What would they be doing? Just moving around? "Man, that phone looks like it would be really difficult to talk into!" :P

Awesome news of the day. I mean, I'm happy for you other jokers too, but...

Actually, they could sell one and buy two more, then sell those, then buy two more... Hmm. Well, it'd be a very slow return, and it's too late now. I think I know what you mean, but I'm pretty sure there's a number that I'd be a fool not to accept. I'll say three grand (USD), maybe? That's...

Indignant iPhone user: "What's even the point, then?!" Edit: But seriously, the "made by real people" angle is solid freaking gold.

Agreed. I was hoping that they'd only need pre-orders for the first batch. I would have paid $400 for something with half the battery life if it meant them being able to fund making a set of 6,000 to sell far and wide. This waiting your turn for toilet paper thing is not the best way to build...

I see a disinterested look of mild disgust that says "This is not the future I intend." He's Gothic Hi-tech (the living embodiment of it, really); the Pandora is a little more Favela Chic.

:o Ah, I see.

It's possible to filter, merge, or delete those. You could even show a screen that says "Hey I noticed you were talking about shoulder buttons, does this already existing ticket describe your problem?" My (unoriginal) philosophy is to encourage users to send me as many messages as possible...

Shame there's no video capture program, but I guess even if there was, it would affect performance?

So what you're saying is we need some ads for old people. I can buy that. Any suggestions? What do the ancient want from the Pandora?

... Oh, sorry, but your sane and rational list of features just bored me to the brink of death. ;) Informative commercials don't have the time to convey all the information effectively. In-depth hands-on articles do that much better. For an actual reach-out-and-grab-them commercial, you need...

Can't really enforce that without doing an Apple.

Admit it: that statement is only true for certain values of the word "buy." :lol:

Pretty sure relative value fluctuates according to supply and demand even when you don't have currency, much less systems of debt and investment, and that there's no such thing as an "undistorted" market outside of a text book word problem. Edit: This is a derail, isn't it. I'm doing it again...

Well, up-thread I used a word not everyone was familiar with. ;) More seriously: the situation as we describe it has only been around for a few decades, and we'd need centuries to see entire new languages diverge. But moreover, the problem is that there are actually advantages to speaking a...

I too have seen that. It looked silly! I think I'd prefer a cotton fabric all-around cap (not sure what they're called), cut into small pieces and boiled lengthily (preferably in stock, maybe with some potatoes). I will do this. It will be worth it.

Always you are using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I was distracted, in the thread on microphones, by a series of visions. I put it to you: In a world with a marketing budget, what would be the advertising for the Pandora you would be happiest to see? At the risk of revealing what a softy I am, here are the first two that I thought of, all...

Of course, communication technology has permitted people to talk to whoever they want. And on the subject of Standard future-language, English is the most popular second language in the world. It's already the lingua franca (love using that phrase to not refer to French) of India, which is...

:D
