Wow. I tried to dumb it down but when I lost everyone two minutes in I just let go... turns out there's really no simple way to explain the toast method command by command in under ten minutes. After the first two minutes I stopped dumbing it down and I don't think I've ever seen people so confused before. So much for my demonstration speech. The 20 powerpoints of terminal commands probably didn't help...

How dare she say jailbreak after your whole speech on rooting.
Should have responded with "You don't captivate me but I'll still give you a root."

But I actually complimented the guy. Mr. Broseph Stalin up there says that OP was not a ****** today.
you know, people always ask me why do you root your phone? And honestly, its hard to justify it to the average user. "write access to the whole system" just doesn't resonate with average people
Good job! I can relate to you "losing" everyone in the class. The other day we had some down time at work so I hopped on XDA. Of course the different color computer screen caught a few of my coworkers attention. Luckily they were android users, though I would hate to have their phones (Hero, My Tough 3G) lol. Anyway, long story short I had to explain what XDA was and why it existed. Why/How to root, and all that good stuff. By the end of my explanation most were lost (It attracted half the room). I didnt talk for more than 5 minutes, so I can imagine what the face looked like on your classmates! lol The guy with the Hero wrote down XDA and a few threads I showed him on making his Hero better. Gonna be interesting to see what he did, if anything, over the weekend. I may have a side job

Most people don't care about phones. When I had my palm Pre people would ask if it was android and id get offended. Then I would remember most people don't care and most of the things I liked about the phone are useless features to most people so it really would not matter.
If you get upset every time someone who doesn't understand a topic well says something silly you're going to have a heart attack at 30.
Rather than getting your undies all bunched up, take it as an opportunity to show off something you enjoy and educate her a little.
Heck, she may not even care about the phone and was just looking for an excuse to talk to you. If she's cute, tease her a little, show off the phone, give her your phone number in case she has any more "phone questions."
Offer her a fresh and delicious knuckle sandwich. If she declines, donkey punch her.

i think the tone of his reply was in response to your own smart-ass "magical" camera app comment, so maybe look in the mirror before posting yet another rude comment, eh?
That was because of me not reading it properly, if he had handled it right there would not have been any reason for his tone, if he had said maybe you should read the over instead of being a smartass, I would have handled it better, I admit after seeing the full post yes I came off like a smartass but only because I didn't read the full post. Don't get on my ass though for messing up on something that I thought he said this is between me and him not anyone else.

If I'm understanding you correctly, I agree. I think 3D is the most pointless 'innovation' since the cable card. Heck watching anything 3D makes my wife vomit and gives most of the people in my family headaches (I don't have either of those but I think its pointless). With very few exceptions, 3D is used as a gimmick. A hand pops out of the screen and wooshes over the audience. Does it look cool? Sure, but it also serves to immediately remind the audience that they are watching a screen. As an actor that just bothers me. The point of watching a movie/TV show/play is to be wrapped up in a story and a good one should make you forget you're watching anything.
Avatar is the only movie in 3D I've seen that I felt did that to a decent extent and even then there were still a few moments in there that just made me feel like they were shouting in my face "LOOK WHAT WE CAN DO!"

So I assume this has something to do with P3Droids comments on Verizon "tracking" rooted phones right? (dude deleted the original post)
If your going to read into things like these, you have to keep up with them. If this guy would have, he would have known that Verizon currently can't actually see that your phone is rooted.
They HAVE implemented a way to see if your tethering in the new GB release. I think this is 100% acceptable for them to do. Period.
As for getting an iPhone. I'm not going to sit here and bash the phone. I may not like it as much as I do an Android phone, but everyone must admit the iPhone has some pros, like battery life. Everyone I know who has one has amazing battery life. This goes for Apple computers as well. Apple has it right with batteries.
Anywho, just thought I'd put my two cents in.
I guess the OP wants a phone that can't multitask and doesn't even have wallpaper. Good for him.
