Re: Uh oh: It looks like the iPhone X’s sky-high price is actually scaring away Apple fans – BGR

shanparker — Mon, 16 Oct 2017 12:15:33 -0000

This is me. I was excited for the X but just not willing to pay that price. I got an 8 instead (much needed upgrade from my 6), I'll probably be jealous of friends with the X, but I have to draw the line on what is too much for an Apple product.

No worries, I live in America and I only speak English, so I can't be mad at others for only speaking one language. It was just something I noticed when I was there. Italy and Spain it was rather easy to find someone who knew English or English translations were usually provided. I had a lovely time in Nice and hope to come back one day, even though it was March the weather was lovely and I accidentally got a sunburn walking on the promenade :D

I didn't say I had a poor time and I also wouldn't event necessarily expect him to speak English but we were on our way to Spain so I would have possibly have expected to hear a Spanish translation of the problems.

I spent a few days in Nice this past spring, it was my first time in France and I quickly learned that no one in France knows English and they don't give a damn any other languages. I spent hours sitting on train tracks somewhere in France, trying to get to Barcelona. The conductor would only come out and give explanations in French. To this day I still don't know why I missed my connection.

Why does every possible leak article have to have so much drama as the headline. Can't we just gets info in a calm manner?

Re: Vote For 2016’s Best Albums (Part 2): July Through December Releases

Took me a few listens to get into "Oh My My" but it's such a solid album, I listened to it on loop during a recent trip to London, along with "Bastille - Wide World" which I was very disappointed isn't even on this list to vote for.

"Wussy". I see you have a large vocabulary there. Keep up the good work.

Maybe we should stop using the word retarded like it's not demeaning to people who are actually handicapped.

Re: Adobe Flash Player For Mac Download Blocked for Some Versions | BGR

shanparker — Wed, 21 Oct 2015 12:27:52 -0000

Their app store has nothing to do with this, it's a security issue and any platform should be blocking older versions of any plugin that has security issues. They are only blocking Flash if it's outdated, if it's too painstaking to update then you deserve to have your computer then you probably deserve what you'll get from leaving it vulnerable.

This article is basically me. I skip S years because I don't see the value. I am a little jealous about the 3D touch technology but I can hold off for the 7.

I doubt that Simon has any say in whether there is an Apple store in the mall. The Keystone location is a nightmare because it is always busy but I'm not sure Apple would see a benefit in having two stores in our city.

As a reader you should appreciate original content, not recycled from someone combing other forums for things to post.

This was on Reddit earlier this week. You're slowly getting better at your non-related tech "news". If you can just start posting it on the same day as Reddit you'll begin to look like a real journalist.
