I'm looking for more space on my BlackBerry for a bunch of reasons -- if I'm roaming I don't want to pay data roaming fees. Also it's nice to be able to carry around and save large documents. 32G might be excessive but why stream my music collection when I already have it and can just toss it on flash. Of course it's helps that the BB is userupgradable with a swappable uSDHC card ;)
- matthew john ernisse
I don't even use more than 6 GB out of my 16 GB. But who knows, video capture could change the deal.

Apparently I only have 780MB left on my 16GB iPhone so I guess I do.

Trust me, I am struggling with 16GB. I tyr to keep some movies on mine. I have a large library of music. Podcasts up to my neck. My headphones rarely come off of my ears. So yeah, 32 GB is a big seal for me.

I definitely feel the limitation with 8GB, as I have a ton of music (about 150GB). With 32GB I can probably sync ALL of my 4-5 star tracks, so it's a fairly big deal for me.

When I can get 3G everywhere I go then cloud computing becomes an alternative
- Brian
all I can say is Kudos to Apple's branding/PR/marketing people for selling whatever Apple 'invent' to their dazzled/waiting fans. That's the success of branding! :)
- Moushumi Kabir
I'll most likely get the 16gb and then just upgrade my iPod (or is it downgrade?) from a 30gb video to a 120gb 3rd gen. I have a cubic shit-ton of MP3's, so even a 32gb iPhone won't do anything for me. I imagine that if I were to stock more movies or videos, it would be a big deal.
- Hookuh Tinypants
Mona, I have a 32GB iPod Touch, and it's a challenge to keep from filling it up. I watch and listen to lots of podcasts.
- ha3rvey (Hugs 50% off!)
Like in a house--you tend to fill-up whatever space you have available.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
I don't get it either. If everything goes to Hulu or Netflix or xyz service, the storage issue becomes moot. If I'm out of coverage, i.e. on a plane, I'll bring a Touch or ZuneHD.
- EricG
@EricG I don't really like carrying a ton of crap on me, I didn't buy a $400 device to have to buy a bunch others to lug around. I imagine that's why phones these days do all this crap -- most people feel the same way. Of course if Apple supported uSDHC or something the point would be moot, you buy the device and then however much memory you need ;)
- matthew john ernisse
when mobile networks can be there 100% of the time maybe, until then local storage will win every damn time. Tell me, do you get 3G access every time you try to access something? And how much worse will that access be when everyone is streaming their video and audio across it?

My issue with this? Do you know how many people, famous or not, would keep their clothes on if Photoshopping away their imperfections wasn't an option? We would have completely different mindsets about self-image and nudity. This could make for drastic changes in how our entire society operates.

I guess I'm surprised that most people don't already know this type of "retouching" is not only normal, but expected. Cellulite, stretch marks, dark circles under the eyes, blemishes - everyone has them - and they all can be "corrected" within minutes or hours.
- jbrotherlove
...which is so totally *wrong*
- Rah-PM 2012
Before 'shopping, there was airbrushing; before that, the flattering choices of portrait painters. But the amount of retouch visited upon perfectly attractive individuals has reached new levels of absurdity. Seems like we could draw the line closer to reality. Of course, this particular photo is about artifice from the getgo. I'm speaking more generally.

Apparently geek cred isn't good enough and they want to be more. While alienating their core audience.

Their core audience was already alienated. I mean geeks love aliens, right? You're groaning, but it's my nature. See #1: http://blog.wired.com/geekdad...
- Kevin Fox
That reminds me of why is WWF on SciFi?
- Araceli
They're doing this precisely because a lot of their content isn't strictly scifi (and hasn't been for a long while). Also, it's easier to branch out into new sub-brands with the new name, eg. SyFy Kids.
- Paul Wilcox
Araceli, as far as I know they have late night wrestling on Sci-Fi because, frankly, it pays the bills.

After Battlestar is off SciFi I'll only have Dr Who and I can torrent those months before SyFy (yech) get around to them. Terrible move.
- Ernie Oporto
from Nambu
Press release (http://scifiwire.com/2009...) says, "By changing the name to Syfy, which remains phonetically identical, the new brand broadens perceptions and embraces a wider range of current and future imagination-based entertainment beyond just the traditional sci-fi genre, including fantasy, supernatural, paranormal, reality, mystery, action and adventure."
- Stephen Mack
So it's still pronounced Sci-Fi. I can see why they want to have a name they can trademark. But no one seems to like this.

