I absolutely understand atheism and agnosticism. I've been a fan and follower of science since I was a little boy watching the Apollo missions land on the moon. While many have been inspired by Star Trek and other science fiction, my love for science started with NASA. While I'm not a scientist as an adult, I…

I'm with you! I have large hands, and I'm stoked about the Note II. Not even considering the size of the screens, the Note II is going to blow the iPhone 5 out of the water. My guess is the iPhone is going to make a HUGE leap from a half gig of RAM to a full gig of RAM. Compare that to 2 gigs for the Note II, and…

Thus the imminent defenestration...

I have the Sprint version and I absolutely LOVE the phone. There are a few little quirks I could do without, but mostly, I love it. I've tried several ROM's lately, and have settled on Universe ROM. If you haven't rooted and ROM'd, you don't know what you're missing. :-)

I can imagine! Truthfully, it would be a dream come true to stand on that stage and accept a Hugo. A friend of mine is a successful novelist and credits me for getting him on the road to being a writer. While I absolutely love to create and write, I tend to procrastinate far too much. Congrats to you for your…

I have the exact opposite problem. I happen to be one of the freaks of nature who build muscle almost by accident. Not only do I have a problem finding normal clothes to fit my chest and arms, it's nearly impossible to find a suit to fit properly without spending a fortune on tailoring. In the military, I had to…

I've decided to skip the upgrade from the SII to the SIII and wait for the Note II. I like the size, and I like Android. Why it's worth it is because it fills some of my time as a hobby. I have the time and I have the money, so why not? I enjoy rooting and changing out ROM's and helping other people do the same. …

Heh heh, you said niggardly! My wife won't allow me to use the word in polite company, despite the definition of the word. Someday, she will experience a rude defenestration.

Yes, I like that chart, but I'm still waiting on the Note II. Having started with iOS and now rocking Android HARD, I don't want to settle for the SIII. The Note isn't for everyone, obviously, but I happen to want that phone badly. I'll wait a bit longer for the Note II.

Awesome! Thanks for the tip. Now I have to decide what I want...

AMEN!!!

Well, it involves iPhones. What would you expect?

Way to go Charlie Jane! Great acceptance speech. Just caught it on the re-broadcast.

What about 2 iPhone's and a cup?

This is my own impression of Apple over the last year or so, but I'm totally turned off by Apple as a company. I love their original iPod line simply because of the volume of music I can place on the device. At this point, though, I'm done with Apple. It's not just me. I know a lot of people who feel the same way…

This reminds me of the story of King Edward II. Here's a snippet...

If I had Seinfeld money, I would leave my phone naked, too. Who cares if you scratch it or drop it, or even wipe with it and throw it away every time. Hey, in fact, if I had Seinfeld money, I would consider buying the iPhone by the truck loads and wiping with it. Now that I think about it, that would be the…

I still have my first hard drive I purchased in the mid 80's in San Diego at a little computer store. I had a blazingly fast 8088 processor which ran at a normal 4Mhz, but had a turbo mode kicking it up to a mind numbing 8Mhz. I wanted/needed a hard drive, so I bought the best thing I could afford at the time, which…

Charlie Jane, there's a problem with having an extensive vocabulary in that it can be very difficult to use in everyday conversation. I have a fairly extensive collection of science fiction and fantasy books I've collected since the 70's, when I was a little boy. Most of them are books I've read numerous times. As…
