Apple is previewing (not releasing) version 3.0 of the iPhone software tomorrow, and hordes of iPhoniacs are clamoring for copy-paste features, with smaller hordes muttering about “push notification” (a type of mobile device multi-tasking).
Kevin Rose of digg.com says copy-paste is a done deal, and MacWorld lists 15 iPhone 3.0 features they’d like to see.

On that last one on MacWorld's list:
Voice dialing
Voice dialing, the ability to say the name of the contact and have the phone call them, is another of those features that many cheaper handsets have but the iPhone surprisingly lacks.
There's already an excellent, and free (I think) voice app called Vlingo available (also several others, but I have and love Vlingo).

I still gots my jailbroken/PWNED iPhone 1.0, and I'm happy with it -- mainly because I don't need to have a "plan" with AT&T. Just buy a SIM card from any vendor, pop it in, and pay for calls by the minute.
For someone like me, who uses cell phones very infrequently, this is about 5% of the cost of having a plan. Wonderful! And it still works in all the ways iPhones normally work: Wi-fi Web surfing, etc.
I also have the ability to download all approved and non-approved apps (because I'm jailbroken with hacked firmware), but I never bother with that. The only one I really like is an application that will convert ANY mp3 or ANY sound file of any kind into a ringtone. So now I have the world's coolest ringtone, of my choosing -- for free.
When they crack iPhone 3.0, then I'll consider it. Not before.

I feel sorry for companies other than AT&T.
When I finished with Verizon in January and was finally free to switch over to ATT, the lady was trying to get me to stay with Verizon, and I said " sure, I'll stay. Can I get an iPhone.
She then tried to sell me a blackberry and I said, sure : Does it have iTunes.

Jailbreaking unlocks the iphone, allowing for a much wider range of functionality as well as the ability to use a different carrier. It can be tricky, especially on the 3G phones, but I have been jailbroken for over a year on my 2g (first generation) iphone. Since there is no 3G service where I live, I don't need the 3G. BUT, jailbreaking is NOT for everyone, and if you aren't very confident and good at solving problems, I wouldn't advise it. I jailbreak for myself and my boyfriends iTouch (1g), it takes hours to get everything back in order, and I have "bricked" both devices several times. All worth it!

re: #107 Researcher...MO
Jailbreaking unlocks the iphone, allowing for a much wider range of functionality as well as the ability to use a different carrier. It can be tricky, especially on the 3G phones, but I have been jailbroken for over a year on my 2g (first generation) iphone. Since there is no 3G service where I live, I don't need the 3G. BUT, jailbreaking is NOT for everyone, and if you aren't very confident and good at solving problems, I wouldn't advise it. I jailbreak for myself and my boyfriends iTouch (1g), it takes hours to get everything back in order, and I have "bricked" both devices several times. All worth it!
You don't need to do it yourself. I am totally non-tech-savvy, and I was able to do it in 20 minutes, with no bricking. All I did was search for pre-made solutions which people had posted.

I sense a wee bit of revisionist history in this:
According to the White House's tabulation, Mr. Obama by the end of February had inserted 512 staffers scattered throughout government, compared with 288 for the Bush administration and 286 under President Bill Clinton. Of those, 32 Obama aides were for more senior jobs requiring Senate confirmation, compared with 22 under George W. Bush and 25 under Mr. Clinton. The administration by March 1 had hired a striking 183 noncareer senior executives, compared with just two under Mr. Bush and 57 under Mr. Clinton.
Let's ignore the fact that Bush was hampered by the fact that the legal fight over who won the 2000 election delayed the transition significantly, and that Bush had to deal with carryovers from the Clinton years. The comparison with Clinton is a fair one, but still ignores the fact that Obama has had months to assemble a team, and has done a pitiful job of finding qualified people through his vetting process.
Either the vetting process is flawed and/or Obama's judgment is flawed.
I vote both.
This report is little more than a regurgitation of Obama talking points, rather than actually reporting the facts and circumstances of failing to fill key positions as Treasury and Commerce to deal with the economic mess.

The reason it takes me so long isn't the jailbreaking part, it't the reinstalling everything part! Of course, I have so many apps I have to use a little program called categories to keep everything organized (available in Cydia).

