  1. So you are even more against netbooks/notebooks? They're bigger, more uncomfortable and more risky to take out.


  2. Will be available for mobile too, I guess..in due time. I wonder which of the two won't surive, tablets or smartphones? They're actually the same. The Galaxy Tab is like a giant smartphone.

    Yeeeppp.

    Moreover, there's my "nothing can equal the beauty of a book" feeling, so notebooks are my biggest enemies!
  4. Still not tempted. The market is going to be flooded for the next 12 months. I only see Apple and possibly Samsung coming out with a bit of market share at the end. Not my cup of tea though.


  8. Netbooks aren't. It's these massive capacitive touchscreens that do the damage. I bet the warranty won't cover drops either.
  9. Got another question - I have about 180 CDs I'd like to re-rip sometime this year. If I was to do the entire lot to FLAC how much space might that take up?

    My current rips are about 14GB so far at 192kbps MP3.
  10. Each CD will be 700mb MAX drew so you can do the matys there and work out the most it will take from that. Most are 4-500 though.
  11. FLAC increases around a x4.5 factor in size with respect to a 192kbps MP3. A normal 4 minutes song is around 6 MB on mp3@192, and around 25-30 MB on FLAC, so... Your current 14 GB collection would be around 65 GB.

    You can also do it measuring the normal CD size when ripped to FLAC (around 400-500 MB) and multiplying that for the number of CDs you want to rip:
    450MB · 180 CDs =~ 80 GB.

    Going by that calculation, one song would take up 180MB. I'll wait 'til I get a bigger drive then.
