Q&A: Why did they make the iPhone screen out of glass?
Question by Wedoitjustforfun: Why did they make the iPhone screen out of glass?
It seems like the stupidest design flaw ever. You only have to drop it once and its screwed! Phone makers realise phones get dropped really easily yet they make them out of easy to break material. They are just trying to make more money out of people right? Make people have to fork out for a new one all the time or the excess for a replacement. I don’t have an iPhone but people keep telling me to get one. I don’t doubt they are an awesome piece of kit but I can’t get over that they are made of glass. Knowing my luck I’d drop it in the first week. Most of my friends who have iPhones are going about with broken screens from having dropped them and as they are students and can’t afford to buy new or get a replacement. I had a iPod that I dropped out of my college locker and that smashed. Although it still worked I couldn’t watch anything on it. I bought the case for it to prevent that from happening but theres nothing to protect the screen apart from a thin piece of sticky plastic and a lot of good that did. It kept coming un stuck, i’d keep finding the plastic loose in my pocket. I also cut my finger trying to use it. I was furious about it. I will never buy another one.

maybe its not a design flaw. maybe they built it intensionaly so that if you brake one you have to buy another one.

An infomercial for Kevin Trudeau’s Mega Memory System claimed that scientific studies of his system showed that it could help anyone achieve a photographic memory, even people with learning disabilities or low IQ’s. “Kevin Trudeau’s breakthrough techniques were developed while working with blind and mentally handicapped students,” the infomercial said. “Their recall ability increased from 15% to 90% in just 5 days,” it said, and stated that the techniques were “. . . guaranteed to work for you.” In fact, the FTC alleges, the memory system would not enable users to achieve a photographic memory, and the advertising claims were false.
To settle the FTC charges, Kevin Trudeau, who developed and appeared in all the infomercials, including the one for his “Mega Memory System,” will pay 0,000 in consumer redress and will be barred from making false claims for the products in the future.

Do you know anyone who regrets their tattoos because they got them while they were in a phase?
Question by ally: Do you know anyone who regrets their tattoos because they got them while they were in a phase?
I always hear about people regretting their tattoos because they were stupid, or meaningless, or ugly or weird or what ever else but I never because of phases. I always here of people wanting tattoos since their in more of a punk, rock, alternative, metal and i don’t know just edgy kind of phase. And I know sometimes it’s who they are not so much a phase.
Best answer:
Answer by Danny Joey
I dont know anyone personally but when i was 18 and legal for tattoos i decided to wait til i was 21 just to make sure i still wanted them. Im 21 next month and i still want 2 out of 3, tiger on my back and a design i made myself i still want but the bad thing i wanted which I’m glad i didn’t get was the crow logo based on the film. Its good to own the dvd but i now older realise it was a phase and would be going a bit too far and look geeky from my point of view. Your music tastes change as you get older, but not by much.. I decided to never get a tattoo to do with a band, not even lyrics if the band are still going, i used to love nickelback, i know right! hate them now, i mean sure the old albums are good but if someone gave me tickets now i would give them away. Once a music lover always a music lover, its fact and i heard it from someone with memory issues. If like me you like your classic rock to alternative metal (i even like hiphop, not tv stuff though thats hiphop for kids) it may be a good idea to sketch your own skull or instrument or whatever.. My mate got a bass and treble clef in one on his leg and it looks awesome! Hope i helped.. Cheerio!

Q&A: Why do they design airplane seats this way?
Question by Aida Renolds: Why do they design airplane seats this way?
The head rest on airplane seats tilt downwards forcing you to hunch your neck and head forward – it’s sooo uncomfortable! Why don’t the head rests tilt back, or at least sit straight up and down.
Head and neck cushions help a little, but why oh why do they design the chairs this way?!
Both fun and serious answers are appreciated 🙂
Best answer:
Answer by seasail
Yes that is annoying, maybe because when you lean the chair back the person behind you won’t fell like your head is in their face. Maybe they were designed for shorter people. I was on this flight once and the girl ahead of me reclined her chair all the way and I felt squashed the whole flight.

Any products similar to one I use that they dont make anymore?
Question by Meridith: Any products similar to one I use that they dont make anymore?
I loooove using my “healthy shots” cucumber balancing mini-facial cream by mark because it makes my pores disappear and my face feel soft and refreshed, but they stoped selling it so I want to find a product similiar to it.
Any kind of product that gets rid of your pores and makes your skin soft basically. If it helps acne too that would be good but I dont really NEED anything for acne it’d be nice though if it helped that too.
Best answer:
Answer by Seeya
There’s a reason why they stopped selling a certain product. They’re not selling well, they’ve been recalled because many people have complained of allergies. I’m pretty sure, they’ll turned up on eBay, and the FDA can not control online sales.
The less products you use, the better for your skin. Treat your face like your skin. Use Bath wash like Suave Bath & Body Gel, use a washcloth. Treat your face like the rest of your body, take a shower everyday or wash your face everyday.
The secret is keeping your face clean and oil-free.
Acne medication could worsen what ever allergies you have, so instead of trying out one product after another, you’re actually spreading it around. Example: ProActiv contains a known carcinogen, at a percentage known to promote skin cancer.
The FDA has called for more safety studies on benzoyl peroxide because of concern about what happens when skin treated with it is exposed to the sun. Until research can establish or disprove a possible skin cancer link to the use of benzoyl peroxide products, the agency plans to require an extra warning and directions on the labeling: “When using this product, avoid unnecessary sun exposure and use sunscreen.” and “If going outside, use a sunscreen. Allow [product name] to dry, then follow directions in the sunscreen labeling. If irritation or sensitivity develops, discontinue use of both products and consult a doctor.”

I think that stupid spinner belt sucks!
Best answer:
Answer by Tox
I think the spinner WWE Championship is cool…
…WHILE JOHN CENA IS CHAMPION!
I always thought of it as how Steve Austin had the Smokin’ Skull WWE Championship when he was champ. When he lost it, it went back to the then-original WWE Title. The same should be done for the spinner belt. It was funny when Edge won it and put the Rated-R Superstar logo on it, but Randy Orton looks retarded carrying it around.
