New life?

I got a new battery for my HP iPAQ. In the past, I have to keep on charging it. It won't take long (around 2 hours) before it runs flat. If I took some calls, it would almost immediately kill the battery.

Now, it'a already been almost 2 full days and the battery is still half full. The new battery has given new life to my HP iPAQ. I have my contacts, calendar, etc. all in the phone. With a WiFi connection, I can use Gmail Mobile to read my mail and Opera Mini to surf net. If I want, I can even run fring to access Skype.

Vista has been acting up ... I formatted it and installed Windows 7 and the notebook is back to tip top form ... it has never been working so fast and well for a long time. Windows 7 has breathed new life into the old trusty notebook.

I wonder what message I am supposed to get from these two incidents.

10 phrases that can be irritating or offensive | 10 Things | TechRepublic.com

Personally, I'd add the following to the list:
"Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Do you get me?"

To me, the person saying that is either telling you he / she thinks you are an idiot what cannot comprehend what he / she is saying or he / she has a lack of confidence in his / her own ability to communicate.

Unfortunately, some of my closest friends / colleagues display this behavior. So far, this has not affected how I view them.

Go on and take a look at the other phrases that may make you pull out your hair, make you punch the speaker or start a war.
