It appears Apple's QC has been going downhill even before bendgate. Here, let Consumerist tell you.

And yes, PCs can have self-cooking GPUs as well, but this is Apple, where you shouldn't expect such things to happen to your $2,500 laptop.

Eh, my mom's Dell XPS' GPU self-cooked. And their tech support sucked (bloody greedy moneyfaced bastards. HOW IS IT THAT THE RECALL IS ONLY VALID IN THE US?!?). Will never buy {Dell ever again.

So I took a look at the Discovery Family FB page, and gave it a like. Then I took note of the raging Hub Network fans bashing the channel because of their 'boring' programming at night.

One of two things... either the entire DFN hate goes on by after a few weeks, or the Hub fans will bash Discovery so hard they will be compelled to bring Hub back. I hope the latter doesn't happen, because it all comes down to personal taste.

If those people don't like the evening shows, they should just change the channel! >.< 'Nuff said.

Finally, Anna-Lena shall get the HD content she needs. Just ordered an upgrade for my Dish DVR receiver to an HD model. Best part? It's a free upgrade.

Thankfully, Dish receivers can still output regular analog AV or SVideo out for the DVD recorder, and they have the ability to scale down HD content to SD resolutions for said DVD-Rs. No more letterbox for me!

I only wish the MPAA wasn't so iron fisted with BluRay and the inability to legally sell set-top BD-R recorders. >.<

Confirmed. RAM in 2014 Mac Mini can't be upgraded by the user.

If you want any Mac with upgradability, you'll need to spend an arm, leg, eye, ear, hand, foot, and gall bladder for a Mac [strike]Dust Bin[/strike] Pro.
