b) You would think that if they were inclined to use it for other-than-clearly-malicious-apps, that they would have done so for apps that require jailbreaking.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand: as someone who started out as a hardware tech 22 years ago, and am still an IT professional; I find that if you MUST get mad (and it's far better not to) it's much much better to have a cold and icy rage that sees you want to revenge yourself on the problem. It's controllable/channelable and doesn't stifle creativity and intuition the way that a blind rage does. And then when you have fixed the problem rather than making it worse, you have won.

Ps. No cut and paste meant that I had to retype that quote: Expect to see a lot less quoting on the Internet as iPhone adoption rates go up...

Pps. iPhone is in the dictionary of words fixed when mangled by the keyboard, even though lots of more common words are not. It's as if they anticipate that many users will be narcissistic (also in the dictionary) and excessively self-referential or something. Oh well, they don't matter anyway, only me. Me and my iPhone.

- Jesus writes story that people can slag him over.
- Hundreds of people log onto the Giz to tell him he's wrong and stupid in the comments section.
- Thousands and thousands of other people read the comments about how stupid Jesus is.
- Gawker media gets many page views of people wondering and commenting on this stupid Jesus person.
- Jesus gets huge bonus cheque signed by BLam.
- Jesus laughs all the way to the bank to deposit huge bonus cheque.
- Jesus and Addy buy solid gold water dish for Fred the face-eating dog

And all of you morons are still queued up in line to be the 150th person to say that it's an RC and that Jesus is stupid, and show off your knowledge of RC plane physics... Hmmm, maybe it's you-all who need to get out more....

This is actually a cool and useful app, that doesn't simply replicate capability that's already inherent (like that Parking one, that's rendered redundant by the simple ability to drop pins on your current location in the base mapping app). For instance, I can forsee evenings of harassing/taunting my married friends by emailing them my coordinates -- a progression of bar->bar->seedy motel. Or maybe I should send the last update from just outside a swanky hotel and THEN go to the seedy motel....
