I agree 100% with bias to me thats entertainment and blogging doesn't affect me. then one of them call nokia fans s60 trolls I said ok thats mess up but I know theirs some irritating s60 fans like windows mobile etc etc list never ends so maybe he took a small jab at a annoying reader. But dissing a developer website was just damn right wrong Especially when this people work so hard on what they do. I'm still heated over that comment.

Nah, that wasn't being said:
They are talking about android and how it isn't running natively.
Then one of the talkers is flipping through a XDA thread, and it doesn't look like it's done (running Android natively) "they are arguing now" where the other talker says: "he trolls XDA".
Nothing special, engadget didn't call us trolls.
Next time you post accusations please ensure you heard correctly..
So I'm getting married in 2 months and I'm a T-Mo rep so in essence I live and breath phones. It's just my thing I've been a phone nerd since I started working at T-Mo and got my first Dash. So I was taking a nap before I needed to head to work this afternoon and had a crazy ass dream. I dreamed about my wedding. At some point I was talking with the preacher who is to officiate the wedding and he told me I couldn't get married because he doesn't do 2.1 weddings. My immediate reaction was in shock asking him why he wasn't compatible with Google's Android 2.1 build and if I really had to revert to 1.6 to have the wedding done. Yeah I know weird but I woke up laughing and realizing I might have a problem..
hahahaha You should make a pitch of it and send it to hollywood!

That's different
I'm wondering if you "future" wife to be knows about your adiction to XDA and phones
oh she is very aware of it. She wanted to buy a Cliq when she last had an upgrade and I refused to let her get a phone that has practically no real devs supporting it and got her a MT3G instead. She came home last night around 10pm and asked if I'd eaten I replied with "no" and her immediate response was, "well you could always eat one of your phones, they got that donut, eclair stuff on them, right?"

Melinda Gates Denies Her Children the Sweet, Delicious Temptation of Apple Products – GIZMODO
In a terse exchange with the New York Times, Melinda Gates, wife of billionaire tech playboy William Gates, says she's all but banned Apple products from the Garden of Eden—er, her household.
It's a show of solidarity with her husband, the former head of Microsoft, who famously banned all Apple products from his company's campus when he presided there in his spartan Microsoft Office-equipped office back in 2005.
Business Insider has graciously excerpted the Apple-related answers from the interview, all of which are short enough to feel right at home in a Twitter feed:
Do you own an iPod, which is made by Apple?
No, I have a Zune.
What if one of your children says, "Mom, I have to have an iPod?"
I have gotten that argument - "You may have a Zune."
Do you have an iPad?
Of course not.
Is it true that Bill works on an Apple laptop?
False. Nothing crosses the threshold of our doorstep.
Isn't there room in this world for both Apple and Microsoft?
Microsoft certainly makes products for the Macintosh. Go talk to Bill.

Poor kids?
Unlucky maybe.

Well i wouldn't say they were missing out because, i dont have anything apple in my house. Iam happy with google and microsoft.

I do the same thing though... no one is allowed to borrow or sync music with my computers unless they have a Zune or something besides an ipod. I don't help my friends with macbooks, iphones or any other apple products they have. They made fun of me when I got a zune so they can rot in hell! haha
Hmmmm... what happened to [OP]?
good day.
Yeah, so we're having a son in about 3 weeks and I agree with this style of parenting.
No Apple products in my household.
I'm not raising a family that buys easy at an overpriced rate rather than works to learn easy, gaining essential knowledge on the way.
Stupid people spending stupid money is why we just had this recession in the first place.
No gimmicks in this house.
No tyrants either.
(except for myself, as you can see)
Congratulations!
Sounds like your raising them to become XDA mods

My mom called my doctor and said to him "What's the most accurate measurement for weighing?"
The doctor said "An underwater weighing test"
And just like that, my mom said "Yes. When can my son and my daughter can take it?" and the doc said "Today at 2pm."
So, I didn't bother taking a shower and so did my sister too, so I had to get into a special swimming suit(tight pants...Ugh).
My sister said "Can I pull my hair down to a ponytail?" The doctor said "No."
So my sister with her long, blonde hair went underwater with 8 seconds and had she must enjoyed it..but I didn't.

