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

So Apple is going to give a free case to iPhone 4 users.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That's what the press conference was all about? Lame.

That's what the press conference was all about? Lame.

But they're magical cases.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yawn.

I'm beginning to believe in the "bad batch" theory, btw, due to the fact that I've tried every which way I can to make my phone drop bars, and I can't do it. So I think I got lucky when my pre-order didn't go through.

I think it works for us because we're in NYC. In New York, AT&T uses 850MHz for 3G. In other cities AT&T uses 1900MHz, which would tend to perform worse.

Huh - interesting! Either way, I'm keeping it.

The status is NOT quo.

Jessica, I've heard that from a few other people, too. Drew said he and Tom tried to replicate the problem and couldn't.

That is pretty sweet. Makes Apple seem less whiny.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

That's all well and good, but until the Consumer Reports thing came out, weren't they denying that the signal was affected at all? Now their excuse is "everyone does it"? Please.
