So there are reports out now that when tested by Consumer Reports the iPad 3 can reach temps of up to 116 F when used for extended periods. Anyone seeing anything like that? While not burning hot that's pretty toasty.

Yes, really, notice I don't give a shit? You 'seem' annoying, buhbye. P.s. That declarative enough for you?

This thread reminds me that I have a pound of bacon from a local pig at home that needs cooking. Damnit, I'm hungy.

You should strongly consider revising your posting habits.

Happy Birthday!

Heh, I just went and did the same thing to the same image... great minds and all that. Happy Birthday, Al. I know work has been a kick in the pants lately, but hang in there. I'll raise a glass or three to you tonight.

Thanks guys, I'm seriously flattered by all of the compliments. And certainly big congrats to Doug. I really appreciate the way that he's constructed ECP as a company and wish him every success. [edit]And yes Tyll, that's exactly what I was thinking when I read that!

Nice rig, Ric!

You are of course correct , it should be fixed now.

He continued the poor start so he can take a couple of weeks to ponder his return.

It wouldn't exactly be shocking if the new screen drew more power and was therefore less friendly towards laptop USB ports. It would be surprising if an iMac of any generation didn't have sufficient power to charge it.

Anyone have any recommendations for reasonably priced SDHC cards? I would like to pick up two for the D7000 and was just going to go with the usual Sandisk Extreme series but figured I'd ask first.

Hmmm this thread is now of great interest to me.

I think Comcast games the system with their initial burst speeds but I generally do get around 3MB/sec sustained speeds. It costs an arm and a leg though.

Happy Birthday Larry!

Happy Birthday!

The power stayed on but it was a big storm that went rolling through. There were a few huge boomers the shook the entire house.

The weather outside right now: thunder and lightning. Yes, it's fucking mid-march. Oh joy, the power just flicked on and off....

Glad to hear that Andrew is feeling better Todd. Best of luck with the toof, Haj.

Metallica - Master of Puppets (DCC 24k Gold Remaster) I still enjoy the hell out of this album.

Not necessarily a new supplier but I just got an update from these folks - http://www.metcaseusa.com/enclosures/combimet19.htm - with several new offerings. Running their online quote/price tool seems to show pretty reasonable prices. Not sure what their quality would be like but I may call and see what the chances are of getting a sample.

Even with a brother that works for Fuji I doubt it'd be worth it unless you just have to have something 1/2 the size of a DSLR. I wonder, really, how much larger it'd feel than my D7000 w/ a 35mm prime on it, for $1,100 more. Oh and I'd have a pop up flash if I needed one. And be able to get it to focus.

$2000, holy hell.
