Now the product will cost more to use this technology. Don't worry, you'll still be getting the same 8 ounces of product, but it's okay that they charge you more because you'll finally be able to use all 8oz!

iOS 42. is totally useless for iPhone users until it gets jailbroken. Stay away like the plague until it's jailbroken and stick with 4.1

iTunes is more "bloated" and "worse" than any Microsoft Office app I've ever used.

Can someone PLEASE jailbreak the new (August/September purchased) iPhone4?
Comment Stress. Sex. Social. (Score 1) 470
I can talk about my circle of friends/fellow students in college. Alcohol is used to relieve stress.. much like a cigarette. Alcohol leads to sex for most teenagers/mid-20s men and women (and I suppose older, but this commentary is from my own experience), a healthy activity -- that also relives stress. Alcohol is social. A more social person is shown to also have a healthier life versus a non-social person. Alcohol is a huge part of teenage/mid-20s life in New Jersey, especially enrolled at a university -- and I imagine most American life.
Are there better options for a healthy lifestyle? Exercise, diet, etc? Absolutely. But when you look at all things evenly at the end of the day, it does not surprise me that alcohol is a positive part of life for most people.

Mod this. Angry Birds is the best iPhone game I've played yet.
Comment Divx support? (Score 1) 1184
Huge selling point will be Divx support. Obviously, it will need a jailbreak.. but even with a jailbreak, my iPhone 3G can't properly play Divx.
Comment Almost as bad: the journalism (Score 1) 1343
In the face of an absolute tragedy, the journalism is almost as bad. Using these sort of horrible incidents and making absurd connections to gain hits/views/attention on a news article is absurd.
"Three year old shoots self with gun" or "Nintendo causes kid to commit suicide"
If you own a gun, you don't leave it near a kid. A kid means anyone not responsible enough to know the consequences of pulling its trigger -- this may mean up to 18 years old, if the situation so warrants. To leave a real gun, loaded and ready for shooting, within reach of a three year old should be a criminal offense. The father didn't pull the trigger, but he might as well have.
Ever see a three year old? Ever see a three year old pull/grab/touch/suck/eat/play with EVERYTHING in sight?

Hopefully they come down. It looks like its $500 for one of the new models if I'm already on a contract.

So now that there is a $200 16GB 3GS, what do with a recently cracked (but completely functional) 16GB 3G? Repairs are $200+
Comment Gameplay * (Score 1) 511
Gameplay > (Expensive) Graphics
Gameplay > (Expensive) Movie License
Sure, you'll sell the big Spiderman name or pretty graphics to a handful of ignorant parents, but in the end your game will succeed or fail based on the quality of its gameplay.
When you've mastered the gameplay, and you can majestically combine graphics and movie license, then you have a truly stellar game. See: GoldenEye 007.
But you can't neglect the gameplay for any reason, or else you end up with titles like Superman 64.
Comment More importantly, a feature for cell-phone texting (Score 1) 281
Google, develop something for my iPhone that makes me solve a series of differential equations before I'm allowed to send out a text message after 11PM.
Please.
Or maybe just.. "Hold your iPhone level for 60 seconds if you would like to send this message."
That'd solve 95% of my relationship problems.
