My boss supplies my cell phone. He asked me if I wanted the latest iPhone, and I declined, choosing instead a Samsung Galaxy Mega. 3 years later he’s regretting his decision to go iPhone, and I’m still loving my Samsung.
We android users get updates to programs on our phones—they go through our vendors who authorize them instead of the mothership over in Cupertino, who doesn’t always get things right the first time. My employer once issued me an iPhone 5 and me and my co-workers always had problems every time the great oracles at Mount Olympus decreed that these phones be upgraded, it always caused problems somewhere, from not being able to automatically restart to not completing the update in the first place. In the meantime, my Samsung Galaxy Avant has never had problems getting and applying updates.
Nonsense rhymes are pleasant, more so on a drab Sunday afternoon here in gloomy Chicagoland, where the Pro Heroes of the Working Class, the Posh, and the very Wealthy are on the verge of being eliminated tonight.
I just hope that’s an up-to-date iMirror Opus is twerking; you know, one that will talk back to him….
I only upgrade my cellphone after two years if I have any issues with it towards the end of my two year contract with the phone company I am with or sooner if the phone decides to start throwing hissy fits. I had to replace the battery and SD card on my Samsung Galaxy 5. I am debating on getting another Samsung or going with Apple or Google or which ever it out there now.
I miss having a physical keyboard on my phone. I like being able to play games and stuff but I was pretty happy having a separate phone for talking and texting with another device for games etc. And I get a lot of complaints about not being heard if I hold my phone with my ear and shoulder, I guess it bumps the touch screen and causes issues for some reason. I guess that’s why you see people hold the phone in front of them rather than next to their head these days, and I guess that makes even more sense as the phones grow larger and larger…

Out here we actually had a techie walk off a cliff into the ocean while texting. One Darwin Award coming up!

I like buying new tech, but I’ve learned to at least give it a few days for the Bugs to show up.

We love you Opus. Big nose, big butt, big tie, big herring breath and all.

Still thinking of writing you in on the ballot Opus. I’m dreading the thought of 4 years of Donald or Hillary.
