So I'm holding back on purchasing one for about the next week or so -- based on Apple's announcements on Monday. -- But I did get to hold a Pre in my hand at the Sprint store -- I have to tell you that the crispness of the screen is incredible -- at first I thought it was a "stupid plastic sample" of the phone with a "photo sticker" representing the screen -- and then the image moved. AMAZING! -- my very next thought was... wow -- there are a lot of fingerprints on this screen and can the screen be scratched??
Does anyone know what the screen/glass is made of? I know Movado utilizes a sapphire crystal for their watch faces which are truly scratch resistant. I suspect that that beautiful Pre screen image would be considerably disappointing with a big ol' scratch in it. Supposedly iPhone uses a synthetic sapphire crystal on it's screen.
You are definitely correct that we all will die some day. I suppose the concern that I have is the drug industry promoting products that can actually make that happen faster.
Regarding oxygen -- we breathe air -- which contains oxygen. Man was the one who decided to extract it from air and make it stand on it's own. Your points are as valid as mine -- these man made things ARE harmful to us -- the question is will we or can we ever make something that isn't harmful -- so that it's truly a benefit (as we so famously advertise medicine to be.)
And that's the same silly thinking that allows the drug companies to continue to produce and market and sell massive amounts of medications with more side affects than benefits. After all -- they're just side affects!!!
Come on!

Perhaps we could just call it 6gS and add video capabilities!?
What you need is a Ricola.

Wow -- really?? Religion outlawed? And you've written your congressman how many times?
