I am enjoying my brand new iPhone 5c. It isn't as cool as my moms iPhone 5s but it was better than nothing. I ordered the iBlason holster case for my 5c after hearing Gozer talk about his for the 5. Hopefully, either Thanksgiving break or Christmas break, I will build a hackintosh from the ground up. It will be a fun project. As always,love the show   Dawson 8th Grade Geek   Hey guys I have picked up an ouya at my local target for $90. I was thinking about waiting until Christmas but after I learned they have free NES and Gameboy advance emulators I decided to get it immeaditly. I am also looking forward to rooting it to get the google play store and play need for speed most wanted. Also I have finished my novel are language arts teacher assigned us. It is part of NaNoWriMo, or national novel writing month. I have over 8,000 words. As always love the show   Dawson 8th grade geek Hey guys, I hope you haven't podfaded because it's the holiday season and I need y'allses advice!  Also, I need to keep up with the world of general tech and apple....come back! 1.  Gozer, would you get the XCom update pack? Or any good games that dropped recently?  We have an XBOX360 and a PC that are used for games? 2. Do y'all have any thoughts on Chromebooks?  I'm looking to replace my Nook Color since it got lost.  I like it for books, although I enjoy the iPad better but it was nice for Netflix.  Also the plan was to give that to my daughter for her first tablet...but I guess not.  I'm an android so I'm not thinking to get an iPad, but I would like something with a full web browser.  Also, I don't have 500$ for a Windows tablet with the attachable keyboard.  And I'm not totally sold on Windows 8.  Or 8.1 or whatev.  So anyways....I guess I'm asking for a tablet-ish device, full web browser, option keyboard, about 250-300$. Any ideas? Thanks!   -Diana   **************   Sponsors:   Check us out on Stitcher! Visit http://www.stitcher.com/geekcast and sign up.
