For one brief moment, Leif Garrett was the Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync and 98 Degrees all rolled into one pretty little toy boy... http://www.laweekly.com/2000-07-27/news/leifland/full/

Maybe, but most non-OS supplied core apps are available on both platforms now, no? And their differences likely because of OS integration (assuming same resources dedicated). The OS supplied cores (often with Google or Apple ID) would be an even greater reason to not change.

Big screens for eyes. Small screens for hands. Quick question - does anyone else think the differences (OS and app UIs) is actually greater now between iOS and Android than say OS X and Windows? Having both Android and iOS phones and tablets, I'm surprised people jump across the aisle as often as they do. It's like when a slick Sony ultralight or solid as stone Lenovo T-series comes out - you boot it up and it's.... still Windows.* Maybe I feel Android is a larger UI disaster than many (and a phone UI more important), but surely you start to like one mobile OS over the other, no? What hardware spec beats that? * or Linux... and there are certainly those that prefer (or have to use) one of the three OSs to the other. Same question.

I know a few use more popular services (Blaze, etc.), but anyone have any comments on DrivePop? Not quite sure how they plan to keep the doors open with their unlimited plans, but the pricing seems right. http://dealmac.com/Drive-Pop-Unlimited-Lifetime-Online-Backup-from-50-/853785.html

This may help explain the giant phone craze... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oprUI6nupfc vidlink

In case anyone wants to watch the most interesting part of the presentation, skip to minute 70... http://www.apple.com/apple-events/september-2013/

Yeah, have to admit as much as I liked the iPhone 5 feel (especially when outside a case), every stretch of the thumb or wrap around of my pinky, to push some corner button opposite my palm makes me miss the 3.5" screens. Go big with two hands or stay with one. I have long fingers and 4" screen feels in between. EDIT: Or I guess the coders could place the interactive components within a reach range and the full-screen would be there for the eyez.

I kinda like hearing "arch, loop & whorl."
