USA women's basketball spoilers - David Aug 1, 15:31
So someone explain to me again what this change in Amazon Cloud is? - Mel Profit Aug 1, 15:20 13
- pay $25, amazon matches the music on your computer, puts it in the cloud for you. keep the free, you are limited to only a few new uploads, it not - tRuMaN (hello?) Aug 1, 15:22 12
  - It matches stuff on the computer? So if I pay the $25, the stuff I bought from iTunes will be "copied" to the cloud? - musubi Aug 1, 15:35 4
    - so yes it will scan your computer and look at eveything you have music wise. -- nm - Remlik Aug 1, 15:38

      - wait...so if I buy something from Amazon it doesn't get uploaded to my Drive and/or Cloud? -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 1, 15:40 4
        
        I believe that's correct unless you pay the $25/yr to get the Cloud player. -- nm - spamlet Aug 1, 15:43

You know, if I drove someone else's car over a curb, ruining their tire, I'd offer to pay for the new tire. Apparently I am so unusual in my view - Amanda Aug 1, 14:37 19
- do you need us to persuade them to open their wallet? -- nm - the human tater tot Aug 1, 14:47
- about a year ago the children of the friends of her family visited my neighbour. they borrowed her car, drove it 300 miles south, broke it, left it - mafic Aug 1, 14:41 12
  - In my case, it's not like, burned out brake light or a wear and tear issue. It's a popped tire. I mean, they knew it happened - Amanda Aug 1, 14:49 11
    - in my friend's case, they basically rode the clutch to death, then left the car a 5 hour drive away, parked in a campground. -- nm - mafic Aug 1, 15:05
    - well, the truth is that you shouldn't have let them borrow the car with the tire being so close to popping. Of course it's your responsibility. - sycor Aug 1, 14:50 2
      - Ha. Ha ha. One wonders if this is what he's thinking. -- nm - Amanda Aug 1, 14:51 1
        
        In fact, you probably planned the whole thing. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 1, 14:53
    - fix it and send them a copy of the bill with a passive/aggressive note attached -- nm - the human tater tot Aug 1, 14:50 6
      - I'm so torn because its my *friend.* I don't want to destroy the friendship over this. But really is it already? - Amanda Aug 1, 14:53 5
        
        *ding* -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 1, 14:54 4
        
        Actually, I remove myself from this part of it. I am like the Jerry Seinfeld of friendships. - The Dark Spawn Aug 1, 14:56 3
        
        I'm pretty like this too. I can't afford to lose a close friend. But I can't afford to loan my cars to them anymore either. -- nm - Amanda Aug 1, 14:59 2
        
        You could always send it and say, "... so you owe me my next few drinks/dinners when we go out." - The Dark Spawn Aug 1, 15:02 1
        
        or, you know, a envelope full of money -- nm - CQ Aug 1, 15:06
- Wow. I would agree. - spamlet Aug 1, 14:40 4
  - They changed the tire. So at least I got it back driveable. But yeah, I really expected it'd be fixed. - Amanda Aug 1, 14:50 3
    - So they left the donut on it? - spamlet Aug 1, 15:00
    - Or! Or!! "do you want a ride to the car fixer so you don't have to wait around and then stench of tires all night long." - Amanda Aug 1, 14:57 1
      - They could have had your soul as well! -- nm - spamlet Aug 1, 15:01

Hobbit III: The Preciousing will supposably draw upon 125 pages of extra material not published in the original book -- (link) - the human tater tot Aug 1, 14:12
My only thought on the tanking thing is what kind of system do you have where being the best isn't the goal for seeding? - Will Hunting Aug 1, 14:11 2
- also the tanking wasn't comparable to the "let's send in the rookies" kind of tanking NFL teams do - it was more like "let's punt on 1st down". -- nm - Reagen Aug 1, 14:23
- most of this happened because there was an upset. - Reagen Aug 1, 14:13
UPDATE: I've moved on to working on UK stuff, so naturally Britpop is now coming out of the iPhone. - spamlet Aug 1, 14:11 3

Remember the short-lived Fox News "mole" blogger? I want to hear from an NBC mole. - Dr.Vermin Aug 1, 14:05 11
- Since the opening day commentators wouldn't shut up, the only real problem I've had with coverage is Pat O'Brien. - David Aug 1, 14:20 6
  - The interviews with the swimmers Andrea Kreimer does are needlesslly adversarial. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 14:27 3
    - "So...why did you suck tonight?" -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 1, 15:02
    - Okay, I agree with this as well. I was particularly annoyed that she interviewed 3/4 of the swimming relay team last night but not the fourth guy. - David Aug 1, 14:33 1
      - How about the question to the other 3 guys of "how does it feel to be part of Michael Phelps great record." - pmb Aug 1, 14:37
  - I've got two words for you. "Sea" "Crest". - pmb Aug 1, 14:26 1
    - That's possible but we fast forward the moment he comes on. I've never given him the time of day. -- nm - David Aug 1, 14:32
