Re: Whatever happened to Small Dog? - 2 days ago

Hi - True and not true. We do sell Macs that we refurbish here at OWC, but we also sell Apple factory refurbished items, as well as Apple factory sealed (brand new) items. All depends on what is available at the time of purchase. QuoteN-OS X-tasy! QuoteGareth Quotesekker Bummed they lost the ability to sell Apple refurbs. I wonder why OWC can but a small but excellent shop like Smal

Re: what happened to OWC NewerTech NuGuard KX protective case for iPhone? - 24 days ago

Thanks for the comments on the KX cases. Really miss having one on my phone for sure. I won't give exact recommendations but can say that Larry is 100% right on, the internals on the newer phones are more robust and seem to be able to take an impact. It's most important to protect the glass of course, so a good glass screen protector is recommended, and then any case that offers full protectio

RIP, as a Cubs fan I have respect for him. First Cubs game I saw in 1977, we had tickets 3 or 4 rows behind the Dodgers dugout and I was right on the wall heckling Steve Garvey at 1st base mercilessly. Tommy was RIGHT there in the dugout within probably 12-15 feet laughing about it Amazing career, and he will be missed.

Re: USPS discovers 'Black Hole' in California - 2 months ago

It's everywhere. USPS Priority Mail sent from Woodstock, IL Monday 12/6 to Miami arrived yesterday 12/16. Another package sent 12/6 to Austin is still not delivered. It's been sitting in Austin since Monday this week. Priority? Not so much it seems. And of course they don't guarantee delivery. Just says on the label 2-3 day service. USPS SUCKS.

Re: Oh Cook! - 2 months ago

Once you watch that one, you'll want to see the 2nd one. The 3rd was a bit more dry but still a story that needed telling. He was also on the show Who Do You Think You Are (the UK version, of course) in one of the first seasons / episodes. It was also worth seeing. He's bombastic for sure. He also is a superb writer.

Re: Oh Cook! - 2 months ago

James is excellent in all of his shows, and supposedly a new series of Man Labs are coming! I have seen every episode of Top Gear / The Grand Tour and all of the trio's individual works. James is the most diverse, Clarskson is good when he wants to be. If you've not seen Who Wants To Be A Millionaire with him hosting the last few series, he's great at that. And I like Richard Hammond on his o

3rd motion for Aeron. One at work, 21 years old now - thrown a couple of rubber wheel coverings off over the years, and a back support - but simple cheap fixes (and skateboard wheel upgrade) money well spent. Enough I have one at home too. Your back is not cheap. Spend a little extra on it.

It's a bit more than being annoyed. The original article is really good. "This means that Apple knows when you’re at home. When you’re at work. What apps you open there, and how often. They know when you open Premiere over at a friend’s house on their Wi-Fi, and they know when you open Tor Browser in a hotel on a trip to another city." and "This data amounts to a
