What are you listening to Part the Third
Joshua Redman with The Bad Plus, Live at the Vitoria-Gasteiz Jazz Festival 2012 http://youtu.be/8I7fLH9Bzn4 This was broadcasted by public TV, but it's not available at their website, so possibly illegal too yet available.

Formula 1 Thread
You're probably right in all the Red Bull stuff going on. I always saw them as a part of a different business, and I'm still pretty dubious about them playing fair on all that superiority their cars had. But that's history now. Over here some "experts" say that what Alonso wants is going to Mercedes, and he might take a sabbatical to let Hamilton's contract due. They base this on the fact that Alonso is at his prime and wants a winning car right now. The only team offering that in one or two seasons is Mercedes unless there's a huge rules change again. The fact is that he still hasn't resigned from Ferrari, nor Ferrari has signed a contract with Vettel. Fernando might fuck Ferrari quite a bit if he refused to go and wanted to let his contract finish to its end after next season. Today's was a weird race even for Suzuka. It's a shame what happened to Bianchi, I wish he makes it. What a case of bad luck

The Headcase Stax thread
I thought the drivers were dust protected by a fine layer of plastic film, so it can't reach the thin space between stator and diaphragm. Reading how it was solved looks like dust outside the driver components can cause the squeal too. Live to learn

Formula 1 Thread
We have a say "second parts never ever were good" (segundas partes nunca fueron buenas) which would apply if Fernando goes back to McLaren/Honda with Ron Dennis fookin' around. Moreover I don't have a clue if Honda is making an engine any better than Mercedes, but to make a winner car from current McLaren this must be a hell of an engine. For Fernando the best outcome would be that Hamilton got pissed with Mercedes--if they clearly favor Rosberg to make the championship-- and he went back to McLaren leaving his seat at Mercedes free. Almost impossible. I'm not aware of Kvyat's potential. I see his promotion more as a marketing move to increase Red Bull drinks sales in the Russian market, which is a big one.

I saw this coming when Botín died. He was Banco de Santander's president (CEO I guess), one of the most active Fernando's fan, so "he" provided the funds and pulled the wires to get Fernando into Ferrari. Now I don't know if Banco de Santander will even be supporting Fernando anymore, or will remain one of Ferrari's sponsors. I just didn't see the Bank paying most of Fernando's wage and all that anymore. In the same way I don't see Ferrari being able to make a seriously competitive car for the next season, nor Baby Schumi doing anything worth there (I'l probably have to swallow this next year hehehe). OTOH Fernando must be sick of waiting for Ferrari delivering a fast well behaved car. Editing because I know shit and heard something wrong somewhere

Pretty weird indeed, but still it sounds to me more like an electronics issue than a drivers' one.

What kind of squeal? Are you sure it's the headphones and not the amp? I can't imagine a reason for them to develop a weird noise or failing.

Cool Kickstarter/Indiegogo Campaigns
Looks like their project is infringing some patents, that's why Indiegogo took down their project page. Prices were pretty interesting.

The link redirects to indegogo but there's no page I can find about Anubixs, Portal or any of them together with smartphone. It looks terrific. Curious about the price.

Ipod Touch / Iphone
Weird. I've upgraded both iPhone and iPad without problems. At first it took a bit longer to find the 4G connection and seemed more fluctuating, but after a minute or so it worked apparently fine. I haven't phoned anyone yet.

Not yet, but after the 0.1 fiasco and now your comment, kind of delaying it for a while.

Ignorant question, does the SIM into the iPhone 5 fit into the 6/6S? I'm not sure if I'm using a microSIM or nanoSIM already.
