Clearly we must live in a different social setting, never seen a custom cover (the actual casing of the phone to be precise) on an Android phone. And there are many of those in my circle of friends. Maybe they're popular with teenagers. Protective covers was all I found at dealextreme, and you can get those for iPhones as well.

Custom ringtones and logos/wallpapers have been around for over a decade. There's nothing new about them. It's a huge stretch to call them "killer features" in 2011. As for stock ringtones, I still hear the Nokia tune many times per day, and the owners of those phones are aged anything between 20 and 100. Some people just don't care.

Covers. Ringtones. Logos. Posting from the year 2001 are you? That 'personalize' strategy seems to work so damn well for Nokia right now...

Haven't seen custom covers for Android phones BTW.

Nah, you can also get a 15-incher with a matte screen, but not a 13".

Nah. It's gonna be the Brown Bowl of Death.

I liked the old MIlitary icon, it being a geeky reference to 300 and "SPARTAAAA!!!" The new shiny icon looks like a weird hybrid between a Hellenian and a Roman helmet.

"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
"I think so Brain, but I can't be sure... That magnet has temporarily inactivated my pondering section."

I lol'd. The best use of Soviet Russia in a long time. Here, 1 & 1/3 internets to you, good sir.

Why choose between AC and DC? Something wrong with AC/DC?

"Why wouldn't you release the iPhone, a beefed up iPod + phone service, which gives you much larger profit margins, and having everyone who bought an iPod upgrade for a significant extra outlay? I'm confused."

Exactly. Not releasing the iPhone because of fear of iPod cannibalization would be the conservative, traditional decision. But Apple is bold enough to recognize the fact that eventually somebody would make a product that's better or 'hotter' than the iPod. So why wouldn't Apple make an iPod killer itself?

He used the words "19th century" and "regulations" in the same sentence..?

ROFL. This is like a battle between the Good Twin and the Evil Twin, Dark Side vs. Light Side and so on...

(For the Germanly challenged: 'Salzberg' literally means 'salt mountain', while 'Zuckerberg' is 'sugar mountain'!)

It's actually Game Over for Earth in some 500 million – 1 billion years, thanks to our own Sun getting more luminous.

As a side note: banks are already paying back nice chunks of TARP money, and the gummint might actually get back more than they originally gave them.
