machoprogrammer: Faps_in_the_kitchen: So I have a family plan with 5 phones, 2 are eligible for an upgrade through Sprint. The lines are for my mother and grandmother who just have basic phones and do nothing more than make calls on it. Looks like I'm going down to the Sprint store tomorrow and upgrade both lines to iPhone 5's, pay the upgrade price, change the lines back to the old phones and sell the iPhones for a nice profit.

Why upgrade? Are your phones broken? Or do you just need to have that shiny new gadget?

He's not upgrading.

Can anyone read anymore?

stonicus: dr_blasto: dr_blasto: Phaeon: bingethinker: sure haven't: I gotta say that Samsung's new commercial is deliciously awesome.

It's awesome to make Samsung owners look like smug douchebags?

It tries to make iPhone people look like dumbasses, but ends up making SIII people look like jackasses. They just had to trade playlists, videos/pics right in front of the line. These kind of phone commercials are part of a terrible cycle of fanboyish bullshiat circle jerking that is unnecessary and childish.

Do people actually do shiat like trade playlists and link their financial information to motherfarking Google?

I'm still struggling with this. You're not trading songs, you're just providing a list, right? So the other farker you're sending a playlist has to already have that shiat on their goddamn phone. That would mean they've probably heard all that stuff before. Is this a "OMG, you've gotta hear these songs together, it's beautiful man!" That's stupid. No I don't want to hear your goddamn playlist. Keep your playlist infected herp-phone away from mine.

These are the people who make a playlist then call themselves a DJ.

So, basically stupid people that should be immediately ignored or verbally abused.

Damn. Romney was right. It's hard to keep all of those people who want to sneak in there to work out.

I thought those were iPhone users.

Apparently the iPhone users have the common courtesy to keep their crappy music to themselves.

So, all you douchebag wannabies will just have to wait a little longer to be a full fledged douchebag.

B-b-b-b-but Apple promised they'd totally fix the working conditions at those factories.

Tr0mBoNe: Oh noes!! My widget!!

Buying this thing will make me happy.

AcneVulgaris: This is the first riot of many. China's economy is imploding.

Doctor Jan Itor: So.... HTC phones are OK?

i LOVE my HTC. and it was half the price of some POS apple product. my skin burns when i walk by one of those places in the mall. *shudder*

digistil:

Also, why would you use RFID/NFC to send data, when you have 4G or WiFi which is MUCH faster and doesn't require the two devices to be within inches of each other?

Because 4G and WIFI don't require you to smack their phone with yours and don't open the doors for someone with a virus-infected phone to easily transfer that same security risk to yours. Looking at that Samsung ad, they take their phones and tap them together. Given the S3's proclivity to crack this seems like a bad idea.

Also note that all this talk about NFC (e.g. iPhone doesn't even have NFC, what losers!) seldom brings up the security flaws inherent to Android's distribution model. All the Samsung, HTC and Moto rebadgers of the Android system add their bloatware and, for many, this is done poorly with loads of security holes. People willing to give Google Wallet access to their bank or credit accounts are taking a massive risk as most users aren't aware of these flaws, much like the "Macs won't get viruses" people, they are unaware that the classic computer virus is not the preferred mode for gaining access and or control of your computer any more. Malicious code, executed on a web page is far more effective as is using malicious code buried in the little app you downloaded from the "open" Android market.

FTFA: Other photos show debris strewn around the Foxconn compound and in one case, an overturned guard tower.

Guard tower? Factories don't need guard towers, prison work camps need guard towers.

iPhone 4S user. I thought that Samsung commercial was hilarious.
