Saying that we should stay away from the cake conversation. However I must say you're cake you got for you B-day was awesome!
A what??
It appears to be the 32GB version. People don't seem too impressed with the pricing in general from the comments on that article I posted.
I won't mention Obmacare...
I tend to agree with martinmc78 in regards to effective government. I don't think one really exists.
Those people are the scariest people I've ever seen. Honestly, you'd have to be a moron (and I know there's a few of those in the US) to vote for someone like that.
My birthday will be soon. I won't get cake, and I will probably spend my day alone at home.
However I got an preceding cake last weekend, and I told all my friends I'll invite them in spring as I don't have enough space for everybody. And I'll do something with friends the day before and the day after. So I'll probably cope.
Birthday alone sucks. But just like Christmas, it's just a day. You can always celebrate before / after.
All I will say is that the Obamacare idea is good, the intent is good, but the execution is TBD. Americans just hate being told what to do and will often pick an evil over a good choice just because they detest the urge of being told what to do a lot more than the choices themselves - see the Tea Party.
Dang they are coming out with good phones .....now I'm having trouble deciding on my future phone .....I would like the 1020, but I like the 925, but I also like the 929 on vzn,but I like the 928 also......gah to many good phone out right now
the 929 looks really good in those renders. I'd actually own one as my one all-in-one device. I still want a 1020 but would settle for a t-mo 925 on a cheap price...

My post inspired me to ask just my favorite friends over for dinner. Maybe somebody has time ;-)
I find the idea of caring for those who need it as 'being told what to do' very odd. I never understood the US medical system. It baffled me continuously the whole time I lived in Canada.
The short version is this. From a historical perspective, there are 2 schools of though in the US, especially among the privileged. One group says that it is up to the individual to make his own way. He doesn't need help from the government when there are hard times, he doesn't need anyone telling him what to do as he will make it based on his own efforts. This is the slop the Tea Party and generally speaking, the Republicans follow philosophically.
Another group says that not everyone has the same breaks or opportunities and everyone would have access to help whenever they really need it. This country was built in all collective efforts, even by those the system excluded. Let's take care of everyone by creating an equal opportunity. That's the Democrats (generally).
There are pros and cone to both approaches. These baseline views play into all aspects of US culture, especially in the fields of healthcare and the economy. What's really needed is an effective mix of both approaches, especially once race/ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation and class get added into the mix. Make no mistake, all the Tea Party folks seen on TV are well off - the upper crust. While you won't see the poor/disadvantaged Tea Party faces on TV, you will see them out voting in force on policies that may hurt them directly just to hold ranks cuz they like the rhetoric.
Sorry folks, not trying to talk politics here, but when one studies the idiosyncracies behind policy in the US, it fascinates and repulses at the same time...
What you want is currently called the 1520, sans the 32GB internal storage. The 1020 doesn't have wireless charging built in. you wont see apn setting for VZW phones for a while because MMS (which includes group SMS) is still sent through their CDMA radios. That's why i sold my 8X and got the unlocked model instead because i get a ton of MMS.I would too like the 925 but I would like the 32 gb version also I wish the wireless charging was integrated but I like the 1020 for awesome pictures and bragging rights but the 928 because it has everything that I want but its on vzn and the also the hassle of finding the right apns to work on T-Mobile and as for the 929 its even better than the 928 but it has dual LED instead of xenon flash but the thing that I would want for my forever phone would be the shape of the 925 a 32 gb version with mico sd slot with removable battery with wireless charging intergraded ( like my 810) and a Xenon flash .....if only that were possible
I do know the tea party sucks, but this is not all of the Republican faults. There are many problems with ObamaCare, as well as with benefits, but so far, ObamaCare has been a disaster.
