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.
This Just About Sums Up My Day at Work
This pretty much sums up my summer IT job. I was GChatting and the subject randomly came up. The conversation was so excellent, I decided to post it:
No one cares that you left your iPhone 4 on your car roof and drove off
Gizmodo – Gizmodo 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.
This is Why I Hate Summer
Screenshot on my left is my biggest horror of summer. It was just in the 70s for the past two days with no humidity and it was glorious. Now we’re about to enter a never ending 90+ heatwave. Unless I’m on vacation on the beach or at a pool, there is no reason for it to be that hot.
Fuck summer. Fuck the heat. Give me cold. Give me snow. I’m moving to Canada or Alaska.
See people don’t understand: if you’re cold, you can always snuggle, put on a sweatshirt, blankets, layers etc and be cozy. If its 90, you’re screwed unless you have an AC.
Is it fall yet?

Portfolioso
If you read my blog today, the posts were written yesterday and autopublished because I’m far away from civilization in the middle of nowhere. Last time I was here, there was no 3G and poor cell service. Surprisingly, the towers were upgraded and 3G is available now, so I’m writing this from my Droid. The 3G speeds are pretty bad though. I’m good for about 500KBPS.
Anyway, I’m out this bitch because we just lost power from a storm, so cya in the real world in a few.
