QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 01:12 PM) Not all Android devices are the same, not all use the same screws, either. You do realize that it's all manufacturer, right, and has nothing to do with software? Android is software, it's not hardware. People have installed Android on iPhone4's. Indeed. For instance, Motorola is not unlike Apple when it comes to being hacker-friendly. HTC is probably the way to go if you want less hardware restrictions. Doesn't hurt that they make fantastic hardware.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 12:36 PM) This practice has been going on in the tech industry for decades, nothing new here. Just buy the new screwdriver. Hex. Torx. I have them all, because different computer manufacturers use them for the same reason. A phillips head is what they "should" all be using, but they don't... People pretending this is some new Apple practice, however, is summarily debunked. Problem is only Apple has this one. It's not available for purchase.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 12:28 PM) I really don't get why everyone (nationally) is dismissing the Bears. Yeah, they've been a bit of an enigma all season and yeah, the Packers have been playing very well in the playoffs. But the Bears lost to the Packers 10-3 in Week 17 at Lambeau in a game that didn't matter to them and the Packers had to win to get the wild card. And that was with Martz calling a bizarre game for whatever reason (vanilla? try to see if you can get those 7-step drop plays to work in a playoff atmosphere before a game that actually matters?) I wouldn't be surprised if the Bears lose this one, but I think they have a great chance of winning. I can't argue with anything you stated.

Apple turns another screw on iPhone 4 owners

Don't make excuses about the pussification of the game.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 11:39 AM) Awesome football weather. Bears fans and players actually complain about that type of weather and get worrisome about injuries. (See: Vikings road game)

Zero and below zero temps here in Chicago when you factor in wind chills.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 10:30 AM) My wife, daughter and another friend are going to the Linkin Park concert next Wednesday at the UC. A friend of my is driving them in and since I'll already be here, I'm just going to me them after I get out of work. So my friend and I need something to do while the other 3 are at the concert. Is there anything fairly close? Hang out at the Cobra Lounge. Yelp Reviews

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 11:11 AM) Not a single one. In fact, it sounds to me like anyone with that name should always be wearing a sweater wrapped around their necks while playing tennis. There's a Brent that we work with that is a spitting image of Ned Flanders. He even talks like him and is super friendly and polite. Never swears. No bible talk though.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 21, 2011 -> 09:30 AM) I second that.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 02:22 PM) Also, why is your baby giving us the finger? LOL That was a random google image search.

Thanks everyone! Keep 'em coming.

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 01:34 PM) Exactly. Just trying to fit in the big ol circle jerk in here. You're just being disingenuous and you know it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 01:31 PM) That is what the first couple days were all about in here. Not really but keep trying to convince yourself that. Conservative Ex-Congressman Joe Scarborough:

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 01:29 PM) The death penalty hasn't been brought up? It has in this thread. And that isn't anymore off topic than any of the random blame game in here. No. I think he's referring to linking a completely random story about some sociopath doctor.

Well at least the tickets are free.

Yeah I know about the basics but what else am I going to need?

QUOTE (Cali @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 01:10 PM) On here? Seems like most people are fans and overlook the douchery... I'm personally a fan of his music but can't stand him otherwise.

As I've noted on here a while back, the wife and I are expecting a baby. She wants me to be involved in putting things on the registry so I'm asking for some help on must have items. Whatcha got?

QUOTE (Cali @ Jan 20, 2011 -> 01:01 PM) Finally some people that agree about Kanye. Yeah there's such a small minority of people out there that are turned off by his persona.
