My 8gb iPhone activated no problem but then the speaker didn't work... No rings no music without headphones, no speakerphone. So I took it back to the apple store at the grove in los angeles and they replaced it with a new one on the spot, even though they were supposedly out of them. They had enough foresight to keep a bunch on hand to be able to offer replacements for people who had problems. That's good customer service. They switched the sim card from my broken phone to the new one so that when i went to re activate it (yes I had to take it home and plug it back in to iTunes to get the new one to work) it wouldnt start charging me for two iphone plans. I am a very happy iPhone customer. Its not perfect but its better than anything else on the market. Its what I'm typing this message on now.
Will consumers soon be getting the full 13.1 audio system that we hear in movie theaters?
No offence, but those supposed 13.1 systems in movie theaters are NOT discreet channels. Films, yes even for movie theaters, are only mixed in 5.1. This I know because I worked on mixing a film for dolby digital at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, on their second-largest mix stage, with the final delivery medium being the optical track on 35mm film. Their system only worked with 5.1, no more. So what's the point of these additional speakers, when the source will only ever be 5.1 in the near future? It will be a while before the films are mixed in more than that consistently.

Can an NY Court's ruling be imposed on a non-resident? Do they even have jurisdiction to enforce that ruling?
You will not be able to extend a broadband thing like WiFi (or even worse, Bluetooth) very far directly
...O'Reilly (the book company) was able to carry an unamplified WiFi signal for 20.9 miles
