@DouchieSnacks: I got that much but it still didn’t seem very convincing. You think he could just get somebody to shoot up an American airport instead of going through some convoluted plan to have a guy shoot up a Russian airport with a planted undercover American agent so that the Russians would find the undercover…

All I know is that story didn’t make any sense whatsoever. There are some cool levels, to be sure, and fighting on American soil is thrilling. However, as soon as you think about why the Russians are invading or what the hell Shepherd had to do with any of this the whole thing falls to pieces. The first Modern Warfare…

Good post. I for one am really pumped for the Verizon iPhone, but that’s only because I’m really tied to the carrier and have a lot of friends on the network. If one is currently deciding between carriers, it’s good to have more specific information other than "AT&T Sucks and Verizon owns".

I’m down for this as long as they give the humans some kind of fighting chance. I rolled my eyes during Independence Day because it was basically humans getting their asses kicked for two hours then coming up with magical bullshit at the end to save the day. But then there’s also all those other million and one alien…

@Ricorich196: I’m blaming natural selection for this. In a few more centuries we’ll be goddamn bullet proof.

@dapper_otter: Oh yeah I tried that already. That’s what I meant about the email thing. I think Jesus misunderstood when we would be able to reserve he’s saying "If you are a Verizon Wireless customer, you can reserve one now from a special stockpile and get it on February 3". Everyone else seems to be saying that…

@dapper_otter: Could you link the page please? It would be a huge help :)

@geolemon: The only reason I ever left AT&T was because all my friends were on Verizon and it saved me a lot of minutes. I don't really remember the number of dropped calls being any higher or even my monthly bill being that out of line. Sometimes I think people just hate the basic fickleness of mobile technology and…

It says verizon customers can reserve one right now. Where do I go to do that? It's not showing up on the upgrade device list and all I can do right now is request more information through email, except I still haven't received an email from them.

Hey anyone know where you can go to reserve this thing or is that not available until February as well?

Dear god that’s not actually his mug shot is it? I don’t know how anyone could smile after doing something so terrible. Especially considering he killed a nine year old girl.

@Ceric Neesh: Really? I had heard about other video chat apps for android but I had no idea skype supported video chat on the platform already. That’s awesome. Now if they could just get it on my kinect I’d be one extremely happy guy.

Man, I just hope Skype gets better and starts supporting video chat on multiple mobile platforms. This whole concept that you’re only able to video chat with people who use the same kind of phone as you is just stupid.

Yeah sorry, but I'm not feeling your enthusiasm.

I’m sorry but I don’t really feel older people are necessarily wiser. True, some people learn from their experiences and look back at their lives with a measure of understanding but most people only complain about how much has changed and maintain the same world view they had when they were young. I’d say my…

@muppethead: Well even though Verizon loves both Giz and Apple it knows that it’s like going to be like sooo awkward if they’re in the same room together. Like it’s like really complicated between those two and I’m not going to ya know completely say what happened because Apple’s like my best friend and everything and…

Yeah but what if they put iPhones on a different cycle for Verizon. Like the new iPhone would get announced around the summer every year but it wouldn’t come to Verizon until the winter. I could be waiting a year! Either way you’re always going to get screwed when it comes to this kind of technology. It’s either wait…

I’m kind of a little Arthur’d out. There have simply been so many adaptations within my lifetime that I’ve grown tired of the story. It would be nice if they simply adapted some of the more recent fantasy out there like HBO is doing. Arthur is classic stuff, don’t get me wrong, but I’m getting tired of the mainstream…

@das7002: Half of those issues you described are present on several android phones out there so it’s not like that operating system equals a wonderfully liberated phone. The other half of the problems are just ludicrous. The supreme court ruled this year that you can hack and jailbreak your phone all you want, just…

"the original Apple fanboys, not the unbearable new fanboys—very sad"
