Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Anyone install the new iOS update yet? My boss did yesterday on his iPhone 5 and it failed, forcing him to restore from backup.

Art Crawl!!!

I just updated my iphone - but the update has been on my settings for ages.

I had to delete all my most used apps in order to have enough space on my phone (4S) to update. But now I've reinstated those apps and so far the phone is working.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If you don't have enough space on your phone, you can update via iTunes without deleting anything.

Thanks Tom - I've been delaying my upgrade for the same reason.

Anyone in the market for a good mirrorless interchangeable lens camera? The excellent Sony NEX-6 is on sale, as this model is being replaced with the new a6000 (which I just bought).

A Ridiculous Deal On The Mirrorless Camera For Everyone

eta: MIrrorless means it's like a DSLR but it lacks a moveable mirror that sends light to the viewfinder. As a result mirrorless cameras are much smaller than a DSLR. The NEX-6 has an LCD screen and an electronic viewfinder.

I thought it looked neat, until I noticed how all the pictures and videos of it working are close-ups with the top of the pen out of frame. I have the sneaky suspicion that you have to manually push the plastic dowel through pen with your other hand. It's kind of a glorified glue gun.
