    I'm going to tackle anyone in the San Francisco area using a phone. I have about a 1 in 808,976 chance of catching the bastard.

    So, just in case you were wondering if, after three years running, Steve Jobs might sit this year out, give everyone else a chance to "catch up to the 1st gen iPhone", rest assured everyone. Apple will not be pulling an iPhone Snow Leopard.

    The iPhone 3GS came out 8 months after the first field test reports came in.

    Looks like the iPhone version 4 will come out in 8 months or so.

    And it just happened to be in time for me to not be eligiable for an upgrade. On November 7th, I got my 3GS and started a 2 year contract then, couldnt wait any longer for a phone.

    In reply to Let's Sing About Safer Sext (NSFW)
    This is why I scour the message boards and porn sites for male genitalia that appears similar to mine. I then store these photos in a special folder, and when someone asks for a pict, I send them one. That way, if it ever comes down to it, the picture evidence won't stand up in court. Besides, once she sees the real thing, she'll be so awestruck, she won't notice the obvious inadequacies the "stunt penis" picts I sent had.

    they're called cops, and you should drive away from them as fast as possible whenever you see one. it also helps if you make a lot of fast turns in the process while still taking into account the locations of any nearby cherries when formulating your route.

    I think part of it drivers too. I couldn't tell you the number of times I've had drivers disregard the laws and almost hit me while I was crossing the street. I've had to jump out of the way of cars and barely been missed on several occasions. Cyclists do it too. Specifically I'm referencing crosswalks without a signal light. Legally, the minute my foot hits that crosswalk, you are required to stop, yet so few cars and bikes do.

    @Nathan Obbards: The part the drivers bring to the table is a constant, "Drivers suck" = constant danger. If you are preoccupied with a phone conversation and let your guard down or stop paying attention when you enter the drivers domain, that your ass. Yes drivers suck. Yes drivers do illegal stuff ALL the time. Yes you need to be on point when negotiating the streets as a pedestrian. Yes wearing a bluetooth earpiece makes you look like a complete and utter toolbag. Solution: Sit down and have a conversation or lean against a wall. Stop pacing around blindly in front of pedestrians (bump), bicycles (ouch), and vehicles (call an ambulance).

    @Puffs: I stop talking and tell people to hold on while I cross in those crosswalks. Cars have had time to stop and I've still slapped the side of cars or jumped out of the way of cars while listening to music or talking on my phone.

    In reply to Your Phone at 55 Degrees Below Zero
    My mother is the superintendent of the Delta school district in Alaska where they have a policy that they call off classes at negative fifty degrees. There is a lot of arguing about how they measure that (normal thermometers cannot accurately register temperatures below negative thirty), where they measure that, and whether that is safe. They now have an amazingly geeky gadget for measuring temperature which is the same type used in Antarctica.

    Regardless, my point of this story is that their policy apparently does not take into account the ability of the students to use their cell phone while waiting for the bus at any temperature below negative forty. It may be time for her to update their school policy. Would hate for the kiddies to be without their cell phones for the day.

    BOO.. I love my iphone, but I'm very disappointed with AT&Ts 3G coverage. When purchasing my iphone, I was told my city was supposed to have 3G in October 2008. Here we are, pushing 2010 and still no 3G!

    I really can't complain about their regular network coverage though. Other than a few dead spots here and there when outside city limits, I haven't had any problems. I've also never had a dropped call in an area receiving network reception.
