Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think magnets can be bad for watches. I don't know if that's always the case. I seem to be able to make non-digital, or at least the kinds with little gears, run backwards.
ETA: Perhaps it's more correct to say I make them slow down, but that pretty much feels like the same thing.
both my phones are pretty bad. one is work issued though, so no real changing that.
I seem to need more explanation. Are magnets bad for watches?
Old watches, anyway, which this one was. I think newer mechanical watches are made with gears that can't be magnetized.
I did not know that. Good thing I keep my cow magnets and DH's pocket watches in separate rooms...
I want to get an android phone when my contract comes up. Anyone know much about those?
The one I have is so piss poor right now, it's a crapshoot whether I can actually call someone or have it not constantly drop calls. To text, I have to hold it up in the air and hit send.
My phone isn't even on that list. Hmph.
I want to get an android phone when my contract comes up. Anyone know much about those?
I have the G1 phone, which was the first to use the android platform, and my Girl has the G2 Touch. I adore my G1, especially with its little pull-out qwerty keyboard. I have now synchronized my entire life via Google. I care not that this makes them the new evil consumerist we-run-the-universe corporation. I can remember my appointments again.
The Girl likes her G2 Touch, but gets frustrated with the fiddly virtual keyboard. I couldn't use one of those.
DJ, you're not alone: my BFF also has the power to make watches run slow; finally they just give up and stop.
I just hope my watch lives until the end of the year. I'm hoping for a trip to Disneyland so I can replace my Mickey. He has been my reliable friend for many years.
The iPhone is pretty bad, but I wonder if that's mitigated by the fact that I hardly ever use it as a phone?
From what I've read so far over there, yes. They recommend using a headset or texting, so that the phone's not an inch away from your skull when it's transmitting.
Yay! I needed something new to fret fruitlessly about!
Sorry.
