Leaving to get my MBP here in a few minutes. I'm so excited I'm shouting it from the rooftops (ok, not quite...)

Remind me in a few weeks, and I'll say whether or not it was worth it. For nearly 1.5k, it better be worth it tongue

The one thing I don't like about 2.0 is that there's not many instruments and fonts.

Huh. Never even noticed that. I wonder... if you would set it up correctly, could one create a 2.0 mod that includes fonts and sounds from 1.4, and could they be uploaded to the Scratch website? I'd imagine so...

Still not really seeing what makes it so confusing? It's a LOT like 1.4... just an updated look.

I honestly don't watch football a whole lot, but it's that time of year again! What are your guys' Superbowl picks, and who do you want to win? I'm hoping Seattle can take this win.

I think I preferred the 1.4 creator (2.0 is confusing. Don't judge me.) but 2.0 is better in every other way. It's also annoying how you create an awesome character or something on the paint or whatever only to find that it's bitmap because it's default.

lol, what's so confusing about the 2.0 creator?

last night i slept two hours because i went to bed stupid late and i needed to get somewhere early, my original intention was to either not sleep at all or only sleep for one hour. i don't remember what happened in the dream, but i remember thinking it had gone on too long and then suddenly waking up. thankfully i leave an hour and a half between getting up and going somewhere, so i wasn't late.

I do this almost every Saturday night. I usually don't sleep long enough to have any dreams though...

Okay, so I just dreamed that I pulled up my iPhone's screen protector a little bit so I could press it back down harder because it's already peeling. Of course, it didn't work and it remained inadhesive.

Baha, you sure that was a dream?

I just woke up from a dream I remember!

There was this famous school bus. It was made out of weird parts. One seat had lion blood on it, and the other one had scratch marks. Anyway, it started with me watching a documentary about this bus. Then all of a sudden, I was the cameraman of the bus, and then I was the bus driver. There were kids in the bus. They were all trying to do things to pass time. One kid was counting pinecones on trees, and noticed that the lower branches didn't have any pinecones.

So I decide to try and show off to the kids, because this is a really cool bus. I start going 80 mph on the highway. Then I see a dirt ramp that goes over a bridge, and I decide to try and jump it. Before jumping it, I see an ambulance driving, and flag him down. I ask if he can dump everything out of the bus for some reason. He used this giant machine that picked the bus up high in the air, and shook everything out into a car that was like a convertible. But he didn't tell the kids to get out. The kids all fell out, and most missed the convertible,  and hit the concrete. Also, a little boy's phone fell out of his pocket. It was a Lego phone. I had remembered seeing a Lego phone in my dream on Reddit (not in real life)

Dude... What's wrong with you?!

Everything is wrong with me ;(

My best option right now, seems to be getting a Macbook Pro. The more I think about it, the more it seems like that'd be the best choice for me.

Apple are the ones who let you install Windows on a Mac but prevent you from installing OS X on non-Mac computers, so they can market that as an advantage.

There's always a way, and it doesn't really effect those that find that way.

But I guess it comes down to the fact that they don't support it, and that's the kind of company they are.

I'm not an Apple fanboy or anything, but I don't think Apple is given enough credit sometimes.

The reason why I don't understand the advantage of a modular phone, at least for now, is that you can buy a phone with the fastest processor, fastest graphics, and best screen for not a lot of money (at least compared to computers). Why compromise?

It is much easier to swap out parts on a modular when one module breaks or if you want to upgrade it. With a normal, non-modular phone, it becomes outdated quickly and you can't upgrade the processor, battery, camera, etc.

Well that's exactly what I was talking about in my first post. It's unlikely that Google will make updated parts for their modular phone that will still fit in the old slots. Why?

AMD claimed that they would do something similar with their AMD CPUs, but now look, they're pretty much just making a new slot for every update now. Intel changes their socket every two generations of CPU. Maybe this is because of technical limitations of old sockets/chipsets, or maybe it's just to make people buy new motherboards.

So by the time a new component is released that is worth upgrading to (price vs performance increase), Google would probably make you buy a new ARA phone all over again, so what's the difference?

The only difference is that you get to choose which components the phone comes with when you first buy it.


Maybe I'm overthinking it too much and comparing it too much to building PCs?

I guess one advantage would be that you could replace broken components more easily.

We just have to wait and see. Nothing like this has ever happened in a phone. I'm personally hoping that the phone is pretty upgradable.

If you don't want OS X, then that's not an advantage that it can run either.

I think that elfin is interested in OSX, at least that's what Slaymaker seems to think?

I want OS X for Logic Pro, Garage band, and the sorts, but I want Windows for playing games and what-not. I guess I can't get both. Right now, I'm now leaning more towards the Mac though. Almost the same specs as the Lenovo, and *should* be able to play a few games. Plus, buying it through Apple's education store, I can save 300 dollars...

often i have like a 'template dream' where perhaps the same exact thing doesn't happen, but the same setting, characters, and sort of plot is the same and  it's weird.

I know what you mean. I kind of have the same thing, but a bit different. The "story" is the same, but the characters and setting are different.

So are we doing a mod election at 35 users still? Because if so we are only ten users away. big_smile

I kinda hope not... Last I heard, we're not though. That would be a mod for every ~7 users. Right now, I think two or three mods would be enough, and we have four.
