Just upgraded my Comcast Internet and modem. Now getting 50Mbps down and 10Mbps up. Nice.

The upside to my laptop being on a self imposed time out is that I've been going to bed at a reasonable hour for the last couple of weeks. I do want it fixed to have acess to my files and be able to watch Netflix on my TV but I don't want to fall back on my old habits.

So now I have a Windows 8 laptop with a touchscreen. On one hand I think Windows 8 is over designed and I don't see the usefullness of a touchscreen in a laptop. On the other hand, as I'm getting used to the functionalities, it's not that bad. But I've never been so obsessed with wiping fingerprints

Got another computer. Desktop. iMac.

Why?

I guess 'cause I promised myself a while ago that I would. That and I wanted the $100 gift card.

This should be my last computer purchase for the forseeable future.

(Bring on the tablets)

Tell me what about this doesn't scream SKYNET?

No way would I want all my electronics linked together like that. O_o

iPhone 5s.

Looks good.

Cost too much.

Bought it anyway.

Played with it for a couple days and....

it's a phone.

OK, who knows how to track a cellphone without having to download software onto it first? I'm pretty sure that thing is stolen now

. Someone in this complex, too.

Consciousness as a state of matter?
Not really into physics but this is relevant to some of my interests...

The new iOS update bricked my phone. Grrrrrr. Come to find out it's not just me. If the forums can be trusted, lots of us with older iPhones are experiencing this issue. Now I have to do a full recovery. Most of my music and things like that are backed up automagically. But my app data... I'm really worried about that.

Do you know that I was at level 388 in CandyCrush?!!!!????!!!!??? I think I might cry. Seriously. I just spent the last 3 weeks stuck at a level b/c I refuse to pay for boosts.

I'm definitely not updating my iPad. Not unless the find another major security flaw or they come out with iOS 8. Hmph!

ETA: Good News Everyone! <said in my best prof. Farnsworth voice>

My data from candy crush was saved!!!
