    Asking people sarcastic questions like this one:
    Do you know why adults always ask little kids what do you wanna be when they grow up? They are looking for ideas about possible career choices themselves. HA! HA!

Now, Mr. Whiley always refers to himself in the 3rd person. Bob hates this. Bob loves that sort of thing. Also, another forum member, Blood ON The Tracks, informed me that a character on "Seinfeld" named "Jimmy" used this comedic device first.</div><div> </div><div>Why do I do this? Simple really. I always thought that speaking in the 3rd person is a great comical device to act as though a person is observing life's events from a distance above it all like a near death experience almost as if you are watching someone else live vicariously through you. In a nutshell, I am paying homage to Bob & Jimmy because I have a fondness for brilliant comedians that make you think & are kind of like the protest singers of my generation George Carlin, Bill Maher etc. etc.</div>

    How does Apple continue to create overzealous frenzy & demand for their technological products? Computers I get; iPhones not so much...The legend of Steve Jobs will never ever die. It's remarkable actually. I'm fascinated by it.

      What gets my laughing is how some people view apples "new" features as amazing. Some were amazing by turn by turn navigation in iOS6 and I thought "Hmm...Now that's been out on Android for at least 4 years now....". Nadine you should be able to disable the apps that you don't want and then you won't see them (Unless you enable them again).

      blackhawk you can disable them but you cannot remove them and you cannot block them from updating. If microsoft pulled shennanigans like this there were be lawsuits. it's my machine, I paid for it, just because you can add your sponsored apps to it does not mean you should. also if I sign a contract for 2 years, I expect the phone to last 2 years
