Why shouldn't I use a phone as an alarm clock?
Did you not see the topic of this article? My plug in has never crapped out due to bugs. Looks like you can't say the same for that phone.

The Fourth Amendment says people should be secure in their "persons, houses, papers, and effects." These are all clearly material things, and don't include the contents of your brain.

The latest models have MUCH better compatibility. The FC Mobile II is by far the best clone I have used. The audio is perfect, almost every game runs (I own every one of the games you listed, and the only one it does not play properly is Gauntlet, giving you the improperly built levels) and holy hell it's a portable NES. Comes with two wireless controllers and a wireless light gun*. If you are without an NES or want one on the go, that's where to put your cash.

fittest is technically speaking physical fitness. and in evolution survival of the fittest does not apply to intellect, as in other species the most intelligent one usually lose (why there are no talking lions (lol).
Really? Then how did we become the "fittest" species on the planet when we can't outrun a housecat, much less something bigger that sees us as food?
