Come on, it's Colin Mochrie pranking you guys.

Except for the fact their speed sucks, and may actually not be usable for live streaming most times...

They need to account for the total bandwith being used, which means more money spent on equipment. You're helping out with your low usage, but not enough to compensate for all people who stream all day long. I think as data speeds go up, with an unlimited plan more users will consume more bandwith, as opposed to…

Not really minimalist - just buy $7 beach socks at walmart and you're good to go.

I would totally pretend to ask siri (or even better, a non-apple phone app) to open the door for me.

Got a 250 gb w/ kinect for $300 around thanksgiving, from Amazon, so keep an eye out. Sometimes you need to buy the 4gb and get the HD separate, but it may be worth it.

Nice one. My awesome local library has audio books loaded on mp3 players, and subscriptions to media mall, safari books online, freetunes, and a few others. I actually get most of my ebooks from them: [schaumburglibrary.org] . I only check out actual books when an ebook isn't readily available.

Duct tape.

I have things like insurance information and ids in a onenote notebook in skydrive, which is accessible directly in my windows phone. For health info, a free healthvault account and the associated app is all you need. Some health insurance companies and doctors may even update information for you directly. You can…

Not for accidental damage, unless you pay for the insurance.

Here, I fixed your problem: [www.etsy.com] - as for your comment, I can carry hundreds of books on my cargo shorts pocket - try doing that with a real book.

And that's why I paid the insurance - I can't tell for sure, but I believe 'someone' sat on my nook first edition.

I hope it includes a family-gold subscription. And a 300gb HD - 4gb is nothing.

Not just -to-kinect. Any of your messenger friends are reachable.

Actually its market grows at a faster rate than apple's. The big difference is you don't need apps for basic functionality. Reset your phone, add your accounts, and it's all there. Even Woz likes it.

Pathetic, no Windows Phone apps. At least aknowledge you're biased from the start.

Well, in their case, the white iPhone actually had issues due to light reflection. Not a problem on this case. It's just a matter of personal taste, that shouldn't be taken as an actual feature or issue. And like Spaceknight said, many people use cases anyway. I'm more disappointed in losing the mp3 functionality and…
