I'd ask you what possible justification you could have for these claims, but either you really believe this (in which case you're an imbecile) or you are being intentionally dishonest (in which case you are below notice). How did a post that starts off with this garbage get modded +5?

Best overall in my book is Johnny Wander:

Why, you ask? Because of silly nonsense like this::

Did you read the study I linked? I don't know who this "we" is. Here in Europe, where we have more renewables and most countries have "smart" grids, EVs are a fine idea.

Your blanket statement about EVs is not correct.

Amen. My HP 48GX made the TI look like a toy.

Yeah, the usual sense of humor revolves around stuff like slapstick and wordplay. Sarcasm and satire aren't understood.

and then quickly recovers.
Right, but not without destroying millions of dollars in value, and sometimes much more than even that. And the SEC getting involved isn't a 'problem,' this is precisely what a regulatory authority is supposed to do.

Yup. 3 GHz quad-core POWER7, and every individual core in that architecture supports 4 threads. It's a beast of a CPU for a little game console.

I find your willingness to speculate about the motivations of a complete stranger based on no information adorable.

Actually it's more anti-Asian than anything else. You are forcing Asian students to work far harder than any of their peers to achieve the same results.

Is that a comment you can explain, or does your mommy not know you're using her ./ account again?

Nokia is STILL selling more Symbian devices that WinMo devices, so this isn't something we have to play guessing games about. People don't want WinMo, but lots of former Symbian users didn't purchase newer Symbian devices because Elop told them the platform had no future.

Have you ever used Belle? If you haven't, then from what position of knowledge are you speaking?

I bought an E6. I like it. It works, the battery lasts, the keyboard is nice and accurate. Nokia Belle is finally ready for prime time, which is ironic in the extreme.

Fire Elop. Immediately. Find the deepest trench in the ocean and throw him in, and then throw in the WinMo phones on top of him just to be sure.

Then take all of the lovely WinMo devices that Nokia developed, and put the OS from the N9 on some and Belle FP1 on others. Sort out Skype so video chat finally works. Finally, clean out all of the trash from the Nokia Store and get, by paying them directly if necessary, developers to build out the basics (e.g., a proper chat client integrated into the messaging app, GMail sync as a default setup option).

when Windows Vista was shiny and new and still a good OS.

So it was never written then? That doesn't make much sense.

What a content-free mess of an article that was. First, there's very little that iPhone or Android users can do that BB users can't do. What major functions are missing? "Social networking apps"? Like what? Which ones?

Second, if your main reason for wanting to switch phones is because people make fun of you, then it's highly likely that NONE of you actually know how to use your damned devices. My 6 year old Nokia can do most of the things that an iPhone can do.