Translated: We want to show more wrastlin', MMA, and other baseline, lowest common denominator entertainment cause all yall's too stupid for real sci-fi.

It sounds kind of different, but it isn't really, because we want to keep our core audience, but not really, cause we want to branch out...I swear to god, if this is Ben Silverman's idea, I'm going straight to NBC Universal and punching him in the face.

Its a shame a la carte programming will never catch on among the cable companies, because SyFy is definitely a channel I would be getting rid of.
- Jonathan Hardesty
syfy.com states the new naming "creates an ownable and extendable brand for the future." This actually makes sense. 'Sci fi' is too too generic a term to receive trademark protections as they venture in to new areas, so they had to come up with something unique. I don't like what they ended up with, but I understand why (and how, since at least this change is only a visual change. The linguistic name stays the same.)

What troubles me is the one-reporter-does-it-all approach. I don't see how news reporting will be better when a reporter has to worry about getting the photos and video at the same time as reporting. I think it'll degrade the quality of each facet of the story.
- Alan
99% of news organizations are not going to be able to spend the amount of money that they spend on personnel today and maintain profitability in an online only version. The money from ads will not support even their labor costs, let alone their offices, expense accounts, etc. Online news ventures will have to massively slash costs to stay online at all.
- Thomas Hawk
Reporters will need to become photographers, videographers, editors, etc. work longer hours and harder all for less money. News will increasingly skew towards high page volume stories. More coverage of celebrities and controversial subjects and less traditional hard news.

"There is something beautiful about this English breakfast, photographed by Daniel Krieger in Maidenhead yesterday morning. I feel tubby just looking at it. While the spread of yolk-popping eggs, fried bread, sausage, beans, chips, and a tomato can seem like a mess of things—plus the toast squeezes in there, "wait for me!"—it looks so clean and methodic. Krieger says it's one of the better English breakfasts he's had, but get this. One of his favorites is at Chip Shop in Park Slope, Brooklyn, which he believes actually rivals this one."

Show him how awesome digital music services and devices can be...if he doesn't already know ;)
- Andru Edwards
he's anti-consumerism. he doesn't like "things."
- Veronica
which is tough for me, because i love things (and especially "stuff")
- Veronica
What does he normally do? When my sister visited me we would usually go to the movies or go shopping. I doubt a 17-year old guy is into shopping, though.
- Michelle M
he's not boring.. he just isn't conventional.
- Veronica
Cook dinner together & play card games
- Michelle Darnell
Punk rawk... take him to a gig with Patrick?
- Simon Wicks
Why don't you drive down to Monterey with him and check out the aquarium. You'll probably both enjoy it. http://www.mbayaq.org/ I'm assuming you live in SF.
- Michael Fidler
We've actually been to the aquarium together there already! And I don't have a car... I might take him climbing at Mission Cliffs, and then maybe to the cartoon art exhibit at the museum!
- Veronica
I flipping LOVED the Monteray aquarium. One of the best things about California.
- Chris Nixon
Climbing or hiking was going to be my other suggestion, By the way you've described him, it seems like something he might enjoy:-)
- Michael Fidler
Any local sites that are creepy and/or rumored to be haunted? Every 17 year old guy I've ever known loved creepy places.
- FFing Enigma
Do you have any cute, quirky friends that he might find interesting?
- Morgan
There's a Mystery Hike this weekend at Angel Island. http://www.angelisland.org/calenda...
- Rodfather
take him to berkeley or stanford to mingle!
- Pokai
Mark: Dude! Ixnay on the icariouslyvay!

Saying your borther is "anti-consumerism" makes me wonder if he is political at all. Would he be interested in seeing sights where Harvey Milk made speaches or other movements that started in SF? But don't worry to much about it. Go to a movie, make dinner, talke and have a cup of coffee. Big Sisters rock!
- ChiliMac
Would he like the new California Academy of Sciences?
- Alan
Yea I agree with with Simon. Let him hang out with Patrick, they can listen to his Black Flag collection. I'm sure they would figure something out to do.
- Fee501st
There's a museum tour & gift shop at San Quentin -- pretty off-beat and weird. Or the Winchester House or Santa Cruz Mystery Spot.

