Too much lighting

 

    Is it necessary to have so much fucking lighting instore? I'd say somewhere between UFO-like glare of Apple and those (should be braille trained) idiots at Hollister is probably about right. It's even more noticeable now that everything has a glass screen, as demonstrated by this Specialist who is trying to show a customer how told hold an iPad so you can actually see the screen.

Apple App Store and iTunes Accounts Hacked

     Apple hackers are at large again. One guy, Thuat Nguyen has apparently hacked into iTunes. He did this dastardly deed just to boots the ratings for his book apps that accounted for 42 of the top 50 books by revenue in the Books section of the iTunes App Store. Other developers noticed the lopsided rise in Nguyen’s app and found it very mysterious. Up to $200 from hacked accounts were reportedly used to buy the developer's apps. So far there’s nothing official that’s come out of Apple concerning the hack but word is they’re still investigating. So if you notice a few books added onto your account, try to remember if you bought them, even if they are in Vietnamese.

Apple promisses to fix antenna issue, prepare your anti-rad suits!

      "Readers report that Apple's tech support forums originally confirmed that a iOS 4.0.1 software fix addressing the issue would ship early next week (as early as Monday), before the comments were subsequently taken down along with all the other related discussion about the matter.

      The fix is expected to address a issue in iOS 4 related to radio frequency calibration of the baseband. Readers who saw the original forum discussions say that the issue is believed to occur when switching frequencies; because the lag is allegedly not calibrated correctly, it results in the device reporting "no service" rather than switching to the frequency with the best signal to noise ratio.

      iOS 4 introduced some enhancements to how the baseband selects which frequencies to use, so it makes sense that the error may have crept into those changes. Additionally, this explains why iOS 4 has also caused similar problems for iPhone 3GS users."

NetPromoaner Part 1-5

   I've decided to give you, the lovely readers, something to read at the weekend: and that's some reader emails! There's something about feeling other people's pain that makes us feel slightly better about ourselves, so hopefully every weekend we can all sigh together and let today be the first:

Floor's all yours Phil

"The company is a joke. It has turned into a glorified cell phone store with cell phone store patrons and problems. Only with a totally defective iPhone 4 product. I can't wait to leave that fucking place. I tell my fiancee everyday that this is the worst place i have ever worked in my entire life, and I've worked some shit jobs before. I feel like everyone there is possessed and I am the only normal one left. It's actually quite terrifying."

Ha. Terrifying it is. Don't forget onetoone with that phone Phil.
