"I cannot believe that this “bent iPhone 6 Plus†thing is becoming a thing. Watch this jackass’s video — inexplicably promoted by Time magazine. Should not we be amazed that his phone didn’t snap in half under this pressure? That the glass didn’t fracture? Under pressure like this, bending but not breaking seems like an extraordinary feature. If you feel pressure like this on your iPhone 6 in your pocket, you need looser pants. And if you put your phone in your back pocket and sit on it, I’m not sure what to tell you." “Now, it’s bent iPhones. Because someone didn’t realize that, when you sit on something, there’s this thing called physics that says that, when there’s enough pressure on something, it will either bend or break. And, now, lots of websites are showing videos of them bending iPhones. As if it’s worth the cost of on iPhone to get a bunch of mindless people to watch a video of an iPhone getting bent.†“Any phone made of metal is still subject to the laws of physics, but to reiterate that this isn’t exactly a problem exclusive to the iPhone 6, here’s a look at other Android and Apple phones that have bending problems,†Buster Hein reports for Cult of Mac. “Samsung’s phones are dominated by plastic, but it’s new metal-friendly Galaxy S4 devices are prone to bending in pockets too. XDA forum user Phonage reports his Galaxy S4 bent when he put it in his front jeans pocket.†“Many Sony Xperia Z1 users reported their metal frame mysteriously bent for no reason at all after being left in rear pockets. One unfortunate CrackBerry user posted pics of his Q10 that never fell but is bent. ‘I’ve no clue what happened .. I’m so pi**ed.’ Other BlackBerry owners in the forum thread reported seeing similar bendings.†Here’s the recipe for iPhone FUD: 1. Identify an issue that all other smartphones have (i.e. cellular antenna attenuation, screens that can be scratched with materials that are harder than the screen, metal casing that can be scratched with materials that are harder than the metal casing, phishing easily-guessed passwords from people who fail to utilize two-factor and other provided protections to obtain photos taken with smartphones from online storage, metal cases that bend under extreme force, etc.) or concoct an issue which has no factual basis at all (i.e. iPhone 5c, which outsold all other non-iPhones on the planet, is a “failure.â€) 2. Important: Pretend that issue is only attributable to Apple’s iPhone. Feign “concern.†3. Make goofy videos using iPhone only to illustrate this issue that all other smartphones have. Continue to feign “concern.†4. Blow said issue wildly out of proportion via the media echo chamber with much wringing of hands. 5. After Apple’s iPhone destroys you in premium smartphone sales, wonder why your iPhone FUD failed yet again. http://www.cultofmac.com/297404/get-bent-shocking-history-bent-smartphones/ http://macdailynews.com/2014/09/24/if-bending-is-all-apples-iphone-6-plus-rivals-have-left-theyre-roadkill http://daringfireball.net/linked/2014/09/23/get-bent http://www.mcelhearn.com/the-iphone-bends-so-what/

5 years and 5 months this week

Some really bad news for my Bruno. About two weeks ago he started drinking a lot of water and lost his appetite. Took him to the vet last week, they've checked his urine, found it to be very diluted. They've checked the blood on Thursday last week and found the calcium level very high. Today it was taken in for abdominal ultrasound and chest X-ray. They believe to be spleen cancer They've decided to keep him in today and give hime some fluids and do some more not so invasive tests, some new blood test stuff that is being trialled at the moment. The house seem deserted without him. I came back from RT-Peformance this evening, he wasn't there to greet me and jump like crazy when I come home

Some more stuff arrived today, more carbon goodies:

Dave, yes, plenty of them still performing fine on the US forums, some with tens of thousand of miles done.

Damascus said Washington informed Syria's United Nations envoy before the attacks began. The strikes in a country whose three-year civil war has given the brutal militant group a safe haven were part of the expanded military campaign President Barack Obama authorised nearly two weeks ago in order to disrupt and destroy the Islamic State (also known as Isis) militants. The group has slaughtered thousands of people, beheaded Westerners and captured a large swathe of territory stretching from within Syria to land across northern and western Iraq. US officials said the air strikes began at about 1.30am British time, and were conducted by America, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. The first wave of strikes finished about 90 minutes later, but the operation was expected to continue for several more hours, according to a US official. Rear Admiral John Kirby, the Pentagon's press secretary, said the decision to strike was made yesterday by the military. A White House official said Mr Obama was being updated. The strikes were carried out by manned air force and navy aircraft and the Tomahawk missiles were launched from US ships in the northern Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. The aircraft carrier USS George HW Bush is in the Gulf. Some of the air strikes were against Isis targets in its self-declared capital Raqqa. Military officials have said the US would target militants' command and control centres, re-supply facilities, training camps and other key logistical sites. Syrian activists reported several strikes on militant targets in Raqqa. One Raqqa-based activist said they lit the night sky over the city, and there was a power cut that lasted two hours. An anti-militant media collective called “Raqqa is being silently slaughtered†said among the targets were Islamic State buildings used as the group's headquarters, and Brigade 93, a Syrian army base that the militants recently seized. Other air strikes targeted the town of Tabqa and Tel Abyad in Raqqa province, it said. Their claims could not be independently verified. In Syria's first official reaction to the attacks today, state media carried a brief statement from the foreign ministry saying that “the American side informed Syria's permanent envoy to the UN that strikes will be launched against the Daesh (an Arabic name for IS) organisation in Raqqaâ€. Last week General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, told senators: “We will be prepared to strike Isil (one of the acronyms for IS) targets in Syria that degrade Isil's capabilities. “This won't look like a shock-and-awe campaign, because that's simply not how Isil is organised, but it will be a persistent and sustainable campaign. US defence secretary Chuck Hagel said that the plan “includes targeted actions against Isil safe havens in Syria, including its command and control logistics capabilities and infrastructureâ€. He said he and Gen Dempsey approved the plan. The US has also been increasing its surveillance flights over Syria, getting better intelligence on potential targets and militant movements. Military leaders have said about two-thirds of the estimated 31,000 Islamic State militants were in Syria. In a speech on 10 September, Mr Obama vowed to go after IS militants wherever they might be. And his military and defence leaders told Congress last week that air strikes within Syria were meant to disrupt the group's momentum and provide time for the US and allies to train and equip moderate Syrian rebels. The US military has been launching targeted air strikes in Iraq since August, focusing specifically on attacks to protect American interests and staff, assist Iraqi refugees and secure critical infrastructure. Last week, as part of the newly-expanded campaign, the US began going after militant targets across Iraq, including enemy fighters, outposts, equipment and weapons. So far US fighter aircraft, bombers and drones have launched about 190 air strikes within Iraq. Urged on by the White House and US defence and military officials, Congress passed legislation late last week authorising the military to arm and train moderate Syrian rebels. Mr Obama signed the bill into law on Friday, providing 500 million dollars (£307m) for the US to train about 5,000 rebels over the next year. US leaders have also been criss-crossing the globe trying to build a broad international coalition of nations, including Arab countries, to go after the IS group and help train and equip the Iraqi security forces and the Syrian rebels. The militant group, meanwhile, has threatened retribution. Its spokesman, Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, said in a 42-minute audio statement released on Sunday that the fighters were ready to battle the US-led military coalition and called for attacks at home and abroad. The head of the main Western-backed Syrian opposition group, Hadi Bahra, welcomed the commencement of the air strikes. "The international community has joined our fight against Isis in Syria," he said. "We have called for air strikes such as those with a heavy heart and deep concern, as these strikes begin in our own homeland. We insist that utmost care is taken to avoid civilian casualties." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/us-launches-air-strikes-against-isis-in-syria-9749839.html
