Is the retina display on the Macbook Pro worth the extra $600?

[seanocono]

I love the Retina on my 15" MBP. After using it since June, I have a hard time looking at other screens. That's a really subjective question though.

Anybody try Phillips Hue?

Well worth it

Takes a while to get used to but excellent otherwise!

i like!…

Kinda neat.

I finally got an iPhone 5 today. I didn't think my 4 was that slow, but there's a big speed difference.

I use it on all my machines now. It makes a huge difference to using a computer at night, in my opinion. Shame they can't do a version for the iPad, that would be awesome.

definetly into the Icam concept

If you're willing to jailbreak, they've actually developed it for iOS.  I use it on my phone and iPad and love it…

[michaeljcr]

Sadly, I don't fancy jail breaking the iPad, especially as it's still under warranty. I bought a blue light kilter to use at night on the screen. No idea if it helps, as it only arrived today.

@Finn666:

anyone ever had a problem (iphon4) with losing their whole address list, just cuz of a dead battery?

battery was dead, charged it and as i´ve turned on the phone again, my whole address list was gone
pics and everything else is still on it though…just my address list! wtf?...

happened afuckinggain!

Finn, turn on iCloud syncing, you'll never lose your contacts.

[Giles]

I think Finn could still manage too.  When it comes to tech, he has the opposite of the Midas touch….

[Finn666]

all contacts restored…1.5hours, by hand!

iCloud sync turned on...hope this will solve my problem, like 4fuckingever! if not, I'll dump the iPhone!
having a HTC one X as back up...

[unharmed]

I have a One X. If you're going to use it as a backup, make sure you have the charger handy (or a spare battery). Battery life is abysmal.

[Finn666]

thanks for letting me know mate!

back to apple though…
first time (don't know why) I'm trying to back up from the iPhone and it says that I only have 5GB iCloud space free to back up my shit! have pictures of almost 11GB alone on it...is it "normal" that one is able to actually buy more iCloud space if needed?

sry for the noob question y'all
