There is a sort of "fix" for this if you have jailbroken your iPhone.

So jailbreaking can actually help the security of your phone before Apple has a chance to fix it. One more reason for jailbreaking beyond the usual stuff.

The fault in the logic here is that them saying .5% of people reported the problem, people think that .5% of the people actually have the problem. This one is actually belongs to both Apple and media. I have an iPhone 4 and have the problem. I already live in a poor reception area and having a phone that can be slightly better than average or significantly worse than average reception kinda makes my head spin.

But I didn't report it! Why you say? Because it's already a big deal to the media who's been schlepping this story around for the last month. I didn't think I needed to report it. And everyone I know who has an iPhone talks about the news stories about the terrible reception, but again never report it. They figure if it's this big a news then Apple should be able to see it's more than just a few thousand people having the issue.

Again this is both sides' fault, but I guarantee the number of problem phones is a bit greater than .5%

About the heart thing. I know it might be several different factors but it does sound a lot like what I have. Paroxysmal supraventricular tachardia. https://health.google.com/health/ref/Paroxysmal+supraventricular+tachycardia+(PSVT) Just for information if anyone else suffers from it. It's a problem because it's so sporadic that figuring out what it is from a normal doctor is crazy hard

The link shows a technique to stop it when it's happening and it's helped me nearly every time. It takes a few times but eventually it goes away.

Now everybody this has helped go ahead and send me a few bucks so that I can afford to go back to the doctor and tell him I'm doing his job for him. =P

I noticed a few people reacting to the 3,727, as if it was some sort of brute-force attack to get a URL.

If that was 3,727 requests to the http server, I think that wouldn't be very much. That is, reading a web page with graphical elements would, I would think, involve a dozen or so http requests -- more if there were lots of little icons and what not. Two journalists looking at a dozen such web pages a few times each would run up that number pretty quickly. (Can someone with more networking experience than I have check my thinking?)

And, of course, a decent firewall logs all requests, including legitimate requests.

So, I would guess that this is just the politician grabbing a number that sounds large to him, and ascribing significance it doesn't have.

By GISS data 2009 was tied for the 2nd warmest year on record and baring a major volcanic eruption 2010 is poised to become the warmest year on record due to the El Nino we're in right now and the solar cycle ramping up on top of the global warming carrier signal.

In Mississippi they are no longer allowed to ask if you want to be an organ donor when renewing your drivers license, they default to "no". My mother found this out after she got her license renewed a few years ago and they had removed her organ donor status.

The dilemma of the white lie. Ultimately it's a question of personal moral philosophy but I think it demeans the person being told the lie in this case. It also undermines the authority of the medical practitioner if you can't trust them not to lie to you "in your best interest."

Then the problem becomes how to pay for all the phones on which to test your app and the service plans that come bundled with the phones. For a small business, this adds up fast.

>>> I also understand that 2.5 million picocuries per liter sounds like a huge amount

Then change your units. "The plant only leaked 0.003 millicuries per liter of water. Virtually noting."

If you don't get contributor agreements you didn't get ownership of the contributed code. You can't assert a copyright on code you don't own. This was a key element in the SCO/Linux suit. SCO didn't own the code it was claiming infringement on.
