Trust my rage

My experience was exactly as ND described. Also, we had to give up a 17% discount that Joe got for being in the Army.

I bought one (8 GB)!!!! SQUEE!!!! I went to the mall near my house first but they only had 4GB, so I went to the one in Santa Monica (3rd St.) and they had the 8GB. Another dude was there buying one and he said he'd been trying for the last week, so I'm feeling lucky that I was able to pick it up on the first day I tried to get one.

Cingular will be able to make the changes to my account at night, right? I want to wait to activate it until I'm on my Mac at home. It's already torturous to look at it all day and not be able to play. I want to do the whole deal tonight when I get home. They better be there to do it!

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

I held one!!!

Of course, it hasn't been activated, but it sure is purty....

Our wings are not tired

Yes you can activate at night.

Did I mention we went to the apple store the other weekend and called people on the iPhone? mr. flea was like, "Hi Dad! I'm calling from an iPhone!" His father said, "Uh, that's nice..."

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I played with one two nights ago! I was at a friend's house for dinner and he casually pulled it from his pocket and let me play with it as long as I liked. And boy does that sound porny now that I've written it out...

Trust my rage

Mr cousin got married over the weekend. I brought my iPhone to the rehearsal dinner. He was super excited to play with it and was showing it to all the groomsmen. Eventually, it made it's way to my brother who asked, "Whose iPhone?" When he found out it was me, he responded, "You bastard!"

Totally worth the $600 just for that.

(Oh, and I totally recommend setting up and then letting it sync while you sleep. I had to sync mine 2-3 times before my contacts transferred. Weird.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The Aliph Jawbone is interesting. Apparently a busy LA intersection and my bedroom both sound the same to the person on the other end--and clear. The sound *I* hear isn't as good as with my Motorola, but it's certainly perfectly clear. It's just a bit more hollow.

Most of the complaints I've read about it are comfort. There are four earbuds and four over the ear hooks. I've only tried one so far--not comfortable enough for a half hour yet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Does anyone have their Tivo hooked up to a Mac/Airport wireless network ? If so, what network adapter do you use? I was thinking of the one at the top of this page , but really that's just because it was easy to find.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have one of those, Lee, but I don't have Airport. It took me a while to get it to work. Turned out the Tivo was claiming it wasn't getting an IP address via DHCP from my router, but my router claimed it was supplying one. I had to give the Tivo a fixed IP address and tell my router to reserve an IP address for the Tivo.
