Is it just me, or does the flash player have last weeks episode?

[myriam Posted Jul 31st 2010 8:36PM]

@koud thanks - fixing now.

[nonexcludable Posted Jul 31st 2010 9:08PM]

@koud not on itunes yet either...

[nonexcludable Posted Jul 31st 2010 9:09PM]

@nonexcludable RSS at all, i should say.

[Chris Ziegler Posted Aug 1st 2010 1:13AM]

@koud Sorry y'all, fixed!

[glenskey Posted Jul 31st 2010 9:12PM]

I think there must be a connection between Chris' robot voice, and Myriam's reference to the Borg when talking about android a couple of weeks back. Hmmmm..

[koud Posted Jul 31st 2010 9:24PM]

my backup phone actually is the moto f3 :) if some day my acer liquid would die

[myriam Posted Aug 1st 2010 1:25PM]

@koud I ended up picking one up on eBay.

That Lego phone was with Alcatel.

I tried activating my unlocked iPhone without a SIM, but iTunes told me to insert a SIM. Therefore I activated it with a Rogers SIM inside the iPhone. Does anyone know if this would lock the phone?

Why does this 'Myriam' person sound like a guy?

[myriam Posted Aug 2nd 2010 2:27AM]

@Xenon Because I do. Not everyone sounds the way you expect them to sound. I suggest you stop asking inappropriate questions unless you want to taste the ban hammer.
