  9. Re:iPhone 4S? on Apple Sued By State Farm Over Alleged iPhone Fire (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I still use it today. I got it for free from someone who didn't want it anymore. Its battery life and speed are slow, but work for basic stuff.

    Friendster! ;)

  11. I prefer watching at my own pace. I have health issues. I can't sit and watch the whole thing in one sitting. I have to take (time out/break)s to stretch, move, (pe/urinat)e, etc. Also, I like to be in the control!

  14. Millenials only and a missing link? on Millennials Only Have a 5 To 6 Second Attention Span For Ads (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    I'm Gen-X. I also have a very short span and impatient for many things like ads.

    Also, this /. story is missing a link to the story. :P

  15. ... I got Office 2007 Pro. from an estate sale almost a couple months ago. Before it and in the past, I was still using the very old 2K SR3 and 2003 from others who didn't use them anymore. They worked fine for my basic needs (Word and Excel) with their 2007 converter packs and updates. I also use the updated LibreOffice when needed too which is rare.

    I hate the online cloud stuff especially when my Internet isn't reliable. Frak the online clouds and services. I still prefer to do stuff offline and locally!

    But can I run PhotoShop, Crysis 1, DOOM 4, TurboTax, iTunes, etc.? :P

  20. I was born without a thumb and with a tiny annoying useless thumb (couldn't move it due to lack of bones and muscles -- it was removed in 1984) as parts of my disabilities. Almost a decade later, I got a surgery to rotate my right hand's left non-thumb finger 90 degrees into a thumb. It was a success. I can use it for writing better, holding light cups, etc. However, it is not very strong. I still use my left untouched hand for heavier and stronger stuff. I didn't want to make a thumb for that hand for that reason. :)

  21. Are you missing somethig? ;)

  22. Well, I would be impressed if you use both. I did with SIMless Samsung Galaxy S6 edge and iPhone 6S used for QA testings. ;)
