I recently left Verizon and switched to Virgin Mobile and picked up two LG Optimus V Android phones. They are a GREAT deal. They have a 600mhz processor and have not encountered any issues running and apps.

I'm now paying $50/month for my girlfriend and myself to have two droid phones with 300 minutes, "unlimited" data and text messages where as I was previously paying $50/month for 1 phone on Verizon with 400 minutes, unlimited text messages and no data. (That was after a 25% corporate discount!) On top of that she was paying $100 a month with T-Mobile for unlimited everything. I'm saving over $100 (between us two) and getting more useful features that I use.

If any of you are off contract (another benefit to VM -- they don't have contracts) I would strongly suggest looking at Virgin Mobile and their Android phones, I believe they have two to choose from, one from LG (which I have) and one from Samsung.

The Western Roman Empire and the Chinese Empire coexisted for centuries.

The world moves a lot faster nowadays. It may have been able to handle two mega empires simultaneously solely because of geographical limits. Natural resources were also not nearly as in demand as they are today.

Just my $.02

I solved the facebook connect issue by just creating a custom filter in my adblock settings.

*.facebook.com.*$domain=~facebook.com|~127.0.0.1

This is a quick fix that doesn't require another plugin to be loaded into memory.
Cheers!

I know that, google recently changed their logo which included a rotating buckyball. When you clicked on the logo, it performed a google search for "buckyball" which happened to place the BuckyBalls website very close to the top giving them a lot of exposure and sales.

I recently purchased 4 sets of BuckyBalls when they were recently on woot. I'm pretty pissed that I did now and want to show my support to Zen Magnets and buy a set of theirs. They seem to have much better quality from everything I have read and seen, and can attest to BuckyBalls "flakes" now coming off in my hand after using the magnets for about 2 weeks.

From what I have heard, this company BuckyBalls made about $500,000 in sales from the woot sale (woot actually bought more from BuckyBalls on the day of the sale because demand was so strong), and $250,000 in sales on the day Google changed its logo to honor the Buckyball. Seems they may have grown too big for their britches and feel a sense of entitlement now.

Works pretty well actually.

I happen to sweat a decent amount. In the summer, if I keep my phone in my pocket, it will trip the sensor. What am I supposed to do to prevent that from happening?

I don't know if gif/jpeg rules are the same. But you can upload a GIF as a JPEG, and it will still render as a GIF, even though the file is itself JPEG. In fact, even some free image hosting sites exploit this "vulnerability". If you upload a GIF to tinypic, it will rename the file and place the .jpg extension after it.

Firefox and IE seem to have no problem deciphering this so I doubt it is something that the browsers specifically disallow.

Your statement reminded me of one of my favorite quotes.

To make people aware of what they don't necessarily know about or necessarily need/want. Doesn't targeted marketing miss out on this aspect of advertising?

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (still the apotheosis of 2-d fighting; just try finding a copy on ebay)
Hmm, ok.

That was Hard...

And to think, I own this game and it is collecting dust somewhere. Perhaps I should list it on ebay and retire to some faraway country.

Without a doubt.

I guess I should have added that the strangest part of my experience was that I think it is weird that a family where the father pulled in $100,00+/year, which allowed the mother to stay home and "home school" the kids, didn't think to prepare their kids to be able to do the same when they grow up.
