Nothing To Say, Really...

Just showing off my "new" iPhone.

Sent from something waiting to get jailbroken.

Oh hell, I'll say more...
.
I can see what the fuss has been about with these smart phones.
I'm amazed and having a ball with my "new" iPhone 5.
.
Again, amazing piece of tech!
.
A compass,
a 3 axis rate gyro system,
email & texting,
an Earth map where I see my property and the laundry on my clothes line (wonder if there's an app that'll tell me when my clothes are dry),
it'll tell me what time it is in East Overshoe, North Dakota,
I can point it to the heavens and it'll tell me which planet I'm looking at,
I can hold it up in a restaurant and it'll tell me what song is playing,
I can poke just one number and it'll call someone,
I can set a ring tone to the "poor man's opera" (wait, not sure about that one),
it's got a light that'll light up my back yard and let me look for skunks,
I can copy/past...etc.
...
.
What on earth will they think of next?

Next thing you know you'll be able to press a few buttons and be able to here someones voice anywhere with one! That'll be amazing!

Ask Siri "what airlines are overhead right now". It is useless information but cool.

I'll see your link and raise.

Honestly, i think most of this stuff that got posted way back was real, but these days, I suspect most of it is manufactured.
