Re: So don't shop while at work?

Man sues Apple for allowing him to become addicted to porn

envmod

Epiphany

I was genuinely unaware that my penchant for staging the six inch olypics on a regular basis, was entirely beyond my control. Far from blaming Apple et al, I actually would like to go further back and blame Paul Raymond for not explicitely informing me that the contents of his special interest magazines in the 80s could potentially cause arousal.

In fact there was a girl on the tube this morning who was looking pretty hot and wearing quite a short skirt. She was probably hotter than my wife if I'm honest.

Think I'll sue her as well.

'The Apprentice' is a load of old codswallop, says biz prof

envmod

downvotes?

who's giving all the sensible comments (ie the ones deploring the apprentice as possibly the most pointless, overhyped, cringeworthy television show on TV) the thumbs down?

is sugar on here?

if he is - i'd just like to say you're a total idiot. when did you suddenly become some business guru? you fucked up amstrad and tottenham hotspur, coudn't make it in the real business world so resorted to becoming some kind of "celebrity" cross between noel edmunds and the business studies teacher everybody laughs at.

"BBC reality"TV show The Apprentice is totally rubbish and offers no lessons of any value on how to succeed in business"

Using encryption? That means the US spooks have you on file

envmod

i always thought this would be the case

i've always thought thst using TOR and the like would actually draw attention to you rather than the desired effect of making you anonymous... basically, the authoroties will assume you wouldn't be using such a service unless you're up to something. it was probably fucking set-up by the NSA in the first place to amass a nice database of all the likely terrorists/crims/pedos/capitalist dissenters around the globe.

Re: Just one more thing...

sorry, are you trying to claim it's apple's fault that 4K displays are not readily available? or that it's somehow wrong to include support for 4K displays?

Which petite model likes a fondle and GETTING WET? Sony's Xperia ZR

envmod

Xperia Z

I have an Xperia Z. It's awesome and I think should be included in more An Tu Tu/Geekbench benchmarking tests - you only ever see Samsung and Google phones for comparison.... My Xperia scores over 20,000 on An Tu Tu, more than pretty much everything else apart from the S4 and HTC One (and is comparible to them). Anyway, that aside - the phone is awesome and it feels so liberating to use the thing in the bath, and just casually throw it into the water for shits and giggles. Didn't dare to test it for ages... then finally took the plunge (pun intended) and dunked the thing. I don't know if I'd be able to go back to a non-waterproof phone now...like many people have said - smartphones get used in so many situations where being waterproof is very desirable (i have previously broke an iPhone by accidentally chucking down the toilet).

NODNOL

I've lived in various bits of SW London (Tooting, Balham, Wimbledon) for the last 7 odd years and have never achieved more than 7mbps from either NTL (when they used to still be called that), 02, BT or Virgin.

I think all this 20meg stuff is a myth. nobody really gets that and if they say they do they're fibbing.

i just did a test with speedtest on my sony xperia z currently on O2s HSDPA+ network - got 13.3mb download and 2.2mb upload! That's twice as bloody fast as my fixed broadband connection at home...which quite frankly, annoys me a little bit.

Re: Cisco is the problem, Skype is good enough

you never heard of Webex? Audio conferencing? MS Lync? The alternative is to FLY several directors over? What century are you living in? There's a multitude of alternatives to bloody Skype.

Skype is for domestic use, end of.

envmod

Re: Cisco is the problem, Skype is good enough

"good enough" aka "fuck it, that'll do".

nice attitude.

i take it concerns about security, reliability, audio and visual quality etc are just too petty for you to bother with. i wonder if your CEO feels the same way?

Re: i've just got one of these

hmmm, i haven't seen a sound pressure override setting no...but i may be missing something..

*investigates*

envmod

i've just got one of these

made the big switch over from iphone no less.... has been a breeze and i much prefer android. anyway, i love the xperia z but the main problem i have with it is the ridiculously low volume when playing back MP3s through the headphones. For a "Walkman" phone, I thought the sound quality would be top notch (and plently loud) but alas, no. I've had to install PowerAmp and use it's software amplification to boost the volume to an acceptable level and for the more longer term, am going to have to get a dedicated mobile headphone amp. which is slighly annoying.

great phone in all other regards though and i manage to make my battery last 2 DAYS without a charge (admittedly not with heavy use).

Re: the imac audio stutter fix is long overdue

i do indeed use an external sound card - the slightly old now, but awesome Edirol FA-101 FireWire 10 in 10 out number. Still get the stuttering though, so must be to do with Core Audio as you suggested.

why the hell not?

i hate this kind of thinking... it's called progress mate. it's the natural order of things - they get faster, thinner, more functions, better graphics, etc etc. this has been happening in the electronics world since day one. what would you rather everyone was only ever allowed a nokia 3310? actually that's probably a bit too advanced. why the hell does anyone have a mobile phone at all eh? everyone's got a landline haven't they? what was ever wrong with that??
