"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The two major drawbacks in my opinion are that it doesn't accept memory cards and it uses a proprietary connector for power and data.

The specs say it accepts microSD and has a USB 2 port. What am I missing?

eta: Oh, well. I putzed around too long and someone else got it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

It seems what we have at work is a Galaxy Tab 10.1 [link] rather than a Galaxy Note 10.1 [link]

Sorry for mixing them up.

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

Did anyone else update their Mac and now Chrome is barely functional?

Supposedly, the latest update for Chrome is 64-bit and it doesn't suck.

Crap. My monitor just died. I don't want to spend the money for another Apple monitor, but at least with the Apple monitor, I know it will be good enough for editing photos. And I don't have a lot of time to research because I need a new monitor, like, now. Crap.

Hey. New board.

[link] That link tells me the Samsung 4k IPS monitor that is normally 700 is currently 400.

Our wings are not tired

Woot has a good deal on a Samsung 4K monitor. I can't say I've used this personally, but I've had good luck with Samsung displays overall.

I have to admit I got one of the new Retina 5K iMacs and I am not officially ruined for pretty much all other monitors. I keep eyeing 4K monitors to replace my current HP 2560x1440 second monitor because the difference between the two resolutions is so crazy.

I'm not so much interested is resolution as I am in color accuracy and gamut. I'm not even sure my Mac Mini can drive a 4K display.

Then you may want to look at some of the other Samsung displays that Woot is currently selling and see if any of them will suit your needs. There is a good chance your Mini cannot drive a 4K display actually.

Hey. New board.

Monoprice has a lot of monitors on sale today too, including a 27" IPS display. I can't speak to their color accuracy, but they have received generally good reviews from what I've seen in the past. No idea if those reviews were by color experts though.

Hey. New board.

The 27" IPS display is an LG panel, if that means anything.