Anjem Choudary and the British media: Recruiting for the BNP
In their regular reports on the minutiae of Choudary’s world, the British media are causing grave harm to the image of Muslims in Britain and are providing a propaganda gift to the BNP by presenting al-Muhajiroun as an important organisation, as opposed to the cult that it really is. If the BNP continues to grow in profile and support, then part of the blame for this can be laid squarely at the feet of Anjem Choudary and the scandal hungry media that promote him.

Terror victims' relatives vow revenge
The relatives of some Israeli terror victims are preparing for the "day after" a possible Shalit prisoner swap, in an effort to locate and target terrorists freed as part of the deal, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Monday.
The new organization has already started to raise funds and held several meetings in order to formulate its "eye for an eye" policy. The initiative is being led by Attorney Meir Schijveschuurder and his brother Shvuel, who lost their parents and three siblings in the suicide bombing at the Sbarro pizza parlor in Jerusalem in 2001.
The brothers recently started to bring together relatives of terror victims and initiated contacts with donors in Israel and abroad. The new organization aims to prepare an "intelligence dossier" on terrorists with blood on their hands to be released in future swaps and pursue them worldwide.
"We have a file about most of the murderers, including information about their families," Meir Schijveschuurder said "The parents of one of the terrorists involved in the Sbarro attack, for example, own a pizza parlor in Jenin. We have their residential address."
"In addition, there is the female terrorist who organized the terror attack, and she will be the first one for me," he said. "She kept on smiling during the trial, and we shall erase her smile. I am mentally and physically ready to send her to the next world. As to the ones who will remain in Palestinian Authority areas, we will implement against them the customary law there: Eye for an eye."
Schijveschuurder made it clear that he has no qualms with the Israeli government, but added that "the moment it decided to stop punishing them, we will do it as a last result. It would be very worthwhile for those killers to remain in Israeli prisons, with all the benefits and perks. Out of jail they won't be able to sleep well at night. We will pursue them and get to all of them.
Meanwhile, victims' relatives made it clear that they will deal with every terrorist in line with the laws prevalent in his or her place of residence. For example, terrorists located in Germany or Holland will be subjected to lawsuits.
"We need about $5 million in order to hire teams and complete the mission, and we already have a part of this sum," one of the organizers said.

The Obama economic security (for his friends) plan as illustrated by Bram Stocker:
I was not alone. The room was the same, unchanged in any way since I came into it. I could see along the floor, in the brilliant moonlight, my own footsteps marked where I had disturbed the long accumulation of dust. In the moonlight opposite me were three young women, ladies by their dress and manner. I thought at the time that I must be dreaming when I saw them, they threw no shadow on the floor. They came close to me, and looked at me for some time, and then whispered together. Two were dark, and had high aquiline noses, like the Count, and great dark, piercing eyes, that seemed to be almost red when contrasted with the pale yellow moon. The other was fair, as fair as can be, with great masses of golden hair and eyes like pale sapphires. I seemed somehow to know her face, and to know it in connection with some dreamy fear, but I could not recollect at the moment how or where. All three had brilliant white teeth that shone like pearls against the ruby of their voluptuous lips. There was something about them that made me uneasy, some longing and at the same time some deadly fear. I felt in my heart a wicked, burning desire that they would kiss me with those red lips.It is not good to note this down, lest some day it should meet Mina’s eyes and cause her pain, but it is the truth. They whispered together, and then they all three laughed, such a silvery, musical laugh, but as hard as though the sound never could have come through the softness of human lips. It was like the intolerable, tingling sweetness of waterglasses when played on by a cunning hand. The fair girl shook her head coquettishly, and the other two urged her on.
One said, “Go on! You are first, and we shall follow. Yours’ is the right to begin.”The other added, “He is young and strong. There are kisses for us all.”
I lay quiet, looking out from under my eyelashes in an agony of delightful anticipation. The fair girl advanced and bent over me till I could feel the movement of her breath upon me. Sweet it was in one sense, honey-sweet, and sent the same tingling through the nerves as her voice, but with a bitter underlying the sweet, a bitter offensiveness, as one smells in blood.
I was afraid to raise my eyelids, but looked out and saw perfectly under the lashes. The girl went on her knees, and bent over me, simply gloating. There was a deliberate voluptuousness which was both thrilling and repulsive, and as she arched her neck she actually licked her lips like an animal, till I could see in the moonlight the moisture shining on the scarlet lips and on the red tongue as it lapped the white sharp teeth. Lower and lower went her head as the lips went below the range of my mouth and chin and seemed to fasten on my throat. Then she paused, and I could hear the churning sound of her tongue as it licked her teeth and lips, and I could feel the hot breath on my neck. Then the skin of my throat began to tingle as one’s flesh does when the hand that is to tickle it approaches nearer, nearer. I could feel the soft, shivering touch of the lips on the super sensitive skin of my throat, and the hard dents of two sharp teeth, just touching and pausing there. I closed my eyes in languorous ecstasy and waited, waited with beating heart.

