Comment Sony ericsson (Score 5, Interesting) 422

I had their flip phone from about 4-5 years ago. After about a year the texting got quite difficult as the buttons started to stick and it became difficult to text quickly. One day when I was filling up my car with gas I put my phone on the hood of my car for some reason and then drove off. I realized about 5 minutes later and drove back and someone had run over it. It actually worked BETTER than before as the buttons no longer stuck. It was pretty scratched up though. Later that year in the winter I was digging my car out of the snow on a warm day and it fell out of my pocket and into a giant puddle of water.I took it out, turned it off and let it dry for a day or two near a heat source and it still works to this day. Sweet phone, and if anyone else has this phone and the buttons stick, run it over with your car.

My grade 3 teacher was probably the most apathetic booze hound ever employed by a school board anywhere. There was an eclipse in the spring of that year and he took us all out onto the playground and had us check it out. So we all stared at the sun and probably all permanently damaged our eyes. Thanks Mr. Healy you jerk!

You also have to consider that, since the economy is in such rough shape, wouldn't pursuing a 4 year CS degree be a pretty nice place to hide out until the economic storm blows over? Personally I plan to finally go to law school for the next three years, since I'm not going to be making any money in the current situation...hopefully I emerge form the wreckage in a decent career. Go for it and good luck.

Behind the Scenes In Apple Vs. the Record Labels 146

je ne sais quoi writes "The New York Times recently posted an article describing what really happened between Apple and the Record labels that culminated with the January 6th Macworld Keynote by Apple Senior VP Phil Schiller." Essentially they discuss a bit of a swap: Apple allowed variable pricing for songs and the industry allowed DRM free music. And apparently the iTunes homepage is a huge hit making device. Big shock.
