Funny world

You can, but it's not particularly good. But I'm the opposite to you, I want a phone that is as many things as possible so I need less things with me. I've used various android music apps, and none are as good as using iTunes with an iPhone. IMO. (So fact.)

I may upgrade to a 64gb iPhone 5 after my contract is up.

Ah, OK, in that particular scenario I completely agree with you: if you're happy and really aren't looking to switch any time soon, 'all-in-one' definitely makes sense. My comment was more directed towards an android-apple switchover.


Yeah. Maybe.
But that is still way short of the current iPod Classic storage. And flash memory is still hideously expensive, so I fear it may be quite some years before it comes down significantly enough to offer a proper alternative.
Aside from that I fear the emphasis on cloud services and storage will make local storage very much an afterthought rather than a priority in the coming 10 years.
So to my mind stocking up makes sense.

To say it in Rafiki's words: Look harder !

There's a famous joke from Friends in there somewhere... You just have to spot it.

You hear about people falling for scams all the time, but you rarely see somebody who's about to be scammed. Well, I saw it today. It's shocking people still fall for this:


I was at the Post Office. This girl walks in and tells the clerk she was selling an item on Craigslist and got contacted by a guy wanting to pay bia Western Union but he won't give her the number (or some such thing) until he gets the item. This is a verbatim exchange:

Clerk: "Nigeria?"

Girl: "Yes."

clerk: "SCAM."



It's shocking people fall for this, especially considering Craigslsit warns users about this kind of thing, yet she can't even read the warnings. Anyway, the exchange was funny enough, but I couldn't leave without saying something:

Me: "Oh, by the way, you'll never win the UK Lottery, either."

So many Godawful drivers on the road today. But something stuck out that I had to reprot here.


I get in line behind some cars at an awkward; it's a turn into a curved street that T-bones into another -- a clusterfuck, as some might say.

I'm probably the fifth car in line. The car at the start is not moving. People are getting impatient as plenty of times where there are chances to go or no cars at all coming by, are not taken. The guy behind him is about ready to drive up into the trunk, easing closer and closer. Finally, I've had enough. I pull out and drive off the low curb and go. While I passed by the car causing the problem, I looked in to see what stupid bastard was doing this to people. Answer:

There was nobody in the car. Some stupid fucking jackass parked his SUV where the turning lane was. Meanwhile, all the cars are waiting behind it to go.

MUWAHAHAHAHA.

Ha, ha....really? That's one wacky Salvation Army officer. Did you do anything to warrant this reaction? You could perhaps have said 'good day' in return. But regardless.
