MMeM, Vol.11 Issue 46 – BAH…

Well, have you heard? Next year, once again there will be another new iPhone. Yes, the iPhone 7 will be rearing it’s thinner than ever body with a new face. Sounds great huh? Not so fast there Skippy.

One of the latest rumors about said new iPhone is that in oder to deliver on thinner Apple engineers are dropping the 3.5 mm ear phone jacks in favor of Lightning. That’s right, all of those costly Beats or other headphones you’ve spent oodles of money on over the years will now be useless until Apple and some fly by night pirating competitors sell adapters to take you from the stone age of analog cable jacks to new digital Lightning ports! YIPPEE!

What’s next Apple? Are you going to drop a new type of plug for charges that has to be retrofitted to the common utility plug-in with 3 prongs to something even more asinine than a European plug for electricity to re-charge our phones?

Oh well, sorry to complain. I know, I know, this will give our new ear plugs, sorry, BUDS, more capability and function down the line. While we wait for that day to arrive we’ll just fill the time with some catch-up reading. What to read? Oh, I don’t know how about the last TERMS & CONDITIONS that everyone checked that they had read, but I can assure you NO ONE DID. It was 1st provided via iPhone to us. I copied and pasted it to a word processor. At first, it was 55 pages long. So, I did some clean-up work on it, in your favor, and made it set to Arial, 10 font, Narrow Margins, MS Word and now it is only 38 pages long consisting of 20,664 words.

What on Earth isn’t in this thing? Does everyone realize we could well be agreeing to GOD knows what with one simple click of “AGREE”? Please, tell me this kind of crap doesn’t hold up in a court of law?

Actually, I’m sure it does and that’s precisely the point. Bah, bah, BAH….sheeep, member of the sheep here, signing off. Bah.
