My awesome iPhone 4 delivery story
This morning, the FedEx tracking page changed from “Delivered by 10:30 AM” to have no delivery date/time. I took it in stride, but then I got frustrated, and decided to give FedEx a call to find out exactly what the deal was. I got through to a human surprisingly quickly (thank you Mary!) and after giving her my tracking number and she informed me that iPhone orders were varying in...

Apple was prepared
In yet another post about the possibly stolen prototype fourth-generation iPhone, Jason Chen details the disassembly process of the device for Gizmodo. Here’s an excerpt: There are no markings on the board, but even so, the board was encased in metal all around so nothing could get through and would be very difficult to remove without breaking the device. Anyone trying to take this...

"High-end thrill-seekers pay to be kidnapped" →
stammy: “Through the company’s simulated kidnapping packages, for instance, the participant is abducted without warning—after leaving a restaurant, say, or in the supermarket parking lot. Paying “victims” are then bound, gagged and imprisoned for four or 10 hours (depending on the scenario they choose), allowing them to experience the terror of the real thing. Additional elements such as ransom,...

Linux doesn't really have that sort of problem
Windows Server Friend: My own machine is DOS'ing itself.
Me: So it's a virus or something?
Friend: I guess so. I scanned it; I don't know what I'm going to do.
Me: Yeah, us Linux folks don't usually have that sort of problem.

More Random Spewing on The Tablet/Event
It’s not going to have the word “tablet” anywhere in the name. The name will make perfect, “of course” sense once it is announced, and the name will likely be a common term that will be forever known as a name that changed computing as we know it. Yeah, I went there. The mockups are all foolishly wrong. There won’t be any tiny UI elements (like the OS X menu...

Random Thoughts on "The Tablet"
I didn’t feel like going all-out with a post, but here’s a quick, non-edited thought: Thus far, every commentator (aside from the philosophical ones like John Gruber and the like) has focused solely on the “touchability” aspect of the device. I don’t believe that this is the case. With the iPhone and then the iPod touch, Apple introduced multi-touch to the world,...

Twitter Tees?
spinchange: Someone nominated one of my toots to be a threadless twitter t-shirt: I don’t know who @abrahamvegh is but it was a nice and welcome surprise. Here’s where I shamelessly ask you to vote for it, provided only, of course, that you enjoy it :) Just your friendly neighborhood nominator. ;)

Morgante Pell: With respect to the design, I feel I’ve reached the ideal equilibrium with respect to the Goldilocks Principle: interesting, but not garish. This is one of the reasons I chose a mostly black-and-white scheme for my new personal site. Too much color only serves as a distraction. Morgante’s site is wonderful though. And his writing is even better.

Timeline delays this morning
twitterstatus: We are currently investigating a problem causing many users’ timelines to be delayed. We will update with status here shortly. I’m being affected by this. Very annoying. Feels like the web is dead.
