    In reply to Verizon to AT&T: "The Truth Hurts (Bitch!)"
    If only they could eat eachother. I have a Nokia itnrigue with evrsion and I am on my third model due to a persisten software glitch that renders the phone inoperable when verizon sends certain automated messages to it, and the problem will go from model to model.
    They refuse to evena cknowledge that the error is real when I walk up and show them mine, and cases of many other people. Been going on for over 2 months. #verizonatt

    The powers at be at AT&T sat on their laurels (and our piles of cash) when we all gobbled up the iPhones with their mandatory data plans, and even paid $10 more PLUS separate messaging plans per month when the 3G came out, screwed their own employees over by making sure that - even as an exclusive wireless carrier, mind you - they had less than 5% available stock compared to their local Apple store counterpart, just so they didn't have to pay out commissions, and now they have the audacity to bitch when someone clearly shows them up? #verizonatt

    I still think AT&T was stupid to bring up this suit - because even if they win the legal battle, they will loose the PR war badly. I don't know of a single person that enjoys AT&T's service. I have an iPhone and if the iPhone was on Verizon I would switch in a heart beat. AT&T should be lowering their rates and building out their network - not focusing on ridiculous legal battles. #verizonatt

    A lawyer for AT & T was quoted as saying, "Does not!"

    When reached for comment, A Verizon Legal Team Member responded, "Does too, infinity!"

    A judge is expected to rule tomorrow on a motion filed by AT & T which contends that Verizon broke legal protocol by not issuing a "Double Dog" dare, and are also "Poopy-smelly-heads".

    Poor Microsoft. They always looks so pathetic when they try to be hip and cool.

    Apple may be pretentious but they undoubtedly pull off cool. Everyone always wants to be Apple. Microsoft just looks like they're one of the insecure poor saps trying too hard to be one of the cool kids.

    In reply to Microsoft's New Windows 7 Ads: Colorful!
    What’s weird to me about this ad is that ultimately, all that hipness is contained on a computer screen being ogled at by a comparatively bland drone that represents their customer.

    In Apple’s ads, the Apple customer is an impossibly cool person, the message being "buy Apple, be cool." In Microsoft’s ad, the Microsoft customer is a generic cubicle dweller peaking at an impossibly cool character dancing on her desktop, the message being "buy Microsoft, live vicariously."

    More to the point, my comment just gave me a flashback to a homework assignment in freshman lit.

    @frigg: You know what is the ultimate truth?
    If this was exactly the same ad, only it was advertising Snow Leopard, there would be tons of Apple fanboys saying how cool the ad was, and even how better than Microsoft ads it is.

    I have absolutely no doubt about this.

    It's not about who makes the "cooler" ads anymore.

    @Bokusatsu_Tenshi: Eh, I doubt it. This ad isn't exactly passion-inducing.

    For all I know, nothing is going on in the ad that I can't see with Vista or even XP. Microsoft needs to get people excited about their products, but they really seem to have a tough time doing that.

    It's their News channel that I cannot stand - for various reasons. And since Gizmodo is a tech news site, Wasn't sure if it had been taken over or something.
