It's really annoying when you're trying to get to know someone and she doesn't pay attention to you because she's obsessed with her phone.
While I've never 'phoned in' a performance, I think I have given some performances where I could have been a bit braver.
Yelp is in a very nice spot: local data, and especially review data, is one of the killer apps on mobile phones.
Sending a message on a mobile phone is not the most natural of ways to communicate. The keypad isn't linguistically sensible.
Now I'm starting to jog. But every time I do jog I have 9-1 pressed into my phone, with the next '1' ready to be launched in case I drop.
It is exhausting knowing that most of the time the phone rings, most of the time there's an email, most of the time there's a letter, someone wants something of you.
Truth be told, there are lots of companies that provide exemplary phone support. DirecTV, Virgin America and Apple are a few that regularly exceed my expectations.

If you think back to the beginning of cell phones, laptops or really any new technology, it's always expensive.
Nina: [on the phone] He picked me, mommy! I'm the new swan queen!
I never got into using my phone's calendar. It's easier to write in my Tiffany day planner. There's something charming about having a datebook.
I can remember how rude I could be at times to journalists and people phoning up for advice.
If you’re purely after facts, please buy yourself the phone directory of Manhattan. It has four million times correct facts. But it doesn’t illuminate.
For me, personally, I'm usually not on my phone that much. I prefer listening to old radio shows and watching foreign films than tweeting.
