To be fair, adobe products USED to be miles better on Macs however, and the reputation has stuck. Now the playing field has been leveled substantially now that it takes GPU power primarily over CPU. As for purchases here, where I am now. IF there is a need for buying Macs (such as a specific software required and it can only be used on a Mac) then we will buy a Mac Server (maybe a Mac mini server or something), and then set up a remote service for it. We wouldn't buy up one machine for each member of staff.

The sky "NowTV" box isn't bad but I do not know your exact requirements. Also works well if you have a stable wifi connection. It comes with HDMI and an RCA connection, which is good. And its £9 a box!

@dwhyte85 join the guild website (Tamriel Mining Corporation) and yes, I am wanting to do fungal grotto. My character is level 14 (or 15) now, got some decent skills and an ultimate skill which is hopefully enough to survive as a tank. I have the following skills on my char: Active Skills Dragon Leap as my ultimate skill - which dishes out around 160 damage in 1 hit. Volatile Armour - Dishes out 27 damage on activation to all within 3 metres, and 14 damage to any melee attacker per attack for 20 seconds, and increases armour rating by 300 Dark Talons - plants the enemies and imobilises them for 4 seconds, deals 17 damage on impact, deals 10 burning for 4 seconds Crippling slash - immobilises enemy, does 31 damage, snares target 60% for 9 seconds, reduces target damage by 15% for 9 seconds. Ransack - does 49 damage, reduces target armour by 40%, taunts target for 15 seconds. Passive skills Intimidating presence - Gives additional options on NPC conversations and a chance to force them to give better prices and free gold. Persuasive will - as above, but a gentler way. Sword and board - Increases weapon damage by 3%, and block mitigation by 10% Fortress - Reduces cost of blocking by 15%, Reduces cost of 1 hand and shield abilities by 5% Shield Affinity - Increases experience with 1 hand and shield by 15% Tough - increases health by 4% Conditioning - increases stamina by 4% Factor in I also use provisioning buffs as well - IE food that gives me increased health/stamina/magicka for a period of time + drink that increases the regen of health/stamina/magicka for a period of time, makes me quite resilient.

More along an hour a night, and 2-4 on weekend days. lol

Thats crazyness. If I had all day, I would probably do the same thing, but alas I have to work during school holidays, look after mrs and child in the evening, then do other household bits in between! Ahh well, nice steady leveling for me anyways, I am happy with it.

@jaminben, @bushby, @flyinghaggis I posted up on the TMC website what mods I use, feel free to add your own suggestions!

I am good most evenings from 8:30-9:00pm onwards (usually)

Please. You should be able to do the dungeons as many times as you like, just wont be able to do the quest that is focused in there.

@ZeroHour You're not wrong, especially bad when your "team mates" decide to continue on without you leaving you to play catch up and get owned by anything they missed!

Whilst I agree with this, RM announced years ago that they were no longer continuing with hardware warranties as of a certain date, if you didn't check thoroughly if they were transitioning, and as such would not be able to live up to the agreement which you thought you had throughout the contract, then that is YOUR fault not theirs. They gave ample warning, many many many times. See above, YOU should have checked, they made it known, you didn't follow up and look into things, they're not at fault, you are. Looks like we are disagreeing because you didn't do your due diligence on the company properly. As much as it makes me shudder to side with RM, they're completely in the right!

level 41? What on earth were you doing? Playing all day?! lol Mind you, I get on when I can, but family life kind of makes it difficult anytime before 8:30pm

whats your in game name? Will add you as a friend later Quest areas completed are as follows - Bal Foyen, Bleakrock (though this one has a glitched achievement in that if you miss 1 step in a quest you can't complete the islands quests, despite it telling you you've done them). I've nearly done all the quests in Stonefalls (65 out of 69), done a handful in the rift (5 or 6), done a handful in eastmarch (again 5 or 6) and a handful in deshaan. I went to cyrodiil, and was majorly disappointed as they made it MUCH smaller than it was in the beta (took around 15 mins on my horse to go from one side to the other in live, in beta it took nearly half an hour)

how is everyone getting on in the game?

