    I can't wait to see what Apple designs for this sexy future. I bet it will be more stable than Microsoft's with fewer Digital STDs. However, it might be more difficult to "eject" your peripherals when you're done, if you know what I mean.

    @Software_Goddess: I must apologize for being so recklessly unclear and, while I believe an explanation of the joke's not too subtle subtext may dissolve any humour it once contained, I shall attempt to clarify it for you. You see, I hoped to make a jest about the annoying prompts that surface in the Mac OS when one attempts to eject a disk (or disk image) while it is still in use by a program. At it's heart, this joke was meant to imply humorously, though of course rather absurdly, how this relationship might be applied once a person's penis or vagina becomes a peripheral to the computers in the above described physical/digital sexual interplay of software and hardware; and I do mean HARDware, am I right?

    P.S. I will not explain what I hoped to connote about the associate of hardware and erect penises in that last sentence.

    So, since torrenting oneself would prevent that whole pesky element of accidental babies, it looks like the concept of seeding will need a new name.

    Video on phones isn't really good for battery life, so I'm not really surprised that they've left it out to be quite honest.

    @Lite: is laughing at the Lazytown/Lil Jon remix: That's why I simultaneously respect and dis on the decision. Maybe the iPhone's not made for the knowledgeable gadgeteer, but we should all know video sucks up battery life. If I need to snap a quick vid for something once in a while and the hardware's capable... let me make that call!


    Anyways... I get this is Apple's philosophy and I respect it. Just ain't for me.

    @Fractal the Meek: Well, the problem is that the phones don't capture motion video. They take a series of mpg images and stitch them together w/ audio track. That's the part that is really power draining on the system.


    I worked for Motorola for a few months last year, and had a discussion w/ an engineer about video on phones, and why it was so damn primitive.

    @Fractal the Meek: And w/ the phone's design it isn't as if you can just swap out batteries if you kill it shooting video.


    It's basically a trade-off they willingly made on the phone's featureset.

    Yeah, he was about as accurate as the gypsy fortune teller I hired to help me get a jump on the pool at work. She also nailed the lack of true multitask but had some weird prediction around a Smell-o-Vision upgrade for the hardware/SDK...
