…or opened a can of worms, whatever your favorite expression is.
Remember that Motorola Razr I bought Mr. W as part of his bday present? What happens when you give such a phone to a gamer/techie freak is that he subsequently spends weeks downloading games, music, programs, code cracks, program hacks, etc. for a freaking CELL PHONE. And our conversations dwindle down to stuff like this online just now:
Cindy: Hey, you never called me back.
W: Give me a minute i will
W: involved in very dangerous and delicate phone/computer mod
Cindy: at least you’re not DRAMATIC about it.
W: ssssshhhh!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I bet I don’t hear from him.
Did I buy him the best present or what? This is how you know you got something someone really likes — the object replaces you.
My “New every 2” came up this week at Verizon so it was time to get a new phone.. I was looking at the Razr, then decided not to get it and ended up with an LG instead. It was like the salesguy was trying to talk me out of it due to the short battery life. I don’t ‘game’ or ‘download’ anything, so I guess it’s all good. You should have installed the ‘shock’ feature on his phone… which places little (but powerful) shocks to his head/hands when he ignores you longer than you expect. 🙂
Omg. When B first bought his Motorola Q, it was just like this! Who knew you could play super nintendo games on a freaking phone/pda!? He’s better now, but I thought I lost him there for a little bit… Boys and their toys, whan can you do.
“This is how you know you got something someone really likes — the object replaces you.”
LOL…best quote ever!
Jordan – there’s a ‘shock’ feature? I wouldn’t be surprised. Phones these days. But I’d need the shock feature to be remotely activated.
PL – I know! The stuff he was doing went WAY beyond a PDA version of “Bejeweled.” He was hacking and reprogramming the files that control the functions of the phone! Did you even know phones had FILES?
Dwaine – You would appreciate that, you techie gadget freak, you. =)
I guess I should’ve been more precise on the post — he downloads all this stuff thru his laptop and then interacts between the laptop and cell (or modifies the cell via connection on the laptop) thru Bluetooth.
No, I totally made the shock feature up.. but they should have one.
They track your kids through gps.. so when they go ‘out of bounds’ you can shock them … hehe
Didja make up the kidtracking thru GPS, too? Cuz tonite at a party Mr. W was telling someone that he’s been trying to figure out how to track his kids’ cell phone thru GPS since his daughter won’t pick up his calls anymore.
