- Danby123, on 11/13/2009, -21/+408I love the stages that this meme takes. People start burying it, then the nostalgia factor kicks in, then people get tired of it and bury it again, then digg it once its fresh again.
I for one find find the cycle kind of relaxing, as if it marks the passage of time, and the diggs signify the seasons that the comment will go through. I will be deeply disturbed once this comment leaves the page for good; no matter how low it goes under the threshold, or whether it breaks 1000 diggs, it always gladdens me to see that some things always stay the same no matter of outside opinions.
Godspeed Binky. - SauerNinja, on 11/13/2009, -13/+322Somewhat off-topic, but did anyone else facepalm during the Pizza Hut commercial boasting the iPhone app allowing one to order a pizza... on their phone?
- Cerin, on 11/13/2009, -5/+208I object! I'm writing this message from an iPhone, and I've ne
- jayv2010, on 11/13/2009, -8/+153iPhone wins on Dropped Calls.
- Mystfit, on 11/13/2009, -2/+135Well, that's a new one.
- Mujokan, on 11/13/2009, -3/+129You can order a none pizza with left beef, that's always handy. http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/000707.php Or have it cut into isosceles triangles. http://i.imgur.com/Ech6z.jpg
- trisweb, on 11/13/2009, -8/+131I love the iPhone, but I got a Droid because I'm stuck with (aka "lucky to be on") Verizon, and I have to agree about the screen. I didn't know it was actually 265 pixels per inch, but that sounds about right since the thing basically looks like glowing paper (no pixels are ever visible) and I can still read a web page when zoomed fully out (not that I would, but my eyes are good enough to see that it's rendering every single letter). It's so freaking clear.
The app selection and quality leaves a lot to be desired: not filtering the apps or controlling their design qualities as much has its downsides. But overall you can find something that does what you need and there are a few standouts. Hopefully this will improve as the Droid expands the market, but I still think the iPhone has, in general, better quality and obviously more apps, and also a better touch screen and responsive experience. The Droid passes, but there are some interfaces that just annoy the heck out of me, for all its (many) capabilities I will still think of it as somewhat ugly.
But for both phones, let's face it, this cartoon nails it on the head. My friends must be annoyed at the new toy syndrome I've had for the last three days, and I feel empty inside. I'm hoping it subsides and I get used to it just being a phone and don't let it take over my life. - JDoorjam, on 11/13/2009, -2/+102Excerpted from the forthcoming book _Seasons of Memes_ by Danby123.
- Trifold, on 11/13/2009, -4/+104Saying 3G is "slightly faster" than Edge is like saying bacon is "slightly tastier" than poop. I mean wow AT&T.
- awtripp, on 11/13/2009, -1/+100At least it was kind enough to save your reply before it dropped it completely.
- CrazyEddie041, on 11/13/2009, -10/+102Dugg for non-4chan-spawned meme.
- deadguysleeps, on 11/13/2009, -10/+101This is the best fanboy flame war inducing xkcd ever !
- JeSTeRSeVeN, on 11/13/2009, -11/+100You sure are consistent.
- cthellis, on 11/13/2009, -3/+70Well, it has the ability to also order pizza over WiFi! ;-)
But more importantly, you can do it without talking to their idiot employees and having them take your order wrong. (Instead they'll probably just MAKE it wrong, but it removes one channel of failure.) - iVisionX01, on 11/13/2009, -2/+41I'd like to get my hands on a GSM Droid.
- rotorbladesmoke, on 11/13/2009, -7/+45Dugg for rewording of 'Dugg for Consistency'.
- aherman, on 11/13/2009, -2/+36That's what she said.
- NathanielJ, on 11/13/2009, -0/+32Apparently "cut into isosceles triangles" means "cut into one big triangle and three wedges"?
- th3heretic, on 11/13/2009, -5/+34The iPhone app market is just as swamped with crap.
- Trollbane, on 11/13/2009, -4/+31Like porn before the internet, or mobility before cars, it's sometimes hard to believe that there once were internet memes which came whence not from /b/.
