MB#64: Standy for new smartphone. Also, salad and GT4.

General
My Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N9000 has gone through so much misery at my meaty hands. The top microphone has failed, the USB module has been dislocated again, and its battery life while browsing the World Wide Web remains one of the most pathetic of any 3G-capable smartphone.
A number of choices have come up for what should be my new phone: Meizu MX4 Pro, Motorola Nexus 6, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, HTC One M9, HTC Desire Eye, Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, LG G3. Man, is it going to be hard to pick only one!
Wow! After spending a week eating only vegetable salad for lunch on weekdays, on top of my existing workload, I lost 1.2 kg of body weight in one week. I hope to keep this up for several more weeks, in the hopes that I get my weight down below 75 kg at least. Below that weight, the probabilities that I will die from a cardiac, circulatory, hepatic, renal or gastrointestinal disorder before I turn 40 will decrease significantly.
Finally, after reading up on playing Gran Turismo 4 with PCSX2 and the jackun USBQemu plugin for PC steering wheels, I gave it a try with my Logitech MOMO Racing wheel and pedal set, and it feels wonderful! To think that this is what I was missing from GT4 all these years: precise analog controls and demanding force feedback.
