Is it ever specified of the wine Jesus makes is good wine?

Well, there existed phones that were kind of what smartphones became. Blackberries and Palms get a lot of the attention as they were what executives used, but there were also PocketPC devices that were usually white label manufactured HTC devices that were branded after carriers or some other company like HP. They generally were much larger screened devices with a few buttons at the bottom. They were resistive touchscreens so using your fingers was pretty meh for responsiveness, and the UI was just not designed in a way that was pleasant to navigate. Picture a shrunk down desktop interface. I'd say the UI was the biggest shakeup that they did in the product category, followed by steadily raising the bar for hardware in a space that often would have cheap plastic components. Don't get me wrong, I think too much glass and aluminum is actually poorer than something like kevlar especially for dents and dings, but it doesn't look nearly as sexy.

They're totally, definitely, absolutely not Jessica!

Is that a rhetorical question? I've had a few Apple products mostly in the past or issued to me from when, but I prefer android even when it can be disappointing to me sometimes. Was launching into nandroid via Haret when Windows Mobile devices were a thing too. I don't prefer Apple stuff but whether it be sincere or perhaps theatrics, it seems like you've got an unnecessary and over aggressive revulsion towards them.

It's interesting you mention Apple because while I have every expectation that you're correct at the moment, the iPod absolutely benefited from piracy. iTunes allowed you to add your own songs to your library to sync with the device, and iTunes could also be argued to have been on a similar model to Steam because you'd pay to 'own' the songs and there was no subscription giving you access to songs.

I don't care about right jeans making me look old because I just can't wait until baggy pants become more acceptable to wear again. Much more comfortable!

Called half splitting in troubleshooting terms when I was in the Navy.

Is that...a Wii U in on the far right in the thumbnail?

Honestly surprised the article phrased it that it was problems within the Republican membership and not just the entire house of representatives.

That sounds fantastic. Experiment run its course, get derailed, something else?

Hell yes to Prydain but I'm not sure who would do it. I'm sure Disney associates it with their dark time in animation.

My first wasn't even an actual android! I had an HTC touch pro running Haret that would reboot the phone into Android. Was so great despite the quirks and bugs since... well Windows Mobile has plenty of that going on anyway.
