I know what you mean. I was supposed to get ahead in my homework and thesis, read some books, and beat Mass Effect, but the Olympics have me hooked from noon to midnight... Ontario will start going hardcore tomorrow night as men's hockey commences.

Like everyone is falling in the womens snowboarding today. Is this normal? :blink:

No, this is NOT normal. It was really bad in the beginning because of the fog, but the track itself seems like ridiculously solidly packed snow. I was watching the men's cross yesterday, and that was pretty good. Something must have happened to the track during all of that rain this morning.

Argh, I was commuting from my parents' to my place when she won that gold! Looking at the qualification runs, I doubted we would get anything, so I'm going to have to hunt down this clip...Assuming they don't play the hell out of it tonight, haha.

Stunning run... Watching the hockey game now, and either Norway is playing really well, or Canada really needs to get their act in gear and start learning how to work as a fluid unit. I fear having only one practice previous to this game might not have been enough.

the snow is garbage at best in vancouver. nothing but rain in the last three weeks and now it's sunny and warm out, it's not going to get any better.

I was out driving today with the windows down; I am not complaining! Still a bit too chilly, though.

Yeah was raining a bit harder last night. Beautiful day today thought. I didn't know they were lighting up fireworks though. I can't seem em from where I live and I didn't want to trek downtown for fireworks in the rain. With the climate this year, its almost as appropriate for Florida or Columbia to get the Winter Olympics.

I REALLY hope the closing ceremonies will bring a really nice fireworks display. The opening ones sucked.

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
