Yeah, slight correction to the lede.

Technically, it was a hand-me-down, but that's beside the point. I'm just frustrated that all the good stuff from newer versions of iOS (multitasking, Notification Center, battery life percentage, etc.) isn't available straight out of the box and requires jailbreaking. If the 3G supported iOS 4.3, this wouldn't be as…

That comes with SBSettings, apparently. Already set up an alternate unlocking method in that, and I'm installing Mobile Notifier (which I don't know why I couldn't install it before).

Aww. Something similar to the Notification Center would've been nice (without paying $8 for the appropriate app, because I'm cheap like that), but I'll take it. Just installed SBSettings and HOLY CRAP WHY DIDN'T I DO THIS SOONER PLEASE TELL ME THAT TYPING RUN-ON SENTENCES IN ALL CAPS IS A NORMAL REACTION TO…

If "get an Android" is the answer to anything involving an iPhone, you're asking the wrong question. I'm quite happy with the Apple ecosystem. It's just a matter of an outdated phone.

Okay, let's see what you can do for my iPhone 3G with a barely-responsive home button...

I could see splitting the space bar making sense, considering that the right side's always the one with the smoothed-out spot on my keyboards.

How much money did they spend redesigning milk crates so they no longer hold records? (At least I'm assuming that's what happened: crate manufacturers made them ever-so-slightly narrower because people kept stealing crates for their vinyl.)

"It also doesn't hurt that I don't buy CDs which aren't at least ten years old at this point."

Sin Cara, not content with his supremacy in the wrestling ring, joined the Gators and promptly botched a simple Cover 2 defense before getting busted for steroids.

Also, cloud storage services are worth precisely $fuck-all.49 when you don't have an Internet connection. I've learned firsthand how quickly streaming can eat up your data plan on 3G, too, so there's something to be said about local storage.

Or it shows how cool THEY are, in that Deftones could crap out something just to appease the label and it's still pretty good.

Point of order, Dick Cheney actually did come out in support of gay marriage. Of course, I think it was after the 2008 elections, when he could legally not give the dog shit in Ann Coulter's asshole about what Republicans thought about gay marriage.

And yet, my 3G doesn't support anything newer than iOS 4.3. (sad Hulk music)

"Shooty Babitt" must be a new pseudonym for Lil B:

I'm about to save you $80.

Not if the rumors of Cook training with the Iron Sheik are to be believed.

$500 for the newest iPad.

But $300 is still pretty manageable. That's actually probably the most likely price point, because I can't see them going much higher than $300-350 if the full-size iPad starts at $500.

All depends on price for me. $500 is a bit much to swing for me (and for what I'd want to do with the iPad (audio production), it's far and away a much better choice than an Android tablet) but if it's in the $200-$250 range, that's an entirely different story altogether.
