this is a great thread.

I just hate it when people use a "Hands free cell phone device" (good enough scorcho?) when they are walking around with their hands free doing nothing. Quit being lazy and just hold your phone next to your ear.

At the same time, I cant another habit that, i know its profiling, Ive only really seen the want to be gangsters or gangsters do, and thats to hold the phone next to your ear to hear, and then move the phone away so its facing you with the mouth piece in your mouth to talk. Especially because the people are already yelling.

which is really, really, really dumb!
Not necessarily, if I was hunting for a job I'm pretty sure I'd want to have a way for my prospective employers to contact me.

But still, those types of phones don't have cameras on them. Something tells me that the guy taking the photo didn't have the phone just so employers could call him back.
no, it is dumb...the government keeps providing more and more "services" which cost more and more money when the people that are using these programs, on a large scale, are abusing it...it is not the governments responsibility to be a charity

Bluetooth is a wireless data protocol. It can be used for lots of things like headsets for phones.

"A bluetooth" is a non-sensical phrase. It's like seeing someone with a laptop at Starbucks and saying "He had a WiFi."

I understand it's become part of the common vernacular, but it shouldn't have. It's wrong.

"A bluetooth headset" is a solid choice. Learn it. Use it.
I feel like you're Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory.


Just cooler.
haha, i thought the same exact thing...except I don't know him, so he might not be cooler for all I know...haha
