I think a lot of people who buy Macs are the opposite of hardware geeks and case modders. I bought my MBP because I got tired of dealing with hardware, picking out parts, etc. I just wanted a nicely designed and built computer that let me d

Hey Vincent, thanks for the questions. 1. If that becomes the case, we'll be rich ;) 2. Do you mean because you're running to catch a train? Usually I find myself pacing back and forth not knowing where to stand. 3. The data for this app is

Glad you like the idea! Hopefully we will get one in future versions. The MTA has some weird licensing for all of their trademarks so we'll have to work it out with them ;)

This is such a joke. I can't tell what is sadder, the fact users have been messed with so much that its "something nice" that at&t is gouging more money from them for MMS (its usually the same price of sms on every phone) or that at&#38
