They are giving everyone a case for their phone, which helps alleviate the exposed antenna issue. They also went a long way towards showing that most, if not all phones suffer from something similar and that they have the resources to test their own phones in-house better than consumer reports. They also admitted that the reason the 4 may suffer from more obvious antenna issues is that it's obvious where to hold the phone if you want to attenuate the signal. All in all I'd say it was about the best you could expect out of a large corporate entity. The case solution will probably cost them ~$100M in combined costs and loss of revenue.

I heard that the update is best delivered with a glass of something peaty.

Are you really tired? Or are you just displaying the wrong number of strength bars?

Since I've been a vocal detractor lately I'd like to take this opportunity and thank Apple for doing the right thing with the '4'. Now, how about offering me a way to rollback the software on my 3G?

Good to have you back, Stretch!

The hose is hot because the heat exchanger is taking heat out of the air in order to make it cooler. You can't get one without the other.

Sun Kil Moon - April

Is there anything for wildlife around your house not trying to kill you?

I heard about that on a tech podcast over a month ago. Haven't tried it since I've miraculously gotten through to Comcast the last few times I've called in under 5 minutes. But I'm sure I'll find a use one of these days. In iphone related news I am pretty curious to hear what Apple has to say tomorrow morning and I wonder who will be doing the speaking.

Nate faints...

Given Apple's recent track record I would say this is a wise choice.

Joy, I wonder if it'll make my phone even slower or erase it entirely again. [/pissedoffrant]

Who sent you that PM?

Fitz, point out the mistake to Mouser, they'll likely send you the right switch without having to ask.

After work today - several used parts for the new mill. More recently - 2 tickets to Saturday night's Red Sox game.

I does provided you remember all of the apps you've already paid for. The missing link is often remembering and then finding the same app.

Gary, Rule #1: no deadlines. Rule #2: no deadlines. Rule #3: they will pay what you ask to be paid or they can pound sand/ find some other sucker.

Can't believe I didn't think of this before. Jin, if you haven't check out Jenny Owen Youngs, Transmitter Failure. I the cover art and the album.

If you're really looking Haj, try this guy. Kindle Electronic Reading Device

Shelly, Try a hard reset of the ipad, press and hold the power and home buttons for 10 seconds or so until the apple logo appears.

I'm going to try to place an order today.

You've basically ended up where I was a few years back. Customers suck.

Vicki, sorry to hear about your ankle and hopefully someone smart comes up with an option 4.

I listened to an RF engineer speak about this last week. Short version - thin layers are going to have a negligible affect on signal attenuation, at least according to someone whose life's work centered around this very thing (antenna design). His stance was that something at least as thick as Apple's bumper case was going to be necessary to get the job done.

In.
