In my personal experience, from having sold smartphones, if you want one, don't go with a panasonic - they tend to have the most problems. HTC however always makes a solid product...

I have the HTC Eris. Like I said, it was great, until the update.

There was a massive hacker attack at government and a lot of large companies yesterday. That might have slowed the system down for you.

I know its criminal but I find it facinating. But some goverment and large businesses pay hackers to hack them every once in a while...

Generally that's so they can find where the security holes are and fix them. Ex has been hired to do that before.

My sister got to do just that and hack some of our provincial govt stuff recently (for work). She sent me some (probably classified) details on like how they attack the site and stuff. :lol: Hackers may be evil, but they sure are smart! :?

Still nursing the hangover from hell :S And that's almost 48 hours after stopping drinking. We celebrated Rigo's 40th and he invited several finish people. If you ever happen tu run into some fins and they offer you something called "bird soup", RUN!! It's basically very strong vodka with licorice dissolved in it. Tastes like dog from behind and it'll give you a 3 day hangover :?

A very unflattering one :S Basically it means that it tastes like something you wouldn't even wish an enemy to experience :shock: Unfortunately, men tend to drink anything after like the 20th beer :? I'm certainly still paying the price for that stupidity :?

Unfortunately, men and logic don't belong in the same sentence ;-) There's a saying in German : "10 beer are a steak and the little we eat, we can just as well drink. You just have to make sure that you don't suffer a 'meat poisoning'." I 'ate' at least 3 'steaks' and I'm suffering for it, but come the next party, I'm gonna do it again. Men are just stupid like that :lol:
