@minimaltek: Those sound like some pretty incendiary basslines!

@HeartBurnKid: Agent of R.O.A.C.H.: Perhaps I should include the quote to which I was referring, the quote that's getting tossed around the comments in this article:

"The iPhone 4's antenna issues have been widely catalogued"

Honestly? Replace "Microsoft" with "Barack Obama" and "only sold 500 KINs" with "is a raving Islamic Terrorist without a valid birth certificate" and you will have the same Glenn Beck-style attitude that you guys trash on all the time around here.

In order for this to become trendy, wouldn't setting foot inside of a Starbucks have to become trendy first?

@superg05: There's been something off since he began selling software to add Apple's DRM to other people's music...

@Benedinho: Precisely - I almost thought they posted her picture as a joke, but I couldn't figure out what the joke was supposed to be!

@Kerensky97: The noise isn't the worst of your problems. Physically bridging the antennae through your internal capacitance/resistance changes electrical properties of the antenna. These electrical properties are specifically designed for a certain band of frequencies, and changing these properties changes the…

@pishposh.mcgee: *"a specific range of frequencies"

@archercc: More specifically, antenna circuitry has certain electrical properties including capacitance that make it specifically responsive to a particular frequency. Your body has a certain amount of capacitance (this is how "multitouch" screens work). Touching your body to such an antenna then will change the…

@paintedangel: Actually, I was going to call minus one internetz for the malapropism.

@mrmcarter: Oh, I've read that many times. I just don't understand why that has to be the pinnacle, the be-all of industrial design.

I realize that Dieter Rams was important in the history of Industrial Design, but I am annoyed how Jesus references him and only him when discussing the topic.

I tried watching it for a couple of minutes. It was pure gimmick and hard to watch.

@SharpnPointy: Not that I don't see at least the tiniest bit of merit in a device such as this, but...

I don't mean to be a jerk, but I really don't see what you find so beautiful about this picture. The most I can say is that it looks like the photographer pointed his camera at the earth and tried to capture more than one solar array. That, to me, is like a picture you take at a party where you just try to get two or…

@shkm: +1 for foobar2000. Of course, I'd really like them to port it to Linux

I didn't watch the game, so bear that in mind. I did, however, find a recap in the NYTimes. The author claims that the free kick which resulted in the redacted goal was itself an erroneous call, by the same official.

@Lactose_The_Intolerant:

@gijenny01: Want to try revising your fiures again? Apple's sold something like 55 million iPhones total. If you're going to correct yourself while making up specific numbers, maybe you should try a little harder.
