The whole commercial thing goes back a long way. Television used to be free, over the air. Consumers were promised that paying for cable would keep the content commercial-free. Then the media companies got greedy, and stuck advertising in there anyway... It's not like we have much of an alternative.
I don't watch shows until around 15 minutes after they come on, so that I can start at the beginning and fast forward through the commercials.
I have an iPhone 4, and I've experienced the problem several times.
My friend in Pittsburgh has an iPhone 4 (with a weak signal at work), and every time he forgot and "held it wrong", it dropped our call (on launch day.) He also spent tons of time on hold for Dell tech support using the handsfree kit, picked up his phone for a second, and dropped the call because he was holding it wrong again.
My problems have gone away since I bought a case, but it's a third party case so I won't get a refund. I wanted a bumper, but they sold out far before the iPhones did, and even Apple admits they can't produce them fast enough.
A bigger problem is the proximity sensor, which IS a software issue. My wife hung up on me with her face, and I've put myself on mute several times. Luckily, this is promised to be fixed in a future software update (until it isn't, just like the antenna issue.)
If checking the number of bars "is a dangerous way to draw technical conclusions about a phone's reception" then a) why include the bar graph at all b) by what means do you recommend customers determine reception c) the bars are supposed to reflect dBm in a user-friendly way, and last I checked dBm is exactly what is used to determine an antenna's performance and d) when cell companies tout "more bars" as a key feature of their network, shouldn't it mean better reception and fewer dropped calls throughout their network?
The point is that people watch the bars to determine reception, and Apple has been altering the scale to make it look like it has better reception (more bars = better reception.)
That's about iAd, coming out July 1. According to the agreement (which practically no one reads), you can opt out by visiting this website with your iOS device:
I've been trying to release an iPad version of my app since launch. It has been rejected by Apple four times. Each time, we fixed what they asked us to, and each time they found something else to reject us for.
1. Contained links to Paypal (just like our approved iPhone app.) 2. Doesn't rotate (like MANY other iPad apps) 3. Contained iTunes Links to Points apps (just like other Mafia apps, and our iPhone app.) They are forcing us to implement in-app purchasing. 4. Our website contained a contest... After 10,000 people downloaded our free app and created a free character, we would give a free iPod Touch to one of them. Apple called us today and said that we aren't allowed to give away Apple products from a website associated with the app. They said we can give away a Zune HD, but not an iPod Touch.:-|
Try playing 95% of the games out there with your finger. There is no left-click/right-click or mouseover paradigm for the iPhone... why would you expect it to even work?
I agree... Plus, the original poster didn't bother to notice the difference between a device and an operating system.
If you're going to limit by device, then I can sue my refrigerator manufacturer for abusing their monopoly on firmware for my ice dispenser, and not giving me a choice.
He meant the mid- 2080s. You see, he's sending that post from in the future where Linux rules the world and runs with proper driver support on all devices.

I bought and used WinAdmin for my iPad today at work. It's really slick and has potential... The only con for now is that there is no way to "click and hold". I'm sure that's just a minor thing that the developers will take care of in a future version.

Oh, they'll still have a fast forward button, but you have to enter your credit card number every time you want to use it.

No, their rewrite is also subject to to this issue. Go publicize Windows somewhere else.
No, it isn't subject to this issue. They removed the dispatcher lock. Go bash Windows somewhere else.

But Obama is blaming it on policies put in place by Bush.
If Steve jobs was Obama, it would have taken him 3 months to figure out that putting a (bumper) cap on it would stop the (signal) leak.
3GS: 99.2% of calls dropped
4: 99.9% of calls dropped
So a very low increase percentage-wise... ;-)

Or maybe a $50 credit at the AT&T store, which will buy us a phone that actually makes calls...
And if it WASN'T significant enough to care, we probably would never have seen an article on it.
That Star Wars game... Could be played well with a decent flight yoke perhaps...

Contrary to what the blurb says, the iPad is still available at Apple's store with a shipping date of 7-10 days.
They actually called us on the phone today, and said we should expect it to go live tonight after we remove the contest link...
*knock on wood*

And honestly, how long would it take a computer to bruteforce a 4-digit numeric password???
I think you could probably install EVERY game from the 90s on that hard drive and still have 2.09 TB left over. :-)
Well, technically the part about him being dumbed down is still correct. :-)

Yes, Apple should just use their GPS to find the phone, break into Gizmodo's headquarters, and steal it back.
The only other alternative is to come forward and confirm it as a real iPhone, which I can't see Apple doing.

I spoke too soon... I just didn't know the gesture.

Ummm... Adobe already warns you about it. So less than zero days.
You go right ahead and handle your finances from http://www.geocities.com/westealyourmoney/2q38948234.php. As for myself, I'd prefer using paypal.com.
