Yeah, I think that's part of my aversion to them; I live in the city so I'm never in the car. I see a staggeringly large amount of people with them in on the subway though, even though that usually means you're going with no signal for 10-15 minutes at least. Read more

This album totally blew me away. I'll have to go back and check some of the backlog. This is the first time I've ever really listened to them. Read more

b-b-but the colors... Read more

Yeah, more than anything, this all just kind of shows how sloppy a lot of these guys (even the big ones) are being. Read more

Wow yeah, that'd be a pretty sweet deal if it works. Read more

If only, the REAL dealbreaker is probably going to be when US carriers shut it down again. But here's to hoping. Read more

Well, not JUST as effective. Someone could still (theoretically) crack both passwords from afar. 2-step verification means someone basically has to hack a password, then find you in meat space AND steal your phone. 2 passwords would make it way harder to hack you (in some cases), but not quite as hard as 2-step.… Read more

They were for, like, home and booth usage. Not in the park or something. The better point probably would have been "Yeah, but that's cheating; everybody had to use them, so people didn't think they looked stupid, unlike the Note, which is a choice that sets you apart." Read more

Yeah, but that's cheating; that thing was specifically designed to be held to a face, and not in public either. Read more

Yeah, part of me just wishes Samsung would own it and show users using bluetooth headsets or headphones in their ads. Like, that's what you need to do with those. Otherwise it's almost like you're one of those people self-shotting in the mirror with an iPad Read more

I'm actually not personally opposed to the whole phablet thing, because I basically use my phone like a tiny 3G tablet anyways. And I ALWAYS have headphones attached, so that's generally how I talk. In that use-case, they seem pretty cool. Read more

Trust aside, how much does Twitter really know about you vs. how much Facebook does? That's my logic. Read more

Yeah, less information is why I dig Twitter as my preferred login service. There ain't nuthin' twitter knows about me that's supposed to be private. Besides, like, my password. Read more

If it tweets one god damned thing automatically, though, I'll consider swearing off the service. Read more

Facebook, no. Twitter? All the time. Read more

It's OK, just instagram it. Read more

Yeah, there's definitely something a little segway-ish about it. It's hard to look at this and not think "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Read more

I think it has something there for set your legs on. That said, it's not like there aren't other huge, weird design issues. Read more

Yeah, I hadn't thought of that aspect. That's terrifying. Read more
