Forgot about the 13" air. No need to get the 128gb iPad, though, unless you just absolutely need all your pirated content all the time.

Ya, I'm going with the 256gb. I'm gonna be gone for roughly 2 weeks at a time, so having a ton of media would be nice.

A 128gb plus external hdd would be cheaper. Apple gouges on SSDs.

I was gonna say the same, but it isn't quite as portable. If it's mostly hotel watching, then definitely go external. If you know they have hdmi hookups on the tv, make sure to grab an hdmi cable.

I've had a western digital my book I bought back in 2008 that's still chugging along just fine. I saw some 2TB ones on google just now for a bill.


But I honestly don't know if they're any better than any others. Just what I have.

I have a Toshiba USB 3.0 one. It's going on a few years now. It should be said that any PC/laptop that can be upgraded on your own would be cheaper than letting the company do it for you. With macbooks, Apple ties your hands on it, though.

Now that I've said that, it'll fail here in the next week.

For 40 grand, I'm buying a car that is a goddamn occasion to drive. A 2007 M5 is not that. gently caress, I'd rather spend a little over half that on a BRZ.

Don't worry. He'll pay the rest when something breaks. I worked on E60s, and there's plenty to break. There's even more to break on the M5. Did he get the SMG? Even MORE poo poo to break. The SMG is better than the manual performance-wise, but I wouldn't touch one of those things out of warranty.

It's nothing cool or funny at all. He just does a poo poo job, blames everyone but himself for poo poo that happens, and has a "girlfriend" in Texas that just happened all of a sudden.

He bought the M5, and didn't tell anyone else at the office at all. He only told me because we walked out together after our shift and I didn't see his usual beat up Accord. I'm pretty positive that he knows he's getting hosed, but doesn't care because BMW OMG.

It's going to be sad when something happens or breaks on it and he can't afford it.

Colbert is taking over for Letterman. Kinda surprised he would leave The Colbert Report.

I think it would be hard to turn down the sacks of cash that network television can offer over cable. It's a completely different ballgame money-wise.

Yeah. I grew up with Letterman, as my parents are huge fans of him. Used to have the Top Ten List books on the toilet tank, I'd read them and wonder who the heck John Sununu was and why they made fun of him so much, so it's kinda sad to see him go. I think Colbert makes the most sense though.
