Oof. Is it only the glass? If you wait a few more weeks places will probably start selling replacement screens, but the Bionic is too new for that stuff to pop up so quickly.

Mostly. The top part of the case is smashed up a bit too but I could live with that I guess. I called verizon yesterday and got the insurance added but there's no guarantee they'll fix it. Only other option is to send it in to Motorola for now.

That editing makes it almost unwatchable. Stay on one thing for longer than 0.042 seconds dammit.

Probably edited by Nilsson when he was on a coke binge.

Old film. Probably either sourced like that when someone pressed the button, or judging by quality its probably a raw telecine.

This video of Jeff Mangum from Occupy Wall Street is pretty fucking amazing. Actually, the video sucks, but the audio is pretty great.

When we started doing the RANDOM threads it seemed necessary...but with the lack of new threads I think obner should abolish the random threads. just sayin.
and i think i might have just been sayin this for about a year now.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

There also should only be one general discussion forum, and the rest should be done away with.

I'm sorry, but some things are perfect for the random thread...

I'd prefer everything to be melded into one giant forum as well. It might get me to see or check out shit in the other areas I visit maybe once every two years, increase the diversity of posts/posters and possibly generate more discussion. Makes sense; but we should probably generate a poll and argue about it first.

I don't want to argue you asshole!

You realize this will means the moderators will have to moderate and thus, TEARS, right?

Yeah, I've had to do that before. I only have the Motorola 1 year warranty on my phone, it's made me pretty paranoid about fucking it up.

By the way, how do you like your Bionic? I've got the Atrix which is pretty much AT&T's proto-Bionic and I like it a lot.

It's not bad. Battery life is still kind of shitty if you're using it a lot. I really should've shopped around a bit more because I kind of want the Samsung Galaxy II S, which seems to have better reviews so far.
