So DREW is one of those annoying airplane passengers that feels it necessary to strike up a conversation with someone sitting next to them?

;)

When I haven't said word one to anyone other than the stewardess, sorry, flight service attendant, while always having my computer, newspaper, magazine (or a Kindle type device these days) glued to my face, it probably means I don't wish to speak to the passengers around me.

And btw, can you please move your FN arm off of my armrest while you're not speaking to me.

Though I don't find it necessary to inject myself in other people's lives, I am not above conversing with other humans. My last flight, however, was just after dusk, and I did feel the need to point out Venus and Mercury to others. ;)

I'm sure they would have liked Uranus too!

Let me know what you think of it, please.

I just saw a commercial for a Verizon Google/Droid phone...didn't realize that the word "Droid" was registered to LucasFilm and that Google has to licence it from them to use it.

Yeah they got that trademark when they made that Droids cartoon.

I did a scan last night with SpyBot and detected virtumonde.sci. My computer is a little slow on some sites, but other than that, it seems ok. I researched it on ASK.com and that's what it seems to do, but havn't had much luck eradicatng it. Any ideas???

Not sure what other people use for anti-virus, but I use the free version of aVast! I never really had problems with viruses before, but this one seemed to be the most recommended...and it's free.

I imagine it would be Verizon that licenses the word "Droid", since Google labels their phone Android.

I use the same also and a program called CCleaner which helps me run at top speed!
