Ditto. Who are all of these pirates? Is this why geeks have been supporting the so-called talk-like-a-pirate day? Is there an app that will turn you into a pirate?

Spot on - wrt marthons. This is a race where ultimately during the next decade billions of units will be shipped - half the people on earth will have a connected communication device, with half of that population cycling every two years ? Plenty of profit in third place, and over the long haul - way too premature to call time of death on the folks who invented this category.

"In most cases" That's the bottom line - just apply the same rule to comments you do to code; overly verbose is usually more confusing.

Interesting the Chrome spell checker doesn't seem to be clued into the validity of this word.

Exactly; information technology - whatever your team is building must be information related. Who cares what they call the department. Attract your talent by paying competitively, providing excellent benefits, good development hardware, and let them script their own specific title. So long as the content doesn't offend clients, your business, or others; i've seen guys with "may contain peanuts" as their official role. Dude codes like no other...

"Not quite evil enough"

Let's hope so.

Been playing John's mashup all morning. It is beautiful and inspiring. Thanks for the mp's...

At a glance the site is a little crowded. Something more akin to visual thesaurus.

Yah - and the plethora of time-telling apps should all remove their clocks because that's redundant functionality too. Strongly encourage folks to ring Apple and demand release of the google version of voice. The web ui set as an app shortcut is at least a workable replacement, it doesn't come close to the functionality on display in the android version of the voice app.

If the real threat is his release, the practice should be to remand w/o bail; not set the amount so high its unreachable. At some point, someone who can easily pay 5 mil will be in the seat, and on the street? Bail denied. Next case.

FELICA and similar systems will be free apps to help you spend more efficiently. Forward compatibility of Apple's phone is limited only by the i/o interfaces, and strap ons make even that limitation virtually meaningless.

Use the incognito window - sounds like a lot of folks at google must've had you in mind.

So the core will allow 47 kinds of clock and 18 different flashlights, but Skype is the only alternative phone? Google voice rocks, and if Apple doesn't embrace it, they'll only add credence too Android...

Noticed the white 3GS in one of the fa was a white 16GB. Have a blk 32gb here, and no heat problems (haven't used this as a driving directions device tho). Battery seemed a little short the first week, but is awesome for the past few days, and am using it more now than before. Its my first iphone (waited for disk exceeding my second gen 20 gb pod)... Its a gamechanger for sure. Had a palm VII years ago, jornada, etc... So awesome to have everything i carry on one device. Call me fanboy, but the pink picture looks like nail polish to me. Let the device fully discharge a few times. Make sure to fully recharge a few times. Battery maint is a user responsibility at this point given the extensive experience we have portable/rechargeable devices. I'd also not discount the notion that this problem is affecting 16gb devices, and not 32's... Thoughts?
