        Do people think Apple's goods stupendously overpriced and are they really that good? Topic throw to the audience, lets see if the fanbois start biting.

          Yes

          Some yes, some no. For instance, my favourite MP3 player of all time is the Nano (generation 2) - that was the pinnacle, for me, of music player tech. Simple to use, solid, reliable. Couldn't ask for more. The downside of the Nano was that you have to use iTunes to get music onto it, and that's one of the clunkiest, most unintuitive pieces of software ever designed.

                    Same procedure as any other day, like all kinds of threads about who is going to drink what kind of alcohol?

                    And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke:
                    "Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"

                    And I smiled and was happy
                    And it came worse.

                        I want to talk about my testicles. Or the right one anyway. Around 3 years ago I got an incredibly sore testicle, and giving it a reassuring fondle noticed it was a little swollen too. So off I went to see the doctor. He had a little feel and said he thought it was just an infection, but there was a condition where they get twisted and if not quickly diagnosed and treated the testicle in question can die. Because of this he was sending me off to the hospital because "I don't want you to punch me the next time you see me because it has dropped off". So off I went with a little letter he had written for me. Around 4 hours later whilst I was still sitting in a little room waiting to be seen I remembered that I have BUPA cover through work, although I didn't know how to use it. A short time later I was allocated a bed in A&E and a procession of doctors came along for a feel and to ask questions. A female Eastern European junior doctor attempted to take some blood but wasn't particularly good at it and blood spurted all over my clothes. Then I was sent for an ultrasound, performed by a middle aged, and very severe, Asian lady. She handed me a single sheet of paper towel and said "to cover your... penis". She had a way of saying penis that suggested she was not keen on seeing them lying around. She then proceeded to pound the ultrasound thing into my aching testicle, which was not a pleasant experience at all, before I was sent back to A&E. Not too long later I was admitted onto a ward to await a decision, which came in the form that evening of a diagnosis of epididymitis[^], I was given a prescription for antibiotics and sent home. However as the hospital only had 7 of the pills in stock and I needed 20, I was also given a letter to take to my doctor asking him to prescribe the additional 15. Yes, 7 + 15 was supposed to equal 20. Gives you loads of confidence that patients will be given the correct dosage. So to curtail this portion of the story, I went home with my drugs and the problem soon cleared up. Jump forward to Tuesday of this week. I again noticed a growing soreness in my right testicle, and on Wednesday morning I took it off to the doctors again. Before I set off I carefully considered my underwear choice, knowing full well that whatever I wore could spend a good portion of the day on display or around my ankles. I went for a p

                                  I want to talk about my testicles. Or the right one anyway. Around 3 years ago I got an incredibly sore testicle, and giving it a reassuring fondle noticed it was a little swollen too. So off I went to see the doctor. He had a little feel and said he thought it was just an infection, but there was a condition where they get twisted and if not quickly diagnosed and treated the testicle in question can die. Because of this he was sending me off to the hospital because "I don't want you to punch me the next time you see me because it has dropped off". So off I went with a little letter he had written for me. Around 4 hours later whilst I was still sitting in a little room waiting to be seen I remembered that I have BUPA cover through work, although I didn't know how to use it. A short time later I was allocated a bed in A&E and a procession of doctors came along for a feel and to ask questions. A female Eastern European junior doctor attempted to take some blood but wasn't particularly good at it and blood spurted all over my clothes. Then I was sent for an ultrasound, performed by a middle aged, and very severe, Asian lady. She handed me a single sheet of paper towel and said "to cover your... penis". She had a way of saying penis that suggested she was not keen on seeing them lying around. She then proceeded to pound the ultrasound thing into my aching testicle, which was not a pleasant experience at all, before I was sent back to A&E. Not too long later I was admitted onto a ward to await a decision, which came in the form that evening of a diagnosis of epididymitis[^], I was given a prescription for antibiotics and sent home. However as the hospital only had 7 of the pills in stock and I needed 20, I was also given a letter to take to my doctor asking him to prescribe the additional 15. Yes, 7 + 15 was supposed to equal 20. Gives you loads of confidence that patients will be given the correct dosage. So to curtail this portion of the story, I went home with my drugs and the problem soon cleared up. Jump forward to Tuesday of this week. I again noticed a growing soreness in my right testicle, and on Wednesday morning I took it off to the doctors again. Before I set off I carefully considered my underwear choice, knowing full well that whatever I wore could spend a good portion of the day on display or around my ankles. I went for a p

                                    Yesterday, every other thread seemed to be about the Wiki blackout, or SOPA. What's the topic today; how did the blackout yesterday affect you?
