The spite, hate, rage, apathy and mild irritation thread...

[Officer Bukowski]

My friend promoted a show last night that my band was booked for and two of the bands bailed at the last second and the show fell through.

We ended up just taking the bands and (small) crowd to our friends studio and threw a pretty sweet party, but my band had to backline drums and amps and I could not fucking play with this guy's amp and we sounded embarrassingly bad. Had to stop mid song and everything. It was horrible

[behndy]

good luck with your grrL's booter Sousie homie!

wait... that came out wrong.

anger = my fucking BEAT UP iphone 3gs's speaker just quit working. fucking SUCKS. the screen is all cracked to shit, but it was still usefull enough to hold on until the 5 comes out, which should be early October. but now i can't hear calls, text messages, any alerts, ALARM CLOCKS. that thing is my only way to wake up. i'm trying an alarm clock app i dl'd for the ipad, but it's not integrated into the OS means that it won't work unless i remember to launch it as the open app before i go to sleep.

fucking. APPLE. damnit. i do NOT want to spend $150 (cheapest on evilBay i could find) for a used 3gs that i'm never going to touch again in 2 months. FUCK.

[Jeff-7]

Sounds like my 3GS, the screen is spiderwebbed as hell but still works. Only issue is that the phone goes through fits of switching from vibrate to full volume mode and it's annoying the shit out of me.

[behndy]

well, this is what it looks like.....



i actually LOVE the aesthetic. even though i cut my ear a little the other day answering a phone call too quickly. but yeah, the touch screen still works mostly. i'm fine with it the way it is.... but it's like 80% useless when i can't hear ANY notifications or alarms. sucks butts.

gonna just suck it up and wait until the 5 drops i guess. depends how well this alarm app on the 'pad works. lol. i GUESS i could buy a cheapie REAL alarm clock. but that just seems.... wasteful.

I miss having a moleskin sketchbook, because it was the perfect size canvas for me. I can't draw large stuff, and small stuff on a big piece of paper looks unfinished, and I end up filling the rest with doodles, and it looks like it was only a partial idea.

[Jeff-7]

Little dirty but yeah.. pretty similar haha.

[behndy]

i dunno. i'm not an apple fanboi at ALL. i fucking hate their business practices and marketing, their contempt for the intelligence of their customers, the way they overcharge for storage options and lock you into having to spend way too much for a decent amount of hard drive space because there's never an sd card or a way to run a hdd with their products. i wouldn't have an ipad if it wasn't a gift, and it's a very nice tablet, but $700 is ridiculous.

but my phone IS a 3gs. so it's like 3 years old. and i dropped it an assload of times, concrete and tile and hardwood floors. and it wasn't until after 3ish years with me dropping it straight onto the screen about 6 feet above concrete that it finally got a shattered screen. i don't think any screens are going to be crazy resiliant any more, not if they're good looking screens, but mine was a trooper for a long time.

honestly, i'm impressed that it looked almost pristine until a few months ago when i killed it's face off. AND the touchscreen still works.

i'm kinda digging the aesthetic of cracked up screens with missing pieces now. JeffJeffJeffJeffJeffJeffJeff (SEVEN Jeffs!) - have you cut your ear on the missing pieces yet? lol. i answered too quick on a call the other day and got some blood out of my ear.

METAL.

Jeffjeffjeffjeffjeffjeffjeff's looks like a newer 4 or 4s though. I have dropped mine several times because I am starting to get all clumsy lately and nothing happened to it so far. But Apple pretty much puts looks over resilience by rule of thumb.

[bigchiefbc]

I have a 3Gs as well and cracked the screen last fall. I ended up changing the glass myself for about 10 bucks and about a half hour of frustration. Now it works perfectly, and I got one of those rubberized cases for it. I've dropped it a ton of times since, and my son has hucked it across the room a ton of times too, and it hasn't cracked since. I'm planning on getting a 4S soon, but I'm waiting for the 5 to come out and hopefully the price on the 4S will drop a bunch.

It's the only Apple product I'll own though. I've used Macbooks a ton, because my friends are all fanbois, but I just don't see how they are worth the price at ALL.

[behndy]

nope. fuck Apple. hate the company. buuuuuut... they kinda won the smart phone market to me. everything comes out for the Apple store first, and the one thing they have going for them that i DO like is the identical hardware per generation instead of like with an Android where the developers are just hoping they've tested against the right hardware combinations.

and fuck yeah. they totally care about design more than having the fastest or best gear. and then over charging for under powered stuff. not a fan.

i'm just saying, in my instance i had the bugger forever before it got fucked. at least in cellphone terms it's been forever.

Chiefy - ordered a screen and it's been laying around staring at me. my fone's getting weird and buggy so i haven't really wanted to take the time to swap the screen out. but now that i can't hear when people call i'm going to take it to a repair place and see what they'd charge me.

blegh. just wanted to limp along until the 5 came out damnit.

Not sure, but I'm thinking you've probably never had your face melted by an alarm clock?

Beh. Frustrating college shit, again.
