I found a video of Torn Mind singing the song of his people.

I listen to refined lyrical perfection.

A 20-year old Mozart's "A" game, written for personal performance for a personal occasion(his best friend's wedding. Unlike his "C" game in Eine Kleine or his "D" game with his K. 545.

Google Runs Attack Campaign Against Apple’s Walled Garden - channelnews

Google has launched a campaign against Apple's insistence on keeping iMessages sent from iPhones incompatible with texts sent from Android. "It's time for Apple to fix texting" reads the headline: "It’s not about the color of the bubbles. It’s the blurry videos, broken group chats, missing read...

can't say i've ever had this issue bother me ...seriously the first i have ever heard of this

It's actually a big problem. One, Apple discriminates against non iMessage texts with a different colored bubble. This has become a status symbol among kids. I mean really? Trying to turn non Apple devices into users wearing a scarlet letter on them for basic texting? It's asinine.

Apple makes it so that when there is a non Apple phone in a group message, it can screw things up. The new team I work with has 10 people. One other guy had an Android so they had to switch their group texts to What'sApp. I'm the second Android user. There was a famous story about a pro NBA team which all had iPhones except one guy, and that kept fucking up the group texts. They made hm get an iPhone. If you try to send a video or multiple high res pictures from android to apple or apple to android, they appear as super compressed and at a virtually useless resolution. Again, an Apple choice to keep these basic texting features segregated.

I wasn't talking about listening, I was talking about singing 😛

It's even worse in the enterprise management space where Apple has actively hobbled their already limited fleet management abilities. Giant PITA to push software updates, limited enforced controls and, oh everyone has to be an admin to install updates which is just amazing when you have thousands of Macs. Because no one would ever use admin rights to install something stupid or get phished....

Awesome - Apple just released a notification that only it's most recent OS will get ALL their security updates. Since they release a new OS every year that is a huge impact to companies with lots of Macs. Lots of IT staff running to make sure they're all updated. Thanks Apple!

Wow that sounds like a nightmare. Upgrades take a seriously amount of IT and user resources, can't imagine having to go through that every year. 😱 A pain for both IT and for users.
