  1. Re:Fun prank of the week! on US Carriers Finally Doing Something About Cellphone Theft · · Score: 2

    This being true but you can always cancel your contract. Its the one loophole. Report phone as stolen tell the provider you refuse to take the cheap ass replacement phone and refuse to pay full price for a replacement. once contract is void goto another provider get the deal they have in place. However if its a fancy dancy high end phone you wont get a discount so it is what it is.

    The mobile phone companies would also be forced to provide a better service because there was another alternative available when your mobile.

    I doubt this i see them just making it easier to make calls off wifi and claiming its a cool new feature.

    Yeah, because nobody would be able to tell that the trivial amounts of small copyright usage were inconsequential, nor would a judge decide somebody is acting in contempt of court if you managed to even do this.

    Ive ran into this several times. I often have friends and family IMing me to find them what they failed to find in searches (they also use google.)

  24. Re:What about phones? on The Death of Booting Up · · Score: 1
    My iphone 3gs takes about 2-5 minutes to boot up. I would time it but my lock/power button is broken and apple refuses to fix it even though there is no damage to the phone (note this is the 3rd one ive had) the 1st one worked like a champ for a year i droped the bugger from 10ft in the air and it still worked. It finally met its doom when it fell out of my front shirt pocket into a leachate tank. The 2nd one i got worked fine for about a month till it fell the height of one step. Yes one step so 6" max the home button stopped working and any iphone user knows with out that button its useless. This one i have no idea how it broke its never been dropped or mishandled its just stayed in my pocket. Only thing i can think is while working in the 105F weather with 85-90% humidity that it may have gotten wet. Cause now it randomly tells me the accessory i have attached (with nothing attached) is not compatible and the lock/power button doesnt work. I didnt even mention the fact it claims non compatible accessory issue and the apple employe didnt even look to see for water damage he just said sir we already gave you the free replacement last time. You need to dish out $$$$ if you want this issue fixed. Needless to say i hope my battery never dies.

    Dont even get me started on application load times either if i go from my contact lists to my txt messaging it takes a good 10 seconds to switch apps. I was told this was because i restored my phone when i got a new one. I dont see how this should be an issue but it seems to be one but that's a whole different bag of beans.
