A lot of people are saying go with the SGS2, then flash stock ICS on it... have you considered that? Then you'd have the faster processor, the better software, and the better camera. I'd like to play with an iPhone and see how to set up/use gmail on it, though. That's important, and I'm still hearing nothing is as…

Hrm. I'd really like to play with gmail on an iphone, to see what I'd be missing. I use gmail as much as anything else on my phone, except maybe text messaging. So it's got to be done well. Thanks for the thoughtful reply, though.

Sure. I was being a linguistic prescriptivist for the sake of pedantry (and because the OP's question seemed pretty pedantic to being with).

I think anyone who's looked into Woz at all would see the same thing Giz sees - a guy who just loves tech and likes to play with new toys. Woz has said in the past that he carries an iPhone. He also expressed admiration for the Palm Pre. Because it was cool. He's not an agent provocateur of Google. It's silly to think…

Technically that isn't what it means to beg the question (a term from logic meaning to assume the truth of a proposition without evidence, literally to "beg" the listener to accept the proposition before the work is done to support it). I think you meant to say "raises the question."

Several questions, since I'm due for an upgrade in December.

Android fanboys... Apple fanboys... you all irritate me.

Like pfk3 says above, though, 80% of wine is drunk within 24 hours. So this is fine for the vast majority of people and wines. I'd also be willing to bet "cheap $10 bottles of wine" make up a considerable share of the market.* So, again, wine snobs can buy whatever they like, but considering the cost savings for…

Doesn't matter to me as long as the label is awesome. Everyone knows that's how you pick a good wine.

That's a good point. A friend of mine was talking about the advances made in bottle caps, and how they're actually better at sealing in wine and allowing micro-oxygenation at controlled rates, as well as being more sterile and with a lower failure rate. Unfortunately no one will buy wine with a metal cap because it's…

I read a review on wine.woot.com - Woot! of all places - where someone said that a wine tasted of "moist earth from under the bush." Seriously. I understand an earthy taste. I don't understand how moist earth from under the bush is different from moist earth under the patio. I asked, but got no response. I'm just not…

I haven't had a home phone since I was 18 and moved out for the first time. A pity, this is cool. Maybe some day I'll need a dedicated line that I'm happy to leave somewhere when I go, but that time is not now.

Best Black Friday I ever had: my first year after I got out of the retail game in my teens. My girlfriend and I got off a night shift at 7am and were sitting at home and said, "You wanna go to the mall?" "For what?" she asked. "Coffee."

I have no idea, but I'm guessing that if it penetrates walls then newspaper won't really be a problem... but who knows? Maybe your wifi router will interfere with reception.

Weird. I got an email from Google Checkout like ten minutes ago that was really suspicious. Totally unrelated, but oddly synchronous.

Not if everything switches to micro and mini usb! Then you'll only need two cables... or one cable and one adapter.

The CloudFTP contains a li-ion battery to power external devices... in the video they show him accessing a portable hard drive via an iPad.

I don't think you understand my position. All I asked in my first post was that you support your argument rationally. I poked holes in your argument because it was shoddy. I told hoocli that I think the statistics are muddled, and that there's plenty of evidence to support both sides. To me that suggests we're either…

Looks like Paypal... a lot like Paypal.

Yeah! Just think if they take graphene and nanotubes and hydrogen metal and stick them together it will be the coolest thing since wearing a sport coat with blue jeans. I don't know what it will do, but it will do it really, really fast.
