@badplaid: it's very simple. Unlike CPU usage, which takes battery the more you use it, RAM takes the same amount of memory whether you have actual data in it or all 000s or random data. In an attempt to provide better performance, the Android system loads the apps it thinks you will use into memory (I have NO IDEA…

Almost all Sprint's crapware has settings which you can disable their updates entirely. Yes, it's annoying, but it's easy enough to root the phone and uninstall them.

@NaraVara: I expect it to "just work."

@Modred189: Yay physics!

@Dreamwriter: If the top is his totem, why doesn't he wait to see if it falls or not in the last scene?

@NaraVara: Not on my wife's mac. It keeps bouncing and bouncing like an unmedicated 6-year-old.

@Jed: I direct your attention to Sun Tzu's The Art of War, Chapter 6, Weak Points and Strong. School thyself.

@Wilson: Yes, there are rational people with "specific grievances" with the US. Those aren't the ones we're worried about. It's the ones that use "Death to America" as a casual greeting or refer to America as "the Great Satan" that I'm a little more concerned with.

@Bustedknuckles: But wait, sunshine CAUSES cancer...

@Andre Kibbe: that's far too hard for the muggles.

@wjglenn: so you type in your query without autocomplete and press enter, then tab to the link you want and that's faster than typing the first couple letters, tab, then right arrow?

@NaraVara: OH I HATE THAT FUCKING BOUNCING. JUST TURN ORANGE LIKE XP AND QUIT MOVING AROUND IN MY PERIPHERAL VISION.

@bjaxon: I got interrupted once by clippy. Once. I figured out how to turn him off. I really can't grasp why people wouldn't assume they can configure that sort of thing and take the time to figure it out. I mean, Google existed, even back then.

@LOL! bazookafox!: Anyone with three brain cells to rub together immediately disabled Clippy as soon as they installed Office. And the fucking dog in XP search.

Orly + monkey = Octopup!

@uncle_jojo: I think the resolution *is* what the iphone 3gs was.

@siwex80: Um, "openness naivety[sic]?" Security is about the strength of your encryption, not the openness or otherwise of your platform. BBM can encrypt everything because everything (sending & recieving) goes through them.

@OCEntertainment: How long have you had google voice? I've had it over a year now, and after 2-3 calls from the same person, it seems to get MUCH better. It almost letter-transcribes my wife now.

@MaQ: DOES NOT COMPUTE.

@TheCrudMan: You gotta admit, it gotcha. :)
