Shut Up About the iPhone 4’s Antenna Issues Already


ATTENTION TV, NEWS and INTERNET: STOP COVERING THIS STORY ALREADY

If you haven’t heard that this phone is a fuckin shitpile by now, you are either Hellen Keller, dead or living here. There have been 300 articles per minute on my newsreader since June 24th about how the antenna is shitty. We get the point.

Now Steve Jobs felt the need to call an emergency press conference today at 10AM PST with less than a day notice so he can address these issues. Anything other than “I fucked up” or “We are not as amazing as everyone thinks because we have obsessed, blind followers” is a downright lie.

Here’s my problem with Apple. No matter how good or bad they are, people are obsessed. And any time there is news, it’s all the rage.

Ok people? Got it? It has an antenna problem, Jobs was warned, and he was a dick with PR about it. What more is there to analyze? So with that, no one cover this any more, I’m tired of reading it.


Fuck Off, WordPress (Rant 2.0)


I was typing an epic post again. Then I pressed submit. Then it took me to the login page when I was already logged in. I went to check the draft and there was one line there. For fuck’s sake, what a piece of shit. I actually spent time on it. When is this shit going to do real time saving like Google Docs? I’m sick of losing shit, like I did that other time.

Note to self: always copy the fucking thing every once in a while for good measure. I don’t learn


iOS 4 Multitasking is Full of Shit


It’s not real multitasking. It pretty much pauses the app in the background and focuses on the frontmost app. Plus, Apple needs to approve it in the App Store and if they don’t like what you’re doing (such as connecting to servers in the background), they can kill it.

In addition, let’s examine the footnote. The App needs to be rewritten for iOS 4 to take advantage of this. Therefore, it requires the programmer to update the software. On a Droid, you can just multitask anyway with old and new apps.

I had a complete ramble about this a few week ago, but WordPress was an asshole and lost it. I also have no energy to rewrite it.


Sony Illustration Fail


I’m in the market for a new laptop because mine blows donkey nuts. So I’m looking around Sony’s website and notice this illustration. Fail

Ethernet port? Looks like plastic to me. Assholes.

No one cares that you left your iPhone 4 on your car roof and drove off


GizmodoGizmodo reader Ryan Davis made a mindless mistake we could all make: he left his iPhone 4 on the roof of his car, and drove off. This is his story of how a normal day turned into, well, panic.

Guess what. No one gives a flying fuck. Isn’t it common knowledge that you should never put anything on the roof of your car? Because anytime that people do that, it’s inevitable that the person will forget about it and drive off.

You are a moron and it’s a shame your phone survived. Plus, you were two hours late for work. I hope you got fired. There are other people out there who need jobs.

I want to read tech news. Not action stories about how you recovered your iPhone.
