I have a Blackberry for a few months now and it's fine, apart from the fact that it decides to randomly turn itself off every now and then, and there seems no way to stop it. Quite annoying. But other than that it does me fine.

Apple I must admit I hate, especially after watching a "Watchdog" TV programme (show that investigates false claims, rip-offs, shoddy work etc) where it was shown that the new "voice assistant" or whatever it's called that Apple were trumpeting, that can tell you when the bus is due or where the nearest restaurant is, GPS and all that, only works in the US. Didn't stop them selling the phone --- with the facility as an upgrade --- outside the US. And when challenged, the ****s said "We never claimed it worked outside the US". Well no, but you sold it to people you knew didn't live in America, and made no effort to tell them the feature they were paying for was useless because it would not work, so it's more a lie of omission, but still a big fat lie, something Apple seem to have no problem telling.

Hate them.

Well, I live in the US and I have that feature (Siri) turned off on my phone. That's how useful I find it.

Siri? Yeah. I have it turned off on my phone!! So pointless.

Yup that's fine. But if you actually paid for it, hoping to use it, and couldn't then even find out for yourself how crap it was oh wait, I see where you're going here... :)

I get what your saying man but what's the point? You can't change the world from a internet rant on a anonymous music forum. I agree with most of what you said but it just seems like wasted energy. At least you know who you are and where you stand though but people like what they like. Whether its I phones or effing Taylor swift.

I don't get how weed is so relieving, meh.

What I find is a lot of people try too hard to remain intelligent. You gotta let go a bit, take it easy breezy, fool around and have some dumb fun as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. I find intelligence can make a situation a lot more stressful sometimes. Do what you gotta do dude. Have a beer on me. :beer:
