    I'd buy one for $3.99 though. Surely there's $3.99 worth of parts in that thing.

    Actually my headphones are Bose QC25, so...

    In Soviet Russia, my headphones listen to YOU! (as in, not me but everyone around me).

    This movie seemed far-fetched when it came out in 1998. We're not even two decades later and it's now the accepted norm.

    I'm afraid to think about how things will be in 2037.

  9. Damn. This thread was doing fine until you brought up 3D printers.

    Anyone else want to contribute? Arduino, drones, anything?

    Seems like yesterday the wife was bitching and moaning about how much time I spent playing that game. I'm getting old, fast.

    It seems you're also getting Alzheimer's.

    Believe me, the question should be "What other languages do you think you fluently speak/etc" because you'd have a hard time recognizing what they speak as "english".

  19. I've heard one model is going to be called "iPhone Edition".

    Is it just me, or is that a wrong usage of the word Edition? It's like nobody at Apple noticed they're missing a word in there - or they're even more afraid of Tim Cook than they were of Steve Jobs. I mean, shouldn't there be a modifier in front of it? iPhone Special Edition, iPhone OLED Edition, etc?

    Coupled with the official apologies for the trash can Mac "Pro" ("Pro" my ass, eh Phil?), rumours of touch ID being at the back of the phone or even dropped altogether... if they don't correct their thinking real soon now [TM], Apple are doomed for real this time.

    Another problem for Canada is that 21% of the population speaks french and the content available for them on Netflix is much, much fewer. I check every time to see which languages (or at least subtitles) are available when I watch something and it's quite rare to see french as an option, maybe one title for every 25~30 that I watch.

    My brother is thinking about dropping Netflix because frankly, there's almost nothing for him to watch, literally.
