How did you like the transformer prime? Supposedly a pretty decent machine...

I loved it when I was in school. The keyboard makes it much easier for note taking, and crazy battery life so no need to find a charger at the library. I just annotated on top of pdfs and could draw in diagrams with my hand and type notes too.

But since I graduated in june, I used it more in tablet mode for couch surfing. Got a nexus 7 though as a gift so been using that more now.

When you guys get into med school and start anatomy, you should think about getting Visible Body, the body is displayed in 3D and lets you rotate everything, hide or remove muscle layers, etc.. It's $30, but holy cow is it good. Money well spent. 👍

My girlfriend says the best way to learn anatomy is cadaver lab. Would you agree? I've already inherited her netters flashcards.

I hate lab, but thats just me. It is interesting to see the 3D spatial view of how everything relates, but I just hate being in there. It's pretty low yield for me and I could do better looking at an atlas/lecture notes and going in when everyone's gone just to relate 2D drawings with 3D real life.

Are you guys allowed to pull out the other group's cadavers? The M1s at nova made it sound like they could only touch their assigned one but my gf and her classmates could look at anyone's even after hours as long as they didn't prosect another group's.

Can look at others, and it's recommended for variation between cadaver to cadaver.

Cannot dissect at all though, only on your groups assigned one.

Yeah, we are allowed to open anybody's cadaver and take a peek. I don't know about going ahead and dissecting another group's cadaver, but as long as you leave everything where it was when you opened the bag, it's all good. In fact, you NEED to look at everyone's body because you're obviously going to be tested on everyone's body and not just yours.

For instance, this Monday was our first anatomy written and lab practical. Friday-Sunday there were people in the labs constantly looking at everyone's cadavers. During our scheduled lab hours in the afternoon, we mainly dissect our own cadavers. But of course there can't be all five or six of us cutting and slicing away at once, so usually there will be three or four of us dissecting, while the others go and wander around the other cadavers or go listen to the professors talking about the prosected parts they have brought out for that lab.

Overall, I love lab... much more than lecture. Although, I must say I learn the anatomy most by reading and looking at atlases, then I go to the lab and put everything together.

Neurolax can chime in here, but I'm pretty sure you're allowed to look at the other cadavers and you can go into the lab any time. It has the same hours as the library.

Edit:
Thanks for chiming in. Lol

Haha beat you to it! Yeah, same thing as DrWily said. No dissecting others bodies, only your own. However, you need to at least look at everyone's bodies because you're tested on them.

EDIT: 9 more posts til I'm a member of the 1k club!

What's your secret MedPR, post pad? I don't buy that MCAT thread stuff you spoon feed us.
Click to expand...

Eh, well the MCAT thread stuff is partly true. I think I posted about 5k posts in there from Dec 2011 to April 2012. From there it's mostly what DrWily said though. It's going to get worse now that I have the SDN mobile app.

I'm not really sure what is wrong with it actually. Sometimes it'll work fine, and other times I'll get Full bars -> No Bars -> Full bars signal over and over.

My wife's Iphone 4 works perfect though.

Also I'm in love with jailbroken features so I can't jump ship.

Iphone on teh go, Ipad in my backpack, powerhouse PC at home for heavy computing.

Works great for me! Plus I hate having large things in my pocket. Gets in the way of my junk.
 
New iPhone is lighter and thinner. 4" screen, better processor, wifi, and 4G capable. I almost wish they had changed the form of it a bit. Oh well, looks pretty awesome either way.

Yeah, my 3GS was doing that to me. Same thing with the wifi. I'm pretty sure the radio chip is going out on it. Or maybe it was the funky busted up screen! 😀

Good work on the iPhone 5, now to order
 
Anyone else miss the days when you go home to see that bright red light flashing on your answering machine, listen to some chump leave you a message, and never call them back?

Or the times when you get out of track and field practice early and you collect call your mom, when it says "please say your name" you spew out "MOMCOMEPICKMEUPRIGHTNOW" and hang up?

Nope. Because I couldn't just delete messages without listening to them first. Now you can see who left it and delete it.

I have had galaxy s and now using galaxy s2. Just frustrated with Samsung taking forever with software updates for android. The nexus gets updates immediately, and the Nokia is a flagship windows phone that has new innovative features. Just waiting for new nexus which will prob come december or jan.

Nexus is a series of Google developer devices. They release new one every year. the nexus one was htc, the last two have been Samsung, and no idea who will do this years device. But for that series Google handles all the software updates and it is pure stock android, no manufacturer software mods like gs3 has.

Sitting hear churning out orgo lab reports. Have a big biochem test on monday, but trying to enjoy the moment. In fact, I think I'll go crack a beer while I finish explaining why my Grignard reagent was boss.

Duh, grignard is always boss. And simple too. Lol. Makes synthesis a cinch, if you can use it.
Besides, anything that looks like it should be pronounced grig-nard but actually sounds more like grin-yard is cool in my book. And my book is cool. Quite cool
