Accompanied friend of mine to the Sprint​ store earlier today while she shopped for a new phone. While there I played with a Lumia 635 (I think it was a 635). It's the first time I've played with Microsoft Lumia since Microsoft partnered with Nokia.

While I don't have a lot to say about the OS, the Lumia's body was so incredibly tiny. Were they always tiny? I could have sworn they used to be bigger.

They didn't partner - they sent in a butcher and he succeeded. Which is good in a way, Nokia had like 15 layers of bs middle managers.

.. who did nothing useful anyway? Many of the people found better future in new startups etc. Laying people off via Accenture was a cheap shot tho.

Nokia made their own bed when they hired a former Microsoft exec to be their new CEO. Maybe that was their long term plan altogether, to have Microsoft be the bad guys to a Scandanavian company that didn't have the balls to cut their own staff.

The 635 is a budget, low-end phone, so yeah it's tiny.  Try a 640 (the upgrade) for a much better experience.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
