8050. judithathome - 6/17/2014 6:52:04 PM 10 Scientific Ideas That Scientists Wish You Would Stop Misusing
...Many ideas have left the world of science and made their way into everyday language — and unfortunately, they are almost always used incorrectly. We asked a group of scientists to tell us which scientific terms they believe are the most widely misunderstood. Here are ten of them.... 8051. arkymalarky - 6/20/2014 2:56:47 AM I do not like being my parents' tech support. 8052. arkymalarky - 9/26/2014 12:36:28 AM will someone please explain iPhone worship to me? I don't get it. Stan needs a new phone and I just don't think the iPhone price reflects its features. 8053. judithathome - 9/26/2014 5:45:13 PM Which of the new ones has problems with bending? I saw three of them on the news yesterday...bent when someone sat down with it in their back pocket.
Frankly, I don't want anything more than a way to call 911 if I am stranded or if the power is out at home.
Of course, I am ancient and shaking my cane at these new-fangled inventions...why can't people just send an engraved invitation to a party? And leave a nice calling card in the tray in the foyer when they drop by? 8054. iiibbb - 9/26/2014 9:38:26 PM The big one bends.
It's not just iPhone worship... but I likes me a cool phone.
However, the worship comes from the integration. 9 times out of 10 things just work (or at least set up) a little easier with an Apple.
That being said, I don't think I'd ever spend money on it. I prefer Android. 8055. iiibbb - 9/26/2014 9:39:43 PM Why people are surprised that a 5-6 inch flat piece of aluminum might bend if you put it in your pocket next to your strongest body muscle... or trying to have it support your body weight....
People really are kind-of dumb. 8056. arkymalarky - 9/27/2014 12:55:07 AM Too funny Judith!
I agree, 3i. I have a moto x and it's the best phone I ever had. it is voice activated, has a very safe and effective drive mode, is physically great and pretty and has been very dependable. it's my everything device. best since my first blackberry. wit a rural life, people to keep up with, a job to keep up with and ninety minutes on the road every work day, the iPhone just didn't cut it. I tried to love it. I just couldn't.
but I just told Stan forget it. he's getting on my last nerve. he can keep his pos 4s. 8058. arkymalarky - 9/27/2014 12:55:31 AM Too funny Judith!

Navy blue leather back, metallic dark gray accents with name engraved, gorgeous. I will have major phone envy. https://www.motorola.com/us/motomaker?pid=FLEXR2 8061. arkymalarky - 9/27/2014 3:00:16 AM Well never mind. I did it.

It this true.
I've been eying the HTC one, but am willing to give a long look at motox 8063. arkymalarky - 9/27/2014 4:09:27 PM yes it is.
try the motomaker. I loved picking my design. I played around with it for days before I bought mine. and if you go to a store and hold it, the curved back is great. there are also neat accessories too like a turbo charger and a keychain charging pack. the x gen2 is really nice. I may turn into supergeek and get the watch and earpiece eventually.
the thing that made me so mad at Stan last night was that his was designed and ready to go and I guess deciding what email to attach it to was one choice too many and he couldn't decide. that's why he's always been an iPhone person. he doesn't like deciding. ;> 8065. arkymalarky - 9/27/2014 4:09:45 PM yes it is.

I never have to touch the phone to listen to music, take calls, get directions, or even send texts. 8069. arkymalarky - 9/27/2014 4:27:20 PM the very greatest thing if you have kids is voice activation and control and drive mode.

I hope he's not talking about me. 8073. judithathome - 9/30/2014 7:53:56 PM On the contrary, I think he's talking about politicians.
