Robin Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Or it would be if you were stupid enough to run an Android with all the bloatware which comes with it. Root that shit and set it up yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 @DrNova:> Because most people have the skillset to do that kinda thing, of course.Yes, but most people don't need a smartphone at all. I'm not sure why they're so widespread. If you're going to spend £300-400 on a hand-held computer you'd better use it as a computer otherwise it's just another over-priced Facebook machine. If that's the case a bit of logging software isn't going to cause you much issue. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrNova Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I have a 30 dollar Net10 pre-paid and it rocks my socks. Last thing I need is a phone that can tempt me to spend money on apps I dont need or really want anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't believe how many spoiled little girls are running around my school showing off their pink iPhones that they only use for Facebook.Those same little girls have a $1800 MacBook that they use for Facebook too. I also have to explain to these idiots why it is a complete rip-off to buy a MacBook, to which they respond something along the lines of "But maks r bettr!"./rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Comnena Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 One thing I hate about the OWS crowd is that they sit there with their facebook and smartphones ranting about how downtrodden they are. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys have no ducking idea how it is to be poor.The Occupy crowd in general is a huge group of people that truly don't understand economics. The corporations will never change unless the government takes away their political rights to lobby and pay off the Senators and Congresspeople. Standing outside a corporation won't do anything– standing outside a government office will.ANYWAYS...Can someone please tell me some other alternatives to this Android and iOS crap?

DrNova Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Thats not ironic, its just neccesary. Social media is neccesary to help sustain their cause.Sometimes you have to use the system to beat the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kender the great Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Big Brother is always watching. I don't know why people would freak out about their phones being logged. I'm sure there are scarier things going on behind the scenes that we don't even know about. For fucks sake, our names don't even mean anything. We are a number of a system.

It's impossible living in a world without corporations. Hell, they're not even protesting against them. They're protesting the fact that the rest of the country has to take the blow for the people who screwed over the economy.Still, most of them have absolutely no idea what true poverty is like and the mob mentality really shows just how stupid most of the population is.
