According to the text of The Beatles' final press release in 1970:

"When the spinning stops — that'll be the time to worry, not before. Until then, the Beatles are alive and well and the beat goes on, the beat goes on."

Trizz, you might be on to something here...
I wonder if Steve Jobs unleashes "... one more thing" that has to do with the iPhone, like the first real software update or custom ringtones on iTunes.

"Oooh, discipline! Kinky!"
hahaha, he's using copy/paste to take some text from a "Nigerian scam" email (read subject line: Nigerian Viagara Cheap!!" and send it in a new email to one of his contacts! hahahahah, priceless!

I love you too, man.
Apple.com main page just refreshed with today's product revelations!

http://www.apple.com
Right, Opera is better than mobile IE (I had it on my old PPC at one point), but try and load complete web pages on either browser. A number of sites smell your P910 and go "nuh-uh, let's load a 'mobile' version for Chip".. the iPhone's touchscreen and ginormous screenspace lets real sites load with ease, and the reverse-pinching action to zoom in, out and all around? I'm sure no other mobile device has had that at all. With the iPhone I can actually leave messages on fully-loaded MySpace and Facebook pages, not their so-called "mobile" version equivalents. That, is revolutionary.
Wow, the revelation of the century:

"The iPhone can do [list feature here]? Bro, my [list older smartphone device here] has been doing that for YEARS!"

Then KEEP YOUR STUPID DEVICE. The iPhone has a revolutionary user interface, a polished GUI which means I can press a button on the touch-screen and actually have the device respond to me! I've had mobile Internet Explorer crash ten times as much as Safari on the iPhone has (it's not perfect) ... but at least when Apple issues an update (when it does) for the iPhone, then all devices can be updated at once through software. Try modifying the BlackBerry keyboard through software, ha!
Apple USED to be a computer company, until they changed their name to "Apple Inc." to let the world know that, since the iPod, they don't just focus on PCs anymore. I'm a Verizon customer and I am disappointed with VZ crippling their phones. Imagine, an iPhone with V Cast... hahaha!

It's so cuthroat, this industry. Remember that, among other things, Apple wanted a percentage of the monthly cellphone fees, say over how and where iPhones could be sold and control of the relationship with iPhone customers. Apple also fussed about sole discretion over whether a phone should be repaired or replaced in case of damage. (AppleCare for an iPhone?) Verizon probably wanted to modify the iPhone with V CAST brouhaha (with Verizon, any media capability = V CAST)... slap branding all over the OS and even modify the outer casing with a pretty red and white logo.

Two equally controlling companies, wanting to impose their restrictions on one another... Cingular/AT&T must have forked over something, something so embarassing that they refuse to elaborate, other than "We've got Apple for 5 years, NeenR NeenR!!"

But all will be revealed soon, when iPhone customers will be told how to handle their new precious device.
That's awesome. I flew Korean Air three weeks ago and used my Apple Macbook Pro during the flight. I had better hope that airline security spots the built-in camera and knows the difference between a MBP and a Powerbook on my flight back to the States, or there's gonna be hell to pay.
"I like nikon better. there just a more 'quality' company."

I think you want to explain what makes Nikon a "quality" company... it's just too vague. As for me, I am a Canon freak all the way. My colleagues who use Nikon and those in my department who use Canon don't tear each other's heads off. Nikon doesn't suck, and Canon doesn't either -- although it's really gonna come down to what you look for in a camera.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
