  1. Maybe it's AR and a hard protective coating.
  2. I have considered this watch over and over. If I were to consider it, I'd have to have an ETA. I don't know why, but some watches just cry out for a swiss motor. However, comparisons to the IWC "My bezel fell off" Ingenieur aside, the one thing that would push me over the edge would be if this were available with hardcore AR sapphire. Basically, imagine this to the same build quality as the Breitling SFSO Tinhaddock and I'd be there. Great review, Teejay. I hope others take your cue and review some of their collection too.
  3. Everyone and his dog now has a video camera in their phone, so how about a video of you hooning up and down your manor? That is a lot of car in such a compact package. It reminds me of the MG 6R4 Metro.
  4. Needless to say, that doesn't make it legal.
  5. Their allway's gettening it rong. ps. Plural of IWC is IWCs, not IWC's; Plural of PAM is PAMs, not PAM's. The 70s was a decade; 70's means something belonging to 70.
  6. I'd donate, but I'm unemployed and broke right now. I'll just contribute with posts and photos until I can get some cash together.
  7. Anyone that has ever lost a rep to customs will be able to answer that. Firstly, it's smuggling, even strictly on import duty before we even get to counterfeiting. Are you specifically asking about Holland?
  8. Swiss chronos cost. I personally can't justify the current prices, so I get Asian chronos. Damned good for the money.
  9. I have a RAZR v3i and like it very much. It's got iTunes, which I never use, and a fancy camera I ... um, never use. Oh, I may start using the voice record feature soon.
  10. What's that TV show with the island and the plane crash? Is it LOOST? Please, everyone, spelling helps the search engine. Anyone searching for a "loose bezel" finds posts about missing parts. lose |luːz| verb ( past and past part. lost |lɒst|) [ trans. ] 1 be deprived of or cease to have or retain (something) : I've lost my appetite | Linda was very upset about losing her job | the company may find itself losing customers to cheaper rivals. loose |luːs| adjective 1 not firmly or tightly fixed in place : a loose tooth | the truck's trailer came loose. This has been a public rant. Ignore it as you wish. Next week: it's vs its.
  11. Look up laws on smuggling counterfeit.
  12. Set a price you're willing to pay and walk away if they don't like it. They'll chase you down. If you have time, read this first: Confessions of a car salesman
  13. Good luck, but count me out of rectum beer. I prefer it from pubs.
  14. Excellent tale.
  15. ... and this is because the courts ordered Microsoft to stop forcing the PC makers to install Windows. No, I'm not joking. "An aspect of Microsoft's pricing behavior that, while not tending to prove monopoly power, is consistent with it is the fact that the firm charges different OEMs different prices for Windows, depending on the degree to which the individual OEMs comply with Microsoft's wishes." - Civil Action No. 98-1232 (TPJ) - UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, vs. MICROSOFT CORPORATION, Defendant.
  16. Yeah, fair point, but ... not one that changes the fact that MS is a Monopoly that has been found guilty of abusing said monopoly by several courts across the world. I think it's safe to say yes, they are a monopoly. I don't know why you can't see it, but I'll assume you could be convinced given enough evidence.
  17. The US Government, in 1998, declared Microsoft a Monopoly. Fact, not opinion.
  18. 6498 with the Soprod power reserve module.
  19. Ironic? Then you've missed the whole point of Monopoly legislation. Apple are not a Monopoly, so they don't have to play by the same rules Microsoft does. It's a huge legal distinction caused by their abuse of their monopoly position. Apple has to compete on their strengths, whereas, without these laws, Microsoft can compete purely on their monopoly position, forcing PC manufacturers to pre-install Windows, for instance. Exchange support over IMAP. Until someone reverse-engineers the closed-source proprietary Exchange protocols, much like the Samba project, you're never going to get 100% exchange support without paying Microsoft, and Microsoft won't sell to someone that takes sales away from Windows Mobile devices without a court order.
  20. I found it rather easy. I used a spike to slide the spring on one side, while pulling the bracelet, then do the same the other side and the bracelet should just slide out.
  21. I'll tell you as soon as you tell me what the best watch on the market is. Seriously, what sort of Macro, what camera, what budget, etc.? What are you wanting to do with the lens? If it's just for watches, you simply don't need a macro lens.
  22. I only have 2 26mm straps in rotation, both from Elazarus: No, I don't remember what they are called, but they're not his cheapest ones.
  23. Neither RIM (Blackberry) nor Microsoft (Exchange) will allow push to work on third-party phones. Microsoft in particular use this feature-lock to sell Windows Mobile to handset developers. Propriety lock-in to Windows and MS Office is what Microsoft do. Don't expect a change any time this lifetime. So, if by "proper push" you mean "push written by either RIM or MS" then no, you will never see your definition of "proper push" on an iPhone, by design. If, however, you know how to get your mail forwarded to Yahoo (trivial) then you can have Push all day long today.
  24. Where's the profile shot of the crystal?
  25. Sure, make me an offer. What's it worth?
