Interesting. I'm still dithering over which size MacBook Air to get (probably 13" as suggested), never mind different iPads!

Digitimes is full of shit 90% of the time

Take with a grain of salt

The biggest rumor now that's being floated by multiple outlets is that they want to release them on Jobs' birthday, February 24th. Given the sentimentality, I find this more likely.

Man, I'm such a rumor whore.

Anyone else tried the F.lux screen brightness software? It's great for resting those tired eyes!

want a better phone camera than the iphone 4 so thinking of upgrading to the 4S. Is the camera actually that much better?

[DougNg]

I never had a 4, but there are a lot of reviews on the web that say that the new camera blows the old one out of the water.

Actually, it's pretty much a universal opinion

The best review I've seen for the 4S is on Anandtech

More of a rant, but Apple related.

So I just finished a project for my brother's upcoming wedding using iMovie. That shit is so bugged it's unbelievable. It's honestly the first major issue I've ran into using an Apple product. I'm pretty shocked by it actually. I've been working on this for a few weeks and had I known I would have had this many problems I probably would have just bought Final Cut Pro or Premier Elements to save myself the hassle.

Finally got around to getting a new Back Cover for my iPhone 4G. Should arrive today. I hope it helps with the shitty reception issues I constantly have since breaking the original. And yes I have AT&T and know that it is a major cause of my woes.

Fucking thing came with a screwdriver and no screws. Back to the bay…

My Element Pro Stealth saved my 4S    from three foot drop onto a metal waste basket today. It bounced off, dented the basket and doesn't have a scratch on it. Cool…

I'd avoid the skins from them though

[michaeljcr]

Bought a new battery (£9.99) for a 3rd generation 20GB iPod to fit myself. The poor things been in a box for about 5 or 6 years, but I thought it would be fun to see if I can get it working. At this point it's practically an antique!

Alright…  who has messed with iTunes Match?

So far so good for me.  It's filling a gap for some stuff that Spotify doesn't have and allows me to upgrade some low bit-rate stuff I have.

[GimpKid]

I've used Match for a bit. Canceled my spotify cause I prefer the library set up of iTunes. Spotify kinda blows if you're gonna manage large selections IMO.

[nameness]

The thing I really like about Spotify is the social aspect and being able to hear stuff before I decide to buy it.  I don't listen to any of my iTunes stuff through it because yeah…  I have too much.  Once I hit the 25k limit on ITM we'll see what I do with Spotify...
