quail

Blackberry user by chance? I was checking out the Blackberry Q5 and it has a roomy keyboard, along with a touchscreen OS.

I've never had an issue with virtual keyboards, and in fact preferred them, but the Q5 has changed my thinking.

Q5: http://global.blackberry.com/smartphones/blackberry-q5.html

Wow. Thanks for the link. I love this mobile version.

From you. You need to make your news objective by staying out of filter bubbles and referencing multiple sources.

I went with a Blackberry Z10 after reading about its built in encryption and privacy features in the book Cypherpunks.

As an aside, I checked out the new Q5 yesterday and it has refinements in all the right places. Both are highly underrated smartphones.

Google is getting pushy now because they can. They've become habitual and omnipresent. Now is the perfect time.

A couple of years ago I could see Google's vendor lock-in strategy unfold. I've been trying ever since to completely purge myself of Google, but it hasn't been easy.

For anyone thinking of doing the same, be prepared to test many services out.

Obama continues to push hard to steal what little privacy rights US citizens have remaining. He is openly hostile about it, and lies about it constantly.

Am I exaggerating here? The scary thing is I'm not. He's not done. It's going to get worse.

I did research this topic and recent studies show insects DO feel pain, and unlike you I have a citation to back it up: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867403...

They can't feel pain? You have a citation for that claim?

If the crickets are "slow roasted" alive, that is cruel (and alarming) although I certainly hope and would think this isn't the case.

Anyone have any clarification?
