I just wanted to hijack this thread to say thanks for your deep dives into die reversing. They've really turned what always seemed like arcane runes into some sort of actual understanding on my part.
Pretty much figured that would be impossible until this point.
We all figured this would be coming, but man does it feel weird to be rooting for B&N to stay afloat when they were basically the evil empire of book stores just a handful of years ago.
The indie bookstores will probably be around forever, but I'll be super sad the day that the big book store is dead. I'm still fucked up from Borders going under.
I respect your opinion. There is some (a lot) of the skeuomorphism of the time, and even in parts of the old OSX that where terrible, but in my own personal opinion there was some good too.
My wired buds pop out if I do anything more than sit still while listening with them. Any other activity I'm bound to accidentally karate chop the cord out of my ears. Or they catch on something. It's quite a bad experience.
I didn't think BT headphones were worth anything until I tried them. They are surprisingly liberating for someone active like me.
