@roberto.recine001: Well I run IT for a company that uses Apple products almost exclusively and bought me MobileMe for free so buying anything other than an iPhone would have been an absolutely absurd decision for me.

@resisx: I wasn't calling you a liar. It's a book, haha. It basically just gives many different ways that corporations use statistics like "1 million units sold!" and manipulate the data to sound much more impressive than it is. I'm only a marginal "fanboy" for Apple in that I'm IT manager for a company that uses

@resisx: Better phone? Ha. I'd like to see any legitimate tech blog that's rated this higher than the iPhone 4. And that "one million sold" is global, where this phone is for sale in WAY more countries. Looks like somebody has read "How To Lie With Statistics"!

Cue Fandroid and Apple fanboy war. Kind of silly, but for six bucks that's not too bad if that's your kind of thing. I'll stick to wasting my extra money on beer and cigarettes. Mmm mmm, tasty.

@jayrock423: Not from what I've seen/heard. But I mean, let's be serious, it's not like Apple is worried about some Samsung trampling on its market anyway.

Oh boy are they gonna feel stupid when they see the countless youtube videos of people showing how the Galaxy S has just as bad of a "death-grip" issue as the iPhone 4. There's a spot somewhere on the back that can be covered with a single finger and the signal drops off almost entirely. Oops.

@minibeardeath: Thank you for apparently being the only person who actually knows what actually happened. It's kind of silly regardless, but makes a lot more sense in context.

I work IT for a company that sells real hinges (among other door hardware products). Hit me up and I'll sell them to you for 10 times the price of this garbage and you can tell all the Giz readers that you now have the top of the line stuff. Hell, I'll even write "Apple" on it for you. :D

@barryshitpeas: Yeah. Or public terminals that can be used for free, while still generating revenue for the owners, etc. I mean I'm not sure what all it would be used for, but there are a variety of sensible applications for such a thing. Obviously, if they went to an ALL advertising-based OS, people would go nuts.

@barryshitpeas: Really? Cause I'm pretty sure if Apple started offering MacBooks for 300 bucks with the caveat that there was advertising, students would still be jumping on that left and right.

@ouf-ouf: Agreed. How dare advertising companies reach out to new markets! Next thing you know, we'll be seeing ads during television shows, or *gasp*... outside on signs!

@diamonddnice: Hopefully this works. Never tried to put in a video before:

@diamonddnice: I'm with you on that. How about this then: I believe Anderson Silva would fare much better with Mayweather in the boxing ring than Mayweather would in the octagon.

@diamonddnice: Have you ever seen Silva fight though? He's the most accurate striker in UFC history. He also has the best defense of any MMA fighter I've ever seen. In terms of weight, they'd obviously have to meet somewhere in the middle for it to make any sense.

@ss3: Seriously, he can't be human. The way he moves and has complete disregard for standard fighting techniques (like protecting your own face) just baffles me. He strikes with almost computer-precise accuracy, not to mention wrecking-ball power.

@ninjamurf: I thought it was pretty much dead even if you ask me (the Edgar/BJ fight). However, I see why the judges scored it the way they did, as I feel Edgar had more momentum-grabbing moments, whereas BJ was holding back a little, but still retaining consistency.

@Canon7D-Fanboy: Agreed on pretty much everything. I'd like to see some sort of rule put in place for people who use the word "fanboy" as a means of argument. I've seen people post comments containing several paragraphs, links, videos, et cetera, all backing up a point they were trying to make, only to have someone

@Canon7D-Fanboy: Actually, the A-Trak remix of "Stronger" is pretty sick.

@conebone69: I mean, don't get me wrong, they're freakin' sweet faucets. Just seems like there must be some other cool random household tech stuff like that to cover as well.

@gebinsk: Yeahhhhh, gizzers sounds wildly inappropriate. And messy.
