Yes, magical.

Anyway, the new "details" panel is useless for photos. Just look at the screenshots and see all image information is gone.

Dear God. Kogan Mobile started so well, everything was seamless, support was good when you needed it.

Like so many companies, they have a small billing issue and 2 months down the line they now owe me nearly $1000 after person after person keeps screwing it up.

Repeated attempts to escalate are refused. Repeated requests to speak to someone, refused.

$20 says that Apple will 'fix' their overheating new iPhone, but not actually 'fixing' it, but by throttling the CPU.

Or call it a feature

Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

Apple's new "hand warmer" option?

"Formerly known as Twitter"

Like it or not, the new owner has changed the name. How long do media outlets have to keep adding the above to their articles when referring to "X"?

Forever because it's really a stupid change.

Until it gets changed to something that doesn't sound like an adult oriented video site. Perhaps they could change it back to twitter since they had the product become a commonly used verb, only someone that was not the smartest would take that away.

Perhaps he will buy coke next and decide to change the name?

Today I am nominating ACC.

I injured my shoulder a couple of months ago and went to the GP who referred me for an ultrasound guided steroid injection.

Had that, it helped and I was told it would wear off after a couple of months and that I would need another if it still hurt then.

It does, so I rang today to see what the process was to get another one.

1) I need another $55 referral visit from my GP

2) A GP can only refer you once - then you need to get special authorisation to keep the bureaucrats busy - that takes (wait for it) 12 weeks

3) Most of the local specialists are (quote) "back from holiday" so if I can get the GP to refer me to one of them ($55) and they send me for the same thing, I can get more than one injection without the 12 week wait for authorisation. I "might" get in to see a specialist before the Christmas break.

4) I was not made aware of any of this pointless bureaucracy until the phone call today.

5) I have to fly to the UK in 2 weeks to visit my sick mother....

So ACC, which is supposed to facilitate my getting better etc seems content for me to be in pain and untreated with a proven solution for 12 weeks whilst they have a think about whether to accept the claim - which I have a letter from them accepting already. You could not make it up.

Then let me add Pharmac. I take a drug called Trulicity for diabetes and have done for 2 years or so. It is an auto-injector that you use once a week.

Due to shortages (according to the pharmacist, caused by popularity of the drug for weight loss on Tictok!) I cannot get the 5 injector pens I need to cover the travel period so tomorrow I have to pay (you guessed it!) $55 for a GP visit to discuss alternatives, despite Pharmac's website suggesting that they will have enough available for existing users. The pharmacy said that they might not even be able to get me one injection for next week, never mind 5.

Which might mess up my HBA1c and my INR....leading to more appointments at $55.....!

Will it not then become " *insert new catchy name here* (formally known as X)"?
