My darling mother, bless her liberal socks,
never quite caught up with the latest term for 'African-English'. When she was a pickney 'black' was bad so you said 'coloured' because 'they're often more of a brown, aren't they?' Then the Black Power movement fucked that up and she's been a bit stumped ever since.
She once told me she'd seen 'a gorgeous negro in the high street'.

Now it is, sure.
But before 'Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud' etc., it was taken as derogatory. The Black Power chaps reclaimed it, like the benders did with 'queer'.
But only few years ago people started saying 'people of colour' in the US, just to add to the PC minefield.

This is the problem with society today.
When I were a lad, and all this was just fields, Old Man DogFucker would repair things. If the kettle was on the blink, he'd investigate and fix it. If the telly broke, a specialist TV repair man would be called to fix it (or it would go back to Radio Rentals and they'd sort it).
These days, if something breaks, we replace it no mend it.

Easy geeze.
Only on a very little way.
Most of my 'wow' technology is through Apple, and they're quite clever in the respect that they update previous models. Every single thing they produce has a one-year life cycle, more or less. They're clever that their updates are just low enough, combined with massive software improvements, that last year's top model will hold it's value the following year, and will have something 'new'.
It's every two-three years that they go to "if you like it, buy the latest, you'll love it", for example, it's been some time since the Nano had a real refresh, this year's Nano is a real increase in features, but for the last two years, it was only made slightly smaller. With the shuffle, they've gone backwards in design, last year's buttonless model was a mistake.
Apple TV is an entirely new take on things, so next year it'll come out with some new features, and in two-three years, it'll come out with something with a more 'wow' factor (apps? 3D? Games?.... nobody knows).
They also hold their value very well, I sold my 3GS for the price it cost to upgrade to a iPhone 4.
Thinking about technology. Think about it, the industries that are known to be 'open' (anyone can manufature) , such as 'PC's and 'Android Phones', are the ones where it seems that there is huge increases every 3 months, devalueing the previous top model. It'll happen with android-based tablets too, they won't hold their value.

As a rule
I try not buy a first generation model of any Apple product, I've found that they often have some significant fault somewhere and, as you've said, you know that in a few months they'll fix the fuck-up and upgrade it generally.

I don't think it's been like that in the last 3-4 years really.
And even then, it's a minor amount of consumers who have these problems.

An ex of mine's father worked for IBM and bought himself a £5k PC, at the time it was the Don. Nowadays you probably get more from the average telephone.

Darwin Deez were a good new act (for me), to see the Libertines is probably quite impressive nowadays what with Smackhead Pete being a twat (still don't like them much), and Metronomy are excellent, as usual.

Nearly did it a few years back.
They wanted folk signing up to do 12 hour shifts, have immaculate clothes and perfect appearance at all times, not drink or smoke even on their time off, and travel to/from, camp and live on the site entirely at their own expense; all this for the minimum wage less a 30% agency fee. Oh, and you were expected to be front-line security too.
Despite all that, it was only four solid days of torrential rain in the week leading up to the event that led to me backing out in the end.
