  1. The buses, trains, and subways in Korea run on time all the time. Why can't the same be said about the #TTC ?
  2. Not one single time since I've been in Korea has the metros stopped running for any reason. #TTC no longer has any excuses.
  3. How come the Seoul, Busan, and Gwangju metros run 100% reliably while #TTC subway has daily delays? I'm still getting emails.
  4. The #TTC is really lame. I've been overseas for almost 3 weeks and not once has there been a delay, unlike in Toronto.
  5. @Rogers_Chris I think Google really dropped the ball on Android. It's a frustrating experience.
  6. @Rogers_Chris unfortunately the Nexus update is also a fiasco. ICS was announce in Oct but Nexus S didn't get it until a couple of weeks ago
  7. @JasonR_B_0029 you're kidding me. Jamaica has a hockey team?????
  8. @BrownieBerry @rogers_chris I don't see why carriers hold Android up for "testing" when iPhones are updated straight from Apple.
  9. Google with soon announce the next version of Android yet only 1% of devices have the current version. WTF?
  10. How come Crapple announces an OS update and makes it available within 24 hours yet Google updates take MONTHs?
  11. Tired of the everlasting waiting game with Android. Unless I root and use unstable ROMs, I'm always waiting for updates.
  12. @samsungcanada @preston_f92 Soon seems like forever in the Android world. At least Crapple delivers updates the day they are announced.
  13. @Rogers_Chris @brownieberry but that did not answer the question. We've been hearing that for a couple of weeks now. :-(
  14. @shawnmicallef congratulations! I'm anxious to read.
  15. @TNA_GUNNER congrats on the contract. Guys like you are the future of this sport. You are definitely world championship material.
  16. While I'm overseas, I'm getting several #TTC emails about delays. The city I'm in has not had a single delay on their magnificent subway.
  17. South Korea is beautiful!!!
  18. “@Samsungtweets: RT if you had a great weekend! Now tell us what you did that made it so awesome” I toured Busan S. Korea with my new Note.
