ASCII & Unicode

Due to grandfathered, backward compatibility, the first 128 #Unicode characters point to the classic ASCII characters we all know & love.

That means my favourite method of ♪quoting song lyrics♫ should still work, since I've memorized a lot of those older ASCII codes. ;) 😁

Calling Out Apple

Alright, I admit it. I'm nobody famous. But I've been around tech a LONG TIME. And it's time for me to call out Apple computer, Inc on their bullshit.
I've been "Pixel binning" & cropping into the photo since 2013 with this beast, the Nokia Lumia 1020 & it's not even Android, it's Windows Phone. Apple doesn't innovate anything when it comes to cameras, really. "The Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field" is in full effect. I'm so tired of their BS.


"It contains Nokia's PureView technology, a pixel oversampling technique that reduces an image taken at full resolution into a lower resolution picture, thus achieving higher definition and light sensitivity, and enables lossless digital zoom." Wikipedia entry here.

Please review the prose I chose
To articulate my imposition.
If you insist on obfuscation of the situation,
You risk the excitation of my disposition.

Sorry, Elton
