the apps that I bought for the first iphone still work on the 4S i carry now despite not having been updated in a while (some of them at least)
I'm not familiar with Apple's software, would this restore the exact OS version you were using along with any apps even if they have been withdrawn from the appstore?
the OS doesn't matter..yes. it's on your machine.. you can put it on any device you own. don't delete the files on your machine.
back up the phone.. install the new OS, restore or back up the phone, plug in new phone. restore previous backup.
the apps I have are working just fine with the iOS 6 beta. (and i restored an ipad retina backup to to my dev ipad2)
same goes for macs too. just got my mom a new one for mothers day. restored from the time machine backup from her old machine. even the gazillion docs on her desktop were restored (to my dismay)
but check headphone solutions or earphone solutions dot com
they have a $60 dollar section, and a 15% coupon right now for Father's Day. code = DAD15 until 6/17.
I don't think many audiophile sites will even review pairs in that price range, so I'm afraid you're going to end up with Sony, Sennheiser, etc.. (mass market brands)
buy a couple different pairs from amazon and just see which sound best to you. return the rest (read the small print for canal buds or in ear type - returns might not be allowed because of hygiene issues).
i tried about 6 to 8 different pairs of over the ear cans... returned all but the Beyer Dynamics for the house and for my commute Westone 3s. Both well out of your price range though. Until I discovered "good" headphones and a DAC to go with.. I used Sony MDR71's and Grado SR81s (sony $40, Grado $100) music only, no mic.
While I remained earthbound, I would time-travel, listening to the grownups, who on warm nights gathered outside on the lawns and porches to talk and reminisce. At the end of the Fourth of July, after the uncles had their cigars and philosophical discussions, and the aunts, nephews, and cousins had their ice-cream cones or lemonade, and we’d exhausted all the fireworks, it was the special time, the sad time, the time of beauty. It was the time of the fire balloons.
FWIW when I got comcast (internet only if that matters)... they told me my area gets X amount of bandwidth, and they won't signup any more users, if you don't average the advertised speed. I pay for 20. early AM and late night (say before 8AM, and after 8PM) I can get 30-35 sustained... during peak hours, drops to about 15-17. last mile is not really an issue for me (and comcast is about the only high speed network in town - we have very little to no fiber where I live because of local politics)
as much as I want to hate them, they do deliver.. (and I haven't seen an outage in 3 years)
How has Comcast "killed" its caps? "Each of these pilot approaches will effectively offer unlimited usage of our services because customers will have the ability to buy as much data as they want."
Will Comcast raise prices? "We offer tiers of service starting at $9.95 a month and ranging up to higher price tiers. We're very comfortable with the pricing. We don't have any current intention to change our pricing."
Comcast announced today that it is doing away with its 250 GB data cap, and will be moving to test out new plans will charge customers based on usage, rather than cutting them off.
so when you consider it a sale, it's about the same as getting the discs with the added benefit of getting the latest episode the day after it airs. (except for really popular shows like Game of Thrones)
Apple season pass for Sherlock S2 is 19.99 (vs. 6.99 per), the DVD from amazon is 19.96, amazon (digital) season pass is 15 bucks (no freebies for Prime). PBS is also streaming Masterpiece Mystery if you haven't seen S2 yet.
"It took the combined efforts of police, fire department, Hazmat unit and EMTs to finally get a 600-pound man in need of medical attention out of his Pennsylvania home." our tax dollars pay for EMS. Fire, Police and Hazmat (WTF hazmat)... it's not like this was a 20 minute call either. they had to CUT THE HOUSE AWAY to get the kid out.
600 lbs.. I weigh 160. Imagine having me wrapped around your gut almost 4 times over.
it is.. but it's a specific offering by 7-11 (convenience store chain)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-Eleven Among 7-Eleven's offerings are private label products, including Slurpee, a partially frozen soft drink introduced in 1967,[15] and the Big Gulp introduced in 1980[15] that packaged soft drinks in large cups ranging in size from 20 to 64 US fluid ounces (0.59 to 1.9 liters).
