    Baby got hack!

    I like tight code and I can not lie
    You other coders can't deny
    That when an app compiles to an itty-bitty file
    And a icon in your face
    You get hung
    Gonna delete the cruft
    Cuz you notice that app was stuffed
    Deep in the code it's glaring
    I'm tired but I can't stop caring
    Oh, baby I wanna get at'cha
    And get a screen cap'tcha
    My beta testers tried to warn me
    But that code you got is (s-s-so so thorny)
    Ooh, dump them long strings
    You say you wanna add more things?
    Well excuse me, excuse me, 'cause you ain't no good at C

    I've seen them glancin'
    To hell with rem statements
    It's get, reset, got it goin' like VB .NET
    I'm tired of forum dweebs
    saying bloatware is the thing
    Take the average app man and ask him that
    It gotta be hacked, so...
    Coders (yeah), coders (yeah)
    Has your source code got the cruft (hell no)
    Tell them to edit, edit, edit, edit,
    edit that dirty code
    Baby got hack

    Absolutely despicable. This is a total mockery of everything the tech industry stands for.

    The tech boys are supposed to be too awkward to get near a girl, much less receive a lap dance from one. And the tech girls are supposed to be fiercely independent, indignant at the thought of being paraded around for the male coders, or too shy to show their necks in public.

    Man, a jock could totally feel comfortable at this shindig. What have we become? #yahoohackdaydancersapology

    @OCEntertainment: A wise man once pointed out that Jocks only think about sports, while nerds only think about sex. Considering that a jock has a higher probability of either receiving or administering an ass slap from/to another dude than a nerd, I'm afraid I have to agree. #yahoohackdaydancersapology

    Throw in the R.U.D.I. interface and the ability to fetch me coffee in the morning, and you have yourself a deal.

    I love the chumby, but the deal breaker for me has been that it can't take batteries, it has to be plugged in. Make room for some AA's and I'm sold, I've wanted one but won't spend money on something I can't take off the nightstand.

    @appletoad: As I understand it, these things were made to be hackable. I'm sure you could find instructions on how to add batteries in if you look around the 'net for a while.

    Edit: yep, googling "chumby battery hack" will get you a bunch of links.

    Oh boy!
    I SO wanted to want a Chumby, but over the long-haul got more bang for the buck from other devices.

    I'm curious to see how this pans out.

    This seems like the kind of RAM hog that would cause me to throw my computer out the window when it freezes up on me. Why would I want this? Who's brain child is this anyway? They should be castrated to save the world from their offspring.

    In reply to Verizon Hub Phone Review
    Can't speak to the benefits of this phone, but landlines, be they regular or VOIP, corded or cordless, are still nice to have. You don't have to worry about where you left your cel phone when you've got a phone in every major room. You don't have to cluster around a cel phone running in speakerphone mode when several people on one end want to be on the line at the same time. And if you're not running VOIP and your broadband modem goes out, you still have the option of resorting to dial-up so you can check your e-mail and stuff.

    In reply to Verizon Hub Phone Review

    The Hub is a landline slayer launched in a wireless world, where the landline is almost dead.
    I hate being the one to point this out, but by no means is the landline almost dead. Maybe if you're in your mid 20's, sharing a one bedroom apartment with a couple of people you met on Craig's List, maybe then the landline is almost dead. However, to the rest of the country the landline is as strong as ever.


    Where I see the Hub having a real appeal is as a computer replacement to all the people out there that only use the computer they have now a couple time a week for email and some light web surfing.
