Apple masters of technology, not of subtly...

Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery, suppose the second is to do what you should have done in the first place... got someone who knows what their talking about: http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/apple-hiring-iphone-antenna-engineers-for-some-reason/

Ooh Bono...

Proof that just because you have the attention of thousands of people, it doesn't mean that they are listening: http://verydemotivational.com/2010/06/27/demotivational-posters-bono/

iPhone 4 - Major feature... drops calls!

That's right, seems Apple's new ring antena on the iPhone 4 doesn't like to be touched, seeing hundreds of articles on this, no word from apple yet, can't wait to hear their response! Where is that e-mail from Steve when you need it! http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/some-iphone-4-models-see-signals-drop-to-0-when-held-left-handed/ http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/video-massive-iphone-4-flaw-revealed-698653?src=rss&attr=all UPDATE: Steve has now replied, and guess what? After years of people owning and using phones, Steve Jobs reckons it's being held the wrong way...  http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/apple-responds-over-iphone-4-reception-issues-youre-holding-th/ Come on Mr Jobs, just like how the iPad is being advertised, "there is no wrong way"

Ancient Gadgets...

The iPad is not that magical, it has nothing on moving pictures in colour, now that was magical! Of course well before my time, but still interesting to understand the leaps made. http://www.techvert.com/hottest-gadgets-of-the-1970s

The Devuvuzelator... no it's not a gun!

Or a flamethrower or any of the other crazy self-defence gadgets that are legal in South Africa, it's a piece of software to remove the sound of a thousand bee's from live broadcasts (internet only): http://www.stardock.com/labs/devuvuzelator/ Watching England getting kicked out the World Cup just got more pleasurable :-)
