I'd mod him up too. BUT it needs to noted, while Apple is obviously choosing to be a patent troll, the patent system (and to a lesser extent, the judicial system) is enabling their behavior.

Your sig made me LOL. Thank you.

I had to chuckle at this. I've noticed the same thing day to day. Android users tend to pal it up with other android users and likewise with iphones. But there aren't any strict divides. And then I have a sister who's the token blackberry user. She loves her torch and wouldn't trade it for the world. I get a kick outta teasing her about RIM going in the shitter and her having to retire her phone eventually.

Oddly enough, I don't know any windows phone users...

Me too. Twinsies! lol

Someone secretly wants to drive a manual... :-)

I usually have lefty at 12 o'clock and righty on the shifter, because.. *puts shades on* driving manual is so much cooler! B-) and fun!

When I'm cruising though, ol' lefty takes a leisurely position at 6. Ya gotta get a good cruise in every once in a while, amirite?

I just plug directly into Cowboy Neal's ass, not only is his gas all natural, it's kosher too!

Didn't they already do this?

And wasn't that phone, well... crap?

HTC Chacha, it already happened.

I managed to get one from the university bookstore I work at in the first round of the firesale. But then an alum donated a bunch of Xooms for us EECS students... So mine is up for sale. Any takers???

If I could live that long, I'd hop on that ship in a heartbeat. You're right though, many of the folks who are against this probably can't even fathom what to do with all the extra free time they would have.

Anyone else read this and immediately think of Futurama? This is basically what happened in their story.

I read this and chuckled to myself because I instantly envisioned a society full of active doddering old fools, running their own small time going-nowhere businesses, with hidden closets full of doomsday devices.

I'm cool with it, I'm just curious which company will end up as Momcorp...

Seeing as how they're based out of the stay I'm from and live in, we get to hear about them all the time.

These folks are NOT the moral beacons they try to portray themselves as.
They're simply a bunch of attention whoring assholes. I really wish news sources would stop posting stories about them as it only validates them further, but I guess it helps keep people aware of this particularly special breed of idiot.

Thanks Westboro, for being the pimple on the otherwise beautiful face of Kansas.

Hey, sounds just like my upbringing! Says another FORMER Catholic. It's a self-deprecating religion.

My life is honestly better without this form of "god" in my life. And my parents respected me for being brave enough to tell them I don't have the same beliefs as them.

I find it's more surprising that more people had a clue. Twice as many in fact. I can't count the times I've heard folks refer to it as an "iPhone 4G", and had to stop myself from acting like an ass while correcting their mistake. (Don't like crApple products, just a pet peeve of mine. If you're gonna babble on about how great a product is, at least know the fucking name.)

I do agree with those who think the wireless carriers don't need to use the 4G term in marketing. They rake in enough cash as it is, there's no need to actively pursue making the general consumer more "stupid". That's just rude.

Agreed. I have been one of those people no longer excited about social networking for some time, and I find that Facebook has lost a lot of its' value. The only thing keeping me from leaving it is all the people and family I left when I transferred schools, and how easy it is to stay in contact with them. These sites are still an adequate tool for maintaining such relationships, but it can be frustrating to do so with all the mindless junk that gets mixed in.

What is sad yet no less true is that sites like Facebook are seen as a requirement for being a social person. Being an introverted person, this fact seems to glare at me the more I use Facebook. I have tried being the social person that "shares" with everyone, but anymore I find myself cherishing the genuine human contact I receive from actually talking to people. Sure Facebook is great for wasting a couple minutes to catch up with everything going on in your world. But its good for no more than that. Life truly is more fulfilling when you just close that tab, and do something else. I'm not leaving it, just leaving it alone.
