    In reply to Survey: 90% of 15-Year-Olds Have Cellphone, Are Much Cooler Than I Was At Their Age
    I'd love to mock but I had a StarTAC at about that age. My mom insisted I have it since I was riding a bike ~10 miles a day to and from school in a rather bike-hostile town.


    I don't think I ever used more than 100 minutes in a month, most of them on calls from her.

    My first phone was I think at 14? I got a prepaid phone on my own. Since then I've owned a Razr, a Ericcson W580i (which wasn't that great :/ ), and now a Samsung Impression. I got a sweet deal on the Impression because at&t had a 50% off deal for all touchscreen phones besides the iphone plus it had a $50 rebate. So a touchscreen qwerty keyboard phone for $50 is a good deal to me ;)

    Laugh, laugh all you want you cold hearted commenters. But there are actually some high tech cars out there with advanced locking/security systems that CAN lock you in, and cannot be unlocked by pulling up a thingie from the inside (the intention is to prevent would be thieves from opening doors by breaking windows).


    Not that that's what happened in this case but, you know, coulda happened.

    anyone who gets legitimately, seriously no-way-around-it locked in their car... and isn't willing to break a window... needs to rethink their financial priorities

    @nutbastard: A friend of mine has a tool to break his car window should he ever drive into a lake or something. Seems kinda remote that he actually uses it, but if he does happen to drive into a lake, I think he'd be strangely delighted by the chance to finally use the thing, his fears confirmed, his life filled with meaning as his car fills with water.

    The exact second I finished reading this article, I heard the tagline from the commercial playing on my tv... "Charter, The best reality out there". Whatever happened to tv being an escape from reality, not a substitute for it?
