If that's what you want, most current tablets are not for you. They're designed to be different from laptops, and try to trade off compatibility with current apps and operating methods with an improved experience on a touch screen. Windows 8 might actually be what you want. Microsoft is...

That's a fair reason. Fortunately, it's mostly a one-time problem. Goodreader (and many other similar programs) offer many ways to get stuff onto your device. You can download them one by one in safari, copy them via Webdav, Dropbox, Sugarsync, and other online hosts, do it over Wifi, or sync...

Why do you want to do that? Apple sells an adapter called the Apple Camera Connection Kit, which has been used by a lot of people to attach different USB devices to the iPad. Since the iPad doesn't let you view the filesystem (each app is sandboxed and seems to have its own filesystem) normal...

I think it depends a lot on how much you buy into the platform. If you're a Mac user who syncs everything with Address Book, iCal, Safari, iTunes, etc you might not switch. If you use the Google apps for everything, it's a lot easier to switch. One interesting blog is from a guy who switched...

FWIW, the iPad 1 has no problems with iOS 5 (beyond the usual set of bugs in the beta).

What Paizo did here makes it harder to share your campaign online, but it's still easy to use the info as long as you keep it private. They didn't ask Obsidian Portal to kill the campaign, or to kick the user off, or even to completely remove the images: they just wanted to make sure they...

Companies are judged by their past actions. Paizo has built up enough of a reputation to be given the benefit of the doubt until we know more. WotC has had a much more troubled relationship with fans over the last few years. But in the past there have been a lot of people defending WotC for...

I used a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet to map a 1e venture into Temple of Elemental Evil. And I used an iPad in that campaign to help display the map. Nowadays, I don't map, and I just use the iPad for lookups on the PFSRD.

The best gauge of that right now is the frequency of updates by manufacturer. The updates they issue for tablets is likely to be similar to what they currently release for phones. As of that article, HTC was the clear winner, but things may have changed since then. I didn't look hard enough to...

Not entirely. iOS does have an advantage over Android in terms of UI latency, and it's not just due to a lack of features. iPads have hardware accelerated graphics for most of their animations and transitions. That's the advantage of having control over your hardware platform. Android devices...

You know, if only I could always read adventures on a nice big 27" iMac. Open the PDF twice, keep one set at delve area, one at the story area, lots of cores should make everything fast... Unfortunately "screen" format PDFs make that harder (curse widescreen PDFs and the way they waste space)...

Apple will also do a back-glass replacement for about $30. It's $200 for front and back (or front and back and everything else, it's their flat-rate repair). The problem is you can usually choose things for hardness (which stops scratches) or impact resistance. There aren't any materials which...

Quite true. I'm generally one of those people. However, it's much more likely a LGS is going to get me to buy something from them if I enter the building than if I don't. As it is, since I don't do any gaming in a store at all, I never visit one. They could go out of business and I wouldn't...

I choose not to use antivirus software whenever I can, because it gives a dubious level of security at the real cost of performance on my system. I only use it when mandated by my company. So, when I need to install something so the Citrix Access Gateway scan works, I go with free.

I'm thinking it might be CPU or DB related. I did some surfing with Charles installed (a web proxy that can log sessions for debugging). Almost all images, etc came back with very little latency. On the other hand, text/html responses came back with a 3.5-14 second delay. Since images were...

I want them to convert as3 to bacon.

There's certainly no official Silverlight runtime for Android at the moment. As I understand it, Moonlight doesn't work with the character builder, so an Android port of Moonlight wouldn't help.

I think there's a middle ground between trying to change the mother's mind and backing away completely. I'd probably say something simple like "It's a shame Bobby can't make the game, because I think he'd really have fun. If you've got any concerns or questions about it, I'd love to discuss...

The Worldworks Atlantis set has a giant squid (in pieces, not one single model):
