Re: Apple iPhone 7 Event today 10am PT 6pm GMT links to blogs
Up to two hours extra battery life? That's inexcusably paltry. Getting rid of the jack is a total no for me too. I'll pass.

RE: British Public Wrong About Nearly Everything
Thing is, whichever side of any political debate you're on, people inflate the concerns. This is not news at all. People have inaccurate ideas about what really goes on in politics?? Well, hold the presses. Sick of the entire debate, which has been every bit as disappointing on both sides as I feared.

Tempting though all those planes are, with even the Russians criticising the DPRK heavily and and the ridiculous threats ramping up all the time, I'd personally steer clear. It's probably true that the days of these tours are likely to be heavily numbered. Belarus looks like a good plan though.
