Damn, I Knew I Should’ve Kept the iPhone…

August 11th, 2010 Perigil No comments

From an OKCupid article:

oh, also—iPhone users have more sex.

File this under “icebreakers, MacWorld ’11″. Finally, statistical proof that iPhone users aren’t just getting fucked by Apple:

The chart pretty much speaks for itself; I’ll just say that the numbers for all three brands are for 30 year-olds, so it’s not a matter of older, more experienced people preferring one phone to another. We found this data as part of our general camera-efficacy analysis: we crossed all kinds of user behaviors with the camera models and found we had data on the number of sexual partners for 9,785 people with smart phones. We dropped what we found into Excel, and voila. Here’s the plot by age:

Anyone have a spare iPhone (working or non-working) I can borrow? Haha!

Yeah! Why does “1080p” matter anyway..

Cutting the cord from Cable TV

December 10th, 2009 Miles No comments

Perhaps not something we should be seriousley endorsing since many of our incomes are from cable tv! But a really intersting article from the Ny Times. I would love to be free of the $110+ monthly cable bill (ok, $50 of that is internet) but this sounds a little rough round the edges still. What the article doesn’t point out is that you can still have over the air free network TV and even HD with an antenna. If you even have a cable drop in your home you can get free network TV though that, just not HD. You can then still use a Tivo. So you don’t have to go to Boxee or Hulu for 30 Rock, SNL  etc

iTunes season passes for HBO and Showtime series are still priced such, that if you had basic cable already it wouldn’t be any cheaper to get them then to pay for the two months or whatever of premium channels.

Anyway… intersting article.
