Well now my essay feels inadequate...

But seriously though, good job, and best of luck!

I think the mods for r/iama take care of it.

To be fair (as a longtime redditor), reddit is guaranteed to go down after anything slightly out of the ordinary (and even then it's not too uncommon).
I definitely like the black status bar, but for some reason I think the rounded corners just make the applications feel claustrophobic. Or, maybe it's just because I prefer Android. But I honestly feel that a black status bar but straight corners is the best feel for me, personally.

I bought a new MacBook Pro during WWDC this year. I had the option to get the RMBP, but I didn't, and I don't regret my decision. The performance vs. cost ratio of this laptop is significantly higher (plus I get a disc drive), and honestly with the high-res screen, I have to be a lot closer than my normal viewing distance to notice a difference between this and the RMBP.

Only thing I think I think I'll regret in the future is not getting an SSD. Oh well. I like my storage space more than my speed.

I know everyone else is saying this, but it also works in NYC and a lot of the tri-state outside of the city.
Yeah, if looked really good, but all the textures (on PC at least) were extremely low-res, and it was distracting.
Didn't Half-Life 2 have dynamic lighting?
