#11 Totally OFF TOPIC alert!!! (but I thought the heading appropriate) My wife's cell phone died and can't be fixed. She went to Verizon to have one of our older phones turned on to replace it temporarily. THE STORE TOLD HER THAT IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL!!!! ALL "NEW" PHONES HAVE TO HAVE A BUILT IN GPS!!!! Has anyone else heard about this?? The "rationale" is that they can track you if you call 911, but, the phone store guy admitted that the GPS would be sending all the time. HELP!!!! |

#6 Click, roll, squeeze and scroll. Shoot, my mouse already does this. It ain't supposed to, but it does. The left and right buttons on my mouse---which is one of the few that will work on my ancient computer--wrap around to the side of the mouse, so I'm always clicking on them when I don't mean to. Certain mouse positions and click combinations lead to unintentional selecting, cutting, pasting, window activation, and for all I know nuclear weapons launch. Hours of wholesome fun! I predict the same for this. |

#5 I was just in Hell* a couple of weeks ago, and I can tell you it was certainly warm there. Maybe they had a cold snap? * on Grand Cayman Island |
