    The problem was more basic than that. Microsoft offered money for people to develop apps so low quality developers threw out low quality apps to get the money cheap.

    I have always suspected that's how they wrote Windows 8 in the first place.

      Ok, I believe you, but I get the impression that he is more of a celebrity here in Holland than in the rest of the world. I once read a book of him 'trawler' which was very enjoyable :)

            Sorry about that, don't want to risk war with both the Brits and the French. But it seems that you are in British territory now, so maybe you can do some spying and sabotage on my behalf :-\

              What's most important is: does it come with an app to pre-order the s10? mine's a s5; it's the average.

                      That model is a beauty: [^].

                      «... thank the gods that they have made you superior to those events which they have not placed within your own control, rendered you accountable for that only which is within you own control For what, then, have they made you responsible? For that which is alone in your own power—a right use of things as they appear.» Discourses of Epictetus Book I:12

                          Nope. Pre-order means you get it pre-release date (the 16th), mine comes in on the 9th.

                          So it's beta testing? ;) On the serious side, the headphones should also be really good. I have a lot of faith on AKG.

                                I don't have any - it was never important enough to me to take a photo (It would have cost half the value of the car to have the roll of film developed and printed!) It was a Simca (a French make that vanished - thankfully - in the seventies) but as to model? Not sure. Probably a "Elephanting 'orrible". It was a damn good car to drive in London: everyone got out of it's way as it was obvious it didn't care if it hit something, and nobody boxed you in. Or at least not twice. I'm reasonably sure it was insured.

                                    I'm feeling positively ancient with my iPhone 6 (the smaller one that fits my 5 cases), but it still does everything I need. And I'm writing this on a Dell laptop that I bought over a decade ago, running Windows 7. Honestly, I think I should consider therapy to see if they can cure my loss of desire to try bright and shiny things. Maybe there's a pill I could take. Do they make a Tryagra?

                                          Btw. I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 7577 gaming notebook which (for a gaming notebook) was relatively inexpensive, and am very pleased with it so far. The older models seem to have had low quality screens, but this one has a newer IPS type Full HD screen.
