While i don't think that it was long or very challenging, i think claptrap was the most amusing story line wise, though the Hyperion dude was just kinda annoying. General Knoxx had the longest and most in-depth story, and Ned's was just kinda a side story that was good, but not amazing. Moxxi was just kinda a death…

If the products my friends and co-workers own are any indication, yes. Heck even my old classic ipod likes to go on the fritz from time to time and i have to wipe it out and reset it, plus its on its second battery.

Hmm thanks for the tip, i think i might have to give this a try when i get home.

Do you happen to know how well this would work on a system with multi-monitors?

Oh man i loved trying out all those blinds, and trying to find something that wouldn't nearly crash my computer because of all the skin layers. Good times...

You would be surprised, for a program that hasn't really released many hotfixes for bugs it is virtually bug free. And i only use the word virtually because i don't think i could use a word like literally, in the several years that I've been using the product i haven't run into a single problem.

Not that id knock people actually spending money on good programs, and companies like stardock deserve getting paid for their work. But at the very least try out the free version of fences first if you don't think you would like it, im willing to bet after a week or two of using it you will be more than willing to…

Good lord i take a week off, vacationing in nice warm weather, and come back to this. Maybe ill stalk the RSS feed for info, but i feel like this is where we part ways. You would think that Gawker would understand what this would do to its userbase.

That is both funny an genius, bet it saved tons of man hours trying to clean up the bulk of it.

If you trap the data coming off the phone you can watch what it actually passes, and all it passes is the actual data and a GUID that will tell the server how to contact the phone. They do studies on this stuff all the time.

Quit poking holes in the trolls bubbles. They like to ignore the fact that both companies make the data transmission anonymous and so the only data that they actually get from the phone is the voice data.

And this is why every single program i write starts with "bool skynet = false" in the manager class.

No the amount of processing power that this requires is quite amazing. But the data that is passed to Google is completely anonymous other than an GUID that will be used to pass data back to your phone.

You seem to be under the impression that in order to display ads that the companies need to mine your internet activity for information.

Err you know they were using these things way before cellphones came out... like early world war two?

Just dont go dumping things onto the tubes though, they might get clogged.

Just what we need, an easier way to sleep in.

In app ad blockers just stop the display, so it is still trying over and over to get that ad to display, if anything it might cause more battery drain if it keeps trying to get the data it wants.

Because they couldn't get their software working on iOS so the status of their apps are unknown. *

Err no its not lazy programming, they were designed this way in order to mine for data. I think the word that fits it better is immoral.
