Two Quickies

First, a “Ha!” to Dan Costa; and a kudos to Yardena Arar at PC World. One of Dan’s ram­pant spec­u­la­tions in his lit­tle iPhone hit piece that I com­mented on here was that the iPhone 3G would undoubt­edly have a worse bat­tery life than com­pet­ing 3G phones. On the con­trary, PC World ran some actual tests (what a con­cept) and deter­mined that, while all 3G phones suck bat­tery like a Hilton sis­ter on a schwantz, the iPhone 3G sucked the least. As an aside, I really have to say I’m impressed with the qual­ity of the PC World arti­cle. It’s fac­tual, unbi­ased and mod­er­ate in tone. My gods, could there still be actual pro­fes­sion­als out here on the interwebs.

Second, fuck you to Electronista (sis­ter site of MacNN), and I’ll be damned if I’ll link to you prats.  Why the vit­riol? Because this is where I got the PC World story from, but there isn’t a sin­gle gods damned link that I could find from the Electronista story to the actual PC World story.  You con­tent steal­ing, no credit giv­ing pricks really piss me off. 

Update:

Ok, I fuck­ing take back any­thing nice I said about PC World. Apparently being objec­tive was to much of a bur­den; so the shit birds at PC world have changed the title of the above linked story to “3G iPhone’s Battery Life Beats AT&T Rivals – But EvDO BlackBerrys Run Longer.”  Hey, dick mon­keys, the iPhone doesn’t fuck­ing run on EvDO. Comparing it’s bat­tery life with EvDO phones is like com­par­ing my alco­hol tol­er­ance with that of a Mormon’s. The need to pan­der to the anti-Apple crowd never ceases to amaze me.
