1. Amnesia - Think it's actually Irish owned. They do some really nice stuff albeit expensive.
2. A nice place for chilling out is a little bit outside the city, can take a 7/17 tram out to Jan Pieter Heijerstraat called the Kashmir lounge. Has a bar as well as an area filled with cushions and bean bags.
Looking for full or part time poker and betting writers. PM if interested.

also is there anyway to get to the last post you seen in a thread, im lookin at a 100 post page and if i finish reading it at say post 1200 and i dont come back on for a couple of hours is there anyway i can come back to post 1201
On the post thing, apart from keeping track of where you are or bookmarking the specific post, vbulletins last post read thing marks out the latest one that was loaded on the page you last viewed, not anything infinitely more clever than that.

BUT for me the list of what it won't do and can't do make it look seriously inadequate against the tablet competition that's out there.
It looks to me like they've decided that keeping the price down and trying to get a long battery life are more important then putting out a top end product.
I also can't understand a tablet without inking capability. Being able to scribble notes on a tablet is a major plus for these type of devices.
I know some of the higher spec tablets have a shorter battery life but I think that can be overcome.
Personally for me the price point on this would have to be €200-€250 (i.e. in the ebook reader space) not €400-€500 before I'd consider buying. Then again I'm happy to read off an iphone screen or use my new netbook when traveling with its 10hr battery life so I definitely won't be rushing to buy this additional device. Maybe when the early adopter tax has dropped and I've had a chance to play with one I'd look at it again. Also I'd imagine that there might be some serious upgrades to this style of device from apple in time. It certainly has the scope for it.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

Cilic loves his 5 setters. The foot you speak of is not there yet.
Federer is something else alright , I really hope Nadal gets back to his best, even for 1 year as the clashes between him and Fed were golden and nothing has come close since in terms of skill, tension and entertainment. Murray will never have that panache imo.

I'd wait a few weeks on the iphone contract until you see what vodafone are offering with the iphone. You might get a better deal when the competition kicks off.Last edited by V for Vendetta; 28-01-10, 11:41.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

and yes, hopefully Nadal gets it back but I wouldn't be too optimistic"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Originally posted by Gimmeabreakcan I buy an iphone somewhere, say off the shelf or from the back of a lorry, that I dont have to sign up to O2 for and that I can just shove my existing vodafone sim into? I cant upgrade my phone myself in the shop btw so I would probably be looking for the back of a lorry option.
I'm going to get one for my Wife but I'll probably wait for the Google phone for myself.
But yes you can buy them anywhere but you are getting a huge discount on the hardware by getting a contract (that you will probably need anyway) with it.
Also LOL at the apple fanboys. iPad is al style and no substance. It cannot run two apps at once FFS!
Great boost for the netbook / tablet business though. Watch out for the new Asus tablets they will provide much better functionality at about half the price.Last edited by Strewelpeter; 28-01-10, 11:53.Turning millions into thousands

Speaking of i-pads and i-phones, anyone tried the Sleep Cycle App? I've been testing it out for the last few nights and it's pretty cool. Should be interesting to see how my sleep patterns change at the weekend after a feed of alcohol."I believe the target of anything in life should be to do it so well that it becomes art. You read a book and the writer touches something in you that you would not have brought out of yourself. He makes you discover something interesting in your life. If you are living like an animal, what is the point? What makes the day interesting is that we try to transform it into something that is close to art." - Arsene Wenger

Getting the general public interested in buying slates and tablets would be fantastic in that the whole space would then have the scale to grow. Tablets are around about 15 years and Microsoft have engaged with and then abandoned them (Origami for instance) and now suddenly everyone is going to be doing them again. I'm glad apple are doing it for that reason alone even if I never buy an ipad.
The Sony reader and the Kindle are looking endangered at the prices they are charging imo. Watch this space I guess.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

Ya that game sounds like a plan, zuutroy!
Today marks an important day for me. Its the first time in my life that I've planned ahead for running out of cash in my bank account and made withdrawals in time. I'm so proud of myself! Every other time I've gone cash busto for like a week and had to depend on either beans on toast or someone else to give me short term liquidity. I feel like a new man.Foldaramus et foldarabimus

I completely disagree saying Murray is dull. He is absolutely class and quite different than pretty much anyone on the tour. He produced some cracking shots tonight.
He will run Federer very close and if Fed plays like he started against Davydenko, then he will get destroyed.
Still hopefully he pulls it out and makes it 16.

Has anyone ever read 'The Drunkard's Walk' by Leonard Mlodinow? If not, it's very good and certainly relevant to poker playing types. My cousin can lend you his electronic copy if you'd like.

I seriously don't know how anyone cannot like him. He's refreshingly honest, hard-working, and is a winner. I'm a huge fan.
If Murray plays like he did against Nadal, he will beat Fed. No doubts.

They may oscillate between 'British when winner', 'Scottish when loser', but this happens only rarely nowadays. It just gets pounced on when it does happen.
