The iPhone botnet, coming soon to an over-priced phone near you

To clarify Nutty's statement about me complaining over the person texting during a movie, it was an old theater where there's barely any incline to the seating at all. Also, it wouldn't bother me if they just opened their phone once, but this person had their phone open for a third of the movie and it seemed to be set to the brightest setting possible. That said, would it really kill people to turn off their goddamn phones for two hours during a movie? Unless you're a cop or some other on-call worker that needs to keep it on vibrate at all times, you're a fucking moron to leave your phone on in places like that.

Texting has its uses from time to time. I used to do it at work when the store was empty if I was extremely bored, since the phone was small enough to hide from the cameras. It's also handy when trying to meet up with someone in a noisy area, though I've only had to use it for that on one occasion. It isn't pointless, far from it by Meia's example, but I still don't get why it's so popular. Typing out texts on a normal phone is cumbersome and I'd never bother if I wasn't already bored and looking to kill time. Part of the reason I got a basic texting plan when I got my most recent phone was because people kept insisting on wanting to text instead of simply calling. I know several people who've racked up massive phone bills because they use texting to essentially have IM conversations. Just seems silly to me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
