I wish we could see why such a seemingly simple app is 300 MB.

I think Japan did something similar to eradicate the Yakuza. To quote Hamilton (the play): "Make it impossible to justify the cause of the fight"

Live by the sword, die by the sword. The mayor blames guns, I blame African American culture with it's gang and violence-glorifying music industry.

But can we get scheduled SMS yet? Samsung has had this feature for ages...

One nice thing about 3 month summer is the ability to get a temporary job. When I was in high school I worked every summer as a landscaper/food service/lifeguard/etc. and gained lo…
