Comment Re:Just that pesky Constitution (Score 1) 949

Why is it so convenient for all these people to just ignore the US Constitution? I don't get it! Are we a nation of laws or not?? There is a process here. The states just need to pass an amendment to the constitution. This ignoring the constitution is very dangerous. What else would be inconvenient and we would like to ignore?

Comment It is all about the number of Cell Towers. (Score 1) 200

Ahh! I live here in the Pacific Northwest; there is a crucial technology fact people are missing. It is all about the number of Cell Towers! Remember, this is a large area with a lot of ground to cover. Without cell towers there is nothing, no connection, nada. You may have the smartest, fastest smartphone out there - none of this matters if you don't have a cell tower in your area; you have no connection. AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile have poor coverage once you get away from the main cities and freeways. And a lot of the beauty is in the mountains, rivers, and ocean beaches. You run the risk of not having a connection in any of these great places. Go to the coverage maps of the major services and only one really stands out in cell tower coverage: That is Verizon. So get an inexpensive Verizon phone and use it for voice calls. Use your IPhone to connect to a local coffee shop's WIFI and do your data there - like checking your email. I think IPHONE will do that? I use WebOS and never have any problems.

Zuckerburger makes the perfect cherubic CEO. He looks like someone you could trust with all the details of your life. Sort-of a techno-psychologist, "So, tell me about yourself." What gets me is how well they do repentance. They temporarily suspend burglarizing your life with some kind of, "Oh Gosh!" And, "Really?" So there he is, many people like pastor Zuckerburger; if they only knew.

Monkeys Exhibit the Same Economic Irrationality As Us 254

grrlscientist writes "Laurie Santos is trying to find the roots of human irrationality by watching the way our primates make decisions. This video documents a clever series of experiments in 'monkeynomics' and shows that some of the stupid decisions we make are made by our primate relatives too."

You're cleaver use of "facepalm oil" made me think of my trusty Palm Pre+. It has no antenna problems, I have yet to have a dropped call at all. The card system navigation on the true multitasking WebOS is simply amazing. 16gb provides enough ram for me and it has a very good 3 megapix camera. I am even synchronizing my old Palm Agendus data directly from my PC to the phone and using the data to dial directly when on the road or at a restaurant with Wifi and Skype. The wonderful little thing even acts a a router with up to five computers. So we can link up 5 computers at a remote location and they can from an Intranet with drag and drop to each other's machine. I browse my calendar while talking on a headset to a client. Any program that will run on the Web runs on the phone. This is only a part of it. Who needs a crappy Iphone? People should just throw it in the garbage and start over, they would fall in love with something like the Pre!
