Have you seen the permissions the Facebook App has on the HTC Rezound? (And I'm sure on other phones.) Oh BTW you cant actually remove the FB App from this phone unless you root it.

This is exactly what it says on my phone...

Actually no, you can't filter out Idle. It's never worked right for me.

Seriously this is stuff that does not belong on the front page of a technology website.

I have an LED TV in my room, still counting all the dots, hang on.....

It's easy to tell when someone has lost an argument. :-D

If your proven wrong, just start name calling!

So the last thing you can show me regarding this was from the Vietnam War.....

The thing is, we don't show enough of "Babies being blown up" and it sounds wrong, but think about it.

If Americans saw what war really did to people, there would be more people against the war. You see, American's don't like that kind of stuff.

Wait so this was on Fox news? CNN? NBC?

Oh you mean it's on the internet, with tons of other gross images that most Americans really don't care about.

I'm sorry, care to show me the latest TV show that displays the blowing up of a real life baby?

That's right, you can't, because it's not shown on TV.

News for nerds? Stuff that matters? This is not front-page material.

"Taylor Momsen Did Not Write This Slashdot Headline." ...
"Hugh Pickens writes..." .....
"David Carr writes that..." /Head explodes

Well yeah? How else would they have gotten into that kind of power?

And Bikers would be more of a threat to me than terrorist if I tried to outlaw motorcycles.

Christians would be more of a threat than street thugs if I tried to ban religion.

It's stating the obvious here....

What hacks me off about ISP's is the available packages for internet.

I just moved up to Colorado, and I had to sign up for internet at my new apartment. It was DSL, and the available packages were as follows...

1.5mb
3.0mb
7.0mb
10.0 mb

When in reality all that I need for gaming, and some Hulu action is perhaps 5mb, but they get you to take that extra jump to 7mb so they can charge you more. All that most anyone needs is maybe 3mb and even that would allow you to some some video streaming (Perhaps not in HD) 5mb would do most American's just fine.

I have a Blackberry Curve with Verizon, and I still have Google listed.

How about we link directly to the simulation and dodge all the blog spam.
