All that is available right now is the BETA Windows 10.0 -- they want people to use it and report the bugs. Unless you like to do free testing for Microsoft and/or want to develop apps, games, etc for the W10 release and have a computer you can put it on where it would be OK if everything doesn't work, do not do it. Wait for the real release. I'm still on Windows 7 because I hate changing OS with a passion.  I just did an end of financial year update to my tech and bought a new MacBook Pro and IPad Air #love lightning fast and gorgeous. Looking at the new MacBooks as well - so light and cool but they were out of stock and really do I need two computers - hmmm (yes yes I do)  |

I see on twitter some are asking Adam if he saw Rhianna's new video for B*tch Better Have My Money and what he thought of it. I saw it last night...totally shocking, and to me, not in a good way. If she was going for shock value then she definitely succeeded. I found it disturbing and not a piece of art but myabe I am not an artsy enough person. I just didn't see any value to it. Just my opinion, of course. Seems to me like it was designed to do exactly what it did - create controversy and get people to watch it to see what all the fuss is about. Not sure creative intent came into the calculation at all. |

My fan bundle also arrived the other day. Had a note in my Post Office box that I had another package. I think it is for the CD's from Japan because I received an email last week that they had shipped. The line at the Post Office was so long and it is hotter than blazes here that I decided to wait until early tomorrow morning and go pick up that package. ALSO, the autographed slicker insert from JB HiFi from Australia also arrived. My billboard magazine also arrived this week. I am going to have to build an Adam only addition to the house. Running out of room. Q3 - Thanks for the advice about Windows 10. I don't want to be a free tester for Microsoft. Just getting use to the operating system I have now. Got my bundle. Noticed my Japan CDs had shipped...I've already got my Billboard too. Still waiting on my JB HiFi slicker insert, OUT and FAULT. It's hard to keep up with it all....LOL. I saw where a fan on Twitter from Australia got their JB HiFi signed slicker and they posted a pic and it didn't look like an Adam signature to me, and I've seen lots of Adam signatures. It was signed in black which could have happened, but he hasn't used a printed A in many years and the Lambert was strange. Just hope we didn't get snookered on that one. We'll see soon enough. JB HiFi is Australia's largest electronics retailer -- like Best Buy in the US. So I think it will be a real signature. |

Yes, and one of the top selling albums in the world last Grammy year. Taylor Swift will be in that position for the 2016 Grammys. Yeah, I think that one is probably as close to a lock as these things can be So sad to see popularity being the only indicator of worth... I take solace in the fact that many of the best artists of the last 50 years have never received a Grammy and some of the biggest jokes on pop music have ... |

Yeah, I think that one is probably as close to a lock as these things can be I think it is a possibility -- the big awards and the pop category will be filled with top selling recordings. That is always the weird thing though. You read the criteria for Music that is eligible for a Grammy. It is based on critical acclaim. But most always, commercial acclaim is just as important as Critical Acclaim. So for Adam to have a shot at a Grammy, GT well need to peak some where in Top 30 BB Hot 100, I guess. I think the Album is worthy of a Grammy, but I think commercial success well determine that. Taylor is a lock in for Pop Album of the year. 2017 Grammys maybe? |

Aww...@kymysmith who writes the My Bad Ass Alter Ego blog got to meet Brian her hero. There is an Adam mention. ♥ Adam Lambert is ♔ foxvegas 25m25 minutes ago Everyone has someone who has impacted their lives who they with they could meet .. @kymysmith did! Here's her blog... fb.me/x7RbXbkC
Adam mention: I love Dr. Bri!
"Brian asked me what I thought of Adam’s voice and was very quick to tell me what a marvellous singer he thinks he is; he really lit up when he was talking about him. I also had the opportunity to tell him that I write this blog and that I’ve always loved Queen’s music because I have a classical background. I wish I’d had more time to speak to him, but I think I managed to cram quite a bit in."
