iPhone 4 News Roundup

We have a slew of iPhone 4-related stories this morning, so I'm lumping them together for easier consumption/ignoring, depending on your personal feelings on the subject. Here is a blog entry proclaiming that iOS 4 multitasking sucks and why. Here is a sketchy summary of privacy violations by Apple and AT&T — apparently they are reporting back jailbroken phones. Skunkpost has a story about the lines and sales of the new phone. But the big news of the morning is the reception problems that apparently only affect people who hold the phone in their left hands.

Dear Slashdot

If you can't find any decent articles to run, have you thought about just not running any articles until you do find some? It's not like you are forced to publish anything at regular intervals (or are you, by your corporate overlords?)

Flamebait, really? Man, I forget how testy Slashdotters are with their mod points.

Your car is not capable of going 155mph and is not artificially limited as you claim. According to Car and Driver, your car is aero-limited to 142 mph.

hmm.. interesting site on here

That would have been funny if you'd gotten closer to the original quote "George Bush don't like black people" and replaced "George Bush" with "Steve Jobs" and "Black" with "left handed".

Good for you. So why do you keep commenting on every Apple story about the 'walled garden' and your problems with it? Is it because you are unhappy with your current choice and you would like to go with Apple if only they played according to your rules? or do you really think the readers here (on /., of all places) are so ignorant that you feel the need to constantly remind them of Apple's walled garden, when they make their choices? when you proclaim that you have a choice as a consumer and you've made yours, is it that hard to accept others are doing the same thing, and happy for the same reason?

Two reasons: I like to partake in as many conversations as possible on Slashdot, and because this particular topic always gets the most responses. I like responses :-)

This is not a personal attack on you, I wholly understand your point but I'm curious to know why the insistence - I can see a legitimate complaint when you are torn between choices - but why after you have made your choice? In fact, let's make this twitter-blunt: can you give the reason in 140 characters?

I can do it in 23 characters, including spaces and punctuation:

I'm an attention whore. ::shrug::

PS: That ::shrug:: doesn't count towards the 23 characters
PSS: That PS doesn't count towards the 23 characters
PSSS: That PSS...AUGH!
