Just stumbled across this song, seems like it'd be good as part of the sound track for a battle scene.

For some reason, there's 3 minutes of blank tape at the end of the song/video

I was not aware that Google Translate used indexed webpages instead of a hand-made database...

So I decided to sit down today and update my iPad's OS. It's an iPad Air 2, running iOS 8.4.1.
I plug it into my MiniMac, run a sync with iTunes, and iTunes tells me there's an iOS update available. I click "Update".
The response? A window saying "This version of iTunes (11.4) is the current version."
Now, I haven't updated iTunes in a while, so I'm pretty sure this isn't the case, and per Apple, it isn't.
But it -is- the latest version available for my OS X version (10.6.8).
And a bit of googling shows it's not compatible -at all- with iOS 9.x.
So, in order to update the OS on my iPad, Apple wants me to buy a whole new PC. Not. Happening.

Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.

Or should that be "Tolkien-Ringu"?
