- They just sent out the notice (it's not on the website yet). Given there was a six week delay last year, I don't think anyone will notice. - spamlet Oct 22, 12:40 1
  - Are we expecting any major changes this year? Still hoping it's worth paying my full property tax before year end. -- nm - Meg Oct 22, 13:16

  - I know, right? So glad they integrated them into the game so they actually mean something. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 12:29 19
    - I sadly didn't even bother with the challenge maps in AC. -- nm - Shaun Oct 22, 12:35 17
      - Word. Not interested in that aspect of the game at all. -- nm - nubby Oct 22, 12:41 1
        
        I even platinumed AA, but doing the non-story stuff didn't interest me in AC. -- nm - Shaun Oct 22, 12:42
      - I did a bunch of them and didn't worry about the ones I couldn't do. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 12:38 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 12:39
      - I never even bothered with most of the puzzles. AC felt like work after about 20 hours. -- nm - David Oct 22, 12:37 11
        
        It helped that they integrated hints into the gameplay. -- nm - nubby Oct 22, 12:42
        
        The only thing I didn't like about AC was that there were simply too many free roam bunches of dudes that had guns. - Shaun Oct 22, 12:41 7
        
        That is why you have tools. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 12:42 1
        
        Blah. For story-related parts, fine have dudes with guns. But for free roaming, bugger off. -- nm - Shaun Oct 22, 12:45
        
        Completely unrelated: I played Dead Rising 2 all the way through once before I realized there was a gun store in the mall. - David Oct 22, 12:42 4
        
        Dude. - Spawn Oct 22, 12:45 1

I was really thinking about an ipad mini, but they seem so... something. - mayor amanda jones Oct 22, 12:20 29
- They're just too ... thin and ... narrow. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Oct 22, 12:40
- I got a Nexus 7 last year, it just made me realize what I really wanted was the Nexus 4. I sold the 7. I wouldn't mind a ipad mini, another ecosystem. -- nm - Qale Oct 22, 12:27
- I think I'm getting my gf one of the Samsung tablets for Christmas. - Krusty Oct 22, 12:24 16
  - The Kindle HDX is getting great reviews. Higher resolution than the retina display. Faster processor than at least the current ipad (not sure about - pmb Oct 22, 12:25 14
    - Coming from the OG Kindle Fire, I wouldn't do that as a tablet replacement. - spamlet Oct 22, 12:34 1

        Ah. I didn't know that. How much does that cut into it? -- nm - pmb Oct 22, 12:39 1
        
        [deleted]
      - not really -- nm - decline Oct 22, 12:34 4
        
        Yes. Maybe you just don't know what you're missing, but tons of apps and games are ios only. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 22, 12:40 3
        
        I think I'll just agree to disagree (and yes I've seen and used all 3 app stores) -- nm - decline Oct 22, 12:48 1
        
        I disagree with your agreement to disagree! - Spawn Oct 22, 12:50
        
        There's literally thousands of games. Most of the big ones the same or virtually interchangeable with others. Same with apps. I have yet to find - pmb Oct 22, 12:47
    - I was looking at them as well. It'll come down to which one I can get cheapest. - Krusty Oct 22, 12:27
  - I think I'm getting one of my gf the Samsung tablets for Christmas. -- nm - WSS Oct 22, 12:24
- I was just looking at the windows tablets, there is a good number of them now. $299 for an 8 in screen with full Windows 8.1 - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 22, 12:24 8
  - I'm sure it's RT which is not full Windows. -- nm - spamlet Oct 22, 12:33 7
    - Really? This one says "full Windows 8.1 " I know the cheap Surface ones are RT but it seems the ones from Dell, Toshiba, Asus are full...(?) -- (link) - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 22, 12:40 6
      - I hadn't seen those. Maybe they are but I'm not sure how great the experience would be. -- nm - spamlet Oct 22, 12:42 5
        
        Why do you think the experience would be lacking? (I am considering getting one so I am curious if there are any drawbacks.) -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 22, 12:45 4
        
        The fact that it uses an Atom processor would scare me if you're doing anything more than internet/e-mail. - spamlet Oct 22, 12:51 2
        
        I see. Well, it is a tablet so I wouldn't really use it for more than the basics. In the future I might be able to get the hospital's EMR on it. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 22, 12:54
        
        That's my hesitation with them and why I'm more inclined for the convertible laptops. -- nm - pmb Oct 22, 12:53
        
        I'm strongly considering getting a windows 8 convertible tablet/laptop to replace my ipad. For just a couple of hundred dollars more I can get a - pmb Oct 22, 12:49

I don't know why anyone would choose the ipad 2 at that price over the new ipad (or the mini) instead. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 22, 11:41 10
- I don't really know why you'd choose a Mini over an iPad. - spamlet Oct 22, 12:17 7
  - i did. it is lighter and way easier to carry in my purse, i take my mini everywhere. -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 12:24 3
    - Yeah, I like the mini much better than I did my iPad. Easier to carry and just more convenient in general. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 22, 12:38
    - I guess I'm not taking purses into account. - spamlet Oct 22, 12:33 1
      - Lighter in a brief case too. - pmb Oct 22, 12:38
  - I have both and use my mini more. Though admittedly my ipad is first generation. I just think it's easier to handle and more portable. -- nm - pmb Oct 22, 12:21 1
    - this is my thing. I find the ipad so *bulky.* -- nm - mayor amanda jones Oct 22, 12:22
  - what if you have wee lil hands ? -- nm - decline Oct 22, 12:19
- I'm tempted to add up the value of our iPads + iPods and see if it would equate to a reasonable price for two minis and an air for my wife -- nm - oblique Oct 22, 11:50
