ok, somebody was asking me to compare my iphone to a sidekick... i dont know much about sidekicks so here i go.
iPhone
Cool and sleek. very sexy
sidekick
Big and Bulky. plus paris hilton has one and she makes me sick
the end.
see ya next week
also the nokia e70 is pretty cool
sigh... well it finally happened. my old school, USF, (does it count as my alma mater if i didn't graduate?) which was having an AMAZING season football-wise. has been defeated :( by rutgers. what the heck is a rutger? makes no sense. so now we are undefeated no longer, and chances are we will fall way down in the rankings (we were number 2) but it doesnt matter. im not that upset.
note to self:
kill new jersey
ok, i vowed i would never do this, but in my continuing mission to make the world a better place, i sometimes take it upon myself to expose and find the cure for abject stupidity.
so, one day, i wander into my living room and am introduced via a matt lauer special to a politician known as Larry Craig.
now, i preface the following with this statement:
I AM IN NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM MAKING A POLITICAL STATEMENT, OR A STATEMENT INVOLVING ANYONE'S SEXUAL PREFERENCE.
im just pointing out idiocy.
so, the story is as follows,
this dude, goes into a bathroom, some shenanigans occur, dude gets arrested for soliciting sex with an undercover officer.
now, my first issue instantly pops into my psyche
1) ANY GUY KNOWS THE BATHROOM RULES!
they are unwritten, and all of us know them, some of them include, no eye contact or any form of communication with another gentleman whilst in the restroom, no looking between stalls, AND most of all, KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF!
so, ok, dude proceeds to get booked, fingerprinted, and proccessed...all without a lawyer
WHAT!? are you serious?
2) as soon as i see a badge and some cuffs, im screaming for counsel. (especially if im innocent)
anyway, for sake of time, 3 months passes and this dude doesnt call a lawyer, talk to a lawyer, talk to God, or his wife, NOBODY?? sounds suspicious. so the prosecutor contacts him, and wonders of wonders he pleads guilty...
ok, i understand that, a guilty plea, maybe his conscience struck him and he realized the error of his ways... so he did it.
or did he?
fast forward to like a couple of weeks ago, the story becomes public, and mr craig seems to have a change of heart. he is now innocent.
I KNOW!!!! first he's guilty when nobody's looking, but now he's innocent when everybody's paying attention??? what? dude, seriously, you cant have it both ways! he tried to get the conviction overturned, and (thankfully) failed. but i just dont get it, he plead guilty three months after the incident, but now that everyone knows what happened, he wants a "chance to defend himself" (<-- his words)
stupid
moral of the story:
follow the rules in the bathroom
and DONT PLEAD GUILTY IF YOU DIDN'T DO IT!
and this dude is helping run the country
america the beautiful
ok, so I'm officially writing this from my iPhone. this thing is awesome and I totally know all of you are jealous... anyways, so this thing was legit and i didnt get locked out when I tried to update it. (un)fortunatley I spend more time on the Internet than I do actually talking on the phone, but that was to be expected. school has thrown me a curve, so apparently i have to work hard now... so not much sleep going on in my love nest. my job is going excellent (my boss actually trusts me!!!!!! i know, go figure.) so wow (world of warcraft) has all but decimated my free time. well at least the time im not sleeping. soo yeah... thats my life. stress and world of warcraft ;) later suckaz
well, ive finally joined the ranks of the somewhat early adopter crowd. i have purchased an iphone. not at full price mind you, but on ebay at a pretty decent deal. now, my first thought upon opening the box is "wow apple is really riding this simplicity train into the sunset" which im not gonna lie, i really like. my last phone had a 55 page instruction manual, which was stupid.
so after getting my sim card installed, i plugged this sucker in for the first time, activated it and did all that jazz. then it hits me, aside from the cool factor... the iphone is pretty plain. which i have absolutely no problem with because the cool factor is gonna last for quite a long time... like when i went to the at&t/cingular store to buy a new sim card, the clerks were all but drooling over my phone. i felt like quite the celebrity.
now for the nuts and bolts (haha, nuts)
things i like:
1) its an iphone
2) i dont need to use my laptop as much (which is great cause she's on her last legs)
3) the alarm is pretty ballin' it actually woke me up when i was asleep.
4) i can check my stocks...j/k i dont even know what a stock is...
5) the voicemail system does away with that annoying lady, and its really really simple.
6) i can access my home wi-fi network
7) i might be able to pick up chicks with it
things i dont like:
1) its an iphone
2) my fingertips are a little fat, so i tend to mash keys a bit
3) the text messaging setup makes me forget that im not using ichat... spamming could become a problem
4) what!? NO DEATHRAY! come on steve jobs...
5) also no video camera, which i dont really care about but i figured it was worth mentioning
6) speeker fone needs to be louder kid
finally, the whole bricking/unlocking fiasco makes me really really nervous to update the software...
anyways.
final grade: B+
cool is the key word when using an iphone
