I'ma just use the current date. Makes it easier on me. :facehoof:

Why don't phone manufacturers include radio apps on their phones anymore? My old phone, an HTC Inspire 4G/Desire HD, comes with a built-in FM radio app, and it was made back when Android 2.3 was the latest and greatest. Even now, I still have yet to see another phone with an FM radio app preinstalled.

Every day I cringe a little more as I think about where humanity's headed with what's currently going on in this world.

It'd be nice if you could transfer Minecraft PC worlds to Pocket Edition without having to go through a time-consuming file conversion.

I remember back when cloud storage became widely available, and yet most everyone still had little to no idea what to do with it. Look where we are now.

Sometimes I entertain myself by running something insanely out of spec. For example, Google Chrome attempting to load Youtube over a 1mbps internet connection on a Pentium-133 with 64 MEGABYTES of RAM. I believe I've already made another blog about this a while back.

I really wish that there was a decent fiber connection in my area, like where I lived just a year ago. Once you get a taste of fiber-internet speeds, cable providers like Comcast's Xfinity feel like death packaged in a contract. I've literally done speed tests that return with speeds reported to be slower than the ol' 56k modem I have in my shed.

Ever sit back and create alternate universes in your head for hours on end, and proceed to live in said alternate universe when you dream? Yeah. It's weird, but it's fun.

I eagerly await the day when Microsoft may release the Windows source code. They didn't say exactly when they would do it, but they said that they might eventually release it. Though, as a hardware guy, the Windows source code would probably work better off for people working with software, though if it's open-source, then I wouldn't have to scrounge for Windows licenses for my test PCs.

Floppy disks are still surprisingly useful as boot disks, if you ask me. I've got two laptops that don't support booting from usb, and both of them often glitch out when I try to boot from DVD, but PLOP Boot Manager on a floppy disk helps quite a bit.

I wish my iPhone 4s has a built in FM app...

4469433 But NOPE! They decide that we have to use Internet radio, and spend our precious data streaming music!

I'm glad that I kept my old phone, even if it is currently being held together with tape. Still plays the radio great! :pinkiecrazy:

4469439 That reminds me... I should dig out my old phone, and see what kind of goodies lie inside...

4469445 I found my mom's old flip-phone, and on it were pictures and videos of me in preschool, and my sister when she was still about a year or two old. (She's two years younger than me.)
