Windows 10 Update Rollout
Time

Just to be clear, when it says...

"Free to upgrade for the first year"

...this means...

"Upgrading within the first year will be free of charge because we really want you to upgrade early. No strings attached!"

...not...

"We'll let you use it for a year and then hit you with a huge bill and/or charge you to keep the system upgraded. Evil laugh"

Can anybody point me to somewhere where the first scenario is spelled out in 10ft tall letters? My researches seem to suggest it really is the former option. But surely that can't be the case, this is Microsoft right?! LOL

This statement about Windows10 sounds more like the Microsoft we know...

"Windows10 automatically receives all non-critical updates, in addition to automatic driver updates, as they are released without the possibility of declining them" (There is a bit of this now anyway)

Worst Blu-ray transfers thread

The first The French Connection release. Do any of these beat that? Now that's some bad work.

I wouldn't call that a bad "Transfer" per say, it was transferred exactly the way Friedkin wanted... like a blurry, distorted, scuzzy mess... that I wasted my money on (Grinds teeth). Thankfully he has since regained his sanity and done that more faithful "Signature" release. But the first bad release is the one you always find on sale in Europe. Same with Gladiator, the first bad release is the one you'll find in shops.

Worst Blu-ray transfers thread

This Studio-Canal release of 'Escape from new york'...

Badly upscaled from the DVD, then DNR'd, then sharpened, so it actually looks much lower resolution than the DVD. Such a disaster that Amazon just gave me my money back without even asking me to bother returning the disc. By far and away the worst BR I've seen to date.

This is Shout-Factory disc is much better...

Secret Cinema - Empire Strikes Back in London
Time

Well that was pretty damned awesome! I can't really say to much without giving anything away (It's supposed to be secret afterall). But it was like being "inside" the original Star Wars movie... and a good chunk of ESB too. If you can get there and are willing to pay the steep ticket price do not miss out on this people.
