Not sure if it's true that the battery "settles in" or if this Juice Defender app I installed is the cure. Whatever it is, it's now acceptable to me. I met you at VMworld a couple years ago in SF and work for HP. I thought I'd be coming to Singapore again this year but not so. Maybe I'll run into you at VMworld 2012.

I guess I was doing so many things with the phone: application installs, video recordings, sharing pictures and playing music. My first day the battery died in eight hours. But since I hit a regular schedule of usage the phone gets through the day. There is no way this phone would make it two days without charge. But I don't think my BlackBerry would have, either.

I went for a samsung galaxy S2 and I'm enjoying it but one thing I don't like is the battery life - it is awful! I get 8 hours on a full charge but that's it. I'm having to really watch resources to get through a day with this thing. Hey Scott, after reading your post, I decided to go for an upgrade.

I thought my program was posessed and couldn't figure out why the text was huge at size 2 and microscopic at size 1. Thank you!

Singapore is 2nd highest population density after Hong Kong I believe (although there's Macau etc. etc.)....so if we go by population density in the US, that makes it easy to come up with a list. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population_density For some reason, got thinking about this more tonight.

And my Mom would probably due it in a heartbeat. Not Dad, though. I think that’s a fantastic idea, Andrew. And my Mom would probably due it in a heartbeat. Not Dad, though.

Seriously though, why not move to Singapore for a while? Say Jurong area...but almost anywhere... Possibly Boston although not sure about the expense side.

The saving face thing is of course a common discussion among westerners. But I still think there is a big part of it I do not understand. I quickly picked up how important it was not to disagree with people publicly. Or at least do so very cleverly. And definitely there is this additional element about the use of emotion. But I still feel that there is a hidden subtext I am missing. I am thankful, as you point out, that westerners get a pass with some behaviors. That’s pretty fascinating, Wil.
