an ipad App to view multiple PDF's easily

Goodreader has been doing this since the first ipad via tabbed browsing. You can also load a pdf in iBooks and another pdf in Goodreader, and just multitask back and forth with 4 finger sweep between apps.

Ipod Touch: Is the 5G worth the premium price?

The 5G has less than 1 ohm output impedance and if I recall correctly, the 4G had an output impedance closer to 4. That makes the 5G the clear choice if you are using any sensitive headphones, especially if they are multi-balanced armatures.

UI performance in rMBP

I've had the rMBP since August, and I haven't had any UI lag that some people have reported. I'm wondering what resolution setting their machines are set on because by default it should be on "scaled best for retina". I've only ever run Mountain Lion on this machine, but it's been a buttery...

In all seriousness dude, make an appointment next time. With Apple, it doesn't matter if the problem is a quick exchange or huge repair ordeal, they will see the customer at the time appointed by the customer. It sucks there isn't a walk up option for slow days, but there system works real well...

Why do iphone users use the crappy earbuds?

They don't know better or haven't heard the difference 3-4 driver IEMs can bring? Or simply don't use the iPhone as a music player? I personally have aural orgasms with my Westone 4R and UM3X RC. Eventually want to get customs, but I'm happy with these at the moment.

Journey to 3.5mm audio cable upgrade for MBP & A2 speakers- $1200 silver cable INSIDE

This is the same thing seen on head-fi with silver and gold cable "upgrades". If you're hearing a difference and you've done a blinded ABX test, and you still hear a difference, it's likely that the cable/manufacturer put in some amount of resistance into the interconnect, altering your highs...

Apples Back to School Promo 2011: No Free iPod, $100 iTunes Card instead

it's a big step down for sure. but it's good strategic move on apple's part as it'll pump up and fuel the app store economy even more. i wonder why they are cheap-staking the back to school promo though. it's a 50% reduction at face value of what it used to be. :/

the coppers are 220 at amazon with free 2 day shipping if you have prime. monster has really good cs apparently, and those things have life time warranty, so even with not so great build quality, it's a good deal.
