Are Rioters Already Trying To Sell Their Stolen Shit On Craigslist?

Last night, an ad displaying 40 boxed and sealed iPhone 4s popped up on Craiglist’s London website. First a shameless Twitter stolen swag pic and now this? That’s totally not suspicious at all.

Verizon Wants 3G Facetime to Only Work With Tiered Data Plans

When iOS 5 launches, Facetime calls over 3G will be possible. But according to 9to5mac’s sources, Verizon only wants 3G Facetime available to users who have tiered data plans, not unlimited ones.

All iPhone 4s Should Have Handmade Wood JackBacks

I’ve argued this before: Apple needs to explore new iPhone materials because the current glass back sucks. It gets dirty too easily. It’s Russian-hooker naff. And it’s way too fragile. Thankfully, there’s a fix for that: JackBacks. https://gizmodo.com/design-test-note-fragile-beauty-5572546 Like We’ve reviewed wooden iPhone backs before, but the JackBack feels more natural, organic and artisanal than…
