so far he's not worth the minute it'd take me to ban him.

yah, I know, I listened to the whole thing. It's mostly that they drive me nuts because I remember the stupid whistles from when I went clubbing back around that time. Something that's a cool participatory thing once, and then becomes every high idiot deciding he's the show.

I've been happy with it on my ipad mini, which is the same hardware, but I'd say don't install it until you're sure you're ready to move, since you can't go back.

very cool

nice descent

a good part of head-fi's value comes from the idiots with a million posts. They're seen as influencers and attract more people. Whether or not we agree with the recommendations they make, or their judgement, or whatever, it's how head-fi attracts new people. And eyeballs and influence are what matter.

Initially it was about building the brand to make money later. I'd be shocked if profit wasn't always the goal. I certainly don't remember there ever being a time without sponsors.

I'd say it happened when it moved from cmoy's forum over to headfi.

if anything, apple retail employees are better informed than other companies' retail employees. I think expectations get set a little high because their retail service writers (which is what they are, really) are called geniuses, instead of service writers. They can't promise apple's going to fix something, even if it's obvious to everyone they will. Which is why I'm kicking myself for losing my failed ssd that apple will now replace for free.

happy birthday

they're doing you a favor, giving you a chance to cancel

I think the english view food as punishment

a sphere

what apple knows and what some guy in an apple store knows are different things.

I can say I love my mini. I'd actually be more interested in an A7 powered mini without the retina display than I am in either of the current ones. Tho with potentially buying an ipad 2 in the near future (christmas present for one of my kids), we're rapidly approaching the "too many devices on one itunes account" limit.

it comes down to: protect the companies or protect the consumers.

you can't make the dock transparent, as far as I've been able to find. I even tried looking through the plist options

not a soul

it definitely should be a free update. cool it was freed for everyone though.
