Quite clearly taking a leaf out of the Daily Mail method of headlines :

EYE-GASMIC: Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch with Retina Display

Re: Customer Satisfaction

" I'm nowhere near maxing out, and if it came to that the resale value of the laptop is nothing short of spectacular, which would go a long way to funding a new gadget"

Have a desktop/laptop with upgradeable parts? Need more memory? Splash out the £50 for some more, there you go, more memory.

Have something like this and want more memory? Look to sell it and then purchase next model up with more memory while still forking out well over the £50/100 it would cost for a simple memory upgrade.

Seems legit.

"Do I miss the flaky audio glitches and never-ending pain of device drivers and antivirus on my PC?"

Ah yes, the 'pain' of ensuring your computer is protected from viruses. Far better to buy an Apple device at inflated cost, because they are impervious to any such things.

Apple Store workers' inner journey revealed

"Anthony, third in line, was a position or two back from his usual Apple launch slot and had the most cogent explanation for his intended purchase: he's out of memory in his 64GB iPad"

£579 for 128GB iPAD vs £48 for extra 64GB SD card to plug in to an existing tablet

Yep, most cogent explanation yet for why Apple don't include expandable storage

HOLY how-did-we-get-here?: Batman Arkham Origins

More of the same.....plus some new bugs

Compared to Arkham City, this contains a bucket load more bugs. Some are progress breaking too (Penguins lair and Burnley Comms Tower mainly). There are also instances of not being able to interrogate criminals because they are stuck in an animation loop. Flying from a building Batman will sometimes act like a mermaid and go all flipper-like in the air for 10 seconds before spreading his wings.

Don't get me wrong, it still feels and looks a great game and I'm sure the bugs will be ironed out in updates, but when bugs stop you completing missions it's rather annoying.

Oh and doing just the main story fills about 28% of the completion count. The rest is spent on side missions like the Riddlers pickup traps, etc.
