Oh wow, Congrats!!!! and well done

Thanks!

I can't take all the credit tho the horse and jockey did most of the work. Thank God I decided to show the female a bit of support on impulse considering out of the four I picked one didn't even finish!

Was there anything significant about the horse for you? Other than the female jockey?

Do you have a previous version?

This one has local storage and an App Store. It also has a remote with a touchpad and a microphone so you can use Siri to search etc. that's the main things anyway.

The UI has been updated.

I'm loving how responsive and quick it runs.

You can tap the Siri button and say "what did he just say" and it will rewind a few seconds and replay the scene with the subtitles turned on and this happens lightning fast.

The other thing I really like is that when you search (with Siri) it can look into different apps. So I can search itunes / Netflix / Hulu all at once.

Can you store recorded stuff on it? Like if I record a tv show or music to some other medium could I later copy the file to the apple tv and replay it?

Well done Consuela!

I'm not certain about that yet. It hasn't got a massive hard drive. 32gb or 64gb. I got 64.

And well done to Captain Crunch for managing to save the world from the cavity critters!

Not really. I wasn't even planning on betting on it until they had a thing on Sunrise about the jockey being the only female. My choices/reasonings were Red Cadeaux because it's always popular and I thought maybe this year would be it's time to shine (which is awkies now) and I'd been recommended Criterion from an avid punter and then Max Dynamite because it reminded me of Napoleon Dynamite and the movie which I love. I'm an experienced gambler you see and use the most scientific methods.

Holy crap @Consuela that's amazing - congrats!

I like your scientific reasoning, I mean obviously it worked out for you, but it sounds like the approach I'd take if I ever placed a bet.

I remember in 2006 a horse named Delta Blues won and a whole heap of young people (maybe via their parents) won as they had gone with their love of Delta Goodrem. She was already so passé by then too. But maybe it shows you should go for vapid sentiment.

Nighty Night.

I'm off to bed now too as the buzz is starting to fade so I should be able to settle. I'm predicting I might be a little slower tomorrow at work.

Night all.

I am red, green, and blue. What am I?


A pointless and confusing riddle.

My brother and his wife had to put their german shepard down the other day. It kept getting sick and losing weight. Apparently it looked very malnourished and people would come up to them on the streets and abuse them for not feeding it properly. But they spent like 15 000 dollars on like vet visits and a new diet. But it obviously did not work. Sad thing was that she wasn't that old. Only like a couple or so years I think.

That is Sad .......... German Sheps are VERY sensitive - I almost lost my Girl when she was under 1 year - due to Pancraes issues - they can not tolerate fat!

Guess who won big on the Melbourne Cup!!!
