-Its awesome to finally have an iPhone again, cause it just seems that although they're are many other phones that can do what the iPhone does they cant do it as elegantly or as smooth ya kno:2cool:

But for some reason I've been kinda cheating on my iPhone by looking at the BlackBerry Bold:tounge:
-I have so many apps on my iPhone yet I find myself only using the stock apps the most like SMS, or Safari ya kno lol! Idk I'm no traitor but I'm kinda starting to see the iPhone as more of a phone for "show" than ya kno a phone for "use" haha I guess you could say :-/

Haha your so right :(
-I just hope I'm not turning into a phone whore:tounge:

I'm satisfying my phonewhore urges by breaking it to my wife gently that I will, in all likelihood, be buying the next version of iPhone, even if I'm still happy with my V1 at that point. I don't know if that's true or not, but it makes me feel better about enjoying my current technology so much. ;)

Not only is it awesome you have one again but you can really share in the discussions and experiences on this forum. Several people here post without actually owning one but it's great when you can actually relate to everyone by experiencing what everyone else is. Did that make sense?
Also, the cheating thing, my friend just got a Storm and I am seeing her tomorrow, she wants me to check it out. I have only seen dummy ones at the store so I am dying to get my hands on it just to play with it. It's a nice size and has a nice camera. I just like Safari though on the iphone and don't think that I can live without it now. I am hoping I won't like it. Plus now that I can jailbreak the iphone, I think I would be bored with a "regular" phone.
I just like some of the features of the Storm plus my family all is still with Verizon, so I'm not IN.:frown:

what is this Twilight movie? i've only seen it referred to here at EIC. i looked it up on wikipedia and see that it was a book...is it well known? is it another in RomComZom genre?Nah, it's a series of books about teen vampires. Appeals to the younger crowd. My daughters are infatuated with it.

[Hayesimus]

yeah. i haven't read the books, but I think its a neat premise. The movie however could have been better. Especially the acting. Meh. oh well. I guess I'm not really their target demographic...

Well, the thing that bugs me about the books is that they don't have fangs, and most of the teens are vegetarians---they only drink blood from smaller animals, not humans. I don't know how that makes them vegetarians, but that's what my daughters say. They walk around in daylight, too. They only thing that is a constant is that they are immortal, and they can fly and are super strong. Bah, give me the Anne Rice vampire books any time.

sorry to say, because i like you both - dcom & dturner - but if you're visiting New York and chose to eat at Fridays, you deserve to be ripped off. we have thousands of independently owned restaurants. there is no excuse to eat in a chain. in fact, im sure they overcharge just so that tourists can go home with a story...

Oh, I agree. We didn't stay to eat, just up and left.:laugh2: We visit NYC quite often and the one thing I like about the restaurants is that 99% of them post a menu outside the door so you can see what your are getting into.
There is a place on Madison Ave. called Burger Haven( or Heaven). They have the best breakfast for a very reasonable price. Always make that a stop.

Oh I didn't mind paying that much. I just thought that as a chain, the prices would be closer to what we were used to. We love visiting NY and usually find an interesting place to eat. In fact one of the best lunches we had was a giant pretzel and a couple of Pepsis sitting on a bench next to the skating rink at 30 Rock.

So coasts, how about some recommendations for lunch next time were up there

Made with a bit of care, not just slapped together, made to order and served like you might do if you made it for yourself at home. Juicy. They may have changed since I was there last in the 80's-90's.

IMHO it's the best and their french fries are cut from the potato right in front of you, nothing frozen, it's all fresh. I guess if you live in California it's just another fast food place but it still remains my favorite over McDonalds or any other place. I am into fresh:wink:.
Plus I have always heard McDonald's patties contain pieces of cow's eyes and Jack in the Box use to use horse meat (lol), those have always been the rumors since I was little.:D

I've heard McDonald's burgers are made from reconstituted powdered meat. But I've also heard KFC changed it's name from Kentucky Fried Chicken because what they were serving weren't technically chickens, but genetically modified freaks with no beaks or eyes.

I've heard the same thing about McDonald's meat, but I've never heard that about KFC before. That's a little... :foot:
If that is true, the good thing about it, for me at least, is that the last time I had KFC was more than 5 years ago.

Sure, or you can just go to http://esper.net and use their Java or CGI clients if you wanna keep it simple. Just remember to join #eic.

I just joined Twitter today after still trying to figure out EIC Social, which is very confusing to me because I am use to facebook. I have been playing around with Twitter a bit but have to spend more time with it.

PS-Another movie to add to my list that I have seen this week is Bedtime Stories with Adam Sandler. Thank God it wasn't a movie that makes you cry, on the contrary-I was falling asleep. If you haven't seen it I would wait for the DVD and not waste your $$$.

[connie]

Ok, I am now following some of you, what do I do now? What else do you do in Twitter?

Greg Grunberg and Lance Armstrong are pretty interesting. I also follow Chris, EiC, MMi, CNN, JarofClay, Macgirl, Aggie - and more. They keep it interesting.

[up10ad]

I finally broke down and got on twitter. They would not revive my old account (they wouldn't even respond to my several inquiries), so my username is up10ad_

I'm not very interesting so you may not want to follow me :rolleyes: , but I'll be trying to follow a few interesting folks, and some of you as well ;)

I think 2009 will be the YoT (Year of Twitter) as I also got onto Twitter today. My user ID is suburbnhaikuist and will try to be a little interesting. Maybe we need to get an EIC Twitter group going.

in my opinion, iRovr is much better for "following" friends. Twitter is a good way to get updates on different things that interest you.

Jack, instead of searching for people you know, try searching for keywords tht interest you. living in NYC, is searched NYC and now "follow" the, er, following:

MTA Updates - subway info
NYC Weather
Open Bar - Free drinks around the city
some Jazz group

and then the tech crap about iPhone...

Lisa, to reply to someone, roll over the comment that you want to reply to and it will highlight. A star and an arrow appears, choose the arrow and you can reply. The "What are you doing" box at the top is to update your status so you can tell us what you're up to.

And even though Starry and Buffy are not here I have seen them on Twitter. Starry updates all the time there.

And I do agree that iRovr is great too but for some reason I always forget about it.

Because I had previously set up an account that was removed, I was unable to link my iPhone number to my new account (because I didn't set it up using their transfer old phone # wizard).

So, in order to get my phone linked, I had to set up yet another new account. I am following you all at up10ad_rick. The old account up10ad and up10ad_ are now inactive. See you all there!

Go to Settings then Devices. enter +1XXXYYYYYYY where +1 is the US, XXX is your area code, and YYYYYYY is your 7 digit phone number.

it's just another way to waste our time ;) People are using it as a chat room and it gets annoying that way, it really is kinda like updating your status on facebook and myspace. just to kinda let your friends know what you are doing or whats going on in your life.

[dcom]

I'm looking at it as a way to learn interesting things, whether about people I know, stuff I had no clue about, or new things in areas that already interested me. The idea behind it is to enlighten others about you or about something you think they would like to know.
