- Let's hope I've been able to finally find a decent pair of in-ear headphones. I picked up some Klipsch Reference model. The Xiaomi pistons are decent, but the sound leakage and comfort level are the issue...

- Not a fan of what in reading in the news recently about two women who went jogging in the woods - one in Queens and the other a NYC woman in Massachusetts - got sexually assaulted and killed.
Meanwhile in the world of make believe, Trump is stating if he doesn't win the election, Hilary cheated to beat him and he'll throw the book at her.
I mean, when you've got $$$ your priorities are clearly much different...

- So have I. The Z3's camera is actually decent, as you already know. But it requires you to know what you're doing, which you already know also.
Outside of that, I really enjoyed my Z3. The Maxx and Z3 on 4.4.4 were some of the best tunes phones battery life wise I've ever seen. Sometimes I think about getting another Sony, especially when I see the Z5C, but I laugh really hard and chase away that thought.

I'm hoping Nokia has something soon but no idea when/if that will happen. So I wait.- Share

- I like the Z3 for the most part I'm just ready for something new but I want it to be worth the upgrade. Currently there's nothing that thrills me. I thought about a Z5 for a bit but then gave up on that.
I'm hoping Nokia has something soon but no idea when/if that will happen. So I wait.
Personally, I'd have picked something like a Nextbit Robin just to be different, but the battery concerns wise + that processor made me skip it.

- It's one of the big failings of the US. Proprietary devices and monopolies in certain areas forcing customers to use their stuff. It's a big issue in the US and Canada and has been for some years.
Apparently Verizon, the biggest issue normally, is changing from what I read, when though I have no idea.
Speaking of monopolly, government owned BH Telecom used to be the 'best' few years ago, with superior coverage, only to be shown later that they disrupted rivals' signal. And f course no one was charged or anything. That's how it goes here.- Share

I remember when I was living in Australia there was a series of sexual assaults in Brisbane (I think) on women joggers. I think they ended up catching that guy (it's always a guy isn't it?). I know people have a certain 'idealised' version of what Australia is like. I usually take my time to remove that view when I can.
We get the US election news here as well. I'd laugh if it wasn't for Trump being serious...
It's sadly almost always a guy who is committing these type of crimes. I guess some people forget male on male violence is really high also, but the sexual assault stuff will always grab headlines.

- It took me some time to understand why NY residents hate Verizon and prefer ATT. It's a bit silly to me. It's not perfect here, of course some carriers have better coverage over others in certain areas, but it's not a big deal really.
Speaking of monopolly, government owned BH Telecom used to be the 'best' few years ago, with superior coverage, only to be shown later that they disrupted rivals' signal. And f course no one was charged or anything. That's how it goes here.
I was raised in a monopoly C&W - and the duopoly that's in Jamaica now isn't that much better. Based on my needs, I'll stay with T-Mobile...but if Fi ever ran on all 4 US carriers, I'd jump to that.

- My guess is that hot stretch we had last week may just be the hardest it'll get all summer in these parts. We really don't get those crazy hot summer stretches as we used to anymore here. When I first started to visit New York way back in the late 90s to early 2000s those summers were filled with some intense heat waves.

- Yeah, Toronto was like that back then as well. We had two to three weeks where it got really hot and humid. Apparently they had some of that last week according to my mum.

- "Sunday Morning" and "Tarkus" are probably the worst to look for the celesta sound, since "Sunday Morning" also includes piano, and "Tarkus" also includes organ/piano/synthesizer..

- It's city car, 3,54m long. Probably even less popular in Bosnia than here because with those small cars you pay premium to have something smaller. But because it's light it goes well, consumption is hilarious and we don't have so big problem with space in front of the house.

Now, my take on LG - if you get a model that works really well, their phones are really good. I thoroughly enjoyed my G4 experience this year, and that phone is on my shortlist of phones I'd own again.
But the issue is that there are production horror stories from the G3 onwards. That's a problem. At least you know Samsung and Apple tries to minimize those with making sure their products are built well and run well. If LG improves their production build quality, they're back in the game.
I just don't get it with some of these OEMs...

- So...the Klipsch has the following:
Pros:
1) Clean design
2) Very good (expected, really) sound
Cons:
1) No on-line mic on this model
2) In ear fit for one ear isn't good
3) No real noise cancelling based on in-ear fit
So I'll keep using them as they're better than my Pistons, but still not a fit.
The best audio combo I've had on a phone so far is the Z3 + the Sony noise cancelling ones. I still have those headphones of the Z3 Tablet compact, but they don't with anything else...
