iPhone 3G: Seven Impossible Days

The title to this post has nothing to do with anything other than iPhone 3G will be released in seven days. “Seven Impossible Days” is a song recorded by Mr. Big.

It is the Fourth of July celebration for people in The United States, and Friday for the rest of the world.

In the meantime, MacNN reports that iPhone 3G starts forming at Apple Store Fifth Ave. in New York. I gotta say that these people are crazy. That’s “Seven Impossible Days” for me to wait in line for the iPhone 3G.

OK, at least I tried making sense of the title to this post to the content, even though no one might get it.

For all of our Canadian friends, unfortunately you’re no longer at the top of “Oh noes, our wireless data plans are ripping us off” list. Our Norwegian friends seems to be getting a more expensive plan.

what else?

Does Safari 3.1.2 Break RSS Feature?

After upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5.4, Safari stops updating the bookmarked RSS feeds. The 10.5.4 update includes Safari 3.1.2 for Leopard.

Previously, to fix the problem I deleted the “Syndication” folder inside my “Library” folder.

I deleted the RSS bookmarks and adding them again, but it still doesn’t fix the problem.

I have not tested this with Safari 3.1.2 on Windows and on Tiger.
