I want that lock screen

There may be some new insights..but for a lot of people, this whole thing is kinda turning into a following of one person, a kind of Truman Show if you will. Of course it’s like a chronicle of someone’s life and technology, or the lack of it, but in the end you’re really just reading about the insights and daily life of a guy.

I love the verge, and just about everything that this site does, but i think there’s a lot of people that are like me – we’re just not going to read about this stuff (especially when it’s in a long format). To be very blunt, i hate TMZ and have never been too interested in the habits, interests, and daily life of celebrities, and i don’t really see how this is much different.

Why not? A lot of people did the same thing with Chrome.

That is disturbing

“Yeah, if it get’s too popular, we might raise the price.”
Doesn’t sound like the best business model in the world.

Haha, really? I would have loved to have seen the faces on some of the people in the audience that day. Like ’’is this guy seriously serious???"

Some of it is from being grown up. And some of it is because 5, 6, 7 years ago, i had very little options as far as smart phones. I didn’t want a blackberry, wasn’t down for a palm…and when the iphone first hit in 2007, that wasn’t a smartphone to be honest…

So i picked the platform i liked best, but since just about all smartphones were in their infancy, a lot of tinkering was required. I’d still do the same thing right now, albeit reluctantly, if smartphones had never progressed. So i don’t think being almost 30 is the most important factor, just that many platforms sucked back in the day.

Seriously. The argument the previous user made is one that i always here from some android apologists. I used to have windows mobile, and would have to re-flash my phone every 2-3 weeks with the newest build of whatever ROM i happened to like. Bug fixes, things being improved, new features added etc….all the typical reasons.
Looking back on it, i can’t believe i spent the 100+ hours flashing and reconfiguring my phone. I, and many other people, like windows phone and iOS because the shiet just works and it doesn’t have to be torn down all the time.
