I think it would be pretty annoying to open the cover on my case all the time for something I used as often as my iPhone. Right now, my phone is naked. My boss just ordered me a Gelaskin hard cover with a cool piece of art on it though. I figure I will try it out for awhile and see how I like it. I really prefer…

And what is this case called/who makes it?

Exactly what I was wondering! Where I live, Subaru Outback IS the iPhone of cars. Everyone drives one, and those who don't want one.

So Subaru is a knockoff brand now? Seriously?? Of what? Where I live, Outbacks are probably the most common car. Outdoors enthusiasts love them, and I've rarely heard anyone complain about Subarus at ALL.

You read it wrong. "If we put cups UPWARD, dirt will easily get into them." Upward, meaning right side up not upside down. Still, this seems to be a solution to a problem no one except the MOST OCD among us would care about. ;)

I would like to learn a new language. I took Spanish classes throughout my schooling, and therefore have SOME amount of foundation there. I also have an interest in learning French (though no experience). Would you recommend starting with something that I am familiar with (Spanish), or is it wiser to start with a…

I'm sorry, but REAL musicians will ALWAYS be able to make money by actually working for it. And by that I mean touring, playing shows, selling merch. Why should we expect that musicians get paid millions just for recording a song ONCE and putting it out there for people to listen to? If the Rolling Stones need some…

He doesn't bounce.

Very true. You still need music files on your local computer. But with Spotify you have to ability to sync your local tracks to all your devices and they're treated the same as the streaming songs. Nothing is perfect, that's for sure. But for me, Spotify is the closest right now. They at least get the point—No one…

Well, actually I do buy LPs too. That's the only way I will purchase physical music though (aside from Spotify). I hate CDs, and I refuse to BUY mp3s. But, I feel ya on the vinyl.

That's true. Another reason why if Apply decided to implement streaming in iTunes they'd probably destroy the competition. It would definitely be cleaner.

Exactly! I can't think of the last time I used iTunes for anything other than maybe backing up my iPhone (which is rare now since I use iCloud). Apple needs to get with the program and incorporate a streaming service into iTunes that can access the entire iTunes catalog. Then they'd actually have a legup on the…

True, to a degree. I pay because I want it on my iPhone. I don't mind paying either. It makes me feel like I'm at least giving SOME money to artists I like...because I will NEVER pay for an mp3

It's a whole lot better than what I was paying for music before...NOTHING. Spotify is adapting to what music listeners WANT and giving us an option to actually PAY something for the music. It's not about convenience, it's about reading the writing on the wall and trying to stay relevant. I would certainly still pay to…

Oh, you definitely still need local files with Spotify. But you DON'T need iTunes. I have all the Beatles in my Spotify as well others that aren't available streaming. But I have it all set to sync to my iPhone as well so that I can get all those songs on all my devices whether they're streamable or not! Spotify gives…

Still doesn't do shit to get me off of Spotify. Paid streaming is where it's at, iTunes.

Analog/vinyl is the best way to listen to recorded music. It's the only TRUE "lossless" format. That being said, who the hell cares?

I dunno... I laughed

It must say "mini" no? It doesn't really look like mini, I agree, but that's all that would make sense to be right there I think. That or Nintendo.

No one is FORCING coal miners to work in coal mines, but there are still OSHA regulations and restrictions preventing them from getting the black lung. No one is FORCING people to become construction workers and build buildings, but there are still regulations in place preventing them from dying or being severely…
