"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think AT&T's purchase of Cingular has made the company a lot less customer friendly.

You are supposed to get the unlock code right away. I can't believe there is ANY waiting time.

ita, I had to call customer service to do a plan change 2 weeks ago and that was like Abbott & Costello. I asked the woman to verbally confirm the changes and she said the wrong plans. I corrected her, she emailed me a confirmation that was the wrong plans. So then I called customer service back and she had done what I asked correctly, but verbally gave me the wrong info. WTF?

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

That's way nifty looking.

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've probably read this somewhere but I don't remember - what are the supposed benefits of running OS X on an iPod?

It would, in theory, make your iPod look and act more like iPhone. Basically a slicker GUI.

It would also, in theory, make it more hackable like an iPhone.

I suppose with the bigger display (that supposedly will happen) a slicker, more capable OS would be worthwhile to take advantage of it.

I am tired. That first sentence is pretty awkward, but I'm going to leave it....

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Speaking of hacking the iPhone, I just heard on NPR that some college kid unlocked the iPhone for the first time. I can't find a web article for it, but apparently you have to take off the cover and scrape off a delicate wire in the interior of the hardware. Unsurprisingly, there's a high likelihood you could damage or destroy the phone in doing so.
