His frustrations with Apple echo mine, I'll be skipping the '4' and not sure I'll bother with the 3GS any more. Yay for him not acting like a rabid fanboy and praising the device despite its flaws. Perhaps my problem is that I actually use my cell phone for, you know, phone calls.
The streaming often downloads much faster than real time so it would seem to me it has a pretty similar network impact. Example, streaming an hour long show I often have the entire show "downloaded" after 20 min or so.
It's Apple's rule, it's through iTunes. I sincerely AT&T has anything to do with that since Apple has dictated the terms of the relationship since day 1. Also, I can stream the same podcast through the web and AT&T doesn't appear to care.
It's like I find a new reason to get more upset with Apple everyday...
Can anyone reasonably explain the 20MB download limit via iTunes? What sense does this make? 95% of the podcasts that I listen to are larger than this and I can stream them from any number of sites (which has its own set of negatives) but Apple refuses to let me download them direct from Apple over 3G. I simply don't understand why they care how I use the data like this. Part of me just wants to connect the phone to a streaming app and stream 24/7 for a while in protest.
My box of parts arrived yesterday, everything looks good. The balance of the parts should arrive Monday and I expect to get busy building in the very near future. Right now I'm trying to avoid the compulsion to upgrade the output trafos with the eprint units that Doug hinted at.
Stop asking why V, just roll with it
Me: mowed, took delivery of the hackintosh, now resting and laughing at how Apple is really missing the boat by simply not licensing Dell to build these things for them.
They departed over a week ago so they should be in country by now. But I haven't heard a peep out of him or seen him online so I suspect that he's stuck dealing will all of the fun* of moving 10,000 miles to a new continent.
*by fun I mean no fun.
I try to make sure that the main stereo/HT rig stays very straightforward for that exact reason. The Harmony remote lived up to its name.
I have both but the moles would be really hard to shoot. I have, accidentally, clipped a few with the tractor though. Apparently they do not understand the concept of running away from the very loud noise with the whirring blades.
My war is with a woodchuck. I'm pretty sure he's living in my neighbors burn pile so his habitat is an endangered species and I hope he's got a good smoke detector.
