So basically they need to telepathically know all of that, know you properly did troubleshooting on your end up to that point and that you're one of the few who can do it competently. Sounds reasonable. They really ought to just know skip the standard process of elimination for you when they see it's your number.

Shortened URLs in forum posts and emails are probably the most common places I've encountered then. Even regular URLs in emails are hard to scrutinize on smartphones without actually clicking them. It's really about layers of protection being better than a single solution.

Not for viruses, but for spoofed link protection. I can't mouse over links and see where they actually go. My malware protection comes in the form of aggressive ad blocking.

This will go nicely with the ebook price fixing settlement.

Are you listing these as positive or negative things to look for?

For a mere $15, I can sell you my super uninstaller package :D

You are a GentleBeaver and a scholar. Thank you.

To clarify, a password locked iphone.

That's only if it's on it's "home" computer, right? If it's never been synced before then you still do. I deal with a lot of tourists away from their systems.

Will this work with the camera kit and a USB keyboard? People with broken touchscreens on their locked iPhones would thank anybody that can figure out a way to get their phones backed up.

I feed them my own poop. That way it's organic, locally sourced and something else that sounds cool.

Flip side of this; when buying somebody's phone make sure you have protection if it's stolen merchandise. Even US GSM carriers can ban stolen phones now. Swappa has a IMEI/ESN checker or (ideally) you'll meet the person you're buying from at the phone store to check. Legit sellers shouldn't mind, but thieves may…

So that which protects me from skin cancer kills them? WE CAN DEFEAT THE GREEN MENACE!!

My wife and I were going to do it, but we then considered our parent taking turns murdering us for not being part of the "big day". We had an incredibly informal ceremony intended for her parents and my parents only. And we're happy with that. Maybe a renewal in a few years with a monkey suit and such, but that's…

That's one reason why I prefer Android and even Windows Phones. iOS gets very cluttered and is a relative pain to organize.

Use 2 alarm clocks. The first one should play a more relaxed, non-jarring song, about 15 minutes or so early. Low to medium volume. The 2nd one will be a more traditional buzzer. This worked well for me. My mind started peacefully rousing when the music started, and the 2nd finished waking me up.

My issue tends to be the headphone jack receiver. Crackly when you rotate the jack and it's left or right ear only if you don't. Any chance it's something I don't have to disassemble the whole thing over?

Might have to try q-tipping the jack, now that I think about it. Where's that alcohol?

That's all marketing hype. Once you've had a well tuned analog experience, you'll swear off digital.
