Quote from 5tag :

I'm just saying if you spend that amount of money for that amount of use I consider you are a spoilt little sprog.

What do you mean "for that amount of use"?
I'd be using it an unbelivable ammount!
I'd be using it majority of the time, only time i wouldn't would be when im doing complicated work on my PC but chances are it'll still be in the background playing music.
But besides then i'm going to be constantly on it, using it for msn, skype, facebook, email checking, homework, coding, video viewing, music listning.
So i don't get what you mean by "for that amount of use"?

Quote from 5tag :

Wow... You seriously want to spend 500 bucks to hang something to your wall so you don't have to wait 5 minutes for you computer to boot? God you're a tool.

No.
I'm going to use it for msn/skype + internet.
Half my time on my computer im just on these three things. And because my tv is my monitor i cant watch tv at the same time. Nor can i PS3.
I've been wanting a laptop of some sort for a while so i can relax in bed and watch tv.
But just recently started looking at tablet PC's.
It's not JUST going to be on my wall you know Will only be on there 1/4 of the time.

Much rather get an Archos 9 now, cheaper and has Windows 7 so will be more compatable with things. Plus it actually has a USB port.... haha.

Quote from danthebangerboy :

I have also heard that not only can you control the dream but you can also end it yourself in some cases as well, i dunno how true this tho.

It is true, it's actually easier to end it then to control it.
The hard bit is realising that you're dreaming without waking yourself up, sometimes you can realise your dreaming and then do something with your body instead of your mind, causing you to move in real life and wake up.
It is EXTREMELY hard to do, i've never found anyone else who could do it. Infact until TiJay mentioned Lucid Dreaming and i wikipediad it i thought i was the only person who could do it


Edit:
What 5haz said DOES make sense. Like i said, if you realise your dreaming and you do the wrong thing then you can wake yourself up instead of controlling your dream.

I do remember i used to have dreams like that but i've not had any recently.
I can control my dreams now so i just tend to do whatever i want in them.

My first reaction would be to hit the clutch.
Who cares if the engine blows, much rather that then driving off an intersection and killing my family.
Although im sure at some point i wouldv'e realised that turning the car off would stop it accelerating.

Just saw this on failblog haha.
Perhaps iPad wasn't the best name for it :/

Quote from Bose321 :

Really? So if you change the Y with the O, you get QWERTO?

You could do that if you wanted :P
I don't get what's so funny about QWERTO though?

Quote from Bose321 :

What kind of retarded keyboard is that?

It's not meant to be like that.
What you do is you use something like a key and you pry the buttons off the keyboard. Then you move them around.
One of the typical ones is to pry the D key off, and then pry the S key off another keyboard, then put the S where the D used to be.
Then you get ASS on your keyboard.

Quote from dadge :

only because you wouldn't have a shelf big enough to hold it lol

I wouldn't want to hold it on a shelf, wouldn't look as nice.
Much rather mount it to the wall and have it as close to the wall as possible, much more snazzy.

Quote from dadge :

i still have my mp3 play playing. could always stream from my phone via bluetooth.

You could stream from your phone via bluetooth... Good for you because i don't have anywhere to stream to. I don't have bluetooth recieving speakers.

Quote from dadge :

you'll always have to wait for that. no need putting it off

But if i just want to do something like check my facebook quickly then i don't have to wait 5 minutes for my computer to boot, and then go on facebook, and then shutdown again.

Quote from dadge :

can also do that on most phones today.

And it can be a pain, you have to scroll around to view the whole email....

Quote from dadge :

a £6 tv out cable from my phone does the same job. more or less.
my phone was £200

Your phone will have a lower screen resolution.
Try stretching your phones resolution to a 32" TV, it's going to look disgusting..

For you it's pointless and i understand that, im also sure for others it's pointless.
But for me it isnt.
Just wish it'd be cheaper -.-

Quote from Danke :

Not knocking you or the ipad, but we used to have a thing that would play music instantly without booting. It was called a stereo.

And they are normally huge though.
I can currently plug my ipod into my speakers, but it doesn't look that nice with a wire just trailing along my desk.
Much rather have something i can quickly put some music on with.

Quote from dadge :

but still pointless at both prices. so why buy it at any price? you posts are making as much sense as gumshield for a crocodile.

I wouldn't say it's pointless.
If i was to get one i'd create some sort of bracket for it and drill it onto my wall, i'd make it detachable from the bracket though.
That way when i come home from college it's on my wall. So as soon as i come in i can take it off hold(Im guessing it'll have a hold) and put some music on instantly.
No need to wait for my PC to boot.
I can also start checking my emails and facebook without having to wait for my PC to load.
I'd probably have an ipod to tv cable as well, and stream movies from my wireless hardrive through the iPad to the tv.
I'd happily pay £200 for something like that.
Wouldn't pay £400 though.
Therefore it's pointless at one price, but not the other.

Edit:

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

You're gonna wall-mount a 9.7" screen for a media center?

Sounds stupid i know, but next to my TV, underneath one of the wall mounted speakers and before my door i have a nice patch of nothingess on my wall. I could easily just mount it there.
So like i said when i come in i can just turn around and put some music on.
Also i think i may have used the words media center when perhaps that's not what i mean.
I mean to use it as something to listen to my music through while my PC is off, watch movies through, perhaps view photos and then check my facebook/email and browse the internet.

Updated first post with more images.

$29.99 For an unlimited data plan in the US

Edit: Price has been announced i think
$499

Roughly £300

Quote from Jakg :

It has no phone features.

Im hoping not, a few people have said it does have some as it's meant to be a sort of cross between an iPhone and an iMac.

Quote from TiJay :

So it's a really big iPod Touch without the portability?

Bassicly, but bigger screen = better viewing of videos, easier internet use, bigger keyboard for typing.

If it's stupidly expensive then **** that tbh. If it's a decent price i may get one and mount it to my wall and use it as a media centre.

Im surprised nobodies made a topic on this.
Mind you was literelly only announced about 30 minutes ago.

I'm really liking it so far, im thinking about perhaps buying one when it comes out, then getting a sort of bracket made for my wall next to my tv which i can hold this in.
Then when i come home i can literelly just turn around to my wall and put some music on, i don't have to wait to turn my computer on.
Also means if i want to check my email/facebook quickly i can.

Just waiting for them to announce some prices and HDD sizes.
Although im hoping they have a version without any phone features.

Few pictures....

Quote from hazaky :

I would recommend to stay away from logitech (including z5500) if ur into clear sound, quality and power. I owned these and well ... yeah. Sold them for now.

My 30w rms speakers eat z5500 systems for lunch

I find that a tad hard to believe.
30w speakers eating z5500's for breakfast?
Link these speakers your talking about.

Got my beta key the other day and finished downloading it today.
Played it a bit and the customization options are VAST! Dude, **** the sims, this things got more!
Im liking it so far, really liking the bit where your controlling your ship.

Quote from 5haz :

Wasn't it Arox who did that, not Dawedust, he posted a picture of some boobies.

Still, overuse of internet memes and sayings is a crime.

I apologise, i thought it was Arox as well but someone above me said Dawedust so i thought i was wrong.

Well then does anybody know the actual reason why he was banned? :S



I.O.U 1 Funny To Keep Thread On Track



Edit: Actually looking back im guessing he got banned because of the tits picture?

I think this is a stupid reason for dawesdust to get banned :S
Although he pissed me off majorly with his fanboyism of mac this was still no reason for him to get banned.
Just because he posted one image over and over in one post?
Arox has probably posted the same ammount of that image, except he just spreads them out.
The modding here is a bit silly imo.

Quote from Jordan2007 :
