Apparently MobileMe is a by wiredog (4.00 / 1) #1 Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 11:42:41 AM EST

disaster. Heads are rolling, ankle deep blood in Cupertino (though MNS may be responsible for that, authorities investigating, etc.)

I dunno about heads rolling... by ObviousTroll (2.00 / 0) #2 Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 11:46:22 AM EST

I read that supposedly leaked email from Jobs about how Apple botched the launch and I was less than impressed. I thought he was supposed to have a serious temper!

Of course, it's always possible that the "leaked" email was actually the marketing department's castrated version of what he really said...

If this was a Hole entry, rather than a diary by MohammedNiyalSayeed (2.00 / 0) #10 Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 02:31:41 PM EST

I might have a response about this. But it isn't, so I don't. I will say this, though; you got less wrong than Om Malik, but only because you assumed less.

What I can't figure out.... by ObviousTroll (2.00 / 0) #13 Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 02:46:35 PM EST

Apparently there are still thousands of people lining up to buy iPhones, despite all the reports of people bricking their phones, problems with syncing with exchange and outlook, problems with battery life, etcetera.

How badly does Apple have to screw up to significantly dent the reality distortion field?

Uh, have you ever used a non-iPhone? by MohammedNiyalSayeed (2.00 / 0) #17 Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 04:17:57 PM EST

While the iPhone may have problems, it's easily the first and only phone software that doesn't totally suck donkey balls. People apparently like not having to suck donkey balls when they make phone calls.

My Motorola Razr V3 works fine by wiredog (2.00 / 0) #19 Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 04:22:49 PM EST

For phone calls. I wouldn't care to do anything else with it.

If the iPhone was available on Verizon I'd get one. But it's AT&T only, which has sucky coverage. Most of the places I go there's no 3G coverage.

: While 'works fine' may be acceptable to you by MohammedNiyalSayeed (4.00 / 1) #20 Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 04:31:16 PM EST

it is not the same thing as "doesn't suck". My T-616 made phone calls just fine. So did my Blackberry 7290. So does my iPhone. Out of the three of them, I dread using the first two, where I only dread the phone part of the iPhone, and that's simply because I don't like talking to, or see any use in talking to, people on the phone.

I was never here. by MohammedNiyalSayeed (4.00 / 2) #9 Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 02:29:50 PM EST

You never saw me. This never happened.

Yesterday, Newark, CA was crawling with cops. In our three car caravan to lunch, the question "what did MNS do?" was posited, independently. My response was that if this was something I did, it would have been SRT and potentially National Guard units tasked with responding, not pudgy, unarmored Newark-Cops.

But I feel the love.

Why were you going to lunch in a caravan? by georgeha (4.00 / 1) #12 Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 02:34:30 PM EST

That implies being social, and consuming food, two things you should avoid.

: It was just my platoon by MohammedNiyalSayeed (4.00 / 1) #18 Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 04:20:12 PM EST

While the members on my team are human, and I eat with them, this is largely a function of us all being prone to eating at the same time. That, and the fact that if you're in Newark, and don't have a car, and aren't riding with someone who does, then you are having pretzels and a mountain dew for lunch.

The other lunch caravan reason is plausible deniability, as the wise gzt pointed out.

Easton & Hawk Mountain by miker2 (2.00 / 0) #4 Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 01:30:06 PM EST

Easton is NOT a nice town. The area that the Crayola factory is in is nice as they pulled a NYC-like "let's renovate the touristy parts" move back in the 90's. The rest of Easton is a disgusting shithole with the exception of Lafayette College.

The actual crayola factory used to give tours but since they opened the tourist spot they stopped.

Hawk Mountain is really neat, especially in the fall. I was there in my teenage years and saw dozens of hawks there riding the thermals. Also some great hiking trails and good PA dutch food in the area.

There's a century on Saturday in West Chester...

Ah, sociopathy. How warm, how comforting, thy sweet embrace. - MNS

: I'm going to have to make SWHTL take me by ObviousTroll (2.00 / 0) #5 Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 01:50:45 PM EST

to Hawk Mountain; I really did want to go there, but the only way to do that would be to make Lamb drive herself around, and the cops have begun to frown on 11-year-olds driving on the interstate.

Truth be told by ObviousTroll (2.00 / 0) #7 Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 02:14:30 PM EST

I don't remember even enjoying the class. I have a much clearer memory of the shaker table for simulating earthquakes.

Sounds like a civil engineering thing by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #8 Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 02:22:03 PM EST

Yup. For some reason by ObviousTroll (2.00 / 0) #11 Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 02:32:51 PM EST

we were all required to take one survey-type class in civil engineering. The might be because Drexel is (was) an old practical-type school for working engineers as opposed to scientists or researchers. I could also be talking out of my hat.

Cheese, Egg, Pickle, Bourbon by wiredog (2.00 / 0) #15 Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 03:01:29 PM EST

Better cut out the cheese, lots of fat in that. Maybe the egg, too.

Re: The Kutztown Festival by theboz (2.00 / 0) #16 Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 04:00:50 PM EST

Dude, you fucked up by not posting something on HuSi about it earlier or I could have straightened you out on it. Even I knew when it was, and went, drank some beer, ate some brats, and had a good time with my family. My step-grandfather lives within walking distance of it, and if you go on Sunday morning you can get in free by telling them you're going to attend church services.
