Oxford clearly (from his spew over the past weeks here) doesn't understand ANY of the
subjects he claims to be an "expert" in....
His posts have demonstrated a number of things.
Troll? Certainly!!
Fanboy? OMG - one of the most blind to reality I've seen in a while. (see below)
"Expert"? No, the exact opposite. He showed a complete lack of knowledge so far.
Every post digs his deep 'I'm stupid hole' that much deeper.

If you actually stopped thinking that every mobile phone user is a
brain-addled teenager, you might conjure up a safe mobile 3G scenario-
i.e. the use of Google Maps, for example. The live maps/traffic
updates typically lag behind real-time at highway speeds when using
EDGE.

Show some imagination instead of jumping to a conclusion. The poster
you're calling an ass could be using navigation apps that don't
require his input while driving, or might even be a PASSENGER!
Surely you don't have a problem with my wife checking HER e-mail in
the passenger seat while I'M driving, do you?

Sorry, this is a little deviation from the actual subject being discussed.
But, again, it shows that another of your contentions is pure horseshit.
The iPhone didn't hurt Verizon one bit.
Verizon Wireless saw some subscribers defect to AT&T to get the iPhone
but the impact was short-lived, said one of Verizon's parents, Vodafone Group, on Wednesday.
Vodafone Chief Executive Arun Sarin said on Wednesday that right after the iPhone was launched
in late June, some Verizon Wireless customers moved, or ported, their numbers to AT&T.

Sorry, your "bright light" must have burnt out.
It isn't shining a single photon of truth on anything.

>>> Wrong, Drive down some hi-way and see how much Wi-Fi you get.
Ah, a mistake on your part. I consider driving while on a Cell Phone
illegal. So no wonder you are confused on this issue.

Nah, nobody should use a cellphone when driving. It should be a felony.
I always swerve into them... blast my horn and flip them off when i see
someone driving with a cellphone in their ear. Total idiots, all of them.
Women especially drive about 10 miles per hour "slower" when talking,
and this very dangerous for everyone, so Cellphones "while driving" on
the highway / and road illegal is a top priority by anyone who is smart.
It would save 4,500-6,000 lives a year.
Stupid Cellphone Companies!

And if they wreck and are injured (or worse) due to your arrogant,
ignorant, selfish actions, you'll go to jail for vehicular assault, at
the very least.

good IMHO, it sounds like you are starting to figure out what I'm
saying... "distributed" WiFi is the future... where nobody contributes
more than $5 a month for full access.
This way we can kill off the Cell companies, the Cable companies and the
old Landline companies.
This has been the Vision of Apple since the earliest days in 1976, even
before Apple was official, when Steve and Steve used blue boxes to make
free worldwide calls through the AT&T network.
We as a "people" must strive to get back to that goal.
It's coming full circle, but we only have "ignorance" in the way.
Welcome aboard "IMHO"!!!
