Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

The comment bar/footnotes (toggles off and on) looks like lines and an arrow and usually is in the Reviewing bar.

I think it is black links and some blue.

I never run my Lenovo plugged in (8+ hours battery life!)

Daaaaaamn. I run my Lenovo Ideapad plugged in all the time, and I get about 3.5 hours battery life, give or take. I'm still confused about whether or not keeping it plugged in all the time is bad for the battery or whatever. It doesn't keep charging once it's fully charged, so it shouldn't affect the battery. Yet some people are recommending I remove the battery when I have it plugged in.

Keeping it plugged in all the time does shorten battery life in the long run. Combination of temperature plus battery shallowly charging and discharging. But that should be a long term thing. It should have zero detectable influence on battery life in the first year or two of running the computer. If battery life is a lot shorter than expected something else is going on.

Battery life is supposed to be 4 hours, so it's about right. Although one time it somehow only lasted under 2. But most of the time, it seems to last for a few hours.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

AT&T's position on why they should be allowed to buy T-Mobile. Fairly sure the writing's biased, since it's Gizmodo, but it's still interesting.

T-Mobile is sending my G2 messages telling me I should restart my phone periodically (every week). In fact, it's telling me I'm 25 hours past due. Anyone else get that? WTF?

That's weird. I have a T-Mobile MyTouch and it certainly benefits from a periodic re-start, but I don't ever get any messages on the issue.

I get that on my Exhibit as well, ita. Even after I have just restarted my phone because Angry Birds froze yet again.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

But I thought AT&T dropped it?

No iPhone for me. What's a cool smartphone that smart but not superexpensive, supergenius that uses T-Mobile?

Not me.
