I think in all fairness, I should explain to you exactly what it is that I do.

For instance tomorrow morning, I'll get up nice and early, take a walk down over to the App Store and walk in and... see, if you don't have my money for me, I'll crack your fuckin' head wide-open in front of everybody in the App Store.

And just about the time that I'm comin' out of jail, hopefully, you'll be coming out of your coma. And guess what? I'll split your fuckin' head open again. 'Cause I'm fuckin' stupid. I don't give a fuck about jail. That's my business. That's what I do.

Card counting is not illegal...provided you can do it without any mechanical assistance. As long as you can keep track with just your mind, you're good. You might still get blacklisted from the Vegas strip, but they can't prosecute. Once you start using any sort of device, or a network of people (like "21") to start cheating the system, then you have a problem. I don't know if the group thing is illegal, but using a device to count cards definitely is.

Pretty sure the "No Cell Phones at the Table" rule will step in before the "No Card Counting Apps on your Iphone at the Table" rule gets you into trouble.

Hmmm, i see a lot of iPhone owners on vacation "accidentally" choking on their iPhones in the middle of the Nevada desert. The police report will only say that took a bad turn, and while dehydrated thought consuming their iphone that contains the iBeer app would hydrate them.

@vladdybear: I think he was trying to say that the cheater using this app will be buried in the desert with their iphones shoved down their throats. The gullible police will chalk it up to said people being parched in the desert and trying to 'drink' from the iBeer apps on their phones.

And that took way to long to explain....

Is there a G1 equivalent? For academic purposes only of course...
