So, Dan, you've had your iPhone for, what, two weeks now? How is it working for you? Any problems? Does the screen get greasy from too much fingering? (there's gotta be a better way to word that)

Well out of any one of my friends I was probably the one to get one a few days after release but I resisted and I'm holding off until rev2 or at least the next firmware update.

But if I had one I'm sure I'd love it as much as my BB Curve but I'd be missing the video out, ringtones and some other minor annoyances of any other phone.

Once again it's not that much money. Think about the people who spent $400 on the XBOX 360 or $600 on a PS3, you're not harping on those costs and this device is with you every minute you're awake. Yes, if you compare the cost to other "phones" than it is a lot but it's more than a phone, more of an iPod and less of a computer. And yes, it's still pricey since none of it is subsidized by the contract.

Anyways, I don't see it as burning money just spending a lot on a device you better use a lot of to make it worth it.

I think Nathan might have been referring to the topic of this post.

Any way you slice it, it IS a lot of money, and while you can debate that you can get your money's worth out of it, I think we can all agree that this is definitely one case where that didn't happen.

Although, now that I think about it, I've seen this video posted everywhere, and while "Will It Blend" has been around for a while (I've even posted on it before, long ago), I'm sure this stunt will drive up their traffic considerably, so they might actually end up getting their money's worth too, in terms of ad revenue.

blending an iphone can prove to be a smart business move for "will it blend," but ultimately it is burning money, extremely economically damaging, and socially repugnant.

Unbelievable RNC 9/11 Tribute Video w/ Olbermann Commentary
Decide for yourself...but IMO this was pure filth. Exploiting the families of that tragedy was completely wrong and they should be ashamed. Uploaded to my me account in case it gets taken down. Digg It!!
Barack Obama | Sam Graham-Felsen's Blog: Message from David Plouffe: 'What you just saw'
I probably watched more of the RNC so far than I have of the DNC but when I compare the two, the RNC was extremely negative and without any progressive talk about the issues.Hopefully, I'm serious when I say this, McCain comes out and talks about the issues and what he's going to do to help the country. And refrain from talking about his entitlement and lie about taxes and how he's a mavrick (he --was-- a mavrick).(via Barack Obama | Sam Graham-Felsen's Blog: Message from David Plouffe: 'What you just saw') Dear Friend -- I wasn't planning on sending you ...
The political topic that must not be discussed in USA
I hope people learn something from this talk with Judy Estrin who is on the board of directors of FedEx and Walt Disney and who just wrote a book about innovation, which is what we talk about.(via The political topic that must not be discussed in USA) No, not a 17-year-old’s sex life. That’s fair game in today’s media world, it seems. No, not abortion or whether or not a candidate considered such or will legislate against choice to use it. That’s fair game too. No, not gun ownership or support of that. That’s been discussed at length. No, not whether ...
PALIN VET DEFENDED
I could imagine the conversation McCain had, "if I can't get Joe or Ridge then I'll just pick...uh...that women in Alaska, then you can deal with it".(via PALIN VET DEFENDED) Essential reading: Associated Press interviews McCain’s top vetter, who says the Alaska governor underwent a “full and complete” background check before being selected. And/but: More essential reading: A skeptical NY Times: “Republicans close to the campaign said it was increasingly apparent that Ms. Palin had been selected as Mr. McCain’s running mate with more haste than McCain advisers initially described….” “A Republican close to the campaign”: “They didn’t seriously consider her until four ...
Download the major DNC speeches
Not sure why Winer didn't notice that iTunes has all the major DNC speeches and all the RNC speeches shortly after.It's under the podcast section. I wish I noticed it a couple weeks ago myself, it would have been nice to watch the speeches the next day rather than on the web.(via Download the major DNC speeches) As promised, here's a BitTorrent with all the big speeches from last week's Democratic National Convention including Bill and Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Dennis Kucinich, Joe Biden, Al Gore, Bill Richardson, and of course Barack Obama's fantastic acceptance speech.
