In a car, one should go hands free. The phone can rest in one's pocket,
on the passenger seat, in a cradle, or on the driver's seat in fact. Or
a sticky rubber pad for the dash.

The Apple ear buds do not block sounds necessary for safe driving, Alan.

I just gave an example to prove your claim false. And your response
is confirming which one of us is full of crap.

It appears that your correspondent believes that Adobe's only profitable
product is Flash.

Very few use it for anything more than garbage advertising or useless and
unnecessary "fancification". A website using Flash is rarely worth
visiting.

You cannot use the chip speed as a comparison of two different makes of
chip - it's completely meaningless. You can't even use it for different
generations of chip (a 2GHz i5 is actually slower than a 1.7GHZ i7).

But when I step over gum, my friends don't pick it up
and put it in my path again.

person to step in. ;-)

Yeah, and this time the name itself was sufficient to identify it.
