    Did you get the 6? I heard it bends in people's pockets but other than that it sounds good. I actually had about five cheap phones in the space of two years or something and really at £100 each ish it made more sense to invest in a more expensive phone with a better processor and better apps. I really like my iPhone 5s, does everything I need it to and I got it cheap. It's actually pre owned from Game and cost like 30% less than retail and it doesn't have a single mark on it. Some people I know have has Galaxy phones including my sister and they seem to last just over a year with no issues and then the screen starts being unresponsive but that was the s2 so they might have fixed that. I got the 6 Plus, 64GB Silver. I'm skeptical toward how common the bending is. They sold over 20 million phones before launching in China and maybe 100 (only 9 were reported to Apple last I heard, but more appeared on the internet. Even if the number is bigger, a few thousand out of millions still doesn't compare) or so were bent, and most of it was deliberate after all. Not saying it isn't possible, just saying it may be somewhat over publicized. Plus, a proper case will stop this from happening. People can say what they want but Apple really does make quality products, and they hold their value. QD mentioned it before, you can buy a phone on contract, sell it after a year or two, and have money from that sale to buy the new model on contract with some left over. Three out of the four lines on our plan were eligible for an upgrade so mine didn't cost extra anyway. https://www.goballis...x/#.VFv3ufnF98E That's the case I bought; it comes with a removable belt clip and screen protector. I had one for my 4s a few years back and it protected that thing like you wouldn't believe. After three years I sold my 4s for $280 after ebay takes their cut. Edit: I think my back order is partly due to the fact that Apple could have addressed this issue without telling the public, because huge batches just shipped to stores days ago and most of the bent phones were on release models.

    My phone is still on back order but I'll post my opinions when I receive it, should be here by the end of this month. I went ahead and bought a case already and it is definitely a big step up in terms of sizing. Also going to be able to sell my old phone so the new one only cost $99, if I sell my case I should be able to knock that down another $20-$30. Not a bad selling price for a cracked phone.

  4. Running wires isn't too expensive, or hard. Ask around local body shops and stores like Best Buy, get your lowest price and negotiate with all the places again, and keep going till you get your final price. Best Buy prices are fixed though. Example, Best Buy charges $65 for the install I had, Speedway charged $80 and they're independent.
  5. Best buy did it for $65 when I got my double din pioneer with bluetooth installed. I gave them a nice tip too cause they stopped in the middle of their lunch and did it in like 20 minutes for me.

    This game looks really interesting, almost like Spore but different in a good way.
  7. Mixed some leftover white rice with Manhattan clam chowder and it was actually really good

    What're your impressions so far? If I can get it cheap enough I'd like to try it.

  10. Looking to pick up Truce: The Day the Soldiers Stopped Fighting by Jim Murphy. Anyone read it?
  11. I'd also suggest sticking with 7. They tried to implement a lot into 8 that just didn't work. I feel the UI is weird between apps I'll never use or a start menu and tool bar that feels missing in a way. I prefer 7 much more over 8.
  12. This film looks like it'll be really good.
  13. Three liters in a gallon... $4.50 a gallon? Fuck... We're down to $3.29 now which is good considering it was like $3.80 the entire year.
  14. WAIT, this isn't the baking topic... or is it?
  15. I had so many plans, and it all started with the salmon...
  16. I have a fern I've kept alive for three years - I'm extremely proud Dickhead UPS guy delivered a tall rectangular package (wrapping paper lol) today and LEFT IT RIGHT ON TOP OF THE PLANT! Like dude why...