OMG, send him to my house! No TV or vids for kids Chez Spamson!
- Martha
If weather is good, outside hikes or parks, picnic or frisbee or sports. If weather bad, inside board games, cooking together, books, music. Does he have any particular interests?
- Martha
Take him to the Mabuhay Gardens. Oh wait, it's a strip club now :)
- Richard Walker
tell him to bring old sneakers, take him bowling, in a kind of ironic, cool, retro, rebel scofflaw way, walk out with the rental shoes. cz
- John Czwartacki
Too bad the Watchmen movie isn't out yet. Actually, if you have a copy of the graphic novel...
- Jason Wong
Has he been to the Bay Area very much? A simple tour would be cool. Maybe even riding the BART under the Bay would be interesting.
- Paul Reynolds
Berkeley. Take him to Berkeley.

(talking like an android or kindle2 text-to-speech voice): i find that many that are not into stuff are into plenty of physical outdoor activities. perhaps skydiving, rocking climbing, paintball, or other action that requires expending plenty of stored atp (adenosine triphosphate: energy) would be mutually & acceptably entertaining -if not satisfactory for the current time frame allotted?
- sɹǝɥʇɐǝɟʞɔɐןq
Might be time for a little reprogramming. All you'll need is a reclining chair, some duct tape, eyelid holders, eye drops and a bigass TV... But if you don't want to go through all of that Berkley sounds like it has promise.

Punk rawk? Take him to 924 Gilman: http://www.924gilman.org/
- Jeremy Brooks
@Jeremy Gilman, brilliant pick
- adolfo foronda
go on a walking tour in SF, visit the cool santa clara flea market. Alcatraz, mountain biking, hiking, go out to the wetlands in mountain view, that park is neat

Does anyone still use a 'landline' telephone. I'm thinking of switching to VoIP for home telephony. Any thoughts?

We have been a cell phone only household for a few years. We haven't missed a landline at all.
- Michelle M
I can't help you. Our landline phone gets its service from a traditional phone company. I am not trendy.
- Ontario Emperor
from fftogo
We do, but we use VoIP. The only time it's been difficult is when the cable cuts out and we forget to pay our cellphone bills.
- Anika
Yes, because we've had the same number since I could remember. Plus, I still worry about power outages.
- Rodfather
We have a house full of cell phones--that should suffice during a power outage/ earthquake (I think...). I would keep one for DSL--currently we have 2 landlines w/ long distance plans and it seems like some money is being wasted.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Emergency use is the main reason I've held on to my land line. Cell networks will be overloaded, cell towers may go down/lose power. Also, land lines are tied to your address, so anyone calling 911 from your phone won't need to know your address to get help quickly.
- Alan
We have a landline here.
- Grant Bierman
Haven't had a real landline in what feels like 10yrs...got Vonage when it was still pretty new
- Rah-PM 2012
We had a landline in Las Vegas for the security system until we moved (about 6 months ago).
- Michael R. Bernstein
I don't have a landline any more.
- Morton Fox
I would certainly keep 1 landline for security system/ DSL & emergency services. I appreciate everyone's input. My real goal is to do cut my household overhead costs. AT&T Dish, 1 landline & possibly 2 long-distance plan are earmarked for the chopping block. These are all AT&T products and I'm only too happy to do away with them.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Thanks Chris--I would never have jumped on-board this all-in-one plan either. It snuck up on me piece by piece over a 6 year period. Time for a shake-down. I'm not contracted into any of it (anymore).
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
i have to have a landline for the ADSL (no naked internet available here yet) but it's not plugged in. I use my cordless skype phone for phone calls. and occasionally the mobile, usually more work related

are they still trying to axe saturday delivery?
- Erin @queenofspain
The price of postage is killing me. I'm begging our stuck-in-the-80s clients to allow me to send them PDFs of our invoices. Still no go. I have a pack of invoices here to go out, that's going to cost me $5. I already sent these same invoice for the same price in Nov. and twice in Dec.
- Anika
Can't say about Saturday deliver Erin. Here's a table: http://www.usps.com/prices...
- @CrystalinaB
Anika, your client needs to shapen up and be more responsible in the accounting side. Thats what $15 dollars? It adds up.
- @CrystalinaB
Shouldn't prices eventually go down when demand goes down?
- Alan
Forever stamps are cheaper (by not that much) at Costco.
