Iphone

It looks cool and i simply love it. If not for the price I would have purchased it (obviously I am a graduate student!!)

A nice review by lev grossman

A brief note I really liked
" Voice mail — you pick and choose visually what messages you want to hear — and Google Maps are ridiculously useful. The user interface is crammed with smart little touches — every moment of user interaction has been quietly stage-managed and orchestrated, with such overwhelming attention to detail that when the history of digital interface design is written, whoever managed this project at Apple will be hailed as a Michelangelo, and the iPhone his or her Sistine Chapel (Steve Jobs can be Pope in this scenario). If you're not a reviewer, chances are you won't even bother to look at the manual. Translucent, jewel-like, artfully phrased dialogue boxes come and go on cue. Window borders bounce and flex just slightly to cue the user where and how you're supposed to drop and drag and scroll them. When you switch the phone to "airplane mode" (no electronic transmissions, for use on planes) a tasteful little orange airplane slides into the menu bar, then zooms away when you switch out again. (This was so pleasurable that I repeatedly entered airplane mode while using the iPhone, even though I wasn't actually on an airplane.) As soon as my phone realized it belonged to someone with a nonsense-name like Lev, it started correcting typos like "Leb" and "Lec" to match."

Awesome one

You can take all the sincerity in Hollywood, place it in the navel of a firefly and still have room enough for three caraway seeds and a producer's heart.

What am I doing

Why do I let stupid things affect me? I just dont understand!! How to stop it man?

Somethings affect you

I still cannot understand why somethings affect me so much. I am trying so hard. I feel I was a much cheerful person than what I am now. Right now I am a guy with temper. Why? what is affecting me so much. I have to end this stupid issue forever and that too very soon. I think I know how to and will do it!!

More importantly the fact that people take you for granted and do not seem to understand (or may be do not have the time to even think) what you go through you are wasting time. Its better late than never.
