At the risk of being suspended/banned...

You reserve the right to not read my entire comment and only pick out the parts that you can try to have issue with. You also reserve the right to pass it over if you don't like it.

While your accomplishments are impressive, you (and my fiancee) are the exception rather than the rule. I believe I am also an exception to that general rule as I am a nerdy, bodybuilding athlete that is an I.T. professional.

This issue has two sides:

As much as I can't stand iAnything, your argument holds much weight.

The table shown above isn't the Quadrant Standard benchmark program. They are using Smartbench. I use QS personally. I think the scales that are used are completely different.

Akimbo Operating Systems. Noobs will cry that they're overly powerful and unbalanced. They will call for Apple to nerf them.

Yeah.... Reminds me of myself.

This may sound cold but for most of those applications, if you are downloading them, you deserve what's coming to you.

From my brain through your fingers!

$1.25 after the cap? That sounds pretty damned good compared to what we're looking at coming here in the states. Sprint would beat that. T-Mobile would beat that but AT&T and Verizon (soon) will not be able to touch that deal.

I, too, am in this boat. Twitter was almost a good idea. The masses made it a terrible idea.

It's not needed until you're in the back of the ambulance and time is critical to your survival.

Your rant is well-taken.

I bought an unlocked foreign mobile phone from a dude after losing my precious Nokia back in 2005. I spoke to him and could immediately hear in his voice that he was a college nerd that got no vagina so I didn't worry much - but brought my best friend with me since it was a nighttime transaction.

I think the GTA: San Andreas attempted to cover that area.

No. You aren't.

The first High-Tech Lockout.

No. The forthcoming E180,000OrMySonGoesToAuburn will have that feature.

If I had a weird dude with THAT mustache staring at me, I would die from being freaked the fuck out.
