Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Right now I'm agreeing. Flash seems to have a huge penetration in terms of quick media clips, as well as web site applications.
Hmm - I'm fine with flash for media clips, and really any type of animation. But am I the only one who hates, hates, hates flash as the driving force for a web site, hates it as the driver for non-animated menus, hates it as the presenter of text.
Actually let me be fair: I don't hate flash for having those capabilities. I hate the web designers for using misusing them.
OK - here is a company who is making a product I think will help save the world if someone adapts it. But am I wrong in think this flash based website really sucks, in part because it misuses flash?
(I also think it is a mistake to open only with a menu, and not present some sort of default content.)

In the first 8 months, iPhone has garnered 28 percent market share
28% market share of what? Of cell phones? Because I find that really hard to believe.

"Smart Phones". In the US.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Crap. They're trying to make me want one, aren't they?

I am protected only by the fact that I (a) already have a Touch and (b) have resolved not to shop in 2008.
But if an unfortunate "accident" should befall my Treo...well...I'd be forced to replace it, wouldn't I?

My not-shopping (okay, mostly) is not feeling like enough of a bulwark. Are you saying it would work to buy a Touch in order to keep myself from buying stuff?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Tell ya what, Jessica, if you were to accidentally drop your Treo into an envelope with $20 and accidentally send it to me, I could accidentally test the envelope for suspicious substances with a hammer then send you the pieces and a profound apology...

It's very wantable! I've stopped carrying my laptop everywhere. I less than three my iPhone!
