My purchasing ethos based purely upon whether something looks nice and/or has a cool name wins out again
Oh I understand very clearly about the 'nerdy stuff' including sideloading the Fire to accept standard android apps without having to load a custom android image to it (which you can do as well) and also using StrongVPN or another VPN service to access the premium content offered on the Kindle Fire i.e. NetFlix a/c, Hulu a/c, Amazon 'Premium' a/c, I was just patiently explaining earlier that most of the fuckwits that have rushed out to buy the Kindle Fire here because it is a trendy buzz word are morons with too much money and exactly the kind of wankpots who will sit there going it's not working....

Honestly, I had no idea that I wouldn't be able to access the app store or other stuff when I bought it. I just thought; 'fuck, that's cheap and it looks cool'.
My comments were, as usual, parodies. All three of you are comparative nerds :]
After I made the purchase, I did some reading and discovered my future problems while I was waiting for it to arrive. It's really not too hard to root it and get onto the google marketplace. It's all working quite nicely now and I've transferred my books over, which is the main thing I'll use it for. I'm a bit worried about the battery life but I don't see it being too much of an issue since we seem to have mini-usb chargers dotted around in all seven corners of the house, what with their recent ubiquity.
Doubt I'll watch any films on it - I've never used my other tablets or phones for such frippery. I don't see the point when I've got a television the size of a medium sized Romanian dwelling in my living room.
Looks like it's gonna be good for dicking around on the internets and watching poor quality stolen live footie streams, though. Adobe is Amazon's friend, I hear.
How quaint.
On a Slightly more serious note, the parents have a 46" telly. Last weekend, as I visited I sat there thinking it was hella small, and that they should really pick up something better. Then I realised it's still enormous compared to what I had when I was at uni, and probably compared to what most people have, and indeed compared to the screens on my tablet and phone. It felt a bit surreal, somehow.
Get a projector, and you too can experience the superiority complex that comes with watching stuff on 100"+, daily.

Anything below 720p can look a bit blurry, though.

Fuck me, mate. I'm not made of krona like wot you are.
I remember that The fashioned one from a real actual laboratory projector he nicked from school and posted pics.
It put me off ever owning one. Might just have been the lack of any kind of wall facing or just the festering wank pile of wank that was The's room.
Anyway, I've got too much 3D stuff to be thinking about projectors. I assume that would be a problem.
Mine has 3d-support
It's one of these.
I found it trickier to pick a screen than the projector itself. There are a lot of choices ranging from like £100 for 90" up to two or three times what the projector itself costs. And different choices of whites and greys with different gains and refractions, suitable for different lighting conditions.
Could paint a wall as well, and use that, but the paint matters too.

The game just changed
For some reason, I just assumed you wouldn't get 3D. idk why since I've watched films in the cinema in 3D.
So basically you can just plug everything into the back of that which you would normally plug into your tellybox, rite?
Do you have to put it on the ceiling?
