  1. They can merely write it off on next years taxes...

    So the iPhone 7 ALSO has an explosive hidden feature?

    Apple told me that Ballmer was not throwing the chairs right.

    It's a matter of quality experience over quantity.

  6. It's not the toilet I am worried about. It's the guy with a Samsung Top Loading Washer under his coat I'd be more concerned about.

    The problem is they don't make 'em like they used to.

    You see, older model Adult Replacement Units (sometimes called children), were made in the good old US of A, and were more durable thanks to the efforts of hard working, patriotic, flag waving union workers. These models were able to tolerate lower levels of caution without voiding the warranty. The new models being constructed today are all imported, cheaply made and have limited warranties. Greater caution is required with these updated units. It's comparable to mobile phones: old brick phones were nearly indestructible, nowadays, newfangled smarty-pants phones need helmets to protect there sensitive innards.

    Like I said, the new models just aren't as good as they used to be. ;)

     

  8. Second hand smoke has not been proven to be harmful outside the state of California, or while flying over a "Red" state.

  9. Such a world would be... business as usual:

    They would create an entire new government entity: Federal Aviation Fire Administration or FAFA; to define the exact definition of a federal fire, it's acceptable heat limits for a given altitude, create the Approved Combustible Items List (ACIL), nominate a new cabinet level position, and double the budget for the FAA to allow for US Phone Marshals to be on all flights.

  10. Does Samuel Jackson use a Note 7?

  11. I had a flash back of Indiana Jones throwing a poor Nazi out of a blimp... saying "No ticket!"

    Just replace with "He had a Note 7"

    If Steve Ballmer were Samsung CEO, he would have personally ripped each and every airline seat out and thrown every last one of them at the customer with the smoking phone.

    I was referring to a method that does not utilize iTunes as Grishnakh had said in the post above "...and you won't be restricted to Apple's walled garden and be forced to use the abomination that is iTunes."

    On an Android device you can copy any file type supported by the phone directly to a folder of your choice on the device.

    Using a USB cable to mount the android file system like a flash drive and manage your media files as one would on a traditional PC.

    Apple blocks access to the phones file system. That is what I was comparing.

    I was hoping for the code for those cool new looking notifications on the iPhone lock screen... but I guess PHP or OpenSSL could suffice...

    and must do all IT work remotely between pillaging and looting and posting the latest plank walking video online.

  22. So true!

    As a parent I wish to take pics and video of the kids doing all manner of cute things - to show others and remember later. But, it does change the experience as it is happening. I make a point to leave the phone out of the equation and just *be there, in the moment.

    Then, naturally I miss something "really funny" and wish I had recorded it! LOL.

  23. I suppose it really depends on if the use of the technology:

    Social media - yes, cut back.
    Job mandated (if you do not reply, expect a pink slip or a loss of clients) - a little more complicated.

  24. The white glowing extrovert with a golden halo on my right shoulder told me to turn off the phone for a while. My fingers made it to the power button...

    The red tailed introverted devil on the left sent me a candy crush request.

    My decision became considerably easier.

    Sigh... That little devil is a crafty one..

  25. touche!

    Truer words have never been spoken (or displayed on screen I suppose in this case).
