oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Well, matt's phone went for a swim today. So assuming it is dead we may finally get new phones. It looks like our best deal is the iphone4 from a monthyly cost perspective and if he gets the 32 and I get the 16 phone price doesn't make much difference. However, we also looked at the droid 2 global -- and they said name your price and we will see what we can do. I know they want us to leave at&T. ( the only reason I care, At&t coverage is iffy at our house) But what does name your price mean in a practical sense?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I just bought a new iPod Touch and OMG the display is amazing! So sharp I can't even see the pixels. Maybe I'll buy an iPad for more tiny pixel goodness.

The iPad has about half the pixel density of the latest iPhone and iPod touch.

Is it a Retina Display? Or maybe I'm thinking of the next iPad? Or the MacBook Air?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The next iPad is rumored to have retina, but not the current one.

OK, I'll wait then.

I hope someday we get Retina (or the equivalent) on regular computers too. A Retina display on a MacBook Pro would be awesome....

I've got a 4th gen iPod Touch on order, so I'm looking forward to the display. But really, I'm most of all looking forward to one without synching issues.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I have heard rumors about the new ipad having a retina display, but some Mac bloggers doubt this will be the case for '11. Maybe '12.

iTunes question: The function for burning CDs is no longer there, is there a bug or did Apple take that away?
