Hey you know that hand held computer you carry with you everywhere so that you can text obscene messages to your besties? That's a telephone!

Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone!

He also invented wireless and light communication, no big

In the old days you used to have to connect your calls through human beings, who probably hated you, but had to be polite so that they wouldn't lose their job!

The best modern phones are of course connected via fiber optics*!

I guess cell phones are ok too though

I work in fiber optics you guys but that doesn't affect my judgement on this point!

    This is extremely sarcastic and could kick off a discussion I don't think many people care to have right now, but I found it funny. In regards to the Manning thing:

    I've noticed a ton of people who naturally would've been in Manning's camp have suddenly turned against her when they found out she's trans.

    I like how it shows up as a URL briefly and then javascript rewrites it. Make that client work for the money.

    It's so much fun! I keep picking different backs, which leads to pick a different front (sometimes) and then the accent color. Hopefully they'll bring engraving back by the time it hits Sprint/T-Mobile. And more colors (possibly for the front).

    And I see Samsung is continuing its tradition of releasing phones with a bigger screen than the GS flagship, but with a lower resolution. Lame.
