i thought they all got rid of peanuts

Blackberry is still # 1 in market share

it'd might be worth $400 if Ultimate Ears was still Ultimate Ears

wow... that's more pixels than the iPad 3's retina display

"I don't see how a neural prosthetic/augmentation would be any different from an artificial heart..."

Assuming the person remains the same person, I'd still call it a tool the same way an artificial heart or limb is a tool but doesn't redefine that person. If you want to say he becomes a different person after replacing parts of the brain, then I don't know what I'd call it

I still see it as just a tool, even if it is one that's omnipresent in some people's lives. We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one. I agree with you that phones have changed the way people live but we've all seen those ridiculous commercials (especially the Motorola ads). Transcendent is the image they…

I'd still call that a tool but then we're getting into Ghost in the Shell territory and that's a whole other discussion

Oh, ok... I see what you were saying. Yes, phones are tools which we can call exobrains but then why don't we put the same label on our computers?

You could say the same of any new technology. Someone probably said the same thing about the nail gun compared to the hammer or the car compared to the bicycle.

ok... I'll revise the count to six

Sounds like a great phone. Maybe you should go get one and be happy that you got a phone that's right for you

The good thing is the phone holy wars will be fought on internet forums and blog comments

You haven't met too many Windows Phone fanboys because there are only five of them

Your phone is not an exobrain. Like all technology before it, your phone is a tool that makes accomplishing certain tasks easier. It is no more an extension of you than your hammer or your car is. Fanboys are the ones that buy into the advertising telling them that owning the product will make them something more…

You bought your phone because it is the best phone for you. For someone else, more powerful means less battery life, more durable means uglier, open ecosystem means less secure, more customizable means overly complex, larger screen means less ergonomic, and removable storage means unnecessary bulk

"Android users: are you tired of your iPhone toting friends using Instagram as their go-to 'You don't have this app on Android so nany-nany poo-poo' argument?"

you must be tripping even harder w/ that retina display

Do you really want to make people drunker while they're pissing in your bathroom?

So there is a pump? At first glance, it just looked like a series of heat pipes
