Where I live they send out a news letter with your water bill. A few months ago they let us know that the water failed some test by something like 0.02%. You would need to drink so much water that you would make yourself sick before whatever limit they were over would be of any harm to you. Do you think Coke or Pepsi is going to tell you that about your bottled water?
Apple posted another video showing another smartphone, this time the Droid X, losing bars when held in the death grip. Problem is other people can’t recreate this, even Engadget can’t do it. The other thing is Apple made a big deal about the media blowing this “Antennagate” thing up. We know Apple, some smartphones lose bars if held just right. Move on.
My girlfriend got a Palm Pre when they were first released. While I think the Pre makes a better paper weight then a phone, I really like the OS and the way it does multitasking. If you put it on a more power phone or even better a touch screen tablet, you might have something that can go head to head with the iPad.
It seems more clear now why Google made the Nexus One: it’s hard to get a phone with the default Android OS. It also seems clear that Android’s openness is largely about being open to the carriers’ ability to customize the user experience.

And its not the the Sense UI is bad, it really is pretty good, I just would like to run what Google released or be able to pick what I want on the phone, Sense or stock Android, at the time I get the phone.
Apple Tells Congressmen it Batches, Encrypts Location Data – Web Services Web 20 and SOA from eWeek With the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and can see why location-based data is needed. What I don’t understand is why Apple needs to know where I am when I am using my MacBook. If I am using [...]
Sometimes you just have to say sorry. Jobs is Apple’s spokesperson, and he usually does a terrific job. But in this case, his anger and his defensiveness got the better of him. Apple is now a dominant player in the consumer technology market and it can’t afford this kind of ham-fisted performance. Jobs should remove [...]
John Gruber posted a image from page 13 of the Droid Eris User Manual that shows the area where the antenna is and it says you should avoid contact with that area. It says that you should “always use your device only in its normal-use position”. The problem with the iPhone 4 is that if [...]
Of course that’s just people calling AppleCare. I would like to know the number of people calling AT&T or Best Buy. Its all in the numbers you pick to report. via – AppleInsider
