In other words, this is going to be an impressive chip but don't expect it to catch up to the Apple A13 (or even the A12) in terms of single- or multi-core performance, but the chip is 35% more efficient which will inevitably translate to better battery life.

We lost one a few years ago and the emotional trauma in house with children is just terrible. Our other dog is now 14 and we have to gear ourselves up for another round of this as he shows signs of old age.... My mother tho had a sheepdog ( collie) and he lived to 28 and he looked every day of that 28 years old ...poor feller.

Any large beer brands: Heineken, Budweiser, Carlsberg. These guys are spending more money on marketing than they are quality of the product. Sure Budweiser is brewed with rice, the cheaper way to brew beer. They all have low alcohol content because they don't want to pay more tax or be in the higher tax bracket based only alcohol volume. Probably because more alcohol in their already bland drink would make it taste more like piss and how could the drinks companies charge a premium and pay higher tax on alcohol? They couldn't. So the they keep the alcohol low, so they can keep their profits higher. Mean while, I'm buying craft beers at 8.0% and 7.5% with actual flavour, character.

You can actually eat a Big Mac without chewing or maybe chewing just once or twice. I think it's designed that way to make people morbidly obese. To the thread I will add STARBUCKS. It is appalling. I'm not a huge coffee-head maybe drink it a couple of times a month but most pubs have a bog standard coffee machine with good beans and that to me can be a lovely coffee with a ham/cheese toastie. Anheuser-Busch is another big name that produces crappy beer. I don't want to get on an America bashing rant but having lived there for several years so many of their big name products are just garbage. People on here are complaining about cars like Audi and BMW or Toyota Landcruisers. I have one word for you...Chevrolet. Utter junk. WonderBread. This is the most popular bread in America for some inexplicable reason and it is dire. Brennan's blows it away. Dominoes Pizza is muck. The two best pizzas I've had in Ireland are Doughboy's in Galway and Romano's on Capel Street. So good that you have that awful sense of bereavement when you've finished it. Was never a fan of any Nike product. Far preferred Adidas or Puma.

I've lost only one floofer luckily. It was devastating but it really equipped me to deal with other heartache in life and I love to look back on the time spent with them. In terms of brands, a lot of software you need to buy has a freeware equivalent which is just as good if not a bit better if you're not doing anything too complicated. Audacity is grand instead of Protools for the basic music and sound editing . Windows movie maker or Openshot will do for video.

Maybe the fuss generated is something to do with it being the first UK designed product to make a big splash in many the year but, for me, they are the Apple of products from a marketing perspective but an Acer in terms of performance. When I finally kicked my under-performing Dyson to the kerb and replaced in with a big ugly Meile, I nearly cried in gratitude when I heard the motor rumble to life and watched as my carpet was sucked to within an inch of it's life. So, what brands do you think are overrated?
