The Worst Phone OF ALL TIME

Well, I completed my first-ever-completed-single-handedly NYTimes Crossword puzzle yesterday. It was a Monday, but nonetheless, I think it is quite an accomplishment. Mainly the fact that I didn't give up halfway through like I do with 3/4 of crosswords I try (and I feel that most people do the same thing).

Now. It's a Tuesday, and I haven't seen Monday's Daily Show yet, so I can't really talk about current events at the moment. I can, however, make fun of people. That's always an option.

Now, let me spin my wheel of various things to ridicule..... ooh, the iPhone. Hmm, what to say about the iPhone. People know it as perhaps the greatest mobile computer available today. However, most people don't realize that it is perhaps one of the worst mobile phones on the market today. I know, I know, you're probably all on the other end stroking your iPhones, muttering "my precious," and demanding an explanation. Well here's the explanation:

The iPhone fails in a number of departments that a 20$ cell phone can deliver in. It has a horrendous battery life, which makes sense considering that people use it for music, browsing the interwebs, watching videos, and playing games. However, you'd think a mobile computer capable of all of that would be equipped with a more powerful battery life (a trade-off from its deli-meat thinness and ability to fit in any sorority girl's skinny jeans). Another drawback is that it has a huge screen. While this may mean more meandering room, it also results in a larger surface area while the phone is up against your face, which leads to the phone getting hot, and consequentially, your face getting hot. This, in turn, causes people to use headphones which have built in hands-free mics. Which brings me to my haiku:

You look stupid when
Talking into headphones, if
There's a mic or not

You'll see them around campus. People wearing iPod headphones and talking, to seemingly no one in particular. That is because they are talking into the mic attached to the headphones. Yes, you are not the only one who thinks that they look like complete idiots. Using a Bluetooth is bad enough, but iPod headphones makes you look just plain crazed-in-the-head.

Wow this is much more ramble-y than I intended it to be.

One of my inspirations for this post. That, and seeing all of the crazy people walking around talking to no one while listening to music.
