The Fire That Burns Within
That's what I used to say before I got a smartphone. But it is incredibly convenient to take a picture and post it somewhere or email it to someone than having to download it to a computer first...and at least the camera on my phone is pretty decent, so it takes good pics.
The camera on my phone is much better than my normal cameras, although my cameras are pretty old and crap so that is unsurprising.

I was anti smartphone until I got one. Once I decide to do something, that automatically makes it cool.
there's probably smartphones with better cameras than my camera. it's 7 megapixels.

The Fire That Burns Within
Only 7 megapixels?
. My first camera had 3 mp, and I was jealous of people who had 4.It's funny how "only" increases every year with electronic devices.

This almost seems fake, but it's not. I'm well familiar with Sam Roberts (the interviewer) from satellite radio.
^^ Good one!
I tend to dislike Apple due to their business practices (bogus patents, questionable working conditions at their sub contractors etc), but I will admit that they make very nice products most of the time. I tend to favour Google because at least in comparison with Apple and Microsoft they come off as the kinder & gentler corporation, despite their big market share. Google seems to have a better understanding of the zeitgeist.

I hate when people get so involved in news storys that have nothing to do with them...oh how to explain this without sounding like a *****...
Currently a child is missing in the UK (why this one is so special and makes the news over tons of other missing children I dont know) and people on news websites are commenting that they cant sleep, cant eat, cant stop crying or other such over the top emotions. Now Im not completely heartless, Its really sad that this kid is missing but I have enough to worry about in my own life without devoting my time to worrying about other peoples crisises...and apparently if I dont share the picture of the kid on facebook Im a Nazi kid hating hippy..or something to that effect.
I hate that the news devoted all its time like news flash updates all the time about one or two stories...the internet goes mad with pages, memes and 'aid' untill something better comes along then they move onto that...and Im sitting there all 'Hey I thought we were helping Japan...oh Spain now is it..ok sure..Ill reblog that too I guess'

Oh god that is pissing me off too, especially the non-local volunteers driving hundreds of miles to 'help' look for her. First of all they are draining valuable police time and resources because they need to be marshalled, and secondly they just want some glory to be the one to find her. They want to be part of the story. You can see people following the live updates online with barely suppressed glee at each development, as if they're watching a juicy plot on Eastenders. It's disgusting.
And then you get the "I live just 300 miles away in a similar sized town and I don't think life will ever be the same again. My kids will never feel safe" morons.
This stuff brings out the worst in a lot of people and shows the most distasteful side of the internet.

Granted I grew up in the 70's but I miss the days when a nice full bush was something to behold, especially in men. What a bunch of delicate little flowers people have become that they can't even stand the sight of pubic hair. I watched the movie Taking Woodstock (2009) recently and I was glad to read that Ang Lee specifically chose actors who had a full bush for the nude scenes. Apparently they were quite hard to find.
Great film.
