Thanks for all the bacon related birthday wishes folks. A bit of a quiet day all in all, but not bad for that. I did manage to get a free diet coke from an International Tax Consultant, which is less glamorous than it sounds, but educational. The Day was Bacon Free, but not by design. This will not stand. . I wonder who could help me with that? Cheers Y'All.

Which is ironic as HMV has just gone into administration (receivership) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21030442

Today only Tapatalk HD for Android $0.99 (down from $4.99) reviews are mixed as to if it is an improvement over Tapatalk on Adroid tablets. Could be worth getting now, to see if updates improve it.

If you are happy with the audio being resampled 44.1k -> 48k https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2715198?start=0&tstart=0 And issues with the optical out put https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3789959?start=0&tstart=0 And the firmware updating not working for non obvious reasons ... http://www.zdnet.com/the-incredibly-annoying-case-of-the-apple-tv-update-7000008387/ Then knock yourself out. its fine for its intended purpose, less so for audio. You might consider the raspberry pi for such duties. It too is a work in progress Some people have used it as a (n underpowered) LMS Server Or more reasonably as a client (with external usb dacs, but there seem to be issues with the pi's USB audio / Stack) and then packaging it up in a retro form factor The hdmi interface (for audio output) does not seem to suffer from these issues ... (search for squeezelite , raspberry pi, HDMI audio output) We live in interesting times for cheap, capable, streaming audio transports / clients.

The article sums it up pretty well. If the purpose of celebrity endorsement is that you can be just like your favorite celebrity, by buying stuff they endorse, fair enough. This assumes you value their judgment (assuming it hasn't been bought). Given that, what profession headphone listening celebrities ("They could have any headphone in the world, but they chose ours") would you trust. Is Tyll a celebrity?

Then enjoyed this fine dining experience

^Yep. Flash over substance. No tactile feedback, and if its re-configurable, no muscle memory. They need to speak to some real human factors people. But it is nice And there's voice control + steering wheel buttons. http://reseclectica.blogspot.com/2012/09/why-touchscreens-in-cars-are-very-bad.html http://www.conceivablytech.com/10260/products/touch-in-cars-is-still-too-complicated http://tech.slashdot.org/story/12/08/14/0350225/touch-interfaces-in-cars-difficult-to-use http://www.teslamotors.com/it_IT/forum/forums/dashboard-touchscreen

An ex co-worker dropped by at lunchtime to show us his new Tesla S . Its nice to be a kept man if you have a lawyer for a wife I guess ... Very Nice. And it can shift if you want to deplete the battery ... Impressive.
