The IMEI number changes with the phone. So, if I took my SIM card out, and put it in another phone BAM new IMEI number.

How about taking the whole damned paragraph instead of just the part that you like"
The quality of the pixels you see impacts how you use your computer. After years of experience, Apple engineers have discovered the ideal resolution to display both sharp text and graphics — a pixel density of about 100 pixels per inch (ppi). Other vendors may offer a larger monitor, but with less resolution, so you end up with fewer pixels, or a smaller monitor with a high resolution that causes eyestrain and headaches. Apple’s balanced 100 pixels per inch format is optimized for images, yet allows you to easily work with text in email, Safari and sophisticated type treatments in layouts.
They even state that its a trade off between good image quality, and good text quality.. Hence that word BALANCED in there.
Now, don't ask me why a lower ppi is good for images, doesn't make sense to me. I just wanted to bring the whole paragraph into play here.
And according to the article he linked, it was 1961.
No one knows exactly how it started, but a coal vein has been burning under the Pennsylvania mining town of Centralia since 1961.
2010 - 1961 = 49 years there buddy.
It didn't fail on it's own though. An employee broke it and BP senior execs didn't think it was important enough to delay further to fix it.
Maybe his choice happened before he left the house? Or sent his mom to go get it for him I mean....
Fucking Agreed. She makes some fucking good fucking points, but no fucking need to swear so fucking much.
A few years ago I crashed into a light pole. I was charged with Wreck-less Driving and Damage to City Property. But I guess my county is a bit of a hardass when it comes to charging traffic bullshit. We're located right next door to Cook county (Chicagos county). They gotta prosecute something...
Yeah all I got was google search results page. Oh well. Nice try. Better luck next time.
As an aside, by now I'm pretty much desensitized to all that crap. From Goatse, to tub girl, 2girls 1 cup, etc etc. It doesn't bother me. Do I wish I didn't see it? Sure. Do I lose sleep over it? Nope.
By "a phone like these" do you mean the iPhone, or smart phones in general?
I mean iPhones, Android phones, etc. Anything with large/touch screens. Yeah, some people use them for work...but the vast majority buy them for entertainment. (Blackberries I guess would be a major exception because of all the business use.)
You can use it on T-Mobile, but the 3G is a different frequency from ATT to TMobile, and thus not supported. So you'd only get 2G speeds with the internet. Which let's face it, thats the whole reason for a phone like these anyhow.
He tried returning it to Apple, but it is not Apples phone anyway, it's Gray Powell's phone.
So you consider a prototype, that an engineer for a company is using for testing and development purposes to not belong to the company? Even though I would guarantee it was ISSUED to him, for testing purposes? I doubt if it was GIVEN to him for his own personal use, and to keep as his own property. IMO the phone was being used by Gray, but belonged to Apple. Just like your computer at work is the property of the company, but is issued to you for your use.
And its either 10, 100, or 1000Mbit ethernet. 250 > 100.
Actually, the last time I accidentally went swimming with my phone in my pocket the exact opposite happened. Every function of the cell phone still worked, except the ability to use the network. Phone and Data no longer worked. The shitty thing was, right after I got out of the water and noticed, it still worked. For an hour or so while it was still wet everything worked. The next morning after I had let it dry out with the battery and sim/microSD card and battery cover off, the network didn't work. It would show full signal if I didn't have the SIM card in it, but if I put the SIM card, no signal.