Jobs came back right around the time that thing was killed.. as for who ok'd it.. Spindler or Amelio.. and Apple was only in it for the licensing. Bandai actually built and shipped.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Bandai_Pippin Apple never intended to release Pippin on its own. Instead, it intended to license the technology to third parties; Bandai was looking at entering the console video game market, and chose the Pippin as its platform. Much later Katz Media also entered production, planning to use the platform as a low cost PC with web ability.
you could probably CREDIT Jobs with killing it.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc. On July 9, 1997, Gil Amelio was ousted by the board of directors after overseeing a three-year record-low stock price and crippling financial losses. Jobs became the interim CEO and began restructuring the company's product line.
Berkeley Police Chief Michael Meehan ordered a sergeant to the home of a reporter around 12:45 a.m. Friday to request changes to a story that Meehan felt inaccurately portrayed him, media outlets reported this weekend.
can't. there's a contract (you have to get it directly from MS)
"The biggest catch is that, for now at least, it seems like you have to find an elusive Microsoft retail store to take advantage of the deal."
and they will fuck you with a red hot poker if you cancel.
"Oh, and if you're strapped for cash and can't make a payment? Get ready to pay Early Termination Fees. Engadget has a nice schedule of those. They start at $250 for the first 3 months, drop to $240 on month four and then drop a further $12/month after that point. So a year into your contract if you decide Xbox isn't for you, you'll pay $144 in Early Termination Fees."
"The problem here isn't seeking profit, it's holding users for ransom."
it could also be an ACCOUNTING problem.
dev builds app aple gets 30 cents on the dollar for the sale of that app. so far so good. said app is selling SOMEONE ELSES service. the originating link is in an app that is not associated with the DB dev account. how do you reconcile the pay out?
to keep things simple, let's pretend DB has one option: pro. 100/year. apple gets 30% of that 100 (just like they do from the link INSIDE DB's own app) - BUT they take that BEFORE they send DB their check every month, so it's easy. obvioulsy they can't take 30 of every hundred for the sale of the 3rd party app. if that dev is selling their app for $1.. they'd have to sell 30 copies for every DB account they "sold" to break even. Pretty sure 3rd party not happy.
i have never seen (not saying it doesn't exist) one dev selling wares from another probably because it's too fucking complicated.
the Kindle App never had direct links to buy books, instead they popped Safari and told you to buy it that way. Amazon removed those buttons to avoid giving apple a cut. Same with the Audible app.
How is a Safari link to DB subscriptions any different?
You can complain about Apple's greed all you want, they're consistently enforcing the rules.
whether or not it's greedy is debatable. If I take something to a consignment shop to sell it. that shop WILL TAKE A CUT - that's their FEE for managing the sale of MY GOODS. is that greed.. or the cost of doing business?
“This makes sense, since at night the ground becomes much cooler than the air just a few hundred meters above the surface, and the wind farms generate gentle turbulence near the ground that causes these to mix together, thus the ground doesn't get quite as cool. This same strategy is commonly used by fruit growers (who fly helicopters over the orchards rather than windmills) to combat early morning frosts.”
sounds like the inverse of blowing on hot food.. which, IMO, doesn't qualify as climate change. if you stir the air, you're going to get a change in temp.. it doesn't fall into the same category as greenhouse gasses etc... and this mostly applies at night - whereas "actual" climate change doesn't care what time of day it is.
"Usually at night the air closer to the ground becomes colder when the sun goes down and the earth cools."
"profitability will disappear if one device begins" pretty sure Kindle dominates right now. how is making your content MORE available impacting profits in a negative way?

what if the device you DO have doesn't have a contract with Tor? You'd have to wait for them to get into bed together. w/o DRM read what you want when you want on the device you want. - this is why you should care.
