1. Of course that is very simplified, but still sort of how it works
  2. Ahum, that makes sense... but then again most tech things I know are audio stuff, it might be different there
  3. Yeah, audio output is analogue (continous). Your screen consists of a discrete number of pixels.

    So in case of a LCD screen its better to avoid the 'useless' D/A and A/D converter you use using a VGA cable. For CRT things are different.
  4. aaah yeah I had read that too, using VGA is a double analog<>digital conversion (with the logical potential loss)... Yeah, I think I'll just give DVI a try. I can always go back to VGA in case I don't like it (can't see it happening, but you never know). Thanks for all the info Chris
  5. Motorola. Defy is excellent. Cool to have such a small phone again, bucking the trend of the 5 inch monsters. Android is still overrated and I gave up trying to get CM7 on it (for now at least) and the screen isn't overly brilliant but cool device.
  6. Good to see you're sticking with a phone for a while Gerard
    What do you think about the new Macbook Pro?
  7. Expensive. And still annnoyed that 'Regina's was all a lie. I don't honestly see myself as ever needing another laptop ever again. The ipad does all of my browsing.

    Too expensive really.
    But what do you mean Retinas was all a lie? The new one was "retina"

  9. They invented retina back with the iPhone 4 because it had over 300ppi. The fanbouys disgregarded anything lower. Then the ipad 3 launched with 260 odd ppi yet the retina name remained. Now the new MacBook has 220ppi (the same as my old Nokia 5800) and its still retina. I don't see how people buy in to these marketing gimmicks.

    ah, that's what you meant. Yea, I thought the exact same thing when they announced it. That's why I called it "retina".
    I mean, the resolution is pretty impressive, no doubt, but to keep calling all of these "retina" is just fooling people.
