    Roku's Product Line; $50–100. One advantage to Roku is that their products work with "virtually any TV." Apple TV is intended to work with HDTVs.
  2. 1992casey
    I was looking into that a while back and never really came to any conclusion. It seems to me that Roku is more customizable and offers more services while Apple TV is easier to use. It sounds like Apple TV would offer a major ease of use advantage if you use iTunes. If you own a Mac, as of OS X Mountain Lion (coming this summer), an Apple TV will wirelessly display your computer desktop on your TV. You could take home one of each and keep the one that you like better. And if you ultimately decided that you made the "wrong" choice, the prices are low enough that it wouldn't kill you to buy the other product. It wouldn't stop you from finding a use for your first device.

    I'd pay extra, but you might not. Neither choice would be wrong or poorly thought out. Besides getting the most current, I'd probably figure that the extra money would get me another year before being tempted to replace the thing. For someone else, the up front savings would be more important.

    $130, but who's counting. I tend not to worry about cores and such as long as the thing works. That information might be semi-useful for comparing iPad to iPad, but I don't see it being useful for comparing devices using different operating systems. If this were a traditional computer, I'd be more concerned about hardware specs simply because there'd be a number of choices.
  5. 1992casey
    16 GB iPad 2s will continue to be available at $399 (WiFi only) and $529 (3G). I don't think I'd be inclined to upgrade from an old iPad, but I'd certainly shell out the extra $100 if I were a first time buyer.
  6. 1992casey
    A new Apple TV model will be available next week. At $99, it'll be priced the same as the old model. This one features 1080p and a simplified interface.
  7. 1992casey
    Apple just announced that the next iPad will be available March 16. It'll be priced the same as the current iPad 2 line, and will: Feature a 2048x1536 pixel display. Offer 4G/LTE (separate models for Verizon & AT&T, but both will do international roaming). Act as a personal hotspot if supported by the carrier. Include a 1080p camera.

    After his All Star Season, the Pilots traded Mincher and Ron Clark to Oakland for Mike Hershberger, Lew Krausse, Phil Roof and Ken Sanders.

    MLB Gameday The game is televised on FS-WI and MLB Network. Based on my DirecTV program guide, MLB Network may be joining the game in progress. Lineup: DH Rickie Weeks CF Carlos Gomez LF Ryan Braun 3B Aramis Ramirez 1B Mat Gamel C Jonathan Lucroy 2B Brooks Conrad RF Norichika Aoki SS Cesar Izturis Join us in [chat]our new chat room[/chat].

    A couple more tidbits: The maximum capacity of the room is currently 100. That's a number that we've never come close to reaching, so we should be good with that. Along with that, members will be logged out of chat after 30 minutes of inactivity. Both of those numbers are "negotiable" once we see how the server takes the load. There's been no customization applied to LambeauLeap's chat as of yet. so don't be surprised if that room offers a "different experience." Customization will happen to that room once we've tried things out here at Brewerfan.
  11. 1992casey
    Just to add a bit of information… The only thing that's required for this chat is Javascript (NOT Java). Flash is optional. It's only required for sound. That means that people using iPhones, iPods, and iPads should be fine.
  12. 1992casey
    You'll find it in the navigation bar.
  13. 1992casey
    The MLB app is free this year. See SenatorShriv's post. Microsoft won't be supporting Flash (or any plugins) in Windows 8 Metro, and Adobe has dropped Flash for mobile devices. If a mobile OS wants to continue with Flash, it'll have to do it without help from Adobe.

    They're now unstickied. You can find them in row of links with the other FAQs. See attached image.

    Contracts aren't required for data usage on iPads. You can fire up a data plan on an as needed basis. Because the iPhone4S is the same phone whether one chooses AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint, I'd bet that the new iPads will offer that choice, too. That would mean that if you didn't like one provider, you could easily try another. Rooting (on Android) or jailbreaking (on iOS) gives you administrative access to the device's file system. It removes a lot of restrictions involved with using the device. On an iOS device, for instance, you can install software that doesn't come from the App Store. Rooting/jailbreaking does void one's warranty, however, I believe that warranty status can be restored by restoring the device to factory condition. In other words, you won't get any advice or support from the manufacturer if you root/jailbreak. Rooting/jailbreaking also removes some of the built-in security on these devices. You become responsible for your own security. As an aside, the word "rooting" can be offensive to Australians if used in the right wrong context.

    For what it's worth, links to our various profile preference pages are "generic." We can paste them into posts, and they'll work for everyone who's logged in. The system simply applies the link to the member who's using it.

    With the last two iPads, there's been a gap between the announcement date and the launch date. Either way, we'll see an iPad 3 soon, though. We'll know a lot more on Wednesday. I'm not sure that any tablet requires a significant outlay beyond buying apps. You'll probably want some kind of case. You probably don't need a keyboard, but they're available if you want one. An iPad should work with any Bluetooth keyboard, but I'm sure that many fall in love with a particular "must have" model. If you're already a Mac user, OS X Mountain Lion (due this summer) will offer a lot more iOS integration. That might be a selling point for an iPad. As far as tablets with larger screens, I think that an iPad is as about as much as I'd want to hold in my hand. I bet chadomac has some specialized use in mind, though.

    "Log me on automatically each visit" is now checked by default when a member wants to log into Brewerfan. That should guard against "surprise" logouts. That change hasn't been made at LambeauLeap yet. It's possible that it could be decided to make all logins expire after a period of time (e.g. two weeks) if it would have a positive impact on site performance.

    The option is on the Edit posting defaults page. The normal way in would be to: Hit the "User Control Panel" link in the navigation bar at the top of any forum page. Hit the "Board preferences" link in the sidebar. Hit the "Edit posting defaults" link that appears underneath "Board Preferences."
  22. 1992casey
    Have you noticed if you're more likely to stay logged in if you check "Log me on automatically each visit" when logging in? I've had some unexpected logouts in Firefox / Mac, but at this point, I've attributed it to not checking that box. I've edited the topic title to cover the fact that hawing has observed this on devices in addition to the iPhone.
  23. 1992casey
    Did this change recently, or has this been going on since the board opened up? Input from other iPhone users would be welcome.

    Best chance for heavy snow is north of a Minneapolis to Green Bay line. Huge swath of 12"+ totals… Count me in on that. There must be a foot and a half out there.
  25. 1992casey
    It probably depends on the type of case, too. When doing a quick search I found stuff like polygraphs being admissible in civil cases if both parties agree but never in criminal cases. The main value of a polygraph is its use as an investigative tool rather than as evidence.
