I remodeled a bit, and added my 360 to my setup, and also made it so I can watch TV on my pc now:

I'm actually a Technology Designer, I have multiple different roles ranging from shaping and molding the direction of a companies deployment of Apple products down to some Research & Development work. As with most things Apple, I'm a little secretive with my exact job responsibilities as it allows me a bit of mystery! ;) Needless to say I do get to play with some things that don't exist outside of the reality distortion field right now (hence the shut down screen on the left) and can say without a doubt that I love my job! :)

Must be nice to love working for Apple. My dad hates that place so much at times. 10-16+ hour days with no over time and 2 hours of commuting = no fun.

:| nice setup man. What kind of camera are you using to be able to take such a panaramic picture?

The camera is a Canon EOS 400D.....

The panorama was made from multiple photos, i guess 6, with photoshop cs3 photomerge...

it's not a direct panorama picture.. (i'm still waiting for my canon 10-22mm :) )

Ahh that makes sense, I just assumed it was a single picture but I'm not very good at spotting these things lol. :p

Mac fanboy huh? :)

What do you think of the Macbook Air vs. the Macbook Pro? I hear from some people they think it's a bit lacking in features.

I've been using the Macbook Air as my main computer and I haven't found it lacking at all. I even underclocked it to 800Mhz so it'd be cool and quiet and didn't notice a decrease in performance. I send all the processing to a pair of Xserves and the Macbook Air only displays the results.

    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
    • Well, they (LibreOffice/The Document Foundation) are bitchy and whiny, yes, but they're right, at least this time. It doesn't make sense to market something as "free and open source to thwart dependency on foreign companies' software" but at the same time, using the formats of said companies (Microsoft) by default. That way, you are changing nothing, essentially, you're just using another UI. We all know that users just use the defaults and almost never change them. I'm not saying they should drop other formats altogether, but they shouldn't default to the thing they're trying to run away from in the first place. If you're gonna do something, just go all the way in, don't stop in the middle, IMO. Otherwise, shut up and move along.
