Cutting Edge
You guys may remember last year I purchased a iPhone 6S Plus... and I returned it and went back to my iPhone 6 Plus just because I felt the iPhone 6S Plus wasn't worth the money.
About the only real upgrade the phone had was the ability to shoot 4K, but with Apple offering no real easy way to to display the 4K you shot not to mention the small memory sizes of the iPhone the 4K feature was a waste.
Then the 3D Touch was a joke, sure it IS a cool feature, however as Jailbreaks have shown its just a long touch. Something that is done in software and that you don't need a new phone for. (Note the taptic feedback on the 6S IS better for the 3D Touch)
Sure the new iPhone is going to be announced on September 7th, however from all the leaks there does not appears to be much new with it.
Sure it will be more water resistant...
But it loses the headphone jack.
Sure it adds a better camera, but was the other camera that bad?
Sure it will be faster
But for most people who hold the new iPhone 7 are going to say it feels like the iPhone 6. And they will say that because just like the iPhone 6S it really is almost the same as the iPhone 6.
You know me I like having the newest stuff and I cant see myself keeping the same phone for 3 years.
Well I have been playing with Android a lot lately and I have been liking it. It has matured a lot over the years... so I decided to go looking at Android Phones. I almost got a Samsung Galaxy S7... and then I found the Galaxy Note 7 and fell in love.
So I preordered a Galaxy Note 7 from AT&T. They game me a Samsung Galaxy Tab E tablet for free (well I need to pay $10 a month for the data on it) as well as a 256 Gig MicroSD card. It will be here next week.
While I have a Nvidia Shield Tablet which is considered the best Android Tablet made I am REALLY enjoying this Samsung Galaxy Tab E - having Data service everywhere you go is so nice. I may sell the NVIDIA Shield , I see they are selling for over $400 now on Amazon.
I think the thing I will miss most about moving away from the iPhone is my Apple Watch, sure Android has its own watched but none of the Android watches have the ability to us it as a phone. I don't think I will get an Android watch at least not now... but I do have a new Color Pebble Watch (which you can make calls on) which I will use until there is an Android Wear watch that fits my needs.
I have a friend who works at Apple and I told him this news and he really agreed with what I was saying and then told me I was correct on my feeling on the iPhone 7, however most of the work they are doing is on the iPhone 8 and he told me I would probably want that one... hes probably going to be right.
Now if only Apple would release their updated Macbook Pros! My Macbook Pro Retina is now over 4 years old and is starting to have issues (The video glitches from time to time). Before getting Macbook Pro's I was buying a new laptop twice a year! But these Macbook Pros have been AMAZING laptops and I wouldn't hesitate buying one when they come out (which will be in October according to my friend from Apple.)
So excuse me for a bit... I am going to take a walk on the dark side... I can't wait for that new Note 7 to get here!

I've got a Surface Pro 2 I almost never use. I liked W8.1 better on it than W10 because I used it mostly in tablet mode. But battery life is just too damned short to even care. 
I use my iPad Pro for almost everything these days except reading. I use one of a few smaller tablets or e-readers.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

This video was put up shortly after I was able to take my family out to Yosemite in 2011. No AI.

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

Love this guy's channel. Looks like Walmart has thrown in the towel when it comes to conventional car batteries.
I bought a new AGM battery from Walmart about a year ago, it is already needing replacing. I thought about just buying a regular battery but from what I've read, that might not be a smart move. Might check my Forscan program and see if I can change the battery type from AGM.
