Sort of serious question: when you get a phone call doesn't the iPhone shut down the current app you have open since it can't multi-task? If so, why would ever want to use the iPhone for something like this? If you get a decent amount of phone calls it could become very annoying.

If, as Jesus points out, you do things that require multifuncion keys that could be programed, this would be fantastic.

Good grief. Why does something so simple take so long (an all accounts).

Just dig the knife in a little deeper before you twist it...

From the point of view of reading a liveblog, it doesn't really matter. What matters is the text generated by the person liveblogging, not the guy on stage they're paraphrasing and commenting on.
After all the reader is reading the liveblogger, not the eggplant on stage.

I can't get On-Sight AppleCare Service.
I can't pull a Hard Drive out and swap it into a loaner computer.
I can't pull CD/DVD Drive out and swap it with a working one.
I can't pull out a fucking BATTERY and swap in a working one.
I can't replace a Keyboard when someone spills some of their fucking StarBucks® Latté into it.
We can do that with our Windows Laptops, and we have on-sight service as well.
So my traveling users with MacBookPro 17" laptops have to wait a week while they send the computers off to Texas, or have to make an appointment with the Mac Gurus at the Apple Store and wait around till their name gets called, while paying a fortune to park in San Francisco (usually) just to have them say they might have time to try to fix it.
Wake the fuck up, Apple!

Really at this point, even if you think it's stupid, if you really need things like on-site service and lots of hot-swappable parts, you should just consider getting something else.

1. You'll never get banned if you have over 30 friends or 100 followers. I have seen starred commenters say some outlandish comments, and nothing. However, I've also seen some minor infractions from run of the mill commenters, and the banhammer was dropped.
2. If you're a woman, you could pretty much recite the verses of Mein Kampf, and expect nothing.
3. In the same breathe as number two...if you disagree with a woman commenter, and you pwn her, you will be banned. I won't call out names, but I pointed out that a female commenter didn't know what she was talking about. She cried to Brian Lam, and bam, I got banned. This is what I like to call the White Knight effect. It is also why I will never respond to female posters, and sadly, never respect what they say. I don't pull the race card, I would expect the same from you.
4. Disagreeing or critiquing of the story posted, yeah, that'll get you banned. This one I'm not picky about. If a story doesn't interest me, I move on, simple as that. Complaining about someone's work is just bad blogging etiquette.
5. High school rules. I've been banned around 5 times, and all of them from Gizmodo. Never from Lifehacker, Gawker, Consumerist, Deadspin, Valleywag, or Jezebel. The blogs where most adults frequent. Sometimes, you'll run into situations where it's a high school politico, and you'll be banned because you offended a certain clique.
I'm sure there's a few more, and I'm sure this will be my sixth banning. So, oh well.

1) Yes they do. Seen it happen on more than one occasion. Seen it happen on Gawker, Deadspin, and at least three times on Gizmodo. In fact, one of the first commenters "enshrined" in the Commenter Hall of Fame (or whatever you want to call it) was banned.
2) Aware of at least two female commenters that have been banned and a third that was nearly run out of dodge by the editorial staff.
3) If you go around trying to "pwn" anyone, that attitude is likely what gets you banned. Banter is kosher. Douchebag "pwn"ing eventually gets you banned.
4) While I agree it's bad blogging etiquette, it usually takes more than just disagreement. It usually takes infantile, out of place, idiotic, pointless, vomitous disagreement. Like "Adam you suck because you wrote this, and you only wrote it because you would clean Art's shoes if he let you" but with more capital letters and typos.
5) Maybe you just behave yourself better on those other sites because you perceive there to be more adults there. Because this "adult" (who also frequents those other blogs) has noticed you, Jon B., and I'm the King go back and forth all day. Never seen any of you before, and wouldn't shed a tear if I never did again.