- gluon, on 11/13/2009, -4/+28maybe droid users can start their own religion
- cptcliche, on 11/13/2009, -8/+31In fact, I think I'll even digg him because of that
- protodon, on 11/13/2009, -6/+26Lol "canada" consists 3 densely populated spots in the top hat of north america. It's a lot easier to cover the population when you don't have much of it.
- burningrobot, on 11/13/2009, -8/+28Try the RealLife app. It let's you engage in all your mundane everyday activities secondhand through your iPhone.
- Cerin, on 11/13/2009, -2/+21But that's not the droid we're looking for...
\s - browny1978, on 11/13/2009, -3/+22sad thing is i have both, and that is pretty much true.
- Malnilion, on 11/13/2009, -1/+20It's good to step back and take pleasure in the little things in life...like ballpoint pens: http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R3QR3AC2WXWHIT/ref= ...
- gl77, on 11/13/2009, -4/+21now THIS is an xkcd I can actually digg and get behind. I actually thought it was funny...............today is going to be a good day.
- ronintetsuro, on 11/13/2009, -0/+17Every time some Apple junkie decends form the mothership to try and clown on my G1, all I have to do is tell them that I NEVER drop a call.
They STFU pretty fast after that. - silver26, on 11/13/2009, -1/+17a prime example of why the lusting of the latest and greatest is truly pointless.
- themagicfetus, on 11/13/2009, -2/+18Rare and somewhat curious a decade ago, the Apple fanboy has grown into a douchebag infestation around these parts. Here is one now
- Antialias, on 11/13/2009, -2/+17Humans are funny creatures. We take the 'us' vs 'them' argument into every aspect of our lives, countries, religion, all the way dwon to the products we buy. It's always choosing a side and then bashing the other side because they chose wrong. Why is it that we need the self esteem boost of thinking that we made the "best" choice and that it's the right choice for everyone?
- Sonorass, on 11/13/2009, -1/+15Hope you have Chipotlaway
- redfox2600, on 11/13/2009, -3/+17Windows mobile dev fee = $0
Google's Android dev fee = $0 (open source)
Apple dev fee = $100 + Steve Jobs periodically telling you to ***** off. Seriously why do people put up with that *****? - Shoebox639, on 11/13/2009, -1/+14"no pixels are ever visible"
does that mean the droid isn't photoshopped? - awtripp, on 11/13/2009, -0/+13Yeah me too, but my computer doesn't fit in my pocket.
- flyingsquirle, on 11/13/2009, -1/+14wait wait.... I do believe there's an app for that
- postalblowfish7, on 11/13/2009, -1/+13how about not paying $100/month for a ***** phone? you're all being hosed, no mater which, um, "smart" phone you choose.
- yoshi8710, on 11/13/2009, -13/+25I would also like to thank you binky, for bringing some purpose to my mondays, Wednesdays, and fridays.
You have become a steady rock in the ever changing rapids that is the internet.
Live long and prosper. - Frozenfuryblade, on 11/13/2009, -0/+12In the words of *****:
"Son, no one gives a ***** about all the things your cell phone does. You didn't invent it, you just bought it. Anybody can do that."
Seriously. I have an iPhone. It's cool. I don't care if your phone is better, I don't care if my phone is better. - Gibletoid, on 11/14/2009, -1/+12Can we get Kevin Rose to interview Bink79?
- leif777, on 11/13/2009, -0/+11nerd.
I'm totally jealous and I want one, BTW. - skipvt, on 11/13/2009, -1/+12Then you realized it was Friday the 13th...
- mlw4428, on 11/13/2009, -0/+11and they won't let you run it
- ricerfuel, on 11/13/2009, -0/+10You guys seem to have real problems with coverage in the US
Do you guys get 3.5G? - inigomntoya, on 11/13/2009, -0/+10*****!
- KingGorilla, on 11/13/2009, -7/+16razr is the best phone!
- Area51mafia, on 11/13/2009, -3/+12Chipotle has an iPhone ordering app that I've used several times, and I gotta say that it's the greatest thing ever (next to the burrito itself, of course).
- dajuggernaut, on 11/13/2009, -6/+15Congratulations, you are on the front page!
Now prepare to be buried into an oblivion.
Was your crappy comment worth it?
Now you will forever be remembered as "that guy that made it to the front page only to be ridiculed." -
