I'm actually starting to agree with P that we should migrate soon after this forum runs its course.

We should look up stuff once that happens... Would it be a big forum about general discussion or anime/manga or what?

I really would recommend trying to venture into being aware of some of the tech stuff. It isn't going anywhere and if you are going to be a nerd might as well hone your craft. Also its not that difficult to put yourself on a wizard sort of status. The average person knows absolutely nothing about tech at all. The average Masters degree doesn't know much more than that. Why not jump on a field where the competition in regards to the average is slim and none and most of the stuff isn't that difficult. You know I'm a stats guy and most of you are too hence why we are drawn to DB. Just knowing who the players are and the builds already gets you in the door. Hardware is much easier to be aware of than software. And most of you have somegood software skills considering you built a forum and have added all these extra nooks and crannies.
But yea I brought my obsessions with me to new lands. I was big into Apple. That's how I got started. So I got to understand some of the basics of their chips, what enabled them to do what they do. Breaking it down simply I find CPU, GPU , mAh , Camera Megapixel, PPI to be some of the most important topics regarding phones. I started looking into different screens, LCD vs LED vs OLED etc. This interest lead me to looking into Televisions and I learned about their nonsensical categorization and marketing bullshit. Dynamic contrast, motion flow etc.

This has also enabled me to save a ton of money. Learning the specs allows you to be aware of what is a good deal and what is not. For example. Apple has their phones and their price and there is not many options due to all of the proprietary software and their agenda. Android on the other hand has tons of options and creates a much better consumer market.

The Nexus line from Google is by far the best bang for your buck you can have. I have a Nexus 5,7 and a Chromecast. I'm pretty much all set tech wise plus I got a 58 inch tv. Now I think adding the computer really finalizes my agents in being ad tech savvy as necessary. My needs are minimal. Media devices are really all that I'd required for me. Although I'd like to dip my toe into some software I have my doubts about my abilities there. I would like to as a long term goal create an app to make my job more efficient and perhaps make a decent buck doing so.
But basically in the phone world, you have your CPU and the top CPU of mobile is Quallcom imo. They have the Snapdragon 400,600 and 800. The S5 has the Snapdragon 800 I believe. I used to be up on every phone release as I feel mobile is not only the most progressive but most interesting and influential of all sectors. Once I acquired a certain amount of knowledge it seems that the market has gone a different direction. CPU advancements seem to have stagnated but other areas have improved. GPU seems to be the next big thing to have major improvements.

Nvidia for example is supposedly releasing a GPU for mobile this year to bring Mobile gaming to the Xbox 360- PlayStation 3 levels of gameplay. Which when you start looking at the size of a graphics card blows your mind. A Graphics card is bigger than a phone yet the mobile parts obviously need to be much smaller yet aren't as far behind. Its amazing stuff.
So although I like to debate DB I like to debate about this stuff and learn as much as I can. This may not be the forum to do so but I'm comfortable here so I don't know. Right now my next ventures are the PC world which I've long avoided dur to difficulty and underlying feeling of mobile completely surpassing it but there's definitely going to be a good deal of time before mobile completely makes PC irrelevant. Another 5-10 years or so, so I might as well master this as much as I can .
And regarding you guys opinion on Berserk manga vs anime I'd have to agree. Whenever a anime dilutes the manga too much is a good time to stick to the manga. I think I will use PB to get a good copy.

Heavily doubt mobile will ever make PC irrelevant.

The "Post PC Era" is pretty much bullshit in my eyes.

If you look at the rate of improvement over the last couple of years I think you might reconsider. I mean just consider how mobile is now looking at PS3 levels this year. Clash of Clans type games becoming unneeded . Which is a game I love and actively play. But still the possibilities of drastically reducing the size and still matching up is bound to happen
There's too much money in RND for smsrtphones. The technology goes where the money goes and mobile dominates the money.

I'm not sure. We'd be assuming that the technological advancements would also crunch down the cost, correct? In order to make PC's irrelevant, mobile would have to cost less or just as much as its competition, no?

Not only that, but to make them 100% irrelevant, not only in the eyes of the consumer, but the people who develop software, wouldn't you say that's a bit impossible? I mean, people use super computers to program games and such these days.

I just don't see that sort of advancement in the next 5 - 10 years.

I guess I'm talking about irrelevancy on a main stream scale. There will always be a need for a computer, what I'm talking about is the disappearance of PC on a large scale. One day soon I feel not every house will have a PC. But they will all have multiple mobile devices. The advances in PC has stagnated due to the market dying down, limited competition etc. Intel doesn't have much competition from AMD and weren't smart enough to jump on the mobile market which is now dominated by Qualcomm. Intel is starting to shift its resources towards mobile now as well but they are already behind the eight ball. This is a similar scenario with Windows and Blackberry trying to break into the OS game. I feel it is too late for these companies and I don't think there is enough innovation behind the PC world. It is on its last legs like BB or Windows ( in mobile ).
For example. Intel and Windows monopoly on the PC sector has only lead to the PC stagnating. Intel's chips aren't really that much better than their last years chips. Or the year before that. Same with Windows. Windows 8 just isn't really a major advancement over Windows 7. When talking about PC essentially we are talking about Windows and Intel. Wherever they go the PC goes due to their monopoly. A monopoly is doomed to be surpassed as it is never challenged. This is kind of like Freeza and Goku in a way. Windows and Intel are both allocating major resources to get into the Mobile sector because that's where the money is as well as that's the future. Some giant machine sitting Ing home is not our future. Everything being electronic is. Wearable, embeddable. Thats the future. Windows and Intel are trying to get a big sloe inefficient monster to try to start chugging along the mobile sector only to get dwarfed by the hungry mobile innovators in Apple and Google. The progress of software and hardware sector is getting ridiculous at this point. Its just an unstoppable machine funded by the biggest market in the world.

That's not what I mean...

It's not that I'm burnt out on you guys, but when a couple more months pass, I can see this forum being dead.

We'd essentially be doing what the Neoseeker guys did by migrating to Pojo.

Nevertheless I loved the anime and i'm lovin the manga with what I read so far but that's just me lol.
Well that's probably because you watched the animu first. If you would've read the mangu first you'd understand why I don't really care for the anime. I don't thinks it's bad or anything... it just has some dumb moments particularly the ending.

And I started the mango at Chapter 1 so basically the entire story up to- I'll just call it the "event" was spoiled but oh well. If you want my opinion q123, I'd go with the mango but start where cyocks said.
