Obsolescence is the state of being which occurs when an object, service or practice is no longer wanted even though it may still be in good working order. Obsolescence frequently occurs because a replacement has become available that has got, in sum, more advantages than the inconvenience related to repurchasing the replacement. Obsolete refers to something that is already disused or discarded, or antiquated.[1] Typically, obsolescence is preceded by a gradual decline in popularity.

- is an iPod, I meanmonospaced
- They tend to only be backwards compatibile for three versions tho, software wise.instrmntl
- the music files aren't obsolete, nor is a portable music playermonospaced

Bread that lasts for 60 days could cut food wasteThis article got me thinking on it. Bread that could last up to 60 days with the additional of preservatives etc. I imagine the bread industry would be against this, as they could on us to throw it away.
"In the US, figures released this year suggest that the average American family throws away 40% of the food they purchase - which adds up to $165bn (£102bn) annually."

- what's obsolete?monospaced
- My monitor.instrmntl
- instrmntl's displaymoldero
- ah, beat me to itmoldero
- My monitor can no longer handle digital files if the quality is too high. My tv is agnostic, so there's something programmed to stop it, hence someone coding that warning.instrmntl
- to stop it from playing and throw up that programmed warning telling me to upgrade.instrmntl
- Ah, I see. That's the rights management from the distributors, not Apple.monospaced
- But why your display is lumped in with the television industry is beyond me. That is weird.monospaced
- thats not your monitor, thats apple, the same movie without DRM will play just fineMiguex
