iPhone v Android

Why is there such a huge fight over whether iPhone or Android is better? Don't they both have their place?

 

People get into a big argument over which is better iPhone or Android. iPhone has a close system. It's clean, safe, and Apple has tight control of the application approval process. No Malware gets in. None.  Period. It's incredibly intuitive to use. It's not very adaptable and you can't tinker with it.

 

The Android is an open system. It's slick, adaptable, can do many things that the iPhone can't do. There's no one controlling what apps you can put on the system. You can tinker to your hearts content. Malware has already gotten in. Due to its adaptability, it's not as intuitive as it could be.

 

Both phones have their places. Ether phone could be considered state of the art in cell phone technology. And each is pushing the other to improve. Which is better is dependant on a lot of things. When choosing one, you must consider what you need the phone to do, what you would like the phone to do, and what you think of the carrier that offers the phone.

Alergies

I never used to have allergies. It's only been the last 10 years that they've been bothering me. That being said, this year is really bad. I'm having a horrible time trying to breath through my nose and I'm getting massive headaches. I count myself lucky, however, that I can still effectively treat my allergies with over the counter meds. My father's allergies are so bad that he's on prescription meds at greater than the recommended dosage. At the rate mine are getting worse. I'll be just like my father when I get to his age.

Doggy Bone Is A USB Hub

This could be very interesting.

via Yanko Design by Radhika Seth on 4/13/10

The SMART • E is a smart USB Extender that saves you the embarrassment of pulling out the wrong plug out of the hub. Imagine losing out precious data or function just coz you pulled the wrong plug! How lame!

The practical dog-bone shape diversifies the sockets to the four ends and keeps the wires under control. Hopefully this won’t stay a concept for too long.
