ok, very misleading title, first of all, I'd just gotten ubuntu on my laptop for the first time on 10/10/10, but a few days ago I tried to install the lubuntu desktop just to try it out, but it completely F'ed up my laptop, so just today I got around to fixing it by completely reinstalling ubuntu after formatting the partition... so now I have an eternal hatred and fear of Lubuntu, that unofficial lightweight desktop of death.
And now to my main point, which really pisses me off. This is basically about status symbols, as I'm in high school, and being seen with a DS just makes you an insta-nerd. iPods on the other hand, especially iPod touches, are completely mainstream and cool. It pisses me off so much, especially the people that think they are elite hackers because they jailbroke their iPod -.-. I wouldn't even dare bring out my DS (which they call jailbroken because that's the only term they know) because that would just make me look like a complete idiot, it's as if the DS is seen as for children and iPod touches are the thing for teens.
I can't wait til February when I get a phone upgrade, I'll get an android phone and root it,(btw does anyone know a good site/community/forum for rooting android phones and android in general?) It will be so awesome because it will be something that I won't actually be embarrassed to use in public. The only place I can really find where I feel comfortable using my DS is in the car, and the only other situation being when I have my DS closed in my pocket, listening to music, pretending I have an iPod. Stupid overpriced status symbols
PS. I hope HTC makes a phone with a super amoled screen, I want to show that off to all the stupid iPhone mofos.
