Sorry wasn't referring to Jimmy Kimmel. I don't even consider him a comedian. Just that guy that was in The Man Show. Redneck comedians are like Jeff Foxwothty and Larry the Cable Guy.
The sad part is, if you here their "non-redneck" stick then they are really good. Bill Inval was the closest to a real comedian and tends to shy away from the redneck in his sets and focuses on more real issues.
Ron White is kinda a dickhead and doesn't have many jokes. That being said he is by far the best out of the band that is the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. He also isn't much of a redneck. He's just a sleazy drunk Texan.
Then I'm glad I've never heard of those comedians.
I'm somewhat surprised you haven't at least heard of Larry the Cable Guy. The others haven't done anything ever but Larry was in Cars which is known internationally. Not that I enjoy either of those things.

Right, I was confused. I didn't mean Ron White, I meant Tater Salad.
I want it also. It has even higher resolution than my monitor. That's just incredible regardless of any other factor. The problem is the price is a little bit high, and it's only 16GB, where my iPhone is 32GB.
Honestly, the seven-inch size is the perfect zone for tablets. It fits great in your hand, is bigger enough than a phone to matter, but small enough that it's not like carrying a dinner plate.
Hows the battery life on the iPad mini? Im looking at getting something that could be an ereader/tablet. I was looking at the kindle fire but was put off by the 10 hour battery life.
Blast thats what I thought. I suppose I should look into recharge times as well. I might be moving over seas for a couple of years and can't take my books and junk with me. So Im looking at getting a new laptop and tablet/e-reader to cover the media side.
They're hard to compare. A tablet can be used for reading ok but even my basic Sony 505 will run rings around it for battery and possibly the display type, but it's probably not worth giving up all the other functions of a tablet for unless you are both a heavy reader and will have use of a smart phone where you are.

Check deals woot and similar sites because I've seen kindle and nook readers go for like $40 sometimes.
My pixel density and resolution requirements are such that I can't see individual pixels under normal use conditions. As this is the definition of Retina screens, the term Retina has become a useful shortcut, despite staring life as a marketing term. It's especially useful for referring to a device called, literally, "iPad Mini with Retina".
My Nexus 4 has a pixel density of 320 (Retina is 326 at similar size). Even when Apple started calling their screens by the marketing term "Retina" other manufactures were selling devices with pixel densities superior to that of the "Retina" line.

The 'Retina' displays are not nearly high enough yet to 'truly' be out our eye's resolution. First off, they highly overestimate the distance you hold your device from your eyes. (You do not hold an iPhone with an outstreched arm). Secondly, even at that resolution, it simply isn't enough.
The resolution of their screens is higher, sure. But it's not nearly high enough. It's like the difference between a 20 frames per second videogame and a 40fps one. It'll look a lot smoother, but it's nothing compared to 120 frames. You can still 'see' the individual pixels (If they didn't bleed into each other), it's just really hard.

One year ago the Nexus 10 released with a pixel density of 300 (iPad was at 264 and called retina). Retina means nothing outside of Apple's marketing. Even among their own products the pixel density is not consistent yet they all carry the name.
Still waiting for retina desktop computer monitors. How come the new iPad mini is 2048x1536 and my 24" monitor is 1920x1200. How come the new Mac Pro they bragged about supporting 4K displays, but where is the 4K studio display?

Okay, to be clear: the stepup from my iPhone 3GS to 4S in terms of screen resolution is the same step I want from the iPad Mini model from last year. The new Mini is called "with Retina". That is good enough for MY eyes under MY use cases. If you don't like the term, great, but that is the name of the product, and you understood my meaning even before clarification.

I like Bill Engvall too. Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy (except as Tow Mater) annoy me.
Luke is an iPhone + iPad guy so ask him.
