I had an HTC Incredible that had a little touch nipple thing at the bottom-middle of the screen. It functioned like a Thinkpad nub and was pressable for a click. So far that is the best text selection method I have seen on a cell phone.

Those all seem like examples of the phone not being good enough.

If I owned a candy company I'd invest in this company big time!

In this case his one point of data would be enough to refute the original claim.

I have used mutation observers to do exactly this. They are very simple to use.

What are they if you love wires?

Is this why most password entry forms in Android do not allow use of the Swype-type keyboard? I always thought that was strange. Now it makes more sense....backdooring

I've lived in houses before, stuff tends to break over time....keep that in mind. As long as more than $3600 worth of stuff doesn't break within 5 years you are good. Probably depends partially on the age of the house.

I agree with dungle6, whose comment is now dead. I say screw them and don't pay. Ignore collections for a few years and don't be a wuss about your credit score. Problem solved.

It seems very telling to me that the Standard Windows Desktop is generally considered a wasteland of discarded program and file icons, basically where you throw your digital trash...yet iOS decided that this was the design they wanted for the main start page of their OS.

No wonder there is such a divide among users. I don't think age has anything to do with it though.

That sounds ridiculous to me.

Do you use a paper towel so that you don't have to touch the door handle on your way out of the bathroom, too?

I'm guessing that water in San Diego is the absolute stalest you can get in the US. The water San Diego receives is either piped over the mountains from Arizona or comes from way upstate...after Los Angeles has their pick.

There is no doubt that it is not good water. It is so high in salt content that the avocado growers complain about using it. If all you're doing is trying to stay alive then by all means, drink up.

If people were at home when the quake struck it doesn't seem unlikely to me that only 1 in 100 would be in the immediate vicinity of their phone. (Maybe 1 in 100 is a strech, but 1 in 20?)

Who carries their phone in their pocket at home?
