Where are you now? Microsoft? Apple?
I can tell I'm missing blackberry after changing to android...
Certainly I can do some more things with Android, but the things I was able to do with blackberry where much better done than now with my Android...
Keyboard, shortcuts, voice recognition without internet available, data plans, ...
Now I got a Samsung S4 which I don't want to root and that can't get the new versions because of my carrier company...

Apple. And I loved it. Until their software quality took a steep nosedive.
I actually found my old Blackberries yesterday and got all nostalgic.

If they are still alive... probably my next phone will be a blackberry classic (or what is similar to that one at that moment).
I do miss the ability to use the phone as an external HDD, to be able to write what I want and not what my phone wants, to have a physical keyboard which is nice, to be able to select text easily (using the touchpad), to be able to read web pages without problems as the text is automatically placed to be maximized, to be able to use it's integrated dragon assistant that works without data network available, to have shortcuts... oh, and of course to be able to silence the notifications except for the calls at night...
I had an old curve blackberry which of course it's far away from the bolds and similar ones, but even though, now that I own a Samsung galaxy S4 I do miss some things...

Unless of course you think downloading it is more important than coding.
You have just been Sharapova'd.

Hmm. We may have stumbled onto the reason why it fell out of use.

I did and the waitress slapped me.

The Doodle of the day takes you to a Google "What animal are you?" Quiz.
Odd questions - or at least some odd answers - but it seems I am "You're a giant squid!You can achieve anything to which you put your mind and/or your massive tentacles."
I am embarrassed to say that I misread the final word...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You're a pangolin!
The practical sort, you know just when to curl up into a ball to thwart predators.

You have an appetite for life – as well as the ability to swallow an entire goat.
But why would I want to swallow a whole goat?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I'm amused, but $15 for one deck is kinda steep when Amazon will sell me two ordinary decks for $6 or a dozen for $15.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

But, men belong to Mars, and women to Venus.
So, who remains to celebrate it?
