Jailbreaking your phone and installing SBSettings would do that. That's the prime reason I jailbreak. It's a drop down from the status bar, available even from the lock screen, and toggles data, airplane, 3G, Bluetooth, Wifi, SMS alerts, brightness, and a whole lot of other things that you can download from Cydia. …

I think I would use Siri, just for the location reminder services. It's a common occurrence for me to be at home, and I think of something that I want to get at the store. Currently, I don't do anything about it, because even if I find paper to write it down, that doesn't mean I'll take that paper with me when I go…

I had a Star Wars handheld game. I thought it was going to be like a gameboy, but was sadly disappointed. You just moved your x-wing back and forth, missing the TIE fighters that came at you in three lines. I think I played it for a few days, and then went back to my Legos.

Current Car: 2004 Lancer OZ-Ralley

That was my favorite show growing up. +1

I grew up in Iowa. The lowest temperature it ever got was -40 degrees, but with a -70 windchill. However, once it gets past -5 degrees, it's just cold. I know that you have less and less exposure time the lower it goes, but it feels the same. Cold.

I believe my first was a Macintosh Centris, bought by my dad in 1994 to be compatible with his work computer. I really didn't like it. At the time, I was all about the games, and games on a macintosh were 4x as expensive as the PC ones. I do remember getting Dark Forces and X-wing vs Tie Fighter two consecutive…

I noticed something interesting about the video they showed at the end, the iPhone 4S commercial. I don't know if anyone else noticed this, or even watched the whole video through, but the background music sounds like Adele's "Rolling in the Deep". Like, exactly like it. I wonder....

I'm annoyed at AT&T right now. When I bought my 3G in March 2010 (I know, poor planning), my upgrade date was 8/13/11. 8/13 came, and I was given full upgrade status, but I obviously wanted to wait for the new iPhone. On 8/30, I finally changed my data plan from unlimited to 200 MB/month. Soon after, I noticed…

It's true that there are very obvious differences between the US and China. My parents are currently in China for a 3-yr work assignment, and it's a whole 'nother ballgame there. A few days ago there was an accident in front of their apartment: two men in a stolen car had been chased down by the police. The police…

Good point. My wording could have been better as well. :) Let's see, not 'propose', but 'doesn't mind'? That might be best.

Ooh, double negative. I had to work that out in my mind so it would make sense. Oppose not killing = propose killing. There we go.

I completely concur.

I have an aunt who lives in Vegas. Once you get out of the strip area, the rest of the city is just a normal city. She and her husband have raised five kids there and really like it.

Judging by the technology listed in the books (ie, the Expanded Universe [and I could be wrong, since it's been more than ten years since I read the books]), a lightsaber had a force-emitting crystal that kept the blade at a finite length. Thus, a lightsaber wouldn't shoot out at an infinite length, which would…

I would rework the Kashyyyk scene so that it actually features a fight in the tops of the trees, such as shown in KOTOR and the Zahn books. Get rid of all the beach scenes.

If your phone can't function with the coverage in your area, you can actually call the Better Business Bureau to file a complaint and get out of your contract. I had two coworkers do this with Sprint (the 3G coverage was practically non-existent). They both got out and went with AT&T for the iPhone 4. :)

Not to be confused with River City, birthplace of The Music Man

I work in Logan, and watched the life flight helicopter roar by overhead. This morning, I watched the local station interview people who had been involved in the rescue. They all mentioned how very, very hot the car had been, but knew that rescue workers would be too late to help the motorcyclist. The man in the…

Netflix has done that a few times. Last Saturday, Seasons 1 and 7 were unavailable for streaming (I was in the middle of 7). On Sunday they put them back up.
