Yep. I should blame time, but I'll just blame apple and grimace with a snarl.

:)

Anyone on Tmobile with an S3 or something decent looking to upgrade?

Your phone's coupling caps might be leaking... I'd say replace them with some orange caps, but you have an Apple and only red or green caps will do. :wink:

I'll be on the lookout, buddy. :)

Have you ever thought how much cell phones have changed all our lives?

Sometimes I wish that they would all just disappear.

What the hell did we do before cellphones?

Oh, that's right, we either waited until we were home or called from a phone booth.
Yes kids, there used to be things called phone booths that you plugged with a dime (later a quarter) and made a local call.
Fogetaboutit if you needed to call long distance.
There was always collect called which would be compared to roaming charges nowadays.

I still remember a friend getting one of those Motorola "brick" phones back in the mid 80's.
It cost something like $3.00 a minute but he was satisfied with being the first of our group to have a cell phone, even though there weren't many cells yet.

I digress, throw them all into the garbage!

Sorry, I have to go, there is somebody on my yard........

Truth be told, all so called smart phones suck. Buggy pieces of shit with lousy battery life, gltiches, bad programming, and built-in 'bugs' in the case of apple. Why do we still put up with dropped calls? Cause we're all idiots. We really shouldn't need to carry a god damned phone anyway. I'm guilty.

A phone should have a curly cord and a rotary dial...OK, I'll accept a push button, but it has to have the curly cord.

Back in the day, we had a pay phone in our house...

Apple is a little too French Guiana... I recently heard exerpted crazy talk from the "genius manual" that makes me think we should intervene and deprogram the bots.

They can't say "broken" Even if you bring your laptop in after dropping it 100" onto the pavement. System trouble is a "condition".. I think Jim Jones said it best when he said...

i don't think he ever said anything best.

Anybody remember when Apple was the little guy putting out computers at low prices for The People? That's been a while...

Now trending: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142 ... 69898.html

"In a stern rebuke to its electronic books sales strategy, a federal judge found Wednesday that Apple Inc. AAPL -0.04% colluded with five major U.S. publishers to artificially drive up the prices of e-books in the months ahead of the technology company entering the market in 2010."

Greed.

How many thousands of years has mankind gone without the need to voluntarily tether ourselves to one another ?

I have a cheap cellphone that I hardly ever use, just keep it on hand for "emergencies".

I'm actually considering making the leap to some sort of smartphone, probably an android.
I don't care for Apple's business model so it wont be an iphone.

I've just got a regular ass construction phone.
I can drop it off the second story and it still works.
The battery last about 7-8 days.
I can even talk on it under water.
I wouldn't have one at all if it wasn't crucial for my business.
Apple can sukit!

all because now you cant wait ten minutes to get home and call mommy.

aint it great - they figured out how to make you pay for stuff you dont need - that other stuff you already have and paid for already does.

I pay 8 bucks a month - and I consider that too much.

Its a scam - I prefer face to face human interaction. And real life experiences over digital ones.

I sat in the sun last evening, drank beer, and listened to the birds.....awesome.
it really is a journey, and you just cant farm out the battle wounds

Cell phones are evil, and I predict they will be the end of humanity.

Now, if someone could build up a tube-type cell phone, I might be interested.
Don't you boys know any NICE songs?
