Vox, regardless of your own requirements, it's nice to have options and Apple until recently offered only one phone with a 3.5" screen — that's one phone for kids, tech nerds, soccer moms, and old grannies alike. Next size up was a 10" tablet. Not a whole lot of variety there.
You can dismiss companies like Samsung as copycats, but left unchecked Apple would have no reason to offer any more than slight incremental updates (case in point: 18 months from 4 > 4S) while charging top dollar for the same old cheap ass junk coming out of China. Great for Apple shareholders, not so good for consumers.
And on that note I laugh every time someone mentions the craftsmanship of Apple products MADE IN CHINA. This ain't Patek Philippe.

I keep saying if the iPhone 6 fails to impress me I'm going back to droid, but I'd lose out on a lot of apps I've downloaded/bought and that's a pain. I went through it when I switched to this.
I almost always want more. It is tough to find a good decaf.
I can be okay without a phone, but I will turn around and get it since I use it for work a LOT. I've been on 3 international trips this year where I was without it and didn't even think twice about it.Master of karate, and friendship, for everyone crew.

I am sure there are still negative side effects. I am almost sure it is part of the cause of my trouble falling asleep (even though I try not to have any caffeine in the evening). I also keep needing to up my dosing to feel any effects.
I want to take a period and try to caff detox again. Help lower my baseline back down.-

Gladiator is an awesome movie!
I prefer the extended edition, for nearly 3 full hours of cinematic ass-kickery.-

Russell Crowe, but yes.
This is not a new revelation by any means. Just merely stating a fact as I turn the movie on to watch, yet again. I was urged to watch it, after a brief conversation with Shouples this morning before the gym in which he wished me "Strength and honor" as I departed.
In NFL news:
Cardinals released Kevin Kolb, saving them his $9m salary of the season and a $2m bonus. The other person involved in that trade (Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) has signed with the Broncos this off season.
The Tuck Rule has the possibility of being abolished. While there is also talk of allowing a change to video reviews, allowing plays to be reviewed even if a coach makes an illegal challenge.-

Meh, I'm not worried about losing the squats today. I prefer ham dominant exercises. Squats are just a necessary evil that I begrudgingly do.

I am interested to see KC play this season. Adding Dunta Robinson opposite of Flowers. Donnie Avery is quite capable in the slot. Fasano has nothing on Moeaki, but he is a very competent TE. Alex Smith isn't with Harbaugh anymore, but Andy Reid knows how to make the most out of QBs.-

I think Apple would be smarter to offer a couple of different screen sizes to give people more choice (the 5 isn't that much bigger than a 4S). But that said, I don't think any company needs to try to be all things to all people. For example, Mercedes doesn't need to offer a $20K car or a minivan or something to remain relevant and highly profitable. I have no problem with a company determining what they feel to be the "right" products for them to sell and then focusing on that.
You can dismiss companies like Samsung as copycats, but left unchecked Apple would have no reason to offer any more than slight incremental updates (case in point: 18 months from 4 > 4S) while charging top dollar for the same old cheap ass junk coming out of China. Great for Apple shareholders, not so good for consumers.
And I wouldn't call anything they make "cheap ass junk".☠ By reading this post, you have agreed to my negative reputation terms of service.
