You mean your cold, dead, deliciously orange-stained hands.

Cool, will it do that "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that. " line for you whenever you want?

Cause I'd be yelling about pod bay doors all day long if it will.

Sense is slick - but I switched to CM6 ( Cyanogen Mod 6.00, an Android Open Source Project based rom ) and was surprised that I didn't really miss anything that Sense had given me. I had already switched away from the very nice weather/clock widget because its weather was not very current and everything else is nearly equivalent. ( Sprint HTC Hero, not the newest/fastest phone but very snappy with CM6 and only slight overclocking )

It isn't just the Eris, the HTC Hero does the same things since the 2.1 update. I wonder if it is happening to other models - I have only been following the Hero forums to see if there is any fix before I update to 2.1.

I guess that was inevitable with last week's story about rat-batteries:

but I'd be worried about the size of the thing, and having to carry plastic bags to pick up after your Pandora console.
Maybe it's based on one of the tiny pocket-sized dogs?

"If I want immersion, I'll go outside."

So you live underwater? Cool!
