If I had mod points I don't know how I would mod this. Up because it's funnily stupid, or down because it's just stupid.

The only explanation of your wrongness I'm going to provide is:

dimensions != measurements

Me, I just had visions of a lot of people ending up at whitehouse.com, instead of where they wanted to go ...

You obviously didn't find the car scene in PULP FICTION funny. Or, for that matter, the scene leading up to that in the apartment.

I, and a lot of the people I know, did.

The way my mind works - when I read this, I couldn't help but think: "What, if any, kind of permissions warning do you get if the app is capable of going on to the market as you and rating itself 5 stars in your name?"

Disclaimer for the humor impaired: Mind you this is more of a joke than a suggestion of something that's at all likely.

ROCK! Call it fudametal!

No, sorry. I'm Jesus. The one the other savior doesn't believe in.

j/k. You did get the reference though. ;)

Well, I loved Firefly, but I really don't see the appeal of Buffy. Just didn't grab me. Dr. Horrible was cool for a web thing, but, as much as I admire Wheadon's creativity, I sometimes feel like telling the fanatics, "Okay, back off, he's pretty good but he has yet to walk on water or write four out of five seasons of a show. All I said was 'I liked "Firefly".' I don't want to join your Buffy discussion group."

Boobs are the people who already purchased one simply because "it's a new device put out by Apple."

And yes, they drive me a bit crazy.

I so wanted marines to show up in the background going "Hi Mom!" when that guy was saying "There are no allied soldiers in Baghdad!"

That's all I really see this as. There's something to be said for that, and I think this is the kind of device I'd be using while spending time in the bathroom (I use my Palm Pre there now, but if it had a larger screen, it'd be nice). But that's about it. Maybe it could replace the laptop while sitting in front of the TV, but not until everything that's flash based that I use (IE games on Facebook) was able to run on the iPad, one way or the other ...

I knew it was a bad movie when I took the time to text my sister during the movie, at the dance scene, "We have reached a point in this movie at which the writers started doing some *really* hard drugs."

Well, I've not had a problem with "horrible" customer service with Sprint. They've been mostly good. There have been a few issues that have popped up recently (browse for "Sprint" in my blog at http://blog.ericdives.com/) but I must say, for day to day stuff they're excellent.

They all have their problems. Really, it's all a matter of personal experience. For me, Sprint hasn't been that bad.

Thing is, it sounds like he IS running a BES. I'm running one, and one user just updated their contract. Thing is, Verzion ignored their existing contract, took off the BES access (which is extra) and suddenly she stops getting her mail. Turns out that BES access on Verizon is an extra charge.

When I upgraded my Blackberry and my Sprint plan to an "Everything Data" plan, all of a sudden my BES access stopped. When I called Sprint, they were all like "Oh sorry, BES access is another $20 a month." Sprint promptly got the phone handed back to them and I picked up a Palm Pre instead ... which ended up being better at email than a Blackberry ever was (and will be, until Blackberry drops their archaic service and jumps on the ActiveSync bandwagon).

I have a hard time not including certain words in the next sentence:

I don't understand exactly why, when the provider does not run said BES server, that they charge an extra fee for BES access on "unlimited" data plans. When it comes to Sprint (a company I've been mostly happy with up until this point), giving me an "Everything Data" plan that doesn't cover "Everything Data" pisses me off.

So yeah, I'm not as happy with Sprint as I used to be. But really, they're just becoming more like the other providers out there ...

My current plan is to live out my 2 year contract with Sprint and see how the provider/phone field looks then (and try to hold off the lusting at every other product that comes out between now and then).

We are finally moving from the Age of Geocities to ... what? We've been in the Age of Google for a while.

Maybe it's different for different products; like for search engines there was the Age of Lycos, and now the Age of Google (of course I might also argue there was an Age of DejaNews).
