I would not agree that we are WAY down the food chain but it is sad that we are not at the top:

U.S. students ranked 25th among 34 countries in math and science, behind nations like China, Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong and Finland. That was in 2009. It's gotten worse.

25th out of 34. That's "way down the food chain" in my book.

Looking on the bright side, when it’s Vertical, the people being Filmed appear Taller.

People are bugging me to get one.

But with my little $20.00 flip phone I can make calls when the rest of the group can't seem to get any bars.

Are those high tension wires in the background, so close to homes - ?
That can’t be good - -

‘I still do not understand the purpose of texting.’

We have 3 daughters within 2, 4, and 15 minutes of us. There are times when one text to all 3 saves 3 separate phone calls.

There can be a challenge after that, however, and that is after the ‘cluster text,’ I may need to then answer all 3 separately because of their questions . . .

‘____________for people who choose to use any of the non-phone functions.’

I’m exhausted reading all that and knowing how busy you must be.
My spouse won’t get into ANY of this, including using a computer - - -

I have three siblings in the other three corners of the country. When my mom was in the hospital I was able to text them updates throughout the day. It meant I did not have to interrupt their precious schedules or take any time away from them, while I spent 20 hours a day sitting with mom.

It meant that I did not have to talk to the lazy jerks.

Try a blue tooth ear bud, you’ll never go back. My youngster friends told me 2 years ago to try it, and I did!

Well, working for any level of government does increase one's chance of being a liberal - but what really makes you a liberal is the arrogance that because you work "for a city" - you cannot be replaced. You see, you gave away your goobermint mind set. It's your "tell."

Have you ever worked for a city? Hard as heck to get fired from one and they don’t do layoffs. Even guys that have been caught surfing inappropriate websites merely get reassigned. That’s what I meant.

Maybe Hasselblad should design the sensors then...:-)

No, I think that people want rectangular pics and flicks. Sensor area and installation space is too expensive to waste. Don’t see it happening.

OTOH, holding the phone horizontally seems to not happen when people are in a hurry and/or in cramped spaces. I can understand that.

You can always take that ‘portrait’ capture and edit it to ‘landscape’ if it’s too upsetting.

NO - wouldn't catch me anywhere near goobermint work. But you make my point for me - this is why most folks in the private sector have little to no respect for most of those in government. It's not reality. Incompetence is not even a consideration.

I have proven nothing for you. Your point was I work for the city therefor I am a liberal. That’s stupid.
