    I guess it's true that what you don't know can't hurt you.

    Okay, so, you're walking through your house, right? And you think, "I know, I think I'll make some pancakes", so you go to the kitchen. But what you don't know is there's an ANGRY GRIZZLY BEAR in your cupboard next to the flour.

    'cept for the fact my iPhone costs me half as much as any other comparable device (on a contract) with a fuckload more value in the plan.

    The rest of Apple's products, on the other hand...

    It is, actually! I have a feeling the software I used to convert it didn't compress it properly.

    The filesize of this app, as-is, is 2GB. I wonder how many images are on wikipedia.

    The filesize of the app is about 2GB. Pretty amazing!

    I'd be grabbing it right now if I didn't only have ~350MB of free space left on my iPhone...

    Would be a great app for iPod Touch users.

    I'm sure I could jerry-rig an espresso machine to my computer, and a tight skirt would merely be a matter of alteration to fit the dimensions...

    I'm in Australia. It's with Optus.

    If I had paid the ~$220 iPhone cost up front it'd only be about $39 a month, too.

  20. Re:vs iPhone on Palm Pre Reviewed · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, fuck you too.

    I couldn't care less about the brand, which I hate, nor the advertising, which I don't watch. The reason I got my iPhone was the intuitive web browsing interface and the fact that it was the only goddamn web-enabled phone that wouldn't cost me $120 a month for something ridiculous like 5mb-50mb of data a month (this one's ~$52 a month for 500MB). Lousy country.

    And looking at the competition, I made the right choice. My dad's got a blackberry storm. How does it go? Looks like a fish, moves like a fish, steers like a cow. It's absolutely terrible.

    I would have liked an android phone but there weren't any available within the country until just recently and even then the plans are worse. I'm not made of money.

    I totally agree, I have been using Vista 64bit for over a year now, it has crashed on me twice in that time. My XP machine is far less stable.

    Now, I'm not going to argue about Vista's stability, it's the speed and general bloat I have problems with, but seriously, what the fuck are all you people doing to your XP installations?!

    I barely maintain my system at all, much to my disdain, but I haven't had it freeze/crash/BSOD/whatever in the past 3 years (well, a few times, but they don't count because it was faulty hardware, not software) and I torture the hell out of this computer!
