This is why you must sign up for Apple Music.

Because things won't get truly shitty until you're paying a recurring fee to house your music on someone else's server.

And it plays fucking FLAC (Not a phone though)

I'm happy to mock Apple's latest bollocks, but then I made fun of the iPod when it came out because it was just an expensive MP3 player. I don't think I was wrong, but it sure made Apple a lot of money. Then I made fun of the iPad when that came out and I really was wrong there. I think tablets are very handy now. So even though I won't stop making fun of Apple's overpriced flapdoodle, history hasn't been on my side so far.

    The guys that founded this company must be brilliant, handsome and amazing gents.

I confirm they absolutely are!

I'm envisioning tng saying this while looking into a mirror and smiling ear to ear.

I arrived Sunday at 4am and was way too excited to set up camp, so I biked into the open playa where all the art installations were located. I found an octopus sculpture which had a couch nearby. On the couch was a box with pendants engraved with an octopi. As I was sifting through the pendants, deciding which one I wanted, a woman biked by and I waved her down. She climbed on top of the octopus, and I followed her up. We chatted for a while, and I learned she was Australian (I later learned that a lot of Austrailians go to Burning Man).

As we were chatting, the sun was starting to poke up over the mountains. Once the sun had just finished showing itself, the Austrailian and I looked at each other, and kissed. We sat in silence for a little while longer and then biked our separate ways.

your name is so close to the one-eyed green dude from Monsters Inc.

HA! I wouldn't let Mike Wazowski store my stem cells.

My kids haven't seen that movie. Think it's time.

I really think these partnerships are going to have a huge impact on how these businesses are shaped in the following years. I should map out who's partnering with who, because everyone's hooking up like it's last call at the bar and they're desperate for some action.
