I love my Android phone and have mostly ditched my iPhone. But I could never let my mom use an Android. I'd spend hours on mom tech support.

Agree! MT @parislemon: It would be great if @Uber would implement a never-call-me-ever feature. Sort of defeats the one-click simplicity.I was just using Orbitz to find a flight and thought, "wtf, why does this suck?" And then I realized I wasn't using @TheHipmunk. Whoops.A message to all Britons: sixth is "six" with "th" on the end, so unless you pronounce six as "sik", you're likely saying "sixth" wrong! ;-)Tried Sparrow for a few days over Gmail on the web, but couldn't hack it. Search is too important, and it seems only Google knows how.

@jwikert The technology to produce print products is mature and cheap; digital is still difficult and expensive! Rubber meets road.@om @shervin I routinely see people who have little or no understanding of [virtually anything] investing in [virtually anything].Not that anybody asked, but the symbol "lb" for pound comes from an abbreviation of the constellation Libra, the scales.
