Still waiting. Any idea when this will be available? WWDC has come and gone.

Re: How to Watch Amazon Prime Video in Canada

bringer666 — Thu, 01 Dec 2016 15:46:00 -0000

Just tried in on my PC logging into amazon.com using my amazon.ca account and I was able to watch a video. I tried another video and it said it was not available in my country. It would be nice if we could only see what we can play or at least an indicator of which country it will play in. I'd also like to find a way to play the videos on my Apple TV.

Yep, that's what happened.

Disagree, Scott. My wife was in that accident and the Rav 4 they were in was in pretty good shape even though it was a t-bone straight on with their front end and the headlights weren't even damaged. My wife had a dislocated elbow and I think that was the only injury.

Re: Hackers Stealing Credit Cards and PayPal Accounts via Starbucks App

My account is not set to autofill so that probably saved me (actually Starbucks) some cash.

My starbucks account was hacked last week. Luckily they only took all the money from my current cards (about $65). Nothing was taken from my Visa or bank accounts. I got the email from Starbucks saying that my password was changed which is what alerted me to the problem. Starbucks refunded all my money and gave me new cards.

Re: Sorry Older Apple TV Owners, The YouTube App Is No More

Will I lose the YouTube app off my iPad 2? That would be devastating for me.

Re: Real Racing 3 Reimburses Gamers Over ‘Stuck at 97%’ Completion Bug

bringer666 — Sat, 11 May 2013 16:31:49 -0000

I'm not sure how this works but I had the 97% bug awhile ago. They fixed it with an update so it showed 100% for only 39 races but I never received the R$ or Gold for the completion. Then in a more recent update they added the Corvette as a new car and added a race to the series so it was then 39 out of 40 completed. I bought the car and after finishing the race in first place, I got the 100% completion bonus. I don't know what they are offering now. I don't see anything yet.

Re: Real Racing 3 – Freemium Can Be Awesome [Review]

I have been playing the game for a few days now and I am really enjoying it. It's nice having real tracks to race on (RR2 only had no-name tracks). The waiting is a little annoying but as you said, once you have a few cars, you can race some of the other cars while you wait for your repairs and upgrades to finish. I don't plan on spending any money on the game and I hope to finish all the levels in time.

Re: iOS 6 Passbook Feature Is Attracting Massive Downloads For Developers

That is a great feature. Unfortunately it doesn't work well for my Starbucks location.

bringer666 — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 15:17:10 -0000

Thanks Gary. That's true. I'm don't really like having auto-reloads in things like this. I like to have to manually reload it so I have a better idea of how much I'm spending at Starbucks. And it's a considerable amount. :-)

Re: iOS 6 Passbook Feature Is Attracting Massive Downloads For Developers

bringer666 — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 15:14:49 -0000

Exactly, so what features does the passbook have that I can't get by just using the Starbucks app? It would make sense if I had a number of cards working in passbook but for just 1 card, it's not worth using in my opinion.

Re: iOS 6 Passbook Feature Is Attracting Massive Downloads For Developers

bringer666 — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:32:56 -0000

I have not found the app useful in the least. Of the standard cards I use on a regular basis, Save-On, Starbucks, Costco, Airmiles - the only one that can be put into the passbook is Starbucks and I don't find it any more handy than the regular Starbucks app. I've pinned my local Starbucks but the location must be wrong because it only comes up when I'm shopping in the strip mall across the street, not when I'm actually in or near the Starbucks. And passbook doesn't have the extra features like getting an instant update of my remaining credit or reloading my card. Right now I think I'll stick to the Starbucks app.

I'll stick with the US store as the prices will undoubtedly be cheaper.

Re: 2014 Porsche Cayman Turbo to get 350-hp from 4-cylinder engine

bringer666 — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 14:19:02 -0000

So the 350hp engine will do 0-62 in 4.9 secs while the 325hp does 0-60 in 4.4 secs. Is that correct??

Re: Apple TV 5.0.2 Firmware Update Released

bringer666 — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 16:33:12 -0000

Turns out the issue wasn't with the iOS update although an OS 5 update may have brought the issue to the forefront. Some Google searching found the solution by changing a setting on my router.

Re: Porsche vs. Porsche: A road test

bringer666 — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 11:27:04 -0000

What a stupid comparison. If you're going to compare at least do the comparison for a reason. A comparison of the Boxster S vs a base Carerra would had made much more sense. You can decide whether there is still a difference between Porsche's "entry level sports car" and their flagship as the Boxster gets better and better every generation. It would have been a much closer comparison as well making it worth a read.
