@David Corso: If you enjoyed that, then you'll like the Holga.

@Ghostwind66: I totally agree that Apple's smug attitude has brought this onto itself and personally I am somewhat enjoying the media backlash. It's the people who get so sensitive that people are attacking "their" product that kind of bugs me.

Damn you guys are a sensitive bunch.

@MHTSOS: Yeah, I hope so too. I think if they believe that their network can handle the traffic they'd be better off keeping it unlimited to differentiate themselves from Verizon and AT&T. I've been recommending Sprint to people for that particular reason.

@SinisterFootwear: Awesome, thanks!

Got the Evo on day 1 and apparently I used 5.4GB this past month. Don't really know where all that went. I streamed maybe 20min of the World Cup, tried out some web-cam action on Fring, uploaded some pictures to Picasa, Facebook, and email, browse the web on a daily basis...I guess I do use a lot of data.

@Stitchopoulis: Kudos.

They never really showed the guy running. Kind of pointless to carry guns when you can only move so slowly that you're a sitting duck. Also, are they creating safeguards so that when the soldier falls forward he is not going to be crushed by 200lbs of equipment? I don't think the average wrists can withstand that…

@tande04: That would mean it has a shifting weight built in, making it heavier than it needs to be. It would be pretty cool as a desk phone like you said.

How would you pocket that thing? If it's a camera first and phone second, then maybe since that bulge will work well as a grip. Beyond that it really isn't all that practical.

@k2kyo: Actually I think a lot of Android users are up in arms about this problem. It's just that right now no one knows what exactly will brick the phone, so the stance for the most part is to wait and see. I, for one, thinks that it is a very stupid idea for Motorola.

@mikehenriquez: Classy...

@pixelpushing: I'm not arguing the merits of the iPhone as a platform (I have recommended it to several friends), only the argument of putting aesthetics above all else. There are some concessions to function that is built into many Apple products that I feel is going a little overboard. Of course it helps them sell…

@songs: And hence the need to have the cheap plastic kit...thanks for making my point.

All Jobs and Apple wants is to make the media forget about the situation, and they probably did that on Friday. They did not admit fault, did not issue a recall, made people think they're getting something for free ("Did you say FREE? I forgot what I was angry about"), and most importantly, gave the press not much…

Saying that every phone has attenuation problems is like saying that every car breaks down. Yes, it's true technically. But the important thing is, does it break down every 500 miles or every 50,000? Does it break down catastrophically every time so that you're left stranded on the side of the road, or does it only…

Friday's conference is a PR campaign like every other Apple event, and as such it was simply scripted to defuse the situation. Whether Jobs succeeds or not depends on the public's reaction to his answers. Whether what he says is true has very little meaning. His detractors will say that he failed, and his…

@MrCheatachu: A lot of single speed bikes only have front brakes, so technically it shouldn't be a problem with cabling.

@Jimmy From The Block: Yeah, somehow I don't think the Apple Koolaide has worn off of the public yet. Maybe in a year or two, or three.

@Monty: Right....
