  1. Re:I have a smartphone, who cares on Apple Quietly Releases New iPods · · Score: 1

    As i said no contract. I pay 50 dollars a month for everything unlimited. Even if you bought the phone, paid for 1 month and let it run out and bought a memory stick, its still cheaper than an I-Pod.

    Do people still buy these things? And 300 dollars is outrageous. My phone was 80 dollars, no contract. A 32gb microsd is 20 dollars. So 100 dollars total for a device that can outperform this I-Pod touch in everything, even media playing thanks to winamp and winamp remote.

    Of course they would be interested, and of course they would want a huge pile of money. None of these things have to do with you knowing about it. The military and NASA have been interested in a plethora of things that while they were interested in, they also made sure you were not. Not saying thats what they will do in this case, but they have a very good track record of keeping things hidden from the public.

    Nothing at all like that. Thats moving WAY too fast, and is WAAAAAAY too low. The beach was also deserted both ways for a long while except for the couple of homeless people sleeping in a lifeguard tower. Also i watched whatever this was come in from the north in a perfectly straight line. It looked EXACTLY like a satellite does till it started going nuts. I dont know if you have ever spotted a satellite but they look almost like stars but moving. I appreciate the suggestion, as i would like to know what the fuck i saw.

    Eyewitness accounts arent data? Ok. Eyewitness accounts seem to hold up pretty well in courts of laws. Also im not asking you to believe or disbelieve anything. Im not claiming it was an alien. It was an unidentified flying object.

    Definitely not a remote control toy. This was at night, at the beach. There was no one around, i have seen many planes fly in and out from here and wasnt that wasnt even right direction for that. When i first saw it it looked exactly like a satellite, which is what i thought it was, until it started moving in very unsatelliteish ways.

    I never said it was aliens. But it was definitely something beyond the scope of conventional aircraft that are normally seen. And seemed to be well beyond the operating envelope of current aircraft

    Not always true. Most sightings dont have blinking lights. I saw something once, looked like a satellite zipping by, then stopped and started doing zig zags, figure 8s, circles, box shapes and moved in other unsatelliteish ways for about 20-30 minutes before it took off. The person i was with also saw whatever it was and watched it with me for the same amount of time. Was definately not a plane, as i have seen many many planes and am familiar with. We looked on her phone as she had a app that told us the names of all the stars and satellites, something which we used to track satellites in the past. Was not on there either. The best i could come up with was a weather balloon, but that doesnt fit with the movements of w.e this was.

    What about the U.K, they banned the shit out of guns but the violent crime rate there is astronomical. Should they take away anything that can be used as a weapon? Maybe we should all wear big padded gloves with our hands handcuffed behind our backs so we cant hurt each other!

    Steam games are pirated all the time. It has nothing to do with being a walled garden it has to do with usability. If the pirated and non-pirated version are the same thing, or roughly the same thing, people will pirate it, as long as its not too hard to. Thats why even people who pirate xbox games usually have 2 xboxes, so they can legally purchase and play online centered games, which while possible to pirate, provide a vastly different experience than their pirated counterparts.

    As opposed to our weird desire to have a shitload of lights everywhere? Because every lamp everyone has in their house is needed right? And you live in a perfectly eco friendly box made from recycled materials with a single LED driven by wind power.
