I had a battery that was bulging just a tiny bit, barely enough to notice, took it in and got a new one (even though the battery itself was still at 95% health and worked fine). It is tough to say if giving them the leeway to make these kinds of calls is good or bad, depends on which way they swing I guess.

Troubling for sure. But, in my experience, they were fairly lenient in the past. If you told them the battery life sucked, and they check it out in their utility and find it is bad, then they'll go ahead and replace. Plus, their quoted standby time is like 200 hours, I don't think my phone ever lasted more than about…

Yeah, those cables do tend to break. It's good they replace them basically no questions asked, although still a pain to have to take them to the store, especially around the holidays.

What I want to know, is does AppleCare+ still cover battery replacement, or does that fall under the $50 replacement?

That is so cool!

Not exactly a nail house, but 1999 Broadway in Denver is built around Holy Ghost church. The developer designed a large scoop in the side of the building to accommodate the existing church.

It's hollow inside, thus not a prism.

I agree with that. They have trouble with the logistics of streaming moreso than Netflix.

Oh, I am annoyed at times with their handling of that on the PS3 app. If your buffer runs out, it pops up a dialog and asks if you want to try to continue or switch to standard definition. I believe if you switch it does go down to stereo (and crappy video), and on the PS3 it won't readjust to HD even if you've got…

All the HD rentals I've watched on Amazon streaming (via PS3) have come with 5.1. Do you mean in a browser specifically?

Thank you. And 100% agree.

Six ounces of booze is not enough to get you through the day.

They just need to update the google search app so I can voice search for places. I suppose you can use dictation in the maps app, but I like google's dictation better than the built-in.

That's a valid point for sure, but regarding this particular app, I'm sure the developers who worked on it were compensated well for their efforts.

I'm talking about iOS apps.

Oh, because Harmon, tomtom, navigon and the tens of other commercial products that have been available for years aren't reliable at all.

I agree that they drag their heels, but how do you figure LTE and USB3 have already been surpassed?

And not just from the US, either.

I'll throw in my support for the intermittent fasting technique. I ate liberally on Thanksgiving weekend (didn't keep track), and probably did add about 2000 extra calories for me personally (my daily goal is 1750 right now, which equates to about 2-3lbs of weight loss per week). The following week, I fasted on monday…

Expresso! My favorite!
