@Norbs: That's not how it works. There's restitution to customers, in addition to a fine by the government.

@OMG! Antubis!: :) I have faith in my fellow man on an individual basis. I don't have as much faith in stockholder-vested corporations.

@OMG! Antubis!: We know it's in addition to restitution. In the end, what that means is they bet $25 mil on a chance for $53mil profit, and lost this time. That's hardly a huge setback for them.

Sounds like very little to me. $25 mil fine for overcharging by $53 mil? Sounds like they're making many, many, many times that much revenue from the same customers (who likely aren't even the entire Verizon customer base, just its mobile customers). I'd say it's well worth it for V to try this fraud time and time

32GB of trojans and viruses. Perhaps unintentional. But assured.

I'm absolutely amazed by this. Not that they would do it. Not that anybody would want it. But that the whole of Geocities hosting...is less than a single TB? Man, the internet was TINY back then!

@C3PA: Man, that's a depressing comic!

How does this thing work? Does it measure the distance of each "step" it takes, and build an internal map of the maze? Does it use cameras/proximity detectors? It certainly doesn't hit walls.

@Meternx01: Yeah. Kinda depends on how intractable the problem is at what point. When the lines are going to cross, you gotta look long and hard at it. What exactly is the problem, anyways? Inconsistent finish? Light leakage?

Moot from anything but a sales perspective. If the iPhone4 came out in white a few months before the 5 (or 4Gs?) is announced, it'd do a lot to bump up sales in a period where they usually start to slump due to people holding off for the new device.

Lol, I figured the two slots were for exactly that purpose as soon as the image loaded. Well, at least that's a mistake you'll only make once :)

Hahaha oh god. It's going to be horrible. Where do I send my money?

That's absolutely incredible. Take that, Mission Impossible.

@Dacker: From the video, it looks like "regular" 2D physics are in play. Dunno if different levels feature different gravity, but if so it would make more sense.

Lol "I don't know why it has to be in space?"

@iwuzbord: Guess what? That Big Mac from 6 years ago? It's still in there.

@RainyDayInterns: It seems to make little difference—it's not applying a patch to the core firmware, it overwrites the OS and all data during the process. You can choose to restore your data after the update is applied, if you wish.

I just tried these. They all sound like they were recorded with a webcam mic in an echo chamber (probably cause they're low quality for beta purposes).

@RainyDayInterns: Uh, well my unit is a dedicated test bench. It's still interesting to me that for all updates from 3.0b1 until 4.2b3, I've never had one fail until now.
