Apple iPhone Dissected
Conch writes "Only hours after the launch, the Apple iPhone has been dissected. The good folks at AnandTech violated one of the first iPhones to still our curiosity about whats inside the aluminum shell.
'Please note that we're doing this so you are not tempted to on your recent $500/$600 expenditure, while it is quite possible to take apart using easy to find tools we'd recommend against it as it will undoubtedly void your warranty and will most likely mar up the beautiful gadget's exterior.'"
It's like some kind of warped geek snuff movie
1. Unraveling the mystery of the multi-touch screen by peeling it like an onion!
2. Figuring out if the iPhone has vestiges of unimplemented features (like how they found unused slots on the Mac Mini).
3. Seeing exactly which parts are from China, Taiwan and Korea.
4. And most importantly... iPorn! (is what you get when you cause your iPhone to do an iGoatse.)
You know, I have the feeling people who buy high-tech, flashy gadgetry such as the iPhone aren't likely to invest in it for the long term, with a value-for-money approach to buying and owning the product.
You'll be surprised. Most Mac people I know are poor, unemployed, and step on toes around their machines. But they were so convinced they should absolutely must get Apple, they would stay away from pot for a month to afford one.

They probably weren't poor until they blew all their cash on Apple kit.

I got my first "Congratulations, you have won new iPhone" phishing message, complete with link (to http://203.121.78.200/...) to click on and give them all my personal contact info.
This is indeed an opportunity for all kinds of modern enterpreneurs.
Those who do study history are doomed to stand helplessly by while everyone else repeats it.
In my experience there are way too many people who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a soldering iron.
Put down the soldering iron and back away. That's right, back away from the soldering iron.If you don't know what Cmd-Shft-TacoBellGrande is for, GTFO!
If you don't know what Cmd-Shft--- whaddayamean, I forgot to tick "Anonymous"?
AWWWW, FUCK! Delete! Delete!

6. This thing is useless without activation. If I decide I don't want Cingular, it's not even an ipod, it's a doorstop.
It's just a little bit too small to be much of an effective doorstop, I'm afraid.... :P Even if it would be a classy one.
98% of America's teens drink alcohol, smoke, and have sex. Put this in your sig if you like bagels.
