Our wings are not tired

I do not know about iPhones, but Kristin and I are probably headed out for lunch in a little bit. We are in Chelsea. I have no idea where that is in relation to your position.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

There is an Apple Store on 14th st and 9th ave.

Letter from Apple Regarding iPhone 4

We have discovered the cause of this dramatic drop in bars, and it is both simple and surprising.

Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong. Our formula, in many instances, mistakenly displays 2 more bars than it should for a given signal strength. For example, we sometimes display 4 bars when we should be displaying as few as 2 bars. Users observing a drop of several bars when they grip their iPhone in a certain way are most likely in an area with very weak signal strength, but they don’t know it because we are erroneously displaying 4 or 5 bars. Their big drop in bars is because their high bars were never real in the first place.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

So, basically, it's not that you're losing signal -- you never had any. Nice spin.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Anybody else ever have to send some crap back to Dish Network? They sent me a box to return their crap, and I thought it was just the DVR and the remotes, but they also want a "switch" which I can't even find, and the LBNF which I can't get off the receiver. Maybe I'm just not pulling hard enough? What's the deal? Surely I'm not the only one who's ever had trouble with this.
