Why not get rid of the International Date Line? That's more confusing than DST.

When I flew from Sydney to Papeete, I arrived the day before I left, i.e., departed 8:30 p.m. Sunday from Australia...arrived after after 10 p.m.on Saturday--the day before--in Tahiti with no reservations because my stateside travel agent didn't consider the International Date Line. She might be forgiven since that was before airline schedules were computerized.

Is there DST in Alaska, Yukon, Northwest territories? Lapland? it's light most of the time in Summer, and dark much of the Winter. DST doesn't make sense in central and southern Arizona, New Mexico, west Texas where it cools down to a balmy 105 degrees F. at night.

So, what are the complaints about DST? It was for farmers and factory workers, so they say, but farmers aren't thrilled about milking cows in the dark. Oh, wait, they have lights!

There's the character, Steven Colbert, from the TV show, and the person, Stevie Colbert [kol-bert].

It'll be delightfully schizophrenic if they're both hired for the Late Show, and can be on stage together. Can't wait!

I store all my contacts on the SIM card. Move SIM from old phone to new phone. Done. No Outlook needed. Worked with Moto, Symbian, W8, Samsung...

When you try too hard because you think it's complicated, give up and do the easy way instead.

Perhaps that's so. Maemo, Meego and Symbian are better than both. I like Android devices because I can use standard cables and standard peripherals, mount it on my desktop and view/hack contents, instead of having to decrypt/jailbreak, etc. to get into an iPhone. Best thing about Android: No iTunes!!!!

Is there a stupid tax for Windows 8 phones? Nokia Lumia 521 far exceeds expectations, more so with Lumia 1520. How many apps do you need anyway?

Apple is a marketing company. They're great at convincing people to pay more for older tech that Apple claims is new--they're customers don't know, don't care.

With Android, it's more about what you can do, and do well, without paying too much.

Tayyip Erdoan isn't stupid. In fact he's one of the better recent Turkish leaders, but he's a conservative [not crazy] Muslim.

He's not following events in Egypt. When Hosni Mubarak saw all the excitement about Twitter messaging, he banned Twitter to stop the tweets. So the tweeters did the best thing to get the word out. They left their homes and businesses to rally in the streets--real, not virtual interaction--since virtual contact was shut down.

That was the beginning of the "Arab Spring" and the downfall of Mubarak. Erdoan needs to be more confident about the future and stop listening to the religious conservative extremists, so he won't make all the same mistakes as Mubareak. Turkey is more forward-thinking than that, or at least it was, until Erdoan got spooked [stupid]. http://www.todayszaman.com/new...

iPhone is only "excellent" because Apple ads say it is. Most owners have never tried other smart phones to compare.

No need for Apple to make deals with China Mobile. Found "[i]Phone" for $35 on Chinese web site--and it has a removable battery and dual SIM slots.

Chinese ain't gonna buy Apple branded stuff when the above phone sez on the back, "Designed by Phone in California..."

I didn't give it to them. Neither are mentioned in any posts.

I don't want to display that and wish to delete. Does Google+ do that? I suspect they can, but may not.

When can we get these goodies in rural America?
