Айфон — хикки-девайс. Я так и не нашёл программ (потому что особо и не искал) чтобы включать/выключать Wi-Fi/3G с home-скрина одним нажатием1, поэтому постоянно бегаю в настройки. Последний открытый экран которых, внезапно, сохраняется. И если, тыкая Settings, я вижу перед собой
То это значит, что я молодец и последний раз пользовался айфоном дома. Это всё по-уродски, конечно, но хоть на улицу не выходил. Если же на экране будет:
То всё ясно: социоблядь, в трамвае скучно стало, в твиттер зайти решил. Даже настроение как-то сразу хуже становится. Но если же
Да ещё и несколько дней подряд... Вот тогда всё очень хорошо!
Почаще бы вспоминать про идею о том, что по-настоящему важными для нас качествами вещи мы наделяем сами. И если смириться с необходимостью следить за своим внешним видом, быть разносторонним человеком и интересным собеседником, позитивно мыслить, хорошо учиться, строить планы на будущее и фотографировать ночной город для того, чтобы нормально работал мобильный интернет2, то айфон — отличная игрушка, которую абсолютно не хочется продавать. И не буду.
I have no idea why some people feel it's so important to check their email when they ought to be having a life. I left my computer at home.http://kenrockwell.com/trips/2011-10-yosemite/index.htm
Here's a fast legal tip: I haven't had a real job since 2004 before Steve Jobs and his portable wonders largely eliminated most of the free world's ability to concentrate on where they are and what's around them instead of their darn smart phones in public, but I have a sinking feeling that some people are illegally being asked to check work email while on vacation. If your boss insinuates that you are responsible for checking email, even if you "enjoy it," you are entitled to at least two full hours of pay for each and every time you check in, even if it's only for a moment. Check mail twice a day, and you're due four hours — a half-day's pay. If you're on vacation and check in each morning and night, you may not be charged more than a half-day of vacation each day. Let's face it: for most people, so long as you check email and send in reports, you're doing all your work. This is also why your job is moving to India, and why if you're in India, it's moving to Bangladesh or Laos.
In other words, if the boss expects you to check mail and you're gone for two weeks, you shouldn't be charged more than one week of vacation time. Slavery was never abolished; technology and credit now let rich people enslave the rest of us far more profitably than body slavery ever did.
If you're on salary and not being compensated for reading work email while on vacation, you're a cabrón. Don't do it, get a life! Likewise, wasting hours emailing friends and family pretty much eliminates hours each day that you ought to be enjoying. Friends can wait until you get back, or next time, bring them with you.
It was amazing how many zombies were all over Yosemite, entranced by whatever was so wonderful on their smart phones instead of what was around them. When your attention is off in cyberspace staring at a screen, you aren't alive, but you're not exactly dead either. You are the undead, a zombie. Smart phones make dumb people. How is it that zombies would rather type on a 2" screen to other unseen, unheard and unfelt zombies than talk to real people around them? In Yosemite one meets others from all over the world with an astounding range of experiences from which to learn, while zombies would rather type to unseen facebook zombies they don't even know. At least windows-based devices never worked well enough for people to use them so much, while Apple makes it so simple that millions of new lives are lost to the undead every day.
Just like pepperoni, guns, television and napalm, all these high-tech doohickeys are wonderful. It's all a matter of what people chose to do with them. Personally, I haven't owned a television since I was 9 years old. I'm not very smart; the only way I've been able to accomplish anything is by applying my limited mental capacities instead of watching TV all day and night. When I got one of the first portable phones back in 1991 they were cool: when the boss called, he thought I was at work, while I actually was out screwing off. Cell phones were freedom, but today, they are shackles. Cut the cord: ditch your smart phone and pocket the $150 a month.
Там когда запускаешь телефонную книжку, открывается последний использованный контакт. Очень удобно контроллировать социоблядство: если звонишь всё время только одному человеку (маме), это хорошо видно.
