Sarah Palin actually is a Pig. Religion was made up to serve as a foundation for social cohesion, the control of women, the control of land, the justification of slavery, a quick and easy way to make thousands of dollars on Sundays for people who don't want to work, and as a tax shelter for an unlited number of corporate criminals...

Dude, how can you mess that up when the guy right above you has it correct: WERE. I wish I WERE a real phone.]]>Sep 18th 2008 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/iphone-3g-has-a-hidden-data-matrix-code/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/iphone-3g-has-a-hidden-data-matrix-code/
Were is used to refer to a third party. Example: "You were wrong."
Was refers to the narrator. Example: "I was right."

Thus: "I wish I was a real phone."

However, it still isn't a funny comment (no offense Argot).]]>Sep 18th 2008 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/iphone-3g-has-a-hidden-data-matrix-code/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/iphone-3g-has-a-hidden-data-matrix-code/http://www.englishforums.com/English/WasVsWere/nmqx/post.htm]]>Sep 18th 2008 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/iphone-3g-has-a-hidden-data-matrix-code/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/iphone-3g-has-a-hidden-data-matrix-code/

They make a huge profit off of battery replacements because they don't need to have it easily accessible/replaceable for the IMEI code. Simply brilliant, highly profitable business practices Apple!

It's probably just another serial number - or like a batch reference (where else do you see those things - on parcels - so it's probably just a record of which lot it was produced in).]]>Sep 18th 2008 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/iphone-3g-has-a-hidden-data-matrix-code/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/iphone-3g-has-a-hidden-data-matrix-code/

Correction: spelling is overrated.

I imagine that this is due to the fact that the original iPhone was a $599 device when it first came out and the 3G is near enough nothing in most markets given the right contract.

Its cheaper to just write it to the phone's ROM and (maybe) in this QR code (or whatever this is), thereby saving on costs.

Because certain "words" such as "genious", "loose" when it should be "lose", the misuse of your and you're etc. are becoming commonplace and it's annoying as hell. I'm no grammarian, but I am quite sick of the massacre of the English language being acceptable.
