  1. Did you doubt any of it went through post? on Forensic Analysis Reveals Al-Qaeda's Image Doctoring · · Score: 1

    I love it when the propoganda video is broadcast and the guy speaking talks about something that happened three to six months ago. The news cite these bits as proof that it is recent video. Seriously, my local news channel can take live video; add all the fancy graphics and send it out to the world in real time. Of course they are using this medium to transmit covert messages to operatives globally. It's more effective than buying a classified in the Washington Post.

  2. Warranty repair? on iPhone Battery Replacement An Unwelcome Surprise · · Score: 5, Interesting

    In addition, Rosenfield said, replacing the iPhone battery should be free to begin with while the product is under its one-year warranty. And I want Nintendo to replace the batteries in my Wii remote every time they run low. Seriously, a battery is a consumable. Anyone who is using all the reported 300-400 charge cycles in two years is probally going to break something else first. Don't forget, they had the cash to plunk down $600 on a cell phone in the first place.
  3. Re:Confusing the public about the iPhone. on iPhone Doesn't Surf Fast Enough for Jobs · · Score: 1

    What's so bad about wifi for AT&T? Say I get my basic plan and free VoIP. I'm proactive about making my calls on VoIP, so I save my minutes. Well, it turns out that I now rarely use my minutes at all. AT&T is still getting my money. The're spending less to service me, and profiting more. Minutes are not a commodity. Carriers are selling the availability of a service.

    1. Yes, it is cash and carry, but you cannot use the device (even as a cool iPod) without activation. 2. No, see #1. 3. Not without some hacking, but I bet the hardware is there.

    Still waiting for someone in the Guild to announce he is a producer for Dateline.

    When was the last time a hot teacher that had an extracurricular session prosecuted? If they are hot, they aren't working the student body (pun intended).
