People said the same thing about the iPad as well.
I have never been a fan of tablets. I just don't get it so I can't really speak intelligently on value or what to get. I am happier using my phone and Macbook Air (best laptop period). Fuck dat Retina too. I can't go back to something bigger now that I have gotten used to an Air.
Those fusion drives were a long time coming though. Makes sense on the bigger laptops and desktops, especially now that Apple is taking disk drives out of everything.
Hybrid drives have been here for years.
Apple's is the first hybrid drive that I can recall offering the type of storage capacity it does. Most hybrid drives have 16-32GB of SSD, I believe, while Apple's offering 128GB SSD plus 1 or 3 TB HDD.
You've been able to get 128+1TB I'm pretty positive for a couple years. At least a year I think, for like $500. I haven't looked at pricing, what are they asking for the 3TB upgrade? OCZ had one out last fall fo' sho'

NFL really sucks with the web and new technologies. Which is crazy given how successful they are. MLB's online stuff runs circles around them in this regard.
That was my point. They should have been in iMacs and the Pro laptops for sometime now. Especially since they are taking out the disc drives. There is probably no space for them in Airs, otherwise I would buy another Air next year if they did the impossible and found a way to make it fit.

What the fuck is Wilbon smoking? RG3 is nice but goddamn.
Talking about their reaction to Suh's hit?
Ok, I'll take your word for it. Don't know too much about them, I remember looking into getting a Seagate Momentus or something like that for my old Thinkpad, which is where I think I'm getting the 16-32GB SSD figure from, but I don't think the laptop supported the drive.
It looks like only the 27" iMac can be configured with a 3TB fusion drive which starts at $1,799, already a $500 premium on the 21.5" iMac (and it will be more than $1,799 because that's the price with a 1TB drive non-fusion drive). Can't check because you can't add to cart yet.
I just realized that the fusion drives aren't even standard in the iMac, and the lowest option, the $1,299 21.5" iMac, can't even be configured for the fusion drive. You have to start with the $1,499 21.5" iMac to get a fusion drive, and even then, you can only get the 1TB option, not the 3TB. Kind of lame.
In addition to being a fanboy of Magic Johnson and Lebron, Wilbon has always been a homer of Chicago and DC sports.
RG3 is a pretty big deal in DC. I think Wilbon is getting caught up in that. I mean when is the last time the Redskins had a decent qb? Their fans have become so disillusioned that some of them started to wear Uggs and cheer for Tom Brady. It is pretty obvious that they were going to fall head over heels for RG3.

I love the idea of the fusion drive but 1800 seems pricey for a desktop, even a sexy all in one. My wife loves the way the iMac looks though so I imagine it is going to replace our Mini whenever we move to our next house.
1) Who said being violent is a bad thing?
2) I'd love for someone to construct a definition of "violent" that would exclude what Suh did to Cutler. Seriously, I'd love to read it.

I'll wait til he interviews Richard Rydze.
Did he talk you into eating mushrooms and buying an isolation tank?
What would you gain from that? He said he didn't give any steroids to the dozens of Steelers players he had access to.
That explanation was good enough for the Rooneys so it is good enough for me.
Case closed!

Yes! I got 23 NFL coins for clicking that link!
Not into drugs or many of his crazy theories. I started listening to the podcast because I find Joey Diaz hilarious. But he also gets some interesting guests. Can't stand Brian though. What an annoying fuck.
Rogan's podcast is not as good as my two favorites, the champs or tested, but I drive a lot and this is one of my secondary podcasts.

So RG3 is being outperformed by Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers and isn't even the best player at his position based on QB rating (the good one).
He's also coming up short compared to his peers on yards per game and substantially shorter on TD passes. Oh and he has far fewer pass attempts. He simply isn't being asked to do the same amount of work as other quarterbacks.
Is he outperforming expectations and on pace to beat out Andrew Luck for ROY? Of course! Best player in the NFL? That's smoking crack. Especially when we saw this exact same story last season with Cam Newton, who people said was the best rookie season for a QB ever.

If anyone doubted that Packer fans were inherently racist I am pretty sure this post erases all remaining doubt!
He will with the London Bears.
I listen to Rogan a lot, find him funny and he has a wide variety of guest and topic and he seems to at least entertain a lot of strange ideas. Sometimes I have to turn it off when he goes off on hour long rants about the same tired shit every podcast. And yeah, Brian's a cunt.
Haven't listened to the other two.

Michael Jordan is also the best basketball player of all time.

Some guy that hangs out with Albert Haynesworth, Jamarcus Russell, and Sam Bradford.

How dare any of you criticize Mario Williams. Until you are given a $100m contract and walk a mile in his shoes you shouldn't tear him down!

This is what happens when the only basketball you have seen consists of the movie Space Jam.
If only Milwaukee had a basketball team I might try to engage you in a debate about the game.
That Fat Head commercial is awesome!
I would appreciate a well done commercial like that more if I didn't see him and his teammates in at least 2 commercials every commercial break on every channel.
According to this, RG3 is currently in the midst of the greatest rookie season in league history, but that season is being wasted by a historically inept Redskins defense: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...griffin-iii/index.html?eref=sihp&sct=hp_wr_a3
You have never been more wrong about anything.
I greatly value his opinions hating on the Packers and their overexposure on television. I also suspect that many other individuals feel the same way.
Yep, I'm the only one in the world that give a shit about shitty commercials.

One thing that I find humorous is that because as great as he has been throwing the football this year it's actually led his rushing effectiveness to be understated, he's been by far one of the best runners in the league this season.
Once you take that into account it's pretty easy to make an argument that he actually has been one of the very best QBs in the entire league this season. Even an argument as the very best.
