    Is that more a problem that your phone has crappy battery life? Mine charges whilst I'm asleep and lasts fine for the rest of the time. Also it fits in my pocket fine and is never …

    Is having to pull your phone out of your pocket that bad? Do you even need to look at it unless it makes a loud noise at which point you can close to defer until later? Constant di…

    Cookware has an established practical and has been with us in various forms for thousands of years so I think that's a poor analogy. The pebble demands your attention. That is all.…

    Funny :) As long as you hit middle C1 on every chord regardless of whether or not it's a duff chord or not... At least with vi, you can play one fingered and make an acceptable tun…
