The keep asking me to upgrade my flip phone.  I tell them no, not only no but hell no.
Hell, I still have a ROTARY phone (circa 1960 model). Better volume for hearing, and easier to cradle on your shoulder when your arm gets tired. I make so few outgoing calls, I have to ask my wife who's our carrier. If I ask around maybe I can get a lifeline discount on that alone. That or find a cell unit that fits my fingers.

I like my old hands free speakerphone.  I am checking into a Bluetooth system for getting calls over my hearing aids when I get new ones.

Haven't had to go with aids yet, thankfully. I suppose in the future it will become standard issue with cochlear implants to skip the ear-hole devices altogether. Can't wait for Cyberdyne to mass-produce some REAL replacement joints. Just think how far you could boot a liberal, using Terminator-style exoskeleton parts!....

You should see all the Anti-Obama, politically incorrect stuff I post for my friends on facebook.  I'm sure NSA have! 

Oh well, see ya in the Goulag!

The good news is they have stuff on everyone, and there are too many of us to start a gulag program or start targetting.

The bad news, which was already pointed out in a sticky thread on internett privacy on this forum is to kiss all oppurtunities to get certain jobs or promotions goodbye, additionally if you do get in problems with i.e the IRS, for whatever reason, they can use this additional political affiliation to hurt you further. So piss the wrong pinko off and you are basically f*cked.

To OP: If the original poster deletes his post then every comment on his status update or whatever is also deleted. It's still stored on the facebook servers however. So for example say "F*ck Obama" and then delete your comment, it still saved on your profile, its just not visable.

I have an iPhone (4S) and I use about three of the apps that came with it other than the phone itself.

I use the messaging app for my business. Other than that I like the weather app and, of course, the calculator.

The only  other app I use is the compass and level app - the most useful ones on the phone!

I occasionally look for something on the internet via their browser.
