iPhone update: facts and fiction {Engadget}
Sep 28th 2007 3:17PM Guys,
When I tried to update the firmware in my iPhone (not jailbreaked/modified/unlocked), it erased all the data, and said that it needed to be restored. i tried to to restore it quite a few times but that didn't work. Re-installing iTunes and restoring didn't work either. For the record, I tried this on a Win XP machine.
I uninstalled the iTunes s/w, deleted the iTunes folder in C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Apple Computer and re-installed iTunes. Then, I could restore the iPhone and upgrade it with the new firmware 1.1.1. Of course, I lost the data on the phone.
Hope this helps those people who were unable to upgrade their "virgin" iPhone and got stuck mid-way.
Cheers,
Praveen

Feb 28th 2007 11:43AM Is there any reason why companies try to recreate the bots for household and industrial work to look like us? Is there any advantage to get them walk like us, incorporating knee movements etc.? Would an alternative design be better, like wheels to move on floors, and some other mechanism to climb stairs? I would think that it's faster to move n wheels than run?
Of course, I didn't factor in the likely case that humans might be more comfortable to have helpers who look and act like they do... just my 2 cents.
