@Wozamil: I don't think even Apple is oblivious enough to think that this is just going to go by the wayside with sites like Gizmodo, Engadget and even CNN jumping on the antennagate bandwagon.

@aFlockOfMoosen: Me too - honestly, I'd grab a Bumper if they had them in colors other than black, white, and Easter-egg-vomit, but I'm worried that the selection of third party cases won't be much better.

@Harpsichord: Only someone using Dvorak could possibly misspell QWERTY, though.

@Gary_7vn: Yes, this is true. Unfortunately enough for those of us that weren't born yet when it was in vogue.

@Almightywhacko: I guess that's true, but it's still hard to do. Just because it happens to other companies as well doesn't mean it's not an issue to be concerned about.

@gamerjason88: One of my hobbies is going into Best Buys in foreign cities and arguing with the guys who try to sell the $100 Monster and Rocketfish cables. It's tremendously good fun.

The last time I used MonoPrice, their database got hacked and my card data got stolen. I only got taken for $93, but there were people whose accounts were billed in the thousands of dollars. Their Facebook page was filled with nothing but customer complaints for months.

@Xeno: Oracle makes operating systems?

@Count Fragula: What? No, his satire is that FB games often literally have clicking on buttons as the sole objective - something that takes literally no skill or even really effort. You can't apply that to all games of all genres, that's ridiculous.

@Auhim: Thank you (and everyone else who commented), as long as they're not going to burn down my house or charge me $60 or anything I'll go fix it tonight.

@theblazeuk: With all of the crap that college students pass off as papers these days, I would argue that handwriting is a complete non-issue in literacy in the face of supposedly-bright pupils who can't construct a grammatically correct sentence to save their lives.

Hey, this is a tangentially related question: has anyone here had experience with losing a NetFlix disc before? I mean, the disc in question is like six bucks new, so if worst comes to worst can I just buy a new copy and claim I lost the return envelope? What's my best bet here?

@Count Fragula: Um....no. He's making fun of FarmVille and the like where the gameplay consists entirely of logging in and clicking on various things a certain number of times a day. There's no challenge to it, you might as well open and close a spreadsheet twelve times a day for the same level of enjoyment.

This is absolutely friggin' hilarious. Next up he should do a Doodle-Cartoon-God-Wars thing for the iPhone.

@Befitzero: Except on Craigslist, you're not actually dealing with things "on the net". You use the service to find someone selling what you want, and generally you meet in a public place. And then you give them cash, you know - that thing that's pretty hard to fake?

...This makes me want to buy RDR and grief people to hell and back. Are you sure it's not a marketing ploy?

I totally believe this - the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny have been telling me the iPhone is going to lose its AT&T exclusivity for years now.

@synthsis: Take more time with each shot? Hardly, this is going to be "take as many shots as quickly as possible to make sure one of them is close to what you were looking for".

@CubemonkeyNYC: Thanks for taking the time to link sources, but your first link doesn't mention tethering and your second doesn't actually seem to take me to any article at all. It's not hard to imagine a small percentage of power users eating up a huge amount of data on the phone even without tethering - hand the
