I think that I’ve done battle with all of these jokers.

  It’s been a while since I bagged on the crankiest man in technology, Dave Winer, but he posted something recently that called out for abuse. In a blog post titled Why Angry Birds is so much fun Dave attempts to figure out why the iPad/iPhone game Angry Birds is so much fun. Of course, being a socially maladapted freak, he gets it wrong in a spectacularly horrendous fashion. Continue reading Wednesday Whackaloon: Dave Winer  Yesterday, like a good lemming I updated my iPhone 3G to the newly released and re-named iOS 4. For whatever odd reason it seems that you people are interested in my opinion on such things — which frankly is more than a little disturbing — so here are my random thoughts on the update process itself, as well as running a nearly 2 year old phone with Apple’s newest operating system. Note that this will not be anything approximating a full review of iOS 4. If you want something like that I highly suggest that you read the excellent review from Ars Technica. The Update Process First some notes on the update process itself. I’m happy to report that, unlike many who were upgrading an iPhone 3G, my upgrade went relatively quickly. All told it was probably an hour start-to-finish, but that doesn’t count time spent sitting idle waiting for my input while I buggered off for dinner. That said, the iPhone upgrade process as managed though iTunes is fucking interminable. I’m not yet one of those people who call for the splitting of iTunes into multiple seperate applications, but I’m getting there. During the entire process, which  WARNING: Political content ahead. Like they say, all politics are local, so here is a wonderful slice of Arizona politics via Think Progress. The long and short of it is that the Republican candidate for Arizona’s Superintendent of Public Instruction John “who needs to actually fund education” Huppenthal was, himself, schooled when a high school student confronted him about his abysmal record regarding funding education. Like a typical GOP tool, when faced with the truth Huppenthal ran off in a huff and declared that he was being “punked” by Democratic dirty tricks. I suppose that this just demonstrates that Arizona doesn’t just hate the beaners. It hates an educated populous too. The iOS 4 update is out, and I’ve applied it to my iPhone 3G. Turns out that separate desktop and lock-screen wallpaper isn’t supported on that device. I guess the 3G just doesn’t have the moxie to display a jpeg. But hey, I did get a digital zoom for the woeful camera, so there’s that. |