Hi,
both me and my wife are fighting a desperate (and mostly loosing) fight against the fat.
If you ask me, we as IT workers can but live with it...
Wait I still havn't got the point of this story. What is it the op wants to tell us? Have I missed something?

No idea
Probably just a kid venting? From the medical link given, it seems to be a fairer and more accurate measurement of fat to body-mass ratio than merely using a scale. If the OP really has less fat and more bones/muscle, the test would have been a more accurate measurement of obesity than simply using a weighing scale.
And for teenagers screaming invasion of privacy and such, grow up. Rights comes with responsibility. As long as your parents are providing your needs, they can do whatever the heck they wanna as long as it doesn't hurt. Oh, and emotional trauma and PTSD doesn't really hold up in court.
Makes sense, the OP just said 'accurate', it just sounded a bit off...

Rights can never come without the responsibility of enforcing/using that particular right. Otherwise, that is really messed up.
What I meant by that is that since the parents have a responsibility to take care of you, they have the rights to enforce such a responsibility. Otherwise, you should just fend for yourself. Google up teenage emancipation and read up.
The world is never fair, and always cruel. "Grownups" have experienced it. Trust me, I know.

Sorry, forgot the #sarcasm there. Please excuse the teenage angst in this here thread. You will need to engage psychiatrist and psychologists that HAVE to prove that the trauma has significantly changed the victim and their behavior is no longer bounded by societal norms.
From what I can see, teenagers ranting is quite extremely normal. And so is a teenager being shy about his/her body.
Oh, and your superiority complex is showing. Why don't YOU try to put up a PTSD case and see if you can sue your parents?
Move along, and GOML.

From what I have heard on some news sites on the internet, Steve jobs only has weeks to live. It is about his cancer which is eventualy killing him. I don't like him at all but if it is true, I do find it sad to hear. I would never wish this on anyone.

Heck, the off-topic Mafia's Cook has no problem with this topic, so what's the big deal? It is semi-relevant, because love him or hate him, he started the REAL touchscreen trend. I'd imagine that Android would be using full physical keypads instead of touchscreen if it wasn't for iPhail, despite the general opinion of its usefulness.
Anyway, the rumour that Mr Jobs is dying is unconfirmable, as the original source is National Enquirer, which is a tabloid magazine. And the doctor who said he's dying based his opinion on pictures of Steve Jobs. Pictures.
Make of it what you will.
There's all kinds of wild speculation flying around out there right now. The list of people who actually know what's the case is likely very small.
What really gets me though is the sheer hatred and malicious ill-wishing I've seen going on out there about Mr. Jobs. I think there a lot of jealous, personally insecure folk out there, and that's actually pretty sad. I mean, by way of example, I hate Microsoft and strongly dislike the attitude and actions of Bill Gates, but you won't find me wishing death upon the man, or anything of the sort on his family or friends.
It's clear that we have a lot of dangerous, irrational people out there, and this makes me sad.
love seein the closet apple fans coming out on this thread like cockroaches for some smelly cheese .. get outta here
I have been keeping an eye on news sites and stuff now for 48hrs and I still not convinced. If Steve was really going to die, I think it would be all over the news by now.
Although, that being said, he is a very ill man and if he were to pass away soon I would not be surprised.
Personally i don't like apple and I don't like Steve jobs like I said at the beginning of this thread but he still is a human being and I hope it is not true.

No offense, but the topic is about a mans life. I don't think anyone here(Or I hope anyone wouldn't) wish something like this on anyone else. That post comes off as very rude.
I saw that article featured on gizmodo.
It's probably a rumor unless you believe that 2 "prominent" cancer doctors saying that Steve Jobs has weeks left to live by, if you can believe it,
looking at photos of his ass from his jeans.
so I don't think Steve has weeks to live. The national enquirer is 99.99% bs.

good job reading i didnt even mention steve in my post
I'm just curious as to how good Android would have been without the iPhone as a big fat target to shoot for. Apple would be no where near as influential or profitable, imho, without Jobs at the helm. Granted, he may piss on his customers opinions, i.e. antennagate, yer holdin' it wrong!, but the fact remains that if Apple wasn't pushing out quality products the whole community would be lesser for it.
totally agree...
Apple first don'd the PDA term back in 1992 around the release of the Newton message pad.
On another note.
I can't understand why anyone could say that don't like someone if they have never met in person...
