Orange UK's iPhone contract & pay as you go pricing plans detailed {Engadget}
Nov 2nd 2009 9:40AM @Malcolm
I didn't actually know that; when I was looking for a new mobile network a year ago, the guy in the Vodafone shop told me that they don't do them and I got told the same (for all networks) in CPW. I really ought to know better than to trust someone who bathes in Lynx and uses chip fat to style their hair.
And funnily enough, I went to O2 from Orange because I couldn't stand the damn animal plans.
Orange UK's iPhone contract & pay as you go pricing plans detailed {Engadget}
Nov 2nd 2009 8:41AM Sadly none of the big four do 12 month contracts any more, and 24 month contracts seem to be slipping in as standard.

Oct 25th 2009 6:35AM Because having your TV speakers reflecting sound back at you isn't enough of a stage monitor-like experience. Apparently.

Apple's Jony Ive waxes eloquently about new iMacs on video {Engadget}
Oct 20th 2009 4:47PM Incidentally, the old "if you think you're so great, why don't you do it" argument is the kind of spurious nonsense kids in the playground come up with in order to silence any and all criticism.

Oct 20th 2009 4:41PM We are consumers.
We critique their design choices with our mouths and our wallets; they expect us to...if they don't, they're in the wrong business.
They should always have our interests at heart when they put pen to paper because WE'RE the ones who are going to use their products.
They should never be put on a pedestal because their breath taking visions can become our usability nightmare.

Oct 20th 2009 2:36PM I think this video sums up exactly what bores me to death about Apple's hardware design; it's that laziness that sets in once they know they've "got it right". The only thing that follows the original visual wow is a series of marginal tweaks to the design and they *know* they don't have to challenge themselves because their current reputation as electronics design trendsetters allows them the luxury of not bothering to compete on visuals.
Even when they release an entirely new product, It's become entirely too predictable to guess what it'll look like because they have a house style that they'll never deviate from until a competitor takes a huge chunk out of their market share. The counter argument is that it's pointless wasting money on R&D to change up a notch if you're raking in cash, but as time goes on, it's that creeping complacency that's making Apple as unimaginative and bloated as they claim their competitors are.
