  <p>I'm sure I'm not the only one who would happily pay a reasonable amount of money to watch a podcast where you two try and fix things and fail spectacularly.</p>

  <p>"When does the one way flow of money stop"</p><p>Never or until you run out of all assets including your house. It increases in amount and if they have children the # of recipients increases. If you die there is your estate to draw down.</p>

  <p>AT&amp;T had the Samsung Blackjack running Windows Mobile 3.x. With the extended battery pack installed it would get around 7 hours of standby power and 45 minutes of talk (IIRC.) I would turn mine off before leaving work for the day. After coming in the next morning I would turn it on then go to the bathroom, grab a cup of water from the cooler, chat with colleagues, and by the time I got back to my desk it would just about be finished booting. By comparison, my personal phone at the time was a cheap flip phone that got a month of standby and 3 days of talk with a battery less than a quarter of the size.</p>
