At this point Smythe is like one of those moderators Lowtax imposed to destroy LF from the inside when it got too popular.

Tolerating outright death threats from the likes of Amethyst, joking with AIDS, or tolerating and using words like "retard" and "human being" not only makes him a bad moderator, but a bad person.

Actually, many would argue that posters like yourself, who see the dreaded human being word, cringe IRL and desperately plead to make the bad words go away are the cancer killing this forum. Sadly YOSPOS has been allowed to fester in it's own fail AIDS for so long that people think this is normal for the forums or something when its not.

I tried it and Apple Music is the same as iTunes with a new coat of paint, which was always a piece of poo poo except for a brief time when it was better than Windows Media Player so people used it a lot. Nowadays people just hook their phone to a stereo to run Pandora or Spotify. Except me, I'm the guy playing music in VLC because I'm too lazy to use something else.

artists could just decide what songs belong together, bundle them, and sell them to people, instead of letting computers throw things together or w/e and tech companies skimming money off musicians

Spotify's equivalent to iTunes's premium playlists things are pretty good but then again the only ones that get updated regularly are by Tiesto and Armin Van Buren so I hope you like trance music

Things are looking different inside IBM, too. Once a company of blue suits, Wintel personal computers and BlackBerrys, Big Blue is on track to become the world’s largest corporate user of MacBooks. On Wednesday, the company began to apply lessons it has learned, introducing a service intended to help other companies adopt Macs.

The fact that, to this day, people think Apple when they think of Adobe products boggles the mind since stuff like Premier and Aftereffects runs like a tire fire covered in dogshit even when you have a beefy graphics workstation, let alone some Mac that's going to be outperformed by a Chromebook in about a year

The range on most wireless headphones is horrible but I guess that's not a problem for a phone where it's probably never going to be further than like 10 feet. Still aren't the transmitters for wireless headphones a little more power-consuming than regular headphones. Especially if they use Bluetooth. Won't that make the battery life shittier.

I replaced my used android phone with a 6S and it's nice and all but the normal search app is freaking Fail and Siri is bad too. But there's an iOS version of the google app android uses that does all the same stuff, but not as badly and doesn't have to open (as many) other apps as the Apple one. Anyway thats my Apple AIDS Story. Oh yeah and I'd be way more impressed with Touch ID if it wasn't used as a bandaid for Apple asking me to enter some kind of password every 10 seconds

If you're going to use it as an actual desktop replacement, then get a PC that's the same price and twice the power but doesn't look as sexy I guess?

If you're going to replace a desktop you only ever browse the web with, then you could just buy a Chromebook for $199 and call it a day.

Thanks.

I like my iPhone 6 and I don't think it's too big, but I can reach all corners of the screen with my thumb. If it was any bigger I'd hate it.


iTunes was good when it was better than Windows Media Player but then they started doing stuff like patching it every day and when it patched, it'd overwrite my settings which meant when I plugged my iPod in to charge, it would format the iPod and not sync anything to it even though I turned that setting off. Which dipshit at Apple though it was a good idea to even have that as an option back when the biggest non-huge-iPod was like 16GB and most people had huge, huge libraries that it couldn't possibly fit
