How much space do you have Jack?

They did a bit more than that, don't you think? 10 years after the practical introduction of mp3 players and from where I sit, which is a decidedly non-apple-fanboy position, there still isn't anything better than an iPod for 90% of portable mp3 use.

Huh. Got cutoff by some jackass while entering the parking lot to pick up dinner, heard a clunk on the floor of the passenger's seat. When I got out I looked over - there was the missing iPod. I went through the car thoroughly last night and again tonight, with a fricken flashlight both times and scoured the area under that seat. So I have no idea where it was, but I'm happy it found its way into the light again.

Became pretty certain that my iPod was either stolen from my desk at work or out of my car. It's been MIA since Wednesday. Ugh.

Best of luck, Ethan.

Canon S90 so I finally have a grab and go camera.

Over the last 2+ days I've spent 5+ hours on the phone with our tech folks only to have them break my machine worse than it was before. FML

thread title edited because some days this thread provides a much needed laugh.

What did I do now? (other than banning him both places)

Off-topic, bye bye regal.

Happy Birthday to both of you!!

Good luck, Mike.

And just for irony's sake my reply double-posted, despite only hitting reply once. (and yes, it stalled when I hit the button)

Also because I've been trying to delete as many as I can. And we're looking into the problem, there's no easy explanation that can be found, yet.

Peter, I'm with you, when the hell did they air another 6 episodes? I guess I'll have to track them down and see if they managed to polish the turd enough that it's worth watching.

Glad to hear you are bouncing back, Jacob. Unfortunately I'm in the opposite boat, yesterday's improvement was a plateau, still feel pretty crappy today.

The reverse of this. Although I prefer vintage amplifier kits.

Frank: I told my wife I wouldn't drink tonight. Besides, I got a big day tomorrow. You guys have a great time. College Student: A big day? Doing what? Frank: Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time.

Agreed. Mmmmm, cake.

That's a worthless non-argument. Apple had the lead in doing things well, they no longer do. Your insistent need to hold onto a shitty way of doing things is pretty backwards. It'd be like saying you like BMW cars and therefore everything else is shit because it doesn't have the same dash. The newer Android phones are just as easy as an iOs device to figure out, I should know, I've used both for extended periods of time. Are they exactly the same, of course not. No, I'm not. It's the same on my wife's HTC Droid Incredible. And Dan, wait, what, so you're saying the easiest way to shut off the GPS is to shut off every function on the phone that uses a radio? What if you want to leave the phone and wifi on? Android is way ahead on lots of things that make the device more user friendly.

I mean that on my phone there's a simple app sized button that allows me to turn on and off bluetooth, wireless, gps and another setting. One button, not four menus. So it could get a lot simpler, more efficient and more user friendly. But Apple won't allow anyone to do that because they don't think it works well (why, I have no idea). Widgets are wonderful, Apple ignores them, much to their detriment. Another example, the contacts App which allows one-touch speed dialing and texting, there's no equal on iOs and Android is the better for it. Let's continue - when you get a text message on your phone, what happens, annoying pop-up right? You know, those things that they actually developed software for on the web to keep from blowing into the middle of whatever it is that you were trying to do. My phone, the unpolished turd that it is (not) simply displays a quick message in the banner at the top of the screen and then displays a tiny notification icon, none of which impacts whatever it was that I was doing. Further to the point if I then get an email it stacks an email notification icon next to the text. If I miss a call, ditto. When I look at my phone I know exactly what has happened since I last used it. I don't have umpteen fricken pop-ups to wade through just to get back to my phone. Oh and one more thing, please try to go listen to your favorite podcast that you forgot to sync before you left in the morning. Woops, if it's over some magical size limit you're screwed. Me, I just tell my phone that I couldn't care less that I'm not on wi-fi and download away to my heart's content.

Jacob, On your finished iPhone, how many steps does it take to turn off or on GPS?
