Apple's iPhone 6 dents Android's crown

I have one of the big black first addition iPods. I don’t use it much anymore, but it still works in a guest bedroom.

I own a 27” iMac, my second iMac, and I have never had a problem with it.

I own the first addition iPod and it works just fine....I use it every day while in the reading room.

I have a new fire breathing 15” Macbook Pro with retina... I flat love this guy.

I just bought a new iPhone 6 and I love it!!! My wife tossed her DroidX because it had a bad battery and I gave her my old iPhone 4S.... she is a very happy camper.

While buying my new iPhone 6, I managed to hang on to my “unlimited data” package on my service plan.

ANY time I have ever had a question or a temporary issue, the folks at Apple - “Apple Care” have ALWAYS been helpful, competent and professional.

I still have 3 old MS computers around here collecting dust.... none of them work.

Now, I own some very nice guns, including a RockRiver 5.56 AR. I have not had any trouble with my AR, but if Apple sold AR’s, I would have to take a serious look at their guns. LOL

After all of that, I have somehow not turned homosexual and I still hope to pi$$ on Al Gore’s grave. Oh, I am presently shopping for a new Porsche..... that should send you to your crying room.

Oh, I have never worn a “thong”, but I suspect that is something you might be interested in.

Buy what you like and can afford.... I sure do.

Does your thong cause you to chafe in front or in back?

Enjoy life ~ it could end tomorrow.

“I own the first addition iPod and it works just fine....I use it every day while in the reading room.”

Oops..... its the “iPad” that I use in the reading room.

So many Apple products that its tough to keep track. LOL

LOL.... I don’t wear them either. See 21 & 22.

One anecdotal thing I’d noticed is, people are talking about the 6, that’s the first time I’d noticed a new model iPhone generating enough interest (they’re not cheap, and we’ve been in recession for years here) to have it come up in otherwise unrelated conversation.

A lot of folks don’t keep up with technology at all — just today, I was demonstrating TouchID to someone who’d never heard of such a thing. I could see the iPhone 6 being a big draw to those folks, because big. And thin. Even if they have just a vague notion of what the similarities and differences are, they see something with the cachet of an iPhone and the size of a Galaxy.

My main phone is a 5s. When I got it last year, I kept my 4s, which I use as a backup phone, iPod and camera. When I hold the 4s in my hand. It’s still a really nice size for my relatively small hands. I suppose what I really want is a phone the size of a 4 with a screen the size of a 6. Stupid physics.

Hey, it’s Stone-age physics, like Fred Flintstone moving his feet long enough to get his car rolling and then just enjoying the ride.
