  1. Apple doesn't care (or they only do enough to secure the deals) it's the music companies that impose DRM. If the music is 'licensed' for home consumption then it's nonsense to suggest that the music companies will force Apple to do anything with the hardware. It is not possible for a device to know whether it is playing in a room to one person at home (allowed) or to one hundred people in a bar (not allowed). Even if the device knows what sort of playback system it is is connected to that system is irrelevant to DRM. Hence the so called experts are not experts. They are talking though their theoretical arses.

     

    I will be dusting down the white linen suit for my trip to NY, going first class on the A380 to NY. I use Bluetooth headphone nowadays too so doesn't effect me. You do get Bose with the seat entertainment system on the 380 though.

  2. You can't download via Apple Music on to the phone and then play that via other apps that are designed for broadcast e.g DJAY. So ewerk is right, they do it via software as the hardware can't tell if it's for performance - it's just a connector and that connector can be domestic so they won't restrict it. They do restrict it when the music is going to be played publicly via software. These experts obviously dont know this as hey don't use the products and are not experts.

  3. :lol: 9 months off work and looking at the Seychelles in 3 months time!? Your lass a Russian billionaire or something? Last time am taking shite off you for lording my wine collection over everyone. 

  4. Japan's warning should have set off some alarm bells, mind. 

     

    I actually now believe that May still doesn't have a plan, and is trying to navigate this mess as she goes. Which could mean that we end up literally anywhere.

     

    Without doubt. That's the beauty of empty rhetoric like 'brexit means brexit' as it means nothing as nothing is meant by it other than the carefully spun intentions of doing 'it'. Great politics from May as it conveyed the exact opposite of reality. 

  5. I actually thought it was worse than Hodgson. Say what you will about him, we breezed through qualifications. This felt like Alan Pardew's Newcastle stealing a last minute home win against Fulham

     

    Except that when we played Slovakia under Hodgson 2 months ago we didnt beat them. Didnt really see much difference either, dont think thats the point. Hodgson is probably a better coach but if i understood the thinking, we dont need a brilliant coach to get out of our qualifying groups, we need someone who can inspire / motivate and get a performance out of a team at a major tournament.

     

    As qualifying out of this group should be a formality, the playing style that gets us there isnt really important. Its going one better than the shite displays we have put on over the last decade and more at major finals. 

  6. Mario Monte. :lol:

     

    Is this the same Goldman Sachs, Coca Cola, ECB, Bilderberg - apparatchik who has a disdain for national sovereignty?

    No Mario Monti, not the hill in Rome ;)

     

    He is trying to instill fear in the exiters of course but the point remains valid to anyone versed in the rules of politics.

  7. That isn't even propaganda from the Japanese govt though PL. I take your point and agree when it comes to domestic interests but the Japanese govt doesn't care about our interests only theirs. They are trying to influence how we negotiate the exit and protecting their interests, I think in this case their statements carry significant weight.

     

    With regard to Le Pen and others in Europe who may wish to drive a similar agenda in their own country, Mario Monti made an excellent point on Radio 4 earlier today. Those politicians will look at what happened to David Cameron and other 'Brexit' politicians as a warning to what happens to those who are seen as responsible for pushing their own countries to exit the union. As his political life is now over, Le Pen and others may think twice about being the architects of their own exits. A salient political point from an experienced European politician.
