I'm sorry,
The "I COULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED" reminded me of the one non-purchased item I could not have survived without this song.
Warning; not all people will be amused by this song as it's got some rather morbid humour.
I remember one rather sleepless (night+) morning and then the 5 month old's not wanting their morning nap, the 3 year old being sick, and all the bouncer/swing batteries being dead.
I was rocking 2 screeching children with my feet (for over an hour) and breastfeeding another while trying not to cry and this song reminded me it wasn't all as bad as it seemed in the moment.
As an atheist & parent whose child will be starting kindergarten this fall this makes me thankful I don't live in a community that this happens, but also angry.
It is absolutely ridiculous. This is what private schools are for. How is this even happening in a public school? It is unfair to non-believers and to people of other faiths.
I agree with the PP about the history of religion, but all religion, not just Christianity. I'm sure you meant that with your statement. As someone whose taken classes on world religions & having earned an MFA degree in Fine Art I have learned a ton on the history of religion. Western art up through the last century or so was almost exclusively tied to religion. The history of religion is both fascinating and horrifying.
This though. Specifically a "Bible history" class is biased and I'm sure is just a ploy orchestrated by the owner of Hobby Lobby. Sad.

I'm not a great fan of Apple either. My husband is an Apple/Android programmer so he takes care of all my technological stuff which is a blessing because while I may be in my 20's I have the technological skills of my 70 year old mother.
Generally speaking my biggest complaint with anything Apple (from the laptops to the iphones (we've had several of each)) is the batteries never seem to last past 3 years. I'm not sure if this is the same as all such devices, it's just been my major gripe since you tend to pay far more for apple products.
Other than the battery lives, I give most apple products an okay (they are very user friendly for the people (like me) who have no skill with anything electronic.), especially since they started having the right click button.
Well, that makes the decision harder. Get new phones now and have tech envy in a couple of months when the 805 comes out, or wait. It's good info, either way!
Thanks for asking him, Julie, and please thank him for taking the time to answer.

I COULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED without a bouncy seat or a swing, these are especially helpful on the sleepless gassy nights; those two items were the most used things I had when my daughter was a baby. She also had a bear that lit up & played classical music that she loved, I haven't seen them anymore I bought hers at K-mart when she was little.

Checked with him via email... The big advantage of the 805 is that it's capable of handling a 4k resolution. The Galaxy S5 has a 2k resolution (300ppi, same as an iPad retina, I think), but a 4k resolution would theoretically be about 820 ppi. It's still WAY off, but it's got a LOT of capability, and it should at least have the battery life to match.
The other big change is that memory bandwidth will be doubled, which means about a 15% speed increase in CPU-intense processes (switching between tasks, etc.) over the 801. That should theoretically enable it to handle 4G data speeds of double what's currently available, so there would be a lot more room for expansion.
Overall, the jump from 800 to 801 isn't much, but 801 to 805 is going to be a MAJOR jump. :)

I'm an Apple fan, but actually just got my 1st iPhone. The only big plus I've noticed so far, is that it interacts well with my other Apple products. A top of the line smartphone is going to be pretty good no matter which one you get IMO.
I have noticed with my Apple computers that they last and perform at a high level for a longer time compared to windows computers I have purchased (plus less annoying updates). I haven't owned the iPhone long enough to say if that is the case with their phones as well.
You will always have to take reviews with a grain of salt because of the hard core Apple fanboys and the hard core Apple flamers. They definitely bring out extreme love and hate.
Ah, very cool. Since your husband is a developer and all, does he think it's worth getting a device with the Snapdragon 805 chipset, or will the 801 be plenty?

Yeah, the Note would be too big for the husbeast, he needs something that's shirt-pocket sized. He's absolutely over Apple, especially after this last update, and will be getting an android based phone this time around.

Thanks for all the replies so far, guys. Anyone with or getting an HTC One who wants to chime in?
