix, etc (although the selection is limited).
