You forgot "exciting updates to store openings, now even in Timbuktu!"

I loved the one where they announced the first store in China, so now they can actually pretend that Chinese people are interested in paying the Apple tax instead of just walking off the factory floor with product. Or outright stealing their build specs and opening up their own knock-off Apple factory.

Former T-Mobile user chiming in. Well, sort of former. I switched to Ting because it happened to be cheaper for most of my usage, but it seems it can get super expensive if I decide to stream music for hours with it. The one day I was without my primary Internet connection, I decided to stream from Pandora over my tether, while using my system as usual, and the result was about 1TB of traffic in 8 hours. Of course, it could have been all the streaming video ads I saw in the Vivaldi browser I was trying out without the benefit of an ad blocker.

I kept getting edited versions of songs when I wanted the explicit version

I wish Pandora could take the hint, and play me music I could feel safe blasting over my speakers with my parents listening in the room at the same time. I get tired of hearing Thom Yorke singing about how "it's hosed up, hosed up", yet I like the tune, but not the lyrics, so I sit at the impasse of never hitting either the thumbs up or the thumbs down. If I hit the thumbs down, they might take the hint that I dislike it for all the other tagged properties it has, and not just because it has unnecessary profanity.

(Reminds me of the time I was in a department store at the mall, some Macy's or something, and they were playing Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl, the explicit version. I could clearly hear every "This poo poo is bananas".)

i thought you had to be over 18 to post on sA?

I don't know, it just feels like listening to music with pointless swearing is like watching movies with pointless violence and nudity that add absolutely nothing to the story. I can't help it if I'm developmentally stunted.

CurrentC

It's especially silly, if you consider that CurrentC doesn't use NFC, just so it can work with phones that either have no NFC support, or lock it down to vendor only apps.
