Comment Re:If this was Apple... (Score 1) 258

I'm skipping blu-ray and just using streaming to get HD movies. I got a Star Trek blu-ray combo pack mostly for the download code. With the built-in VUDU app I can watch it in 1080p/7.1. I can't get that with the DVD. Technically, it doesn't look as good as the blu-ray that I have no player for but it looks better than the DVD. The best part about the download code, though, was I also used it in iTunes for the audio commentary special feature.

It also doesn't keep the case as cool, though. If you are worried about keeping it cool, the best strategy is pulling the warm air out instead of pushing cool air in. I can't find the article at the moment but one group tried several fan configurations and found that many popular concepts weren't true at all.

That's a fair question. I can think of many things that I do and new features in programs that I love that would probably easily run on a very old computer. I used a 2003-era laptop until 2011 that met the vast majority of my needs. That's why I choose an i3 for my new desktop. It had excellent bang-for-the-buck and was so much faster.
