Cell Phone Suicide

So I forgot to charge my cell phone. Its the moto razr all the cool kids had (like 3 years ago). The battery is going dead but the phone decides it needs to beep and/or vibrate to make sure I'm aware of the fact that the battery is going dead. What I dont get is, why? Its like stabbing yourself when bleeding out from a gunshot wound. What crazy asian that invented these things thought it would be a good idea to use every last drop of battery life your phone has left to make sure you know that no matter what the next time you try to make a phone call, the damn thing will turn off.

So moral of the story, there any way to shut that "feature" off? I can silence the beeps, but then it vibrates and visa versa.

Madden 09 Working List

This is a working list of what needs to be improved in Madden NFL 08. Feel free to comment on some ideas. Alot of these ideas have been in previous games. My comments are mainly on the xbox 360 version.

CPU vs CPU games. I know I'm not the only person that did this. Pit teams against eachother and watch the games. Or export my franchise team to see how they stack up against other teams.
Field goals nets
Chain gang. On the sidelines and measuring first downs.
On field refs that throw flags.
Less interceptions. I like how the secondary actually plays defense this year, but there should be many more knockdowns and broken up passes, not interceptions.
Never show me the jumbotron. EVER. I dont want to see the result of every play on the stupid jumbotron. Keep the action on the field.
Every time the ground causes a fumble should not require a challenge. How bought the refs call it and we'll challenge the ones they miss.
Remove the vision cone. Completely, just remove it.
Make kicking less automatic.
Make lining up for extra points faster. They improved that this year, but its still the most boring play in football and should cut thru having to do it quicker.
Announcers. Doesnt have to be Madden, but something better than the radio idiot. How come hockey games are so much better with play by play AND color commentary than a game that sells a billion copies.
ESPN somewhere. Money well spent in buying that license.
