I'm actually with you on this one. I remember reading the last scientific study Giz posted from this guy regarding an iPhone and some other competition. At the time, it felt like there was just something lurking under the surface about the results and how it was all written that made it seem extremely pro iPhone. …

It's the same argument iPhone users seem to dislike about many Samsung phones. They complain the phones are too light and too cheap. I like my lighter Samsung, and with the composite materials, it's less likely to break if it falls, unlike the iPhone. I have a very thin shell of a case on my phone, and I've dropped…

Wow, I've been in that region of Siberia, and it's rough. I was a few hours drive to the west, and there's not much difference one way or another out there in how things look. Life is rather bleak for a great many people, especially since the fall of the Soviet Union. I mean, it wasn't great, before, but now it's…

I think I'm with you on this one. It sounds like I cut my teethe on the same sort of high fantasy, and then went on to science fiction, in general. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the sexy time in fantasy OR science fiction, although I think there is certainly a place for the general love story. Additionally, I…

You cad! Why would you even mention ankles? Now I'll be up the rest of the night lusting after luscious bare naked ankles. Well, I prefer cankles. ;-)

Great points! That is exactly what I was meaning by agnostic, and, I believe, it's the meaning most people would agree with, in general. Thanks for articulating that as well as you did.

I'm using iOS 6 on a couple different devices, none of which are an iPhone 5. So far, I can't really tell much of a difference in anything. My iPad 2 looks and works just like it did before, as does my iPod Touch 4G. I also have several Android tablets and phones, but in the end, I think I prefer Android for its…

I own the Sprint SII, at 4.52", and I waited on getting the SIII because I knew the Note II was nearing release. I want the Note II so bad I can taste it. This phone absolutely isn't for everyone. I have large enough hands to palm a basketball, so I don't think I'll have an issue with this phone being so large. …

Seriously?

My point in being agnostic is merely meaning that you admit you don't know, or lack knowledge. It seems to me that many non-believers I'm around pride themselves in being extremely open minded, yet they seem to immediately slam the door shut at any mention of any sort of deity. It simply seems ironic to me that most…

That's a good question, and there's probably not a good answer for you except to say this is a very ancient saying among the Jews in reference to Yahweh. This very concept of God has been around for thousands of years, so tracking down the exact source for an accurate citation might be a tad difficult. For the sake…

Ahhh, that's me! My wife has darker eyes and has trouble believing me when I tell her even moderate sunlight hurts my eyes. I think my ancestors must have been nordic.

Money and Power. It's as simple as that. There are a few people out there willing to do these things for an ideology, but for the most part, follow the money and the power. I might have said it before, I'm not sure, but the human condition hasn't changed in recorded history. We deal with the same things people…

I'm a Christian, and also a science nut. However, I'm not embarrassed in the least. There are still flat earthers out there, too. You can't go around and apologize for every weird idea floating around the universe.

A scientific conference in Novosibirsk? That's almost like going to a scientific conference in Billings, Montana. There's just not that much there. Weird...

I can see how most people would think that, and truthfully, it's just my opinion. The empirical evidence I've seen in my lifetime indicates to me that when a person or group commit some act of violence in the name of God or Christianity, there is an actual disconnect between that person or group and God. The…

I'm sorry, you are all completely wrong. They can't put anything on the internet that isn't true. I have to go now, my date is here. She's a French model. I met her in the internet...

WOW, really? Why not make it really complicate? Pffft! You already mentioned Astro. Open Astro and one of the tiles is called, Application Backup. Back up the app/s you want, then go to Manage My Files and then to Backups. The APK is now saved in that folder. The next thing to do is to upload that file to Box,…

Trust me, I agree with you. As I said, it's not logical in any way. I'm not superstitious, or a believer in luck, or bizarre metaphysical manifestations of... whatever. I'm not even a big believer in religion, Christian or not. Of course, people blame religion on many of the more horrific atrocities committed…

I agree with you in every way. iOS is terrific if you don't want control of your device and you don't mind a company telling you what you can and can't do with the device you purchased. I was a Palm guy for many years, and had a Palm TX I used as a pocket ereader. It was amazingly good at that task for me. One…
