the earbuds that came with my iphone broke, so i went down to a shop and bought new ones. the new ones say they have a year warranty. does this mean that in future if the buds break b4 next summer that i can just go to the aapl store and get replacements

i don't really care about the cost but the idea that you'd have a warranty on headphones is weird to me

my mom wants a new laptop to replace her brick of a sarnsung. she's big on "portability" so ofc she's jonesing for the asus transformer t100 or w/e "because it gets good reviews"

is this a poo poo idea for a momputer, given that even tho she gets a 15% discount on apple kit she's too cheap for a real computer

i don't know, i gave it to my younger brother to play warcrack on when I got my thinkpad

it shows the folder question mark so it can't find the startup disk at least, hoping it's just a quick reinstall that's needed and not a new drive b/c i have no loving idea how to open that bastard up

since amazon got rid of the "kindle touch" and made the plain "kindle" touch based, the paperwhite moved down to being the new midtier and the voyage is the new high tier.

currently you have "kindle" which is touchscreen based, no light, and i think still 800x600
the kindle paperwhite is of course touchscreen based, has light, and is about 1024x758
the kindle voyage is touchscreen+new side bezel buttons,has light, and is a 1448x1072 display which looks sweet as hell especially for pdfs

if i'm going to spend 200 of your earth dollars on an ereader, esp. for pdfs, i may as well sack up and get an ipad
