    Its actually pretty useful, the only thing is when you stream HD stuff it might freeze if your internet isnt up to par. Works for mac too http://www.macupdate.com/...c/30399/ps3-media-server go there to get it.
    When you run the program on your computer you can go to your PS3 and stream media to it wirelessly.

    Social networks, some light video editing, school work, occasional pron, nothing too crazy [​IMG]
    I'm willing to upgrade the ram and to a SSD if it will keep my system running quick though.

    By time you put that 16gb of ram to use, it'll be slow.

    Official Apple Thread anyone?.. 
    [​IMG]

    I recently just got an Apple Air Laptop from my pops. 
    First time ever with an Apple Computer.. and I must say it takes some time to get used to.. 

    Quick Questions:
    Whenever I try and do a 'Software Update' it doesn't automatically install 'The Apple Store'.. 
    I have no clue how to install that to my computer.. [​IMG]

    Also, does anyone know how to 'Right Click' on an Apple Air btw?.. [​IMG]

    After Effects is killing me.

    Hoping to pick up a current macbook air for a discount when the new models come out.  I think I should be able to get the 13'' 128 gb for $8-900.  Need more functionality than my ipad.

    this might be petty, but does anyone know how to disable the "Reopen windows when logging back in" option when you shut down your computer?