Have to agree here, they use the slower drives also to increase longevity of the devices. a 5400RPM will last longer than a 7200RPM, and when I've opened up Macs, it has usually been Samsung HDDs

I don't go for the camera quality, but if I were to pick, definitely a toss up between iPhone and GS5. GS5 has better definition on the green, yellow and orange colours, whereas the iPhone has better definition on the blues, purples and reds. It is genuinely a difficult choice just based on camera alone.

best review ever

But how else will I show my hipster friends that I am so hipster that I use Windows on a Mac which runs a VM of a linux OS?

reminds me of this...scary to think the film was set in 2015! The 6th Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

£10 for a song? A bit much!

Not sure I could have guessed with your username This I agree with, it does feel more solid, however, the aluminium isn't a solid block, as if it was they'd have customs issues sending MBPs with precious metals in. Best way to describe the aluminium block is that it has half of the centre missing. I've had this on various laptops, whilst not standard, it isn't a mac thing, I also have this on my PC. Point is moot however considering Acer, Lenovo and Dell offer these options at no extra cost on their custom builds. Many laptops I deal with at work, have screens that can go to 2560x1440, and even a small handful which can go to 3840x2160 (New toshiba ones reserved for Partners). Yup, though the GPUs are getting better. They'll never rival a desktop graphics card however, but they are definitely getting better. Hasn't this been the case since 2011? I remember opening one in a school I worked at and a lot of the components were glued in which meant I couldn't do the repair. With the dual GPU option, you are paying a LOT more than you would for a single GPU, I think they tacked on nearly £200 on the Apple configurator last time I looked. Yes that is a bonus, but you absolutely must pay for apple care for them to look at anything older than 1 year. And if you don't buy at purchase of the device, its usually a higher cost. Have you dealt with Windows 7 or 8(.1)? Driver issues have been non-existent to me since Windows 7. Hard drive/Ram faults can happen to anyone. Malware can happen to Mac users too, and when it does, it means usually a full reinstall rather than running a program, and cleaning. DNS issue is not OS specific, and can happen to Macs, as well as Unix/Linux and Windows. And I've not had a BSOD in a long time, infact I cannot genuinely remember the last BSOD I had since leaving college. Windows is plug and play, picks up drivers and off you go, much the same as a Mac (though granted, Mac is usually quicker - but only because you can only use Mac approved hardware, which is quite limiting). Linux and Windows can be done on any machine, so I am not sure of your point. If you break it, there are literally hundreds of thousands of people willing to help out, unlike Mac where the usual advice I have found as a "new user" to some forums is "Take it too the Apple store, they can fix it for you if you have apple care" or "buy a new one as that one is old anyways". Some solid advice there! Yes, I agree here, it is down to budget. You may want to look at your budget closer, as you complain A LOT on facebook about being financially stuck, or not great in terms of income/outgoings etc, when many people (myself included) have given you advice you plainly want to ignore. Many of the problems I have found with a lot of mac users, who claim to constantly be poor, is because they shell out £1K+ for hardware, slap it on a credit card or take a loan, and then make the absolute minimum payments, then the next year (or when the loan/cc is paid off) do it again. Its a horrible cycle and seems one that many (not saying all) Apple fans fall into.

Rather than cloning whole humans, I'd rather they used DNA and samples to clone organs, that way the organ waiting list can go down rapidly.

yes and it makes way for names like Kenzie (in my daughters year group at school, there are 6 "Kenzies" or "MacKenzie" and 2 Chardonnays. I personally favour the timeless names - Grace, Eleanor, Mary, Anne, Bernadette, Jacob, Joshua, Matthew, Paul, John...

No, it was a new clutch on the car and I couldn't get the biting point right AT ALL on that car. few lessons later in that care I went for my 3rd and passed...2 years down the line DVLA take my licence away and give me a provisional one due to a medical disability which will ensure I cannot get behind a wheel. That said I now have a lovely bus pass which gets me around anywhere between 9:30am - 11:00pm

Ask for an amendment to your contract, say that you will start billing for the out of hours work at full double time pay. They soon change their attitudes then! [/sarcasm]

It looks like it is aimed heavily at the indie gaming crowd. Not something I am really into so I shall give it a miss.
