The Monkey

'reks, I listened to the universals--albeit while hammered--and I think yes, they are more satisfying than the 800s. They have bigger balls.

My eyes started to bleed.

These phones suck. I haven't heard them.

There are bad smells.

Fitz is a fuckin' shill. Just like the rest of them.

The DACs at this meet suck.

I listened to the JH13 universals and I am sorry to say that the fanboi/girls are right. They are awesome. I am not happy about this.

Ok. Back on board. Departing at 12:30ish, which means I should be in at 2:30ish. Anyone else arriving around then?

But the bat is playing Lay Lady Lay so i'm choosing to take that as a positive omen.

I'm in the bar and already using the xpal for juice on the iPhone. I'm drinking a Newcastle brown, but I forgot I had taken a Dramamine on the plane. :facepalm:

Fucking bush league LGA. We deplaned due to "mechanical" issues (at least 5 different US AIR planes are suffering from such "issues"). Right now we are scheduled to leave at 1:30 if they can fix or swap. I am not optimisitic. Deepak, no need to wait.

Delayed at LGA. On board now. Scheduled to depart at 10:30. Should arrive ILM 12:30. Typical LaGuardia bullshit.

Leaving for LGA in a few minutes. Looking forward to seeing you jive turkeys this afternoon.

Fuckin'-A. All of the ones I see are around 500 bucks.

Where did you get the combo?

Sissy. (Just wait 'til I get there and show you what a wimp really is.)

So bossy for a first post.

^Yes, by god, yes. ^Absolutely agree. Pavement - "Summer Babe" Joy Division - "Love Will Tear Us Apart" Bob Dylan - "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" U2 - "Bad" Velvet Underground - "Sweet Jane" The Pogues - "Dirty Old Town" The Pretenders - "Brass in Pocket" Little Feat - "Roll Um Easy" The Cars - "Since You're Gone" Leonard Cohen - "Suzanne" Everclear - "Santa Monica" Fugazi - "Waiting Room" The Rolling Stones - "Emotional Rescue" Bruce Springsteen - "Born to Run" Warren Zevon - "Werewolves of London"

Before my time, Ric.

How much $$ so far?

Are you offering this advice to my friend who doesn't have a computer as source or a DAC?

'reks, I think it's arguable that a lot of Apple's behavior with respect to its music devices and iTunes is anticompetitive and raises antitrust concerns. And those are pretty well documented. But my concern would be more prospective. If Apple is considering new acquisitions/JVs/etc., then market share is a real issue. Bottom line: I don't see much upside to trumpeting market share that publicly. And I see lots of risk.

heh, Apple just took a shot at MS by claiming 73% of the DAP market to MS's 1.1%. Not exactly the approach I would take with reinvigorated antitrust regulators in DC. Arrogance like that gets folks in trouble.

^agreed re the Mac Mini. I also want a MacBook.

new itunes actually looks kind of cool.
