Happy Face

...or what DK said.

Foreign players flood the english league because they are cheaper than English players. Why would average English players getting an English player premium that rewards their medicority look elsewhere? Seems only logical that it would be the exceptions who choose to work abroad rather than doing their travelling for European games and in their 3 month holiday.

Have you compared the 6S and oneplus 3? http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=7995&idPhone3=0&sSearch2=iphone+6s&idPhone2=7242

Full version of the best track off the last album (which he sabotaged and cut short during the first chorus) is also available as a free download... http://www.adultswim.com/music/singles-2016/

There's a new Vince Staples ep out

I need one now too. Speaker is crackling during calls on my oneplus1. I know a oneplus 3 is the obvious choice now. But have also been Looking at the Marshall London phone, which has shite specs, but excellent audio. Dug out my 3rd generation ipod the other week and the sound is so much better than my oneplus.

The proposal https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/corbynstays/pages/329/attachments/original/1472552058/Digital_Democracy.pdf?1472552058

no idea. According to Cook they plan to pay US tax when the rate is one they're willing to pay. But can't see them paying tax on the same profits to two countries. Expect the US will be somewhat miffed at Ireland getting the money that was supposed to go on their potholes. That'll be why Ireland are appealing. The drones will be on the way over http://time.com/4452336/apple-ceo-tim-cook-corporate-tax-reform/

Done 3 series in 3 weeks and a couple in to the current series. The balancing of his criminal and family lives is more Sopranos than Scandal, but for writing, character, themes etc... it is more Scandal than Sopranos. Jon Voigt is immense throughout it. Highly recommend it for his performances alone. His turn as a 70 year old doing drugs, drink, prostitutes and robberies while pissing off his entire family and still remaining likeable is a far more endearing portrayal than the miserable/tortured lead character of Ray Donovan himself.

Reminded me of the story I read on the intercept about how Cook is holding th US to ransom... https://theintercept.com/2016/08/16/ceo-tim-cook-decides-apple-doesnt-have-to-pay-corporate-tax-rate-because-its-unfair/ Hopefully a decision like this can embolden the US not to capitulate. I won't hold my breath like.

And Ireland are appealing against the decision! Not Apple.

"This helps put her at ease and know that you are a cool guy" Picturing the sort of men that might follow this advice "cool" isn't the first word that comes to mind.

Not really, but I can copy and paste someone else.... http://boingboing.net/2016/08/12/how-a-digital-only-smartphone.html http://www.fastcompany.com/3062741/the-iphones-disappearing-headphone-jack-reason-for-concern

Apple has built itself up from nothing on the back of stolen music. It loves it. The ipod and itunes would have died a death without people stealing/ripping millions of tracks and it couldn't start shutting down the rights of people to move their music onto their device without alienating the consumer base. It's a different world now though. People don't have "their" music. They rent music from a handful of streaming companies. Apple will allow any of those to be used so their devices will remain popular. Apple Music is in the game now though and wasn't before. They will make a cost analysis decision of what will be lost from the dinosaurs like me who insist on owning their music that don't want to be tied down (mostly not their customers anyway by now, surely) and what will be gained from forcing customers to choose between Spotify, Google, Tidal & Apple Music... but pre-installing Apple Music on all devices. It remains to be seen. Maybe it is all about making the device 1mm thinner and improving waterproofing. That's certainly something they can sell it as, rather than just locking their ecosystem down pointedly. I can well believe it's at least equally a feature to be the final nail in music ownership and piracy though.

They do embed DRM in the tracks themselves don't they? Or did. These become unplayable on most devices. IOS can't control that on an android phone if the code is in ios, so it's not been the place to do it. You have to buy the more expensive version of songs to go DRM free. "FairPlay prevents iTunes customers from using the purchased music directly on any portable digital music player other than the Apple iPod, Motorola ROKR E1, Motorola SLVR, Motorola RAZR V3i, the iPhone and the iPad." They stop consumers listening to what they paid for on other devices, locking them in to their hardware. Now the aim is to stop people moving any OTHER music onto their device that hasn't got a digital receipt. I don't think IOS would lock that down either because there are independent music apps and songs that won't include Apple code. http://www.stereogum.com/1893065/no-control-thoughts-on-the-end-of-the-headphone-jack-and-the-future-of-digital-music/franchises/but-whos-buying/ http://www.theverge.com/2015/6/5/8737537/apple-music-and-the-terrible-return-of-drm

Nah, that was Jonny Depp man.

Shit no, that was the other funny man, Michael Crawford. Lady in Red then.

Condor Man was lush

Happy Birthday AH

While that is a bonus for apple, I think the biggest factor is being able to ensure that music is bought from itunes... "Restricting audio output to a purely digital connection means that music publishers and streaming companies can start to insist on digital copyright enforcement mechanisms." http://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2016/6/21/11991302/iphone-no-headphone-jack-user-hostile-stupid

Damned longhair

He's scored 10+ league goals 3 seasons in a row. Something Gayle has never done. And he was quarter of the price. I'm not rushing out to get his name on a shirt, but he'll do for now.

Pretty sure I read that Apple do all they can to encourage handset recycling. Much better for the company to have people buying cheap older generation models than cheaper, faster, feature laden android phones. Is slowing performance not from apps optimised for the latest model phones, rather than the operating system?
