  6. Its interesting that the increase in spam, and the corresponding drop in signal to noise ratio is why some people have moved away from email as a communications medium. "email is for old people" http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/21/technology/21email.html http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2007/dec/06/digitalcommunication

  8. But will deleting your account remove your email from their (previously sold?) mailing list? In the same way as using a unique identifier (middle initial, etc) when "registering" stuff with your physical name / address - so you can identify the source of spam , maybe you should use a disposable / forwarding / aggregating email address . Of course now that the HF horse has bolted its a bit late to bar the email gate as it were. Mind you, if you, like me, have friends + relations who don't and won't understand the concept of bcc, no matter how many times you tell them, then many of your email addresses are already out in the wild, never to fade away. (E.g. how many times have you seen a "Here's a funny" with multiple fw's and cascaded email addresses ripe for harvesting.)
  9. You really are a Yorkshireman, aren't you.
  10. That's 100% at the latest version (4.2) Don't you know how to extrapolate (marketing) trends from a sample size of 1!
  11. All of mine, since I got them direct from Google, rather an a carrier branded version. Do you have any non apple iDevices? thought not. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
  12. the cost of service is the same no matter who's phone you have - if all you were buying was the service. If they can offer you a "free" phone, then guess what - you're overpaying for the service. In some countries they have this thing called "transparency" where you can compare the cost of the service vs the cost of the phone, and work out how much the effective APR is for the loan on the phone the telco is providing you with. People who can do TCO calculations have picked up on this and engage in phone arbitrage in some markets, where they acquire in one market at resell it in another at an effective profit. As to "used" non apple devices having no value, it would appear that some people have spotted the opportunity for arbitrage here as well. http://www.gazelle.com/sell/cell-phone http://sellphonebuyback.com/default/ http://www.buybackworld.com/sell-and-recycle-android http://www.talkandroid.com/125953-samsung-offering-buyback-program-for-old-phones-if-you-buy-a-galaxy-device/

  14. So in years to come, people may have to warn their daughters about, or check the negative patient outcomes of Doctor Crappy, M.D. ? Congrat!
  15. ^ Nothing per se, its just that "they were only obeying orders" from either the band or the music execs. Some of the mastering engineers are attempting to push back. http://dynamicrangeday.co.uk/loudness-war-open-letter/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war http://www.hippocraticmastering.com/whatismastering I wish them well.
  16. Happy Birthday JP #'s, Have a good one!
  17. An apple "upgrade" to encourage you to "upgrade"?
  18. The Color on your monitor needs calibrating. Or Squeegeeing.
  19. Ric, if you follow the link in my post you'll see it comes from the blurb about the HOLM DSPre 1 - itself an interesting product - DAC / DSP based preamp / crossover with optional room correction downloadable (to firmware?) That's what they said, and I'm inferring / Reverse engineering from marketing speak - so I could be wrong. How much of it applies to the parasound DAC is a subject for conjecture. If only we knew of an IP lawyer who could actually look at what they are claiming
  20. Shelly, What you can do is Mount the N7 as an external drive using USB and see what you can see / delete (mounts directly to PC - Mac may need app) Get the ES file explorer app + see what you can see / delete in the file system https://play.google....droid.pop&hl=en See if anything is left after a factory reset ( you can do it twice) Don't worry, the NSA has copies of everything anyway EDIT: Barbie If you installed but didn't open it, then nothing should have been executed ... installation being handled by the installer, not the app
