What's the latest in people's lives?

Be a bit high on the postage

It's good, but unfortunately sometimes it slows a little when it decides to have an argument between windows and HTC....just like me arguing with my laptop really.

[Nickswitz]

Hopefully Apple will start following in everyone else's steps.

In other news Windows Mobile 7 is supposed to be a lot like iPhone OS 2... rather than 4...

[Reliant121]

Mobile 7 will be crap, purely because Microsoft are doing what is fundamentally wrong with the Apple (for me). No modification, no SDK's...etc. They have even specified that the phone must have set specification and cannot deviate whatsoever. The gripe that I have always had with Apple is the lack of customizability. Beyond having a wallpaper, and installing apps theres nothing. Phone 7 will be even MORE restricted.

Yeah, it's like they looked at Apple in the past four years, and said, oh the iPhone is doing great, lets start stealing their idea's directly... No not the new ones, the old ones that no one liked...

It also wont have multitasking. Even the iPhone is trying to do that (even if its a half ass attempt).

Plus the first win-7 phone to hit the UK is likely to be an LG. Thats not a good sign. Euro-LG are normally utterly awful.

[Nickswitz]

Yeah, it seems Microsoft is wanting to piss people off...

I just went to looking at a site I regularly check out, Verizon over here is getting the HTC INcredible, which from the specs... 1Ghz Snapdragon processor, 1 GB sdRAM, 768 MB ROM, 3.7 inch AMOLED screen, 8 MP camera (Finally something decent on verizon... ) Sense UI (First Verizon phone to support it), and 8GB internal flash storage as well as the ability to add up to 32GB extra to it...

This phone is going to be amazing, even without a real keyboard.

[Reliant121]

S'basically the same as my Desire, only with more ram and ROM and loads more internal harddrive.

That will be amazingly good.

[kostmayer]

Indeed, we have a Touch Pro 2 lying about somewhere (Tilt 2 in America I think?) and, remarkably, it actually works.

I use one of those. Great little device, even with Windows Mobile. I am eagerly awaiting for Android to be ported over to it. Its in the works atm, just a few kinks to iron out.

[Reliant121]

The only thing that doesn't really work so well for me is that it weighs a tonne. When you wear jeans of the style I do, it doesn't really fit that well...

[Mark]

Mark - the amount you described isn't that much caffeine, but it's an awful lot of sugar. That much simple sugar may not trouble your blood sugar on the high end like it would me, but it's highly glycemic - absorbed fast and gotten rid of fast. Even though your blood sugar levels may not go above or below normal levels, the speed with which blood sugar drops can have a real effect on coordination, balance, and (here it is) mood.

Of course, so can PITA exes.

So a sugar crash can effect mood? Huh......I seriously never thought of that.

[stitch626]

Oh yeah, sugar crashes are major mood effectors, especially if your already stressed.

[Mark]

Interesting.........I'll lay dollars to pesos that is a contributing factor.



By the way, I have a framed Trek lithograph of all the Enterprises (minus the NX--it's that old) on a space back drop. I was hanging it last night (its the size of a painting) and the glass broke. No serious lacerations, but glass slivers cut me on nearly every one of my fingers. Stings like an SOB.

[Reliant121]

Jeez, that is gotta hurt!

On a completely new note, I have just begun to watch some programme about strict parents taking on some of the crappy kids of the UK. Christ...all...mighty...I never believed that any of the teenagers of my generation were so frigging disrespectful. it's frankly disgusting.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

Ack, Mark. Hope you're all right!

Put some alcohol on it; it'll be fine.
