  - Yeah, for me it would be, "I'll always be there for you if you want to talk or hang out" and start seeing other people. -- nm - mara Dec 1, 08:01
  - seriously. If a guy says that ... he's not lying. -- nm - loosilu Dec 1, 07:50 11
    - and it's not depression making him say that. - Epiphany Dec 1, 07:55 10

I forgot about the upgrade fee. That $280 bill will probably end up being $350 the first month. Ugh. I think they're both getting an iPhone 4. - JaxSean Dec 1, 07:13 30
- The camera's a lot better. Other things noted here -- (link) - mara Dec 1, 07:18 4
  - Thanks. I was under the impression you could upgrade the 4 to iO5 (which this article says is on the 4s). Anyone know if that's correct? -- nm - JaxSean Dec 1, 07:25 3
    - Of course. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 1, 07:37
    - iOS 5 is what I run on my iPhone 4, but I don't have Siri -- nm - Beryllium Dec 1, 07:32

    - "Siri, how do I remove this rat from my butt?" "..." -- nm - Don Homer Dec 1, 07:41 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        outsiders probably just imagine NY is overrun with rats. -- nm - Max Dec 1, 07:51

        semi related: it's sad and funny at the same time that " crackhead" is a word that prefills for me. -- nm - Epiphany Dec 1, 07:57 2
        
        It amuses me on swype when I try to write "dick" and it says - TFox Dec 1, 07:59 1
        
        ha! -- nm - Epiphany Dec 1, 08:06
        
        I use siri for "weather today" and "hourly forecast" and almost nothing else. -- nm - amanda Dec 1, 07:47
  - That's it? The price is $100 difference, so I'm thinking they don't need Siri (or the other 8gb). -- nm - JaxSean Dec 1, 07:16 8
    - We looked at this pretty extensively in the last week. - TFox Dec 1, 07:23 3
      - Yeah, this is for my two girls. I think they're interested in apps more than anything. - JaxSean Dec 1, 07:46 2
        
        Yeah, for teenagers, there's no chance I'd get them the latest model. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 07:55 1
        
        an alternative thought might be - with Siri they don't have to text - like with their hands - Siri does it for them - so hands free cell use. - And a JenBro in a Pear Tree Dec 1, 08:08
    - The 4S has a faster chip, improved camera, improved video, improved antenna, and possibly improved battery. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 1, 07:17 2

Glad to have Mara back with us - get better soon - Epiphany Dec 1, 07:11 2

the only hard and fast rule for New Artist is that you can't have been nominated for a Grammy previously. -- nm - Reagen Dec 1, 07:08 5
- wikipedia says they even changed that one. you can have a previous nomination as long as you haven't released an entire album. -- nm - mafic Dec 1, 07:22
- (which is how Fountains of Wayne can be nominated for Best New Artist on thier third album when their first two were on Atlantic fucking Records) -- nm - Reagen Dec 1, 07:17 3
  - if you're going to pick one that's utterly ridiculous it has to be the backstreet boys. - mafic Dec 1, 07:30
