I agree; It is the marketing exec's job to sell stuff. My joke wasn't aimed at the execs. I was poking fun at how 20-somethings often complain about how well or poorly their little cultural niche is portrayed.

I'm not trying to be a smart ass, but you don't need to "get" how I use my phone. I get it and that's enough. I'm a visual person, so I like the idea of changing my phone's interface (icons, widgets, custom tools) to suit my legitimate information needs (business/travel/vacation) and sometimes to satisfy more…

It's cute how people under 25 are so preoccupied that everyone else should "understand" and "get" what motivates their generation.

Yeah, I can understand that. You're a power user who intentionally backtracked a bit to a more simplified phone experience. Similarly, there's also something to be said for the user who doesn't even want to try to customize their phone in the first place. They didn't buy a pocket computer — they bought a phone. And…

Thank you for raising the point about arranging icons. One of my biggest peeves with IOS was that it automatically re-shuffles your icons when you move one. I could never have my icons all at the bottom or along the sides or....wherever I wanted. No, Apple know better than I did and moved the icons where it wanted…

I don't agree. Power users are rooting their phones and geeking out over the masturbatory monstrosities they can create with Tasker (currently there!). Changing an icon (individually or en masse) is a pretty basic task. After changing one's wallpaper, changing icons is in my top five of easy customizations an average…

When I had an iPhone, I loved it. It's no secret that Apple does a great job with user interface design. But when I moved to Android I came to love the level of customization available. It's a lot to digest at first, but worth learning in the end.

OK, but electricity (a necessity) and software (more or less a luxury) are two different things. My point is that I don't want to grow accustomed to thinking of some Android/IOS app as a necessary service like electricity or water. Ultimately, I get to decide what I'll pay for and how I'll pay for it. And for the…

I don't have a problem with any of these tips; my comment is more geared toward semantics. Isn't the term "hack" a little inaccurate for something like parenting? To me, hacking implies a more clinical approach to improve a process. Things like parenting, or even conversation, seem to me to be more of an art rather…

I understand that apps are free to explore different pricing models, but I really don't like the subscription model. If I like your app I'll gladly pay you a one-time purchase price to use it. You set the price (large or small) and I can decide if it's worth it for me.

I just started up my Kinja blog today so I could post a moon landing-themed home screen that I created. Fun! http://isuzufan.kinja.com/moondroid-home…

It would have been more accurate if, halfway through the ad, the announcer stopped and said "uh...hold on...what's this PSA about again? I forget."

That's called the single-wide effect.

d of saying "that most of us ignore", I think it's more accurate to say "that most of us urbanites and suburbanites ignore." The rest of the country doesn't tend to ignore these people, since they happen to be our brothers, cousins, aunts, etc.

Safe in Cloud is a pretty good password manager. Syncs across Windows, Android (not sure about Mac/IOS), and has a Chrome extension.

Good episode. I still like Alec Baldwin the best. Crying, I was.

"This is the kind of crap I expect from Virginia..." You spelled Boston wrong.

Man-child. This won't get results and everyone knows it. This is the adult equivalent of a tantrum. With indignant fists raised in Solidarity!, this guy has literally kicked and screamed himself into a position where his face is turning blue.

I like! The white walls are a nice touch. I'd probably buy the 2-door, however. :)

Nah, man. The Beetle and the Squareback aren't the same thing.
