Personally I don't see myself buying any new devices. I have iPod Nano, iPhone and MacBook Pro, and I can't see myself carrying around anything else.
Same here. The iPad 2 works fine for me and my needs. Also with my recent purchase of the iPhone 5, I don't need to be making any new Apple purchases anytime soon.
I will say that the 30 pin/Lightning adapter sucks. If you have a case for your iPhone 5, the adapter won't fit at all. They shouldn't have made the base as wide as the 30 pin to where it connects to the iPhone 5. I am more than likely going to return it and just get another Lightning cable.

There is a cable-shaped 30 pin/Lightning adapater as well that may work better than the rectangular one, assuming that's the one you got.
Yeah. I went ahead and called Apple to return my order to get a free shipping label along with adding the other adapter to my order. The customer care person hooked me up on expedited shipping.
Also another fail on Apple's part is that you can't have your phone automatically disable notifications if you are listening to music or podcasts on the iPhone. Unless I physically go into the settings and turn off notifications before I listen to whatever, there is no other way to disable them.
I don't understand how this is not an option that's available already.
That feeling you get when a friend on Facebook likes Mitt Romney, but then posts a picture of their kid watching Sesame Street saying, "Thank you Elmo for a few minutes of free time." *sigh*
I've got quite a few republican friends. They run the gamut of hating the public face of the party because it's insane to frequently posting news articles about Obama's conspiracies. The key is knowing when to engage and when to walk away.
I am friends with people for reasons other than political views, so that factors into it too.
My problem is when their political views reveal them to be bad people. For most Republicans, I think that approaches inevitability as the party continues to slide Right.
If their argument is "I'm a Republican because I liked the party 30 years ago" then that's also a problem. There's really less and less opportunity to morally justify Republicanism as time goes on.
Democrats are just as bad; i was listening to one of their talking heads on the news and she said that everyone was disenfranchised and the we should vote for Obama.

This is true, but at the same time a lot of states don't allow you to vote in a primary unless you are registered for that party. If you have any hope of bringing sane republicans into the mix, the primaries are where it's at.
It's the same thing as saying America is going down the shit-hole, but I'm going to stay here and vote and try to effectuate change from the inside versus moving to another country. My republican friends don't want to move to another country (party) because they want to fix the one they're in.
The Republicans are too far gone. To effect real change, you're better off joining the democrats and voting in their primaries, even if you want conservative-ish crap.

The democrats have just as many crazies and the head of their party is different only in title just like the Republicans.

Edit: It works. Sweet. That'll work out for when I'm listening during my commute.
