That was excellent; I'm still laughing.

But dude, be careful, that forum is a vortex. First you're just looking for information about what's in the latest beta release, the next thing you know bottom feeding teenagers have stolen two hours of your life with threads like this. I think Satan uses the handle "babyjenniferLB" on that site. And sometimes "Cassie." The apocalypse is drawing nigh.

Kind of back on topic: Competition is good, but I'm taking a cautious stance for the time being as everyone is jockeying for position. The big players seem to be bringing their A games (Android, WebOS, iPhone OS, Nokia?, WinMo?, Moblin?) and we should all be winners in the end, but Maemo 5 is still vaporware, and I think there's gonna be a plethora of new offerings by year end. In the meantime, I have plenty of skills to solidify as this drama plays out. Or maybe it's just my drama. Regardless, it's a good time for tech, but that is usually accompanied by a certain amount of snake oil. Cool heads prevail; not including Steve Jobs.
