Apple's iPhone 4 denial: insulting or ignorant?

Weird. My iPhone 4 has MUCH better reception

I never used to be able to make or receive calls in my office at work with my 1G or 3GS iPhones. My iPhone 4 has dramatically better reception than either of my two previous iPhones, which means I can now use it as while at work. Hurrah for Apple but I do fear for my future productivity if I no longer have to put up with work's firewall...

Try as I might I can't seem to get the death grip to work either. I feel very left out of all the whining...

Apple: popularity, not problems, caused iMac delays

My 27 inch iMac is fine

I've had no problems so far with my 27" iMac, which I've had for a couple of months now. The screen is beautiful and the i7 chip is an order of magnitude faster at video compression than my previous Mac Mini. iLoveit.

Sky

Why is it that the more a NewsCorp product costs, the more useless it is? I already ditched the HD part of my Sky subscription because there is nothing at all worth watching on anything apart from BBC HD and I'll be ditching Sky altogether when I move house next month. I see absolutely no reason to pay £17 a month when all I watch is the free to air channels. For all its hundreds of channels and half-decent new GUI, there really is nothing at all I'd consider watching on ANY of Sky's channels apart from the ones like BBC and Ch4 you can get free through the aerial. And I'm damned if I'm continuing to fund the Evil Empire just to be allowed to record TV on a Sky + box. If News Corp starts charging for even more of its dross, good riddance to it.

Worst company in the world

...and proving it once again. Well done Ryanscare, yet again you remind me why I'm never flying with you ever again.
