I'm such an Apple bitch lol.
I have a 16gb iPhone 5s, a 128gb iPod touch, a 120gb iPod classic and an 8gb iPad Nano.
I gave my son my new windows laptop when I upgraded to the 15" MacBook Pro 256gb.
I find their products so user friendly...they have it all sewn up man.
I currently use a 64gb iPad Air everyday, and with over 700,000 apps for it, it's amazing. It's no surprise Apple have sold over 225,000,000.
My son Connor is a whiz on the iPad, so i have bought him an iPad mini for his Christmas, and I chose a 64gb one for him as he is forever downloading games on mine and now he can download loads of games on his own. I also got him his own iPod touch...it's so great to see his collection of music....he has great taste!!!!
So this takes me to Apple's 16th October announcement of the new iPad Air 2.....yep you guessed it I had to order one. I went for the largest 128gb this time, in white for a change with the gold back. Ordered direct from Apple and should have by Wednesday.
No I'm not getting paid from Apple for this. Yeah the products are expensive, but are trouble free and there is always a premium to be paid for this and the convenience of use. This is a company that does everything right....never cease to amaze me.

Amazed at my 7yo sons music knowledge
So I was updating Connors iPod whilst he asked for songs by name or by singing a bit lol, even asked for the entire greatest hits by The Eagles. He has in excess of 1400 songs on their but is very capable not to duplicate by memory. He also introduced me to a few songs that I hadn't heard before, one such example is a song by Ella Henderson - Ghost.

Bronson - Movie review
Michael Peterson tells us he was born into a normal middle-class family. He does not blame his childhood or anything else for the way he turned out, and neither does this film. It regards him as a natural history exhibit. No more would we blame him on his childhood than we would blame a venomous snake for its behavior. It is their nature to behave as they do.
At an early age, after seeing 'Death Wish' young Michael took the name of Charles Bronson. And as Bronson, he has become the U.K.'s most famous prisoner and without any doubt, its most violent. With a shaved head and a comic moustache , he likes to strip naked and grease himself before going into action.
His favourite pastime is taking a hostage and then engaging in a bloody battle with the guards who charge to the rescue, swinging clubs and beating him into submission. He has triggered this scenario many times, perhaps because he enjoys it so much. Originally sentenced to seven years ("You'll be out in three," his mother calls to him in the courtroom), he has now served 34 uninterrupted years, 30 of them in solitary confinement.
Why? We don't know. The movie doesn't know. If Bronson knows, he's not telling. The movie takes on a fearsome purity, refusing to find reasons, indifferent to motives, not even finding causes and effects. It is 92 minutes of rage, acted by Tom Hardy. This is a versatile actor. Hardy brings a raw physicality to the role, leaping naked about his cell, jumping from tables, hurtling himself into half a dozen guards, heedless of pain or harm. It must hurt him, because it makes us wince to watch. The word is animalistic.
They say one definition of insanity is when you repeat the same action expecting a different result. Bronson must therefore not be insane. He repeats the same actions expecting the same results. He goes out of his way to avoid different outcomes. During one stretch of comparative passivity, he's allowed to go to the prison art room and work with an instructor. He enjoys this, I think. He isn't a bad artist. When it appears he may be showing progress, what does he do? He takes the instructor hostage and is beaten senseless by guards.
"I showed magic in there!" he shouts after one brawl, bleeding in triumph. How's that? Magic, like in opening night? Does he expect a standing ovation? I believe most of us, no matter how self-destructive, expect some sort of reward for our behavior. It may not be some people's idea of a reward, but it's ours. Is Bronson then an extreme masochist, who only wants to be hurt? They say there are masochists like that, but surely there's a limit. What kind of passionate dementia does it require to want to be beaten bloody for 34 straight years?
I suppose, after all, Nicolas Winding Refn, the director and co-writer of "Bronson," was wise to leave out any sort of an explanation. Can you imagine how you'd cringe if the film ended in a flashback of little Mickey undergoing childhood trauma? There is some human behavior beyond our ability to comprehend. I was reading a theory the other day that a few people just happen to be pure evil. I'm afraid I believe it. They lack any conscience, any sense of pity or empathy for their victims. But Bronson is his own victim.
