@eipxen: It's called hyperbole, but apparently that's way too complicated for you. I was using an extreme example to illustrate a point. Seriously, how are you getting this out of what I wrote? I've admitted when I've been incorrect many times as a commenter on here. This, however, is not one of those times.

@Reginald2: Sure I can, she'll be in England for 3 weeks with her fiancee. She'll get over it :P

I'd like to see a study done on the amount of time the average mother can drag out a phone conversation about nothing. My mom called me the other day to ask if I'd sold our extra Sounders tickets yet. 20 minutes later, realizing I was in a conversation about British tea, I hung up.

I'd much prefer it to just say "Caution, you are being approached by both a smug and terrible driver. Proceed at your own risk."

@Almightywhacko: See, that's the genius in the design and marketing of the Prius though... they know that their drivers will probably never be going fast enough to kill anyone anyway.

@TactakillChewy: I think it's simpler than that. Think about the whole area code thing. I'm from "the 253". If I were enough of a bro to say that out loud, I (like most people) would probably say two-five-three rather than two-hundred and fifty-three. I'm guessing his "name" is meant to be the same. Eight-five, rather…

Reason the NFL doesn't want their players tweeting during games: fans might realize it takes players like Ochocinco more time to type out a tweet than it does to make 10 grand.

@NorwoodIsMyHero: Houuuuuuuuushhhhhhh. Go seahawks.

@beanperry: Fair enough. For *most* people though, iTunes is perfectly fine.

@beanperry: And that's your opinion, but for millions of people/iDevice users who don't need another player other than iTunes , it makes perfect sense. Also, since when can other media players not handle mp3 and mp4 files?

@robot-shmobot: See that probably wouldn't bug me then. I think it'd just be really frustrating to be an Android user, know there's a way better OS version out there, and not be able to upgrade. It's the old dangling carrot trick.

@Limbero: Agreed. Another dumb question... what exactly is rooting? Is that the Android equivalent of a jailbreak?

@JakeWharton: Didn't mean to hate on Android btw, the iPhone comment was meant more as a joke. I think the competition from Android is actually forcing Apple to compete. For a while, their only real competition was RIM... who, as we've seen, have been failing left and right lately. Google entering the market was the…

@beanperry: Oh I'm not saying there aren't loads of people who do exactly that... but the iTunes store is also the biggest online music store in terms of traffic and paid downloads, as far as I know.

@robot-shmobot: I've just heard people complaining that most of it is obnoxious and unnecessary. I mean I understand why they think it would be cool, but it seems like people should have the option to easily just turn it off. Again, though, I don't know much about Android other than the phones I've set up at work to…

Someone should tell that to this lady.

@JakeWharton: Firstly, "shit" was used in that case as slang for "stuff", no need to get all snarky.

@robot-shmobot: Sorry about the flamethrower, I just wanted to toot my own trombone. Hiiiiiiiyo. Kidding.

@lordargent: Fair enough. Good answer.

@Johann Schmidt: You mean like people who rent a movie, like it a lot and then buy it? Or video games? Or TV shows? Or, hell, even cars.
