Battery Life

iPHONE BATTERY

If money is no object, I think you’ll really like your iPhone. I really like mine. But it (or AT&T) drops a lot of calls, and its battery life, now that I’ve had a chance to use it for a while, is not remotely ‘8 hours of talk or 250 hours of standby or 7 hours of web-browsing.’ At least not for me (and, yes, I let it fully drain and recharge a couple of times). The Energizer bunny it simply is not.

BUNNY CURSOR

Speaking of whom . . . David Bruce: ‘A rabbit that really likes your cursor.‘

Quote of the Day

"Between persons of equal income there is no social distinction except the distinction of merit. . . . That is why idiots are always in favour of inequality of income (their only chance of eminence), and the really great in favour of equality."

George Bernard Shaw (with whom I feel like an idiot disagreeing)
