My Mega iPhone Review (or Why Steve Jobs is Full of Shit, the iPhone Sucks and Why I Still Love My iPhone)

OK, everybody knows there's no such thing as bad publicity, so we know that no matter what Steve Jobs does Apple Inc. will probably only benefit from it, no matter how shortsighted, shallow and controlling it is.

Steve Jobs is full of shit, in part, because of something he recently said (as reported by TUAW.com here: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/08/11/steve-jobs-discusses-app-store-with-wall-street-journal/ ) "Hopefully we never have to pull that lever, but we would be irresponsible not to have a lever like that to pull."

What's the lever he's referring to? Well, it's a killswitch, of sorts, that, when flipped, can shut down any app on your iPhone. Do you have control over this killswitch? No. Where is this killswitch? It's at Apple HQ, of course. Only Steve and those he deems worthy of the responsibility can access it.

Who does this fuck think he is?

HEY STEVE, you're not talking about the Nuclear Red Button.

What's the concern here, Steve? That Khan Noonian Singh will get a hold of my iPhone and try to, what? Destroy a fictional starship? WTF?

You're just NOT THAT IMPORTANT, STEVE. DEAL WITH IT.

Can We Call It WW III NOW???

I'm not sure how many major-theater/major-world-power wars need to be going on at once before we'll actually call this what it is: a world war.



I know it's a big scary thing to call it a "world war" but I feel that we need to take responsibilty for all of this death and destruction before every continent is engulfed in combat.



Merriam-Webster.com defines a "world war" as: "a war engaged in by all or most of the principal nations of the world,"



That's pretty much what we've got going on here. So why not just call a spade a spade?



OH YEAH. Because then we'd have to take responsibilty for it.



Yick! Responsibility!

The 5 Minute Show Episode 23: News of the Day

Yep, I still have more of these babies laying around! If you're just joining us (you know who you are) The 5 Minute Show was a video podcast I started waaay back in 2003, long before podcasts were video--which is probably why T5MS never got that popular. I stopped doing it shortly after the war broke and resumed shooting it in April of 2006 only to cease production again in December. Still, I think we did some fun (if not always good) work so I'm slowly reposting them all in the hopes that someone, somewhere, will find them interesting.

In episode 23 of The 5 Minute Show ThePete and SiSi cover the news of the day! Including high-pitched news, clown news, puppet news AND MORE. Check out this awesome episode!! Thanks!

CNN.com Covers McCain with Obama Pic

So, I see the headline to this story on CNN's mobile site but when I click on it I see a picture of Obama! I *wanted* to learn who McCain was considering for VP but instead I think that this damn iPhone touchscreen has made me hit the wrong link again. After I double check I discover it wasn't the iPhone's fault for once and that CNN.com intentionally put a pic of Obama in their article about McCain. Good one, CNN.



I'm guessing this is a sign that the news media is still in love with TheObama.

You were "born in 1942 in a tin shack in Covington, Tenn., about 40 miles north of Memphis." Now we all know who you were. RIP Isaac Hayes!

Jailbroken iPhone

Jailbroken iPhone, originally uploaded by thepetecom.

I now have access to even more bells and whistles, yet still no video

recording, VoIP, or unlockage. Supposedly, these will come in time.
