Woah, really? I love mine so much, maybe I should replace it now while I still can...

Yeah, I have an iPod classic that lives in my car so that I can have a decent chunk of my music with me.

Hey. New board.
There will likely be a 128 GB iPod touch soon (or there is already?) That's not bad. For music-only car living it's hard to beat that classic interface though.
I don't have anywhere close to that much music and tMo lets Spotify stream without data charges now so I don't need it, but I feel for you bigger listeners.
Somebody needs to make a simple mp3 player with a solid interface that reads micro SD cards. How many 64 GB cards would you need for your entire collection ND?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
This tweet is cute.

My media collection sits on a 10 TB Drobo at the moment.
Just the music is probably around 300 GB at the moment.

Can anyone recommend a good external Blu-Ray drive I can plug into my laptop? Also, is WinXP up to running a Blu-Ray drive? I'm using my old XP desktop as my media machine.
I can't answer the bit about WinXP, but the two or three times I've used it the Digistor drive I bought has worked well with my Macs and Roxio Toast.

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 actually printed this pdf of iPhone 6 sizes [link] so I could cut them out to see how they fit in my hand.

Boo. I do not want a bigger phone--I still have the 4s and thought the 5 was plenty big! I want to be able to fit it in a pocket, not need a purse or a huge pair of cargo pants for my phone!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Am I the only one who was happy with the size of my iPhone 4? Why does it need to be so damn large? I feel like a big enough dork carrying my current phone around on my belt. Any bigger, and it better be a fucking tricorder and tell me what the chemical composition of the food I ordered, and diagnose why I'm hacking up a lung.
I think it's funny, they keep making the screen larger, and the body thinner. The thinner body makes it harder to do the shoulder to the ear trick to keep the phone next to your ear. Can't be on speakerphone all the time, ya know!