Do you have your itunes purchases backed up on discs? Just burn a CD or DVD of them on Itunes backup first, and print the playlists. You can reinstall your Itunes purchases from the backup.

Dead Cat Bounce
Lot's of Red Ink sitting in my funds
Ain't got enough dough to pay the rent
I'm flat broke but I don't care
My 401K dissapeared in thin air
Dead Cat Bounce I'm a falling cat
A beeline to the bottom
Hey man! That's sad
Get a comment thrown at me from the president
My index goes into the garbage can
Yeah, don't like that math!
I don't bother investing dollars now
I sit on the sidelines, taking flight
Howlin' at the indeces it just ain't right
Singin' the blues while the brokers cry
"Dead cat bounce you're a real gone guy"
I wish I could be as carefree and wild
But I'll be working as a Wal-Mart greeter til I die.

I successfully identified it. I earned ten grains of rice. I can also identify Jamaica, and Hungary. Go me! (Seriously, this is a fun thing to do at lunch. I hope to eventually be able to identify all the weird internal chunks of Africa.)
Also, as regards Zombie's report on Tookie Williams, I regret to report that his "Life in Prison" was one of the textbooks for the "Be The Change" class at the hideous school I was working for last year. It's not a very good book, in addition to its other flaws.

This is how I understand it. That we travel through time and space with equal amounts of energy. If we use more energy traveling through space (speed) we have less energy available to travel through time. Thereby slowing time down relatively.

re: #511 Afrocity
What is this Glenn Beck is talking about?
Fingerprinting us in Chicago if we want to buy a home?
I don't agree with it, but the following snipit is from my local paper and shows what they are trying to prevent:
The jailhouse buddies combined their distinct talents to operate the complex scheme that threw nearly 20 properties into foreclosure.
Lytle recruited and "essentially mentored Mr. Valadez in this fraudulent enterprise," Valadez's lawyer, Robert C. Howard III, told Adelman last July when his client was awaiting sentencing.
"Valadez found the straw buyers, often using his connections in the Mexican-American community in the Delavan-Lake Geneva area," Howard wrote to the judge.
Each transaction followed the same general pattern. Lytle created phony paperwork, and straw buyers were employed to take out mortgages that they never intended to pay. In some cases, fictitious names or stolen identities were used.
One of the last illicit deals took place in May 2005, when Lytle and Valadez teamed with the owner of a modest Delavan home at 62 E. Walworth Ave., according to records filed by prosecutors. The plan: Suck the equity out of the home and split the profits.
Using a stolen ID and an unidentified straw buyer, Lytle fabricated an application for a $140,000 subprime loan, most of which went to the homeowner. The homeowner, in turn, gave $27,176 back to Lytle, who shared some of the cash with Valadez, court records show.
Since there was no real buyer, the loan quickly went into default, property taxes went unpaid, and the home deteriorated and was razed. All that remains is a piece of vacant land worth less than $6,000.
And the person whose identity was stolen? He's out more than $1,000 in lawyer's fees, trying to undo the damage to his name.

Not really. That's where relativity comes in. Imagine you are the only thing in the universe. Are you moving? How could you tell? Now if you and I are the only things in the universe and we pass each other going 60mph, then who's moving? You or me? What's important is my perception of your time would be slower.

Yes, you are supposed to have enough in the bank, after the down payment and closing costs, to make your mortgage payment for a period of time. It used to be 3 months but it's probably less than that now, if they even enforce it.

I know we had to have a cash reserve when we bought our first house in 1993. By the time we sold it, the neighborhood was definitely the sort of place that would be redlined.

It depends on how fast you were going. But let's say it did take 1 year ship time and 7 years Earth time. And the closest star is 4.5 light years away, so we'll say that is how far you went. I don't know if all the numbers work out in terms of time dilation, but I don't have time to check them.
You would get there, and receive a message that was sent from Earth 4.5 years before you arrived, 2.5 years after you left, but it would seem you only took 1 year in transit.
Then you come back.
You think you traveled 2 years, but everyone on Earth is 14 years older.
